Here is my third EP! Bought it on 23rd November from Glanza179 who has clearly looked after it well! This ones probably the cleanest of all the ones Ive had so far, a really good base not a spec of rust just really really tidy! Just needs an FTE swap now... so watch this space!

Spec (pinched off Jims advert!):

1997 Toyota Glanza S

Lowered 40mm on PI springs with KYB shocks

14" Rays wheels (currently fitted with 185/60 tyres, gonna be dropped down on new lower profiles hopefully!)

OEM mid spoiler (this may be getting removed, not a massive fan!)

OEM lips front and rear

Stainless exhaust

K&N panel filter with Glanza V intake manifold

Magnecor Ignition Leads

JD Tuning Towing eyes (rear one now removed)

JD Tuning Engine torque damper

IDWorks Cooling panel

Glanza V Front strut brace (bases painted in Vauxhall Arden Blue)

Grooved front discs

Plans for now are to keep it clean and tidy, and fit new tyres and see what it handles like then as the moon landing craft beasts that are on there aren't too brilliant! Especially the "Champiro Steel-Belts" on the rear LOL! If that fails I'll be after a set of 15s so I can fit 195/50 T1-Rs as this was what my SR was on with the same lowering springs and it handled superbly! Also some HIDs will be getting purchased soonish!

Then, if funds allow and I feel like doing it... and FTE swap but that wont be until near the end of next year if it does happen. And let me assure you if it does happen, I wont be settling for less than 200hp! I'll just build up a nicely specced forged engine and then TD04 it as well just for good measure. I want it to be an EK9 eater! :(

A few pics for you all then, not that you havent seen the car before!

On the M6 on the hour long drive home...

UPDATE

More pics... took the rear tow eye off A because I bent it towing a mate back from Birmingham and B it looks much smoother without!

De-cat is next on the list along with de-stickering all round! :) New tyres being ordered next week too, dropping the profile slightly so should sit a wee bit lower and handle better hopefully!

UPDATE - 6th Feb

In prep for going up A38 I decided to set about finally giving the car a good polish and wax... The results look immense :D but unfortunately my dogshit camera doesnt really do it justice, and the fact it was beginning to get fairly dark by the time I finished. In the flesh it looks pure EPIC! Anyway here's the pics...cheeky one of the GSXR thrown in as well :D
