Duncan_Glanza Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 About time i started a topic seeing as i've owned the car for a year,P reg, 110000km's bought it from WRC sales in bradford this time last year, have heard some good and some bad reviews, thought i'd decide for myself, checked the car over and it hasn't had any problems really.here's some pictures as it was when i bought the carpretty much standard, apart from; livesports front bumper, sideskirts, and rear lip, cat back exhaust, 17" alloys which were smart but far too big and did not suit the car, in my opiniontook it to crailgot it on the rollers as soon as possible, it made 133.5 at the fly, i was very happy with that resultWhen i got back from crail, found myself a nice set of "JDM" rims white 14" wedsports from my friends V and stripped the interior fully, no doorcards/rooflining/backseats/carpet all plastiv trim asides from the dashAfter treating myself to these rims and tyres i decided that to compliment them it had to be slammed, so i got a set of BC racing coilovers which are fantasticthe cars stance was now mean as anythingas the bumper was so low and it had a few cracks these worsened with use as obviously ruining it going over speedbumps was inevitablein october during massive floods i drove through a puddle at about 25mph as i did slow down, knowing it would be a bad one and the kit completely burst, i was very frustrated as i had just bought a new set of wheels and had just spent most of my months pay on them and a few other perfomance bits and pieces, so had none to buy a bumpercable ties saved my bumper and made it last a few more months whilst i found a bumper, i got a standard bumper with an oem splitter 2nd hand which had a few scuffs and some mismatch primer/paint, but a good deal all the same,over the winter i kept the livesports kit on and it got progressively worseDrivers side seat has been swapped for a Bride fixed bucket out of a friends jdm ITR pics soonfinally intercooler and exhaust parts arrived, intercooler to ages, coming from china, bumper has been cut and im away to pick the car up from the garage as all new parts have all just been fitted, new mods includeHdi front mounted intercoolerj performance manifold and decatcustom straight systemairfilter relocated to front bumpercheapy bovwill update with more pictures soonDuncan_Glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan_Glanza Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 whats the size of those bud and the et?15" by 8" et35 i thinkcannot lower my car further due to these ace wheels though i have spacers aswell which means they stick out of the arches, hence any lower if it bottoms out it would scar the tyres Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jae-Glanza Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Those wheels with those tyres at that height. looks immense.where did you get your spacers from? My glanza v is crying out for some! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan_Glanza Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 cheers ;) spacers were on the car when i bought itquick update, wont be driving the V for a whilie as the rad is leaking, when it was taken off to fit bits and pieces fan housing has become slightly warped and puncturued the radiator, not massively bad, it is still driveable just have to check engine temp and levels twice daily just to make sure its alright, but will be a week or so till its running properly again.unsure whether to go for an uprated rad or not anybody using peformance rads? difference from standard, in price and quality?cheersDuncan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
