Jae-Glanza Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hello there folks, Been on here a while now and thought it was about time i made a build thread.The startThe MotorToyota Starlet Glanza V, Bought it completely standard with its original flair, Steelies & import documentation. The car has a fair few extras, L.S.D, Rear strut brace and window tints. I took a risk in buying her a bit cheaper with very little mot & tax, however it payed off when all she needed was a new cv boot & passenger door handle to pass MOT. Made me a very happy chappy because getting your hands on a standard Glanza is rare as rocking horse shit.Few pics of when i picked her up. Once i had her mot'd, tax'd and serviced i than began the modifications =]New WheelsFirst things first, Get rid of these steelies. Local chap had these mr2 Roadster Alloys at a steal price, Mint condition wrapped in bridgestone potenza's. Too good to refuse.The paintshopAfter treating her to some new wheels. As i'm extremely fussy about paintwork, i managed to persuade the old man who sprays cars for a living, to do some bits on the Glanza. I had stone chips on the bonnet, Few chips on the side skirts and a blemish on the rear bumper.The Engine ModsThis is my first turbo car so one of the first things on my list was a dump valve, Believe it's probably a novelty but still went and purchased a Baileys Bov, Shortly after i cleared the 1st & 2nd gear restriction by swapping the pipes as in the guide & Fitted a Rx7 Top mounted intercooler.After taking and looking at this picture i realised how dirty the intercooler was so i gave that a polish and a clean. Was very impressed with it's results.AFTERStripping the rearI had the biggest heaviest twin subs which i decided to remove, Got a little carried away and removed the back seats. Although its not massively stripped and i doubt the weight of the seats actually made a difference, The subs certainly did. Having any more than two seats isn't an issue as the motor i sold to buy the glanza only had 2 seats. =]My Van i sold to buy the glanzaThe rear of the GlanzaNew SuspensionToday, October the 28th. I fitted me new suspension. Tein Springs & KYB excel G Shocks Front and rear. I got the impression these were going to be a very stiff ride, But i can honestly say there comfortable enough for road use her in the south west =]Thanks for reading =] Feel free to comment.

Jae-Glanza Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks Chaps =] should have a few updates in a few days. Waiting on a few things in the post first =] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jae-Glanza Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Got home from work on Saturday to find a parcel, which contained these =]Couldn't resist but go out and fit them in the dark and damp later that evening. Pretty simple really, the manual that came with the hid's made it seem so complicated so scrap that if anyone else has a set waiting to be fitted.Still havent got around to cleaning the car, but do have some new shots for you with the suspension fitted, HID's & cheeky decal.The rear isn't as low as i would have liked it but seems to be a common thing on these. Having the back fairly stripped also won't help the cause =p Plus it's my daily so 60mm isn't practical. I reckon its come on a long way since when i first bought her, I'm pretty happy with the exterior now so will begin work on the engine. Ideally i'd like around the 180bhp mark. Safe,Money efficient & no massive k turbo mods =]Thanks for reading, Please leave a comment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
