Rage. Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) S'happening.I picked my Toyota Starlet Glanza V up last weekend, after wanting something small, jap & quick.I started browsing Pistonheads, and found a mint example of one...rang up the chap, drove a 12 hour round trip, viewed it, liked it & drove it home in torrential snow. Baller.Its a 97' Black Glanza V that was imported in 2007' with roughly 75k on the clock. It has the full Recaro interior and LSD, and had a few 'tasteful' modifications fitted curtsy of the previous owner....Bleed Valve? Two pence siliconed in place of the recirc valve? Scotch lock heaven? ....Things are about to change big style.After only picking the car up Saturday, i was itching to start tinkering, so after browsing the forum classifieds, i contacted Socks about a few goodies, and drove up Monday evening to go pick them up.Japspeed full exhaust system, Gizmo boost controller, HKS FCD, Civic alloy rad, Mounting kit, slimline fan and Bailey dump valve.Here's a few pictures of how the car stands today, making way for a big changes and improvements. One being a BIG snail looking item under the bonnet that goes wwwsssshhhhhhhhhhhhh.let me know what you think!Thanks, Ross. Edited February 12, 2012 by Rage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rage. Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Cheers mate, Me a group of my mates have just booked to go to the Nurburgring the end of June, so progress this side of there will be fairly slow. However, this side of then i should be looking at getting my Coilovers & FMIC, aswell as gathering the rest of my bits to compliment my TD04 turbo & TD05 exhaust housing conversion i picked up earlier this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rage. Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Cheers mate, This weekend ill be fitting my Buddyclub coilovers, fitting my new wheels/tyres & wiring up the controller, so abit more progress! I've got to start saving for the Nurburgring as were off in June, so progress here after will be quite slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rage. Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey, I've'e managed to get quite abit done this weekend, so im chuffed!I picked up my Buddyclub D2 coilovers, managed to get them setup and fitted, however in the process fucked the tracking up mega, which meant the next thing to do was to pull it up on the ramp and sort that out.Ive had some new wheels, im unsure of the make but had a good deal as i initally ran 16's and wanted 15's...Think they look pretty well on the car, however ill be painting the centers black at some point soon.Ive wired and set up the Gizzmo electronic boost controller, and mounted that and my Blitz turbo timer within carbon neatly in place of my cupholders and coin tray...Removed the rear wiper and finally gave it a well deserved clean and polish!...Not bad for a weekends work Ross.
