DavidAshton Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Some of you may know last month this happened to my old Glanza, just coming upto 3 years of ownership, was truely gutted!Luckly it wasn't my fault so a nice payout followed! Only £50 less than I payed for the car 3 years ago was offered!Initially the idea was to get a fresh import and I was in talks with Enzo about getting one sourced, then this came up for sale!Only problem being the car was in Bournemouth and I was up north in Rotherham, anyway more pics were sent and I knew this was the one. Pics of it before I got it:Spec is pretty much TD04 with eManage Blue and all supporting mods (I would copy the spec list from the for sale thread but its gone?), so put a deposit on it, took a 5 hour train ride and a 5 hour drive back home to get it.Got the spec list now:Toad Sterling Thatcham Category 1 Alarm/ImmobilizerKenwood DPX-313Y CD Player w/ Bluetooth KitVibe 6x9 Speakers6k HID Lighting KitRS*R Performance Spring KitRota Auto X 15�Wheels w/ Yokohama Parada Spec II Tyres5zigen A Spec+ Exhaust SystemJperformance Front Mounted IntercoolerFront Strut BraceGreddy Rear Strut BraceK&N Air FilterForge Motorsport Blow Off ValveHKS Turbo TimerApexi Boost GaugeTD04L TurboMild Steel Manifold & DownpipeBraided Water & Oil LinesMagnecor KV85 Ignition LeadseManage Blue ECU255LPH Fuel PumpSARD Rising Rate Fuel Pressure RegulatorHelix AutoSports Ceramic Performance ClutchBlack Diamond Performance DiscsBlack Diamond Performance PadsHEL Braided Brake Lines w/ Toyota Dot 5.1 Brake FluidSlight emergency on the way home, the satnav goes dead and I dont have a clue where the hell I am or where I am going, phone is also dead, I have chargers for them both but the fag lighter isn't working. This had happened before in my silver one so i knew exactly what to check and thank fuck I was right, the plug for the fag lighter loom wasn't plugged in so a quick emergency repair and I was back on the way.No way I would have done the 239 miles left with no satnav!Service station photo on way homeNow this car really is immaculate, the bodywork is perfect, not a single scratch or dent on it, Mike who owned it kept a full history of everything that had been done with all reciepts and it drive so nice! I used to be a massive CT9 fan but to be fair TD04 is where its at. The difference in power delivery is immense, this car is only mapped to 0.8 bar and its so much quicker than my last car which was running 194 bhp, im thinking this is easily pushin 210 bhp. It feels so much tighter and fresh and off boost it drives so nice aswell.Anyway home safe and soundRemoved the rear stickers, decided im keeping this one sticker free unlike my last one!Then I went to fit my Rota HM3 advan copies which I took off the old car, actually prefered the Auto X's which i'd never been a fan of so the HM3's stayed off. Opinions?That's it so far. I have on order some new number plates without the blue GB bit down the side, a new starlet decal thats missing from the rear too. Fuck me stock seats are so uncomfy dont no how people drive with them anymore after having the recaro seat in the silver one. Luckly I picked up some Evo 4 Recaro's, I have the rail from the silver car for the drivers side and have a passenger side rail in the post so they will be fitted this weekend. I also have some new gauges I bought for the silver car but crash happened before I got chance to fit them so they are going in this. TRD short shifter, Rear arb for silver car are also going on this. The exhaust is also going to be altered so it fits the recess in the rear bumper correctly. I imagine that will be it for a while. I may look to get it mapped to a bar in future with my EBC from the silver car but im just going to enjoy it as it is for now!
