GordR Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hi FolksThought it was about time i introduced my Glanza.Imported the car at the start of the year from a friend at a tuning company in Japan. The car is a 97 Glanza V , has been built from the shell up , so shes pretty immaculate.Car has been built solely for circuit use , fully caged , and has all the supporting mods , chassis bracing , fully adj suspension with adj top mounts , bigger brakes front and rear, TRD LSD etc etcEngine wise the car has a fully forged 4E going in and head work, planning to run fairly high boost 1.4-1.8 bar depending on usage. Turbo wise she is running a Blitz K3 , although this may change depending on how laggy i find it , power fc & commander , 550cc injectors , uprated fuel pump , lines , FPR etc.Still plenty more i have planned for the car , 2009 will probs see a strip down with a target to get weight right down. For this year the car is being run in road trim in national sprint and hillclimb events as I've been wanting to get into motorsport for quite a few years now , finally at a stage where im coming to the end of 6th form and i have time to get into it.First pic of the car. More to follow. I will keep the thread up to date with mods i do to the car and results from events. Will also pop a full spec list up when i get chance.Mods on there way:- new Forged 4E- Matching Sabelt Bucket seats- Arch Extensions- Matching lightweight wheels- Upper rear spoiler- Late spec rear lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
