chriswoodfto Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi all, some of you may ahve spoke to me already, as ive been asking alot of questions.lol. was planning on doing quite alot to her today but unfoprtunetly a lack of tools and too much wind stopped me. heres a pic this morning before id done anything, forgot to take the pic with the orange indicators on though, what i had planned for today was to fit my rota grids, paint the calipers red, fit my blitz dump valve, lower it on my whiteline springs (does anyone know how good they are? im guessing good) tint the rear 3 windows, (light tint) im not into the black chav look.lol, unfortuantely it was too windy and just as id got the tint on the back window perfectly, the last corner blew on itself so creased, need to order some more and possibly move countrys to get it done in less windy conditions,lol.couldnt get hold of any spring compressors to borow, (not paying hal'frauds' 20 quid for some shitty things) so thats gota wait till next week unofrtunately, i did however get round to fitting the Blitz BOV, which sounds quality. also fitted the rotas which look really good in my opinion, painted the calipers and fitted the clear indicator lenses. im wating on some carbon eyebrows to arrive aswell, also sourced some mr2 half leather half alacantra front seats, (does anyone know if they bolt straight in because i dont want them if they dont) and gona do that lowering next week. car has also got fitted, apexi avcr boost controller, hks induction kit,back 3point strut,coments welcome, cheers guys.

You even have to modify GT seats to fit in a Glanza / SR / n/a and vice versa ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cheshireglanza Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 seats wont just bolt in you will have to mod the rails Quote Link to post Share on other sites
