~Glanza Turbo~ Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hello people,my names spencer an im from the NW. I am in the process of looking for a Starlt Glanza to buy. Currently i am driving a Mk2 Fiesta XR2 which i take to a lot of shows etc and has been the best car i have ever owned.Alot of my mates drive Jap cars and because i feel left out and get quite a lot of stick of em all, i have decided to see what all the fuss is about.I went out with a mate of mine who has one and it was a mental ride, hence me joining. At the minute i dont have a clue when it comes to jap cars, and im hoping you can help.The car i have seen is a Glanza V Turbo, 1998, 29,000Miles with the followin mods:Front mount intercooler. Re-located apexi air filter. Zisco ram manifold. Custom 3 inch exhaust (stainless). Blitz nur spec back box. HKS dump valve. TRD short shift set. TRD ignition leads. Aluminium cooling panel. Aluminium speed vision radiator and slimline fan. Cusco oil catch tank. HKS fuel cut defender. Apexi neo fuel management. Gizmo intelligent boost controller. Cusco 6 point roll cage. Subaru WRX seats. Exedy stage 1 clutch D2 racing fully adjustable coilovers. Toyo proxes all round. Dont supose anyone has any idea on what power this will be kickin out? the company selling it dont know as it hasnt been rolling road.Looking forward to goin jap spence Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 definatly,remember to check it. make sure its warm to check for smoking also monitor all fluids to see if its been maintaned.out of practice i change my oil every 2ooo milesalso check the gearbox for whining noises or gauges. and if you can test drive it take it up to to a decent speed on the dueler etc.there is a guide in the wiki section in the side bar that could help you with a few needed pointers, mateedit, just noticed the mileage. it should be total mint if thats correct.do a history text check.how much is it going for and have you a list for the add?
