Dale's Hybrid Glanza Build Thread


Recommended Posts

First of all i wanna apologise for how long its took to actually getting a build thread up and running lol

Been on here a while but just been really busy with other things as well.

Anyway here goes,

Had a pretty mental clio before, some of you may have seen the pics i put up a while back. Anyway i decided it was time for a change and i really fancied something turbo'd.. thought about a glanza but i kept being put off by how old they were.. viewed a few videos on youtube with glanza's of all specs and i never looked back really wanted my own.

Managed to get a a part x with a lad that wanted my clio and i wanted the glanza and he gave me a cheeky £2800 my way

It already had a few minor mods but standard engine bar a filter. Much to my liking it was a decent specced model with the footwell illumination and the key illumination amonst other OEM goodies,

The lad really didnt look after it and it was coverd in scratches and marks and just generally tatty all round.

Picking it up:

I wasnt really keen on how it looked standard and the power wasnt great going from a 200bhp track spec clio.. so spent some of the money i got from the lad on visual upgrades and a few performance choice mods for now

Some paintwork sorted out

Rota slipstreams with toyo T1r's

J-performance FMIC- what a biatch to fit!

Monster Motorsport Air Filter Relocation

Carbon Fibre Bonnet

Got the roof and mirrors painted piano black

Ended up busting a hole in the radiator accidently so sourced a new radiator too

Added a few choice stickers and some extra speakers to fit into the door pods.

Didnt like the look of the OEM front lip so got a laguna splitter instead and sold the lip to David Ashton

Decided to take the car off the road over the winter and start a build for more power and basicly build the car i wanted in the first place. Unfortunatly the unit that me and my mates had the lease ran out and i had to find a new home for all my cars and stuff.

Not ideal but it was the only option= council garages :p got a few of them for all my stuff.

The cars new home:

Great set up pal lover the rocker how much was it to get powder coated and how does it cope with the heat?

Cheers mate, Rocker cover was £40 to powder coat simply because they have to remove every last trace of oil from the inside and the outside of the cover as it contaminates the paint ^_^

Should stand up to heat no problem but it hasnt been started yet as its all not built up
