Zac's White Glanza V - :P


Recommended Posts

Whos doing the Alignment mate? Should bring it to me you get discount lol. Also its best to set them up the way you want them (ride height, stiffness) before you get the alignment done because then they can set it up to the way its gonna be on the road. Rather than you fiddling with it after because that could have a effect on the way it drive if you know what i mean.

What are you wanting from the alignment set-up? Full on track/fast road set-up or just standard settings? I can steal the standard set-up from the works alignment booth but i wont be able to get it until tuesday.

Im wanting like a fast road set-up mate, if you wasnt that far away i would of come to yourself mate, its a company called All-Car Tyres in huddersfield, Idrees said there good so ill just go there :wub:

Im thinking of dropping it a little more but not alot would this effect it a lot??

Also is the bottom mounting of the coilovers the only way to lower the car, can you not do anything with the spring??

Thanks lads, Zac

Well at our place we do -1 degree from Standard for our fast road set-up as this is enough to notice a difference but minimises the tyre wear. Never heard of them so i dunno what alignment machine they have, make sure you get some pics for us mate lol. Ask them wheather they have the proper Toyota settings for the Glanza as they must be the correct settings otherwise its pointless doing it.

Its better to drop it before getting it aligned mate, because alignment is sensitive stuff so a little thing can have a big effect.

Im sure thats the only way buddy but im not 100% on the Meisters!!

If you need anything else mate just ask im a alignment geek :wub:

Cheers liam for that, ive just lowerd in a tiny bit more on the front as im happy with the rear. i think ill b more or less happy with the ride height now, its just the stiffness i may want to slightly change at a later date :/

Idrees has his glanzas set up by the same company so im guessing they may have the standard setting, idrees can you shed some light please mate??

Also a few pictures of the bad boys fitted :)

Yeah thanks matey, they usually charge £65 but because they usually do the backs and front and the glanzas only have adjustable top mounts on the front my dad said as i joke ahhh so we get it cheaper and he said ok £45 lol so was happy with that ;)

Thanks again liam mate, he was just going to put it to standard setting but i told him i wanted -1 degree like you said :p

£45 is their standard price mate, he's done 3 of my cars for that price and my brothers Type R too. And yeah he is the best worker there, the other guys only know how to change a tyre. :p

The car does look awesome with the bumper now though, it has to be said. Join the spoiler group buy now! ;)

Little update ive managed to do before the manchester meet!!

Well after having to change the cambelt i decieded while it was off the road get a few things sorted. Varis Bumper Sprayed up and get a few thing powdercoated in the bay.

Ive also got the RSR Panhard Rod fitted and as you can see in the pics below the Engine Torque Damper on aswell looking Fresh!! haha

While doing the cambelt and tensioners i thought i may aswell do the water pump while i was at it so done that aswell, i wanted to do the oil pump but funds was low with all the bits getting done :harhar:

I have also done a oil change on the car with a new K&N Oil Filter and fitted my Magnetic Sump Plug and also changed the Fuel Filter while i was at it.

Varis will be fitted tommorrow if i recieve my new PCV Valve from Enzo and the car should be up and running again ;)

Bay Before :rtfm:
