dzign Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hi,Had the car for 18months now and never did a build thread, so here we go This is my 2nd Glanza, as I regretfully sold my first one lol.Spec list when I bought herCT9b running 0.8bar (Was hitting fuel cut when tonkering along at 70)Autobahn decatUnknown full system 4inch exitUnknown airfilterStandard maniStandard front strutMagnecor leads15inch Team dynamic alloys (I believe)Standard shocks + uprated springsAftermarket reclining seatsTinted windowsClear indicatorsOEM Duck spoilerLaguna front splitterTIM turbo gaugeHKS turbo timerSigma alarmWas bought in a quite a bad way, paintwork was dull, interior was bad (boot carpet was full of grim and oil, dusty and generally interior was just minging lol)Other than that, I saw her potential....so first thing was to give her a service and clean her up. Engine bay was first, was grimey and missing the top mount cover. Before and after pics.The exterior was washed, clay and waxed.This was the car after 2-3 months of ownership and just enjoying being in a Glanza again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dzign Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Further updates over the year, picking up bits and bobs along the way....Dave Burwash maniHKS Actuator (Set just under fuel cut)OEM 3 Point rear strutRX7 TMIC + Silicone pipes. (Polished to a mirror finish!)HKS mushroom filterOrange indicatorsReplaced the aftermarket seats with GT seats on modded rails to fit the Glanza.Removed AirconRemoved tintsRemoved rear manky carpet and rear sound proofingCar was looking alot neater and cleaner inside and out, and alot nicer to drive. Even the Akita was enjoying the ride! Unfortunately you can see the dash was drilled to put the boost gauge in by the previous owner, i've not yet found a solution to 'fix' this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dzign Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Looks tidy mate! Needs lowering at the rear though dude.Cheers matey! Its not THAT bad infact, just the drive way slopes and made the car sit at a weird angle. Though it does still need lowering! Thanks for reminding me though I forgot to add the suspension mods as well, its currently running standard shocks and uprated springs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dzign Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Looks proper clean mate!Thanks bud! Unfortunately it looks cleaner in the pics than irl. There are alot of scratches and stone chips in the bonnet and front bumper, also a couple of annoying dings. Hopefully though I do have a respray on the cards in the near future so this should fix it all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dzign Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Cheers guys for the comments! Further updates taken place since last 6 months.JAM ECU (Still running 0.8bar, but runs so sweet now!!)RW Development Relocation kit Powder coated red rocker coverRocker breatherBaileys BOVLuke's Carbon effect dial surroundWatanabe RS8's 14's wrapped in Falken ZE912'sNGK heatrange 7 sparksNew rear discs + pads New front & rear wheel bearingsNumerous oil changes + oil filter changesGlanza stickers removed from side and rear.Not taken any pics of the car recently, but thats the stage she's at now.Pics of the wheels, I did a DIY refurb to dark grey. But its already starting to peel. So will be professionally refurbed soon hopefully.Amazing piece of kit! And highly recommended buy from RW developments. Makes an amazing noise now when you give it some The only downside is the car has done LOTS of miles, close to 130-135k miles. But still drives really well, I can get quite easily get 210-230miles for £25 of petrol, that's including occasional blasts **Touchwood** its been running great so far.So I'm not sure what to do....possible engine rebuild? Or replacement engine with one ALOT lower miles then start adding more power from there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
