Last winter i used to drive every week to belgium Antwerpen for some reasons and well... i needed some better lights because we all know , the standerd glanza lights are terrible.
I also put in a sort of intake because my filter is still at the OEM place.

I bought a wideband because wel... because of the engine trouble i wanted to see what the fueling was while on the road and well it looks cool haha

Then i got saving for the engine problem but i couldn't sit still so i painted my brakes red.
Wanted to paint them blue put they ran out and i had to paint them , not dissapointed at the end.

Still going with a bad engine i went on a few small holidays and went back to Belgium but this time to the ghost town Doel.
I was amazed about the whole thing but man you can make some badass photo's.

bought a engine dress up kit of JDM EP in blue

I knew the best plan was to swap the engine because i need the car on a day to day basis and had to do the swap in 1-2 days.
so i bought a new clutch for when the ''new'' engine is coming in.

I got my hands on a rebuild engine and picked it up with the van of work.
i dont have any pics of the transport mission sadly.

Then.... almost 7 months later and around 12.000Km later with a bad engine the time has come to swap the engine.
i am amazed that i survived that amount of Km's. it barly started and on cold it was running on 3 cil.

the pics of the swap

I can only say thanks for the great comments!! It really means alot!

The starlet world is very small here so most of the parts come from japan or the uk.

A few dont fit, cant get a tool on them but im not fitting them all so no worries.

Fantastic looking car great choice of mods :)

Thanks mate!

If only it stops breaking parts....

Want to move forward but every time something gets broken....

Enlighten Me? Which you struggling with?

Ill PM you :)

So changed the gearbox last friday and fitted a small active subwoofer under the passenger seat

Got now a normal EU EP91 gearbox as its very hard to find a normal Glanza gearbox and as i dont have the money for a LSD box (550-650euro) this is the best option.

Audio sounds really good! Nothing to crazy and it gives some nice bass.

B2EDC1AF-8B90-4E98-80E5-ED52B16DB7F1_zps

Then... and i gotta say this : I have the best girlfriend in the world.
She asked me when we gonna book a weekend to the Nurburgring!!
So we booked a trip on 24e march till 27 march but as you all know.
When you wanna go somewhere with your Glanza , it allways breaks down.
So i had to buy a new catback system and new Cv boots....
And ''new'' shift cables with a new gearselector.
My old one had these on, is this normale or do i have a short shifter??
