damian Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 hiya, well i have had my glanza for about 3 weeks so far. since buying it I've spent a little trying to make sure everything is going to be fine engine wise. as the car came with no history and a mileage of 45,000 miles. naughty i no but with the look over by a mechanic and the bloke offered to put it on a ramp so we could have a look under neith and was tidy all the way through, so thought to buy it. well trade in my old car for it which was above the value of this one. so to build up the value, i asked for 2nd hand tein coilovers, some white jdm alloys, boost gauge, apexi induction kit, hks exhaust system and some buckets. this was to be all fitted for me aswell. well here's the pics from when i 1st looked at it and now.and just bought these for it, hopefully will go in when I've got round to cleaning themcomments welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shelly_star Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hello and welcome to UKSC, lovely glanza Liking it sitting like a 4x4 hehe, i think i will chuck the standard springs idea that i had Recaro seats!! lucky! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
damian Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 cheers for the comments! and big welcome! the person i got the car from as well as importing he's a breakers and insurance specialist. http://www.japanmotors.biz/ thats where i bought my car from and has a few glanza's and plenty of parts etc. my car i traded is the yellow punto. i think i got a good deal yes they are evo 7 seats. I've loved them ever since i saw them even when i had a corsa c. thought i would wait for the right car to get some. the only trouble is im going to be a little money saving / fatel if in a accident. and get them welded in rather than spending fortunes on reacro/bride etc frames. just one risk im going to take.if theres and links or pics of the other ep91 with the recaro's in, i would love to see. damian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi DamianA very warm welcome to UK Starlet Club You've come to the right place for all things Starlet related.You'll also be sure to make some new friends here bro.Congrats on being a new owner of V Power ;) Just want to say that you have done a very nice job adding the Teins and Rims to your Glanza, she looks spot on now and I bet she handles well too.Also well done on getting the Evo 7 Recaros. I have the exact same seats altho mine are allegedly out of an Evo 8 Mine have the Evo frames modified to fit the EP91, they could do with a good re-weld but they are holding fine at the minute and sturdy.Here is when I first got the seats in, they made an excellent difference to my cars styling as well as driving benefits. They are so worth getting although I have seen a few other people owning them too, but in this day and age who cares long as you like em and they do their job!Evo Seats After InstallationHere are the latest pics of my ride (scroll down) with more to come in time.Latest PicsLatest Pics 2I hope that you enjoy the site and feel free to become a part of things here, you're very welcome.Take care on the road and enjoy your car to the max!!!J o z Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey Jay Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Shameless advertising by Joz there Looking forward to seeing those Evo 7 seats fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yep Just make sure whoever is going to do the job to be as accurate as possible with the position of the brackets and make the welds as strong as they can, also if you are using other metal plates as brackets, make sure to use thicker metal, too thin and they will be weaker and more prone to the weld breaking. I didnt do the weld job myself but I have seen what mine looks like. You need to grind off the old brackets and reposition/weld them to suit the ep91 seat bolt positions. You dont have to grind of all of the brackets tho, only the ones that dont fit. if in doubt, get talking to a welder for his/her opinion.As for the rear bench, I have it too Have no time to get it sorted so it'll have to wait. Would be cool to see yours done tho.All the best!J o z Quote Link to post Share on other sites

damian Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 beautiful motor, nice choice of wheels too mateoh and i got mine from him too!hes a top bloke. going to get a front splitter off him aswell. so just waiting. yeh well the welder is coming tuesday so hopefully he should have it all sorted for me! I've known him for a while, he fitted some exhausts and sorted some tricky wheels out for me in the past. I've recomened him to alot of me mates aswell. so i think he now owes me haha! yeh will get some pics up if sorted. rear bench maybe at a later date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
damian Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 well the bloke came round at 9.30 and left at 11. with the recaro's in. he said the old seats welds were crap and could snap off the rails instead of unwelding them. but he asured me its the best he can do and 100times better than what was done before.

WallaceGlanza Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Nice, i hope to get myself some nice recaro seats at some point too. Much better than the other seats that were in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
