Hello everyone. I've had this Glanza Just over a month now. Bought it for a good price knowing I needed to tidy a few things up to suit me. It's been mapped by Tuning Developments and has a Dyno printout of 202bhp at 1bar. Coming from a mapped Fn2 and being my first turbo car it puts a massive smile on my face 😁

This is what it looked like when I first got it. Immediately went about bringing it up to date.

I know these aren't to everyones taste as they're reps but I got a good price on these and really think they made the car look alot more modern 20200215_082831.thumb.jpg.ed836bfd2cd28e2c74d2849271821086.jpg

Also the TRD gearknob on the car didn't feel great so I swapped it for a Tomei one and it feels alot better 

next on the list was a BOV so I found this locally on Marketplace but it had seen better days so I took some time to bring it back to life, just waiting on the right hoses to fit it to the car now 20200223_114218.thumb.jpg.887a3faa167ceee0b0319cd0ba723396.jpg20200223_132836.thumb.jpg.aeb12bf06eda3c0b2e3551e97d4bee09.jpg

Nice, looks like you're making progress!

I like the Tomei knob and gaiter, where did you buy them? And has this car got footwell lights on it? 

Also what is that gold packet infront of the shifter? Generic air freshener?

Keep up the good work.

Looks good! Always liked this car when John had it. An simple oem look with the power to surprise. Whats next in the pipeline? 😎

Thanks mate, John was a pleasant bloke to deal with and he definitely looked after the car. I'm just going to be doing a few subtle mods, I'm after some blue DC5 recaros and a ducktail wing next. I'm probably going to be keeping it at the power it's running as it goes well for what it is.

Thankyou mate, Tomei knob and gaiter where off ebay. Simple mods but a nice touch. It does have footwell lights. And that gold packet is something from a shrine in japan, John found it when he pulled the carpet for a deep clean. I think it's nice to have something from its time in Japan.

Thought I'd post a little update on the starlet. I fitted some 98' spec rear lights as they look 10x better in my opinion. I've also got an OEM rear lip I'm rubbing down ready for paint. With this country in lockdown I can finally get some bits done. This picture was taken a few weeks ago, Thought I'd take the Glanza out after what felt like 2 months of stormy weather.

Quarantine has given me lots of free time so time to sort out the things that where bothering me. Engine bay has been properly tidied and I'm quite happy with how its turned out. Alsopurchased a JAM replica front lip and I'm currently waiting on JAM skirts and wing to arrive. 20200415_153931.thumb.jpg.eb5ab4c424beb01c0a040b09ff75f80b.jpg

This was the engine bay before 20200403_145002.thumb.jpg.bb4316a3a4444f1a81489800b7de97c4.jpg

I also took the time to dye the carpet black but only have this picture with my Daughter (Who can't stop climbing in and out of the car) I think I've got her appproval 😂20200403_174023.thumb.jpg.cb81466cac138b50dc3d7bfe71a13987.jpg

So the JAM skirts and spoiler arrived yesterday so I spent the day mocking everything up and seeing if it all fits. Skirts required a littte filing down by the rear quarter but it was expected with FRP products. I am over the moon with how it looks and it's not even painted. I think I'm going to get a mid spoiler and that should finish of the exterior nicely. glnza1.thumb.jpeg.6ca65af25efd8e0b62abe2da26567511.jpegglnza2.thumb.jpeg.f3e45b0a32794deb6ea3da2322731a68.jpegglnza3.thumb.jpeg.0e0ce097a45d096d59827582ac534d3f.jpeg
