The Toffinator Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Well the time had come for me to upgrade from the old N/A To my new V, This sort of happened even though i was SKINT, as micky boy let me know he was mabye selling his V... So yeh cue a quick phone call and i arranged a viewing! I could bore you with the details but credit to micky its an awesome car, after first sight i was eager to get it, But after a long drive out i HAD to have it Bought it last saturday, washed it twice, and basically enjoyed it since then. Few modifications have been carried out so far, with more to come when i claw some money back Heres the first drive out pics, and when i got it home of the interior, before i swapped in the N/A`s interior, Notice the optional mats, Cupholders and airbag.I then gave it a clean, swapped in my recaros, old red mats (To protect the optional ones) Gearknob, Leather gaiters, and a few other bits.Also took a few outside pics, paintwork is flawless and i havent even touched it yet! Notice the wind deflectors:DAlso took a few snaps of the underneath, to show just how clean this thing is!!After a few days of driving it about, i got a bit fed up of hitting fuel cut, so fitted my Adjustable acuator courtesy of micky boy.Engine bay shots as well, Still havent cleaned it but it also shows the cleanliness!Its set to just under 0.6 bar, but it still creeps right upto 1. bar and fuel cutting which is sort of ruining the expierence, so im looking for a Plug & Play for it...Heres the current speclist:1999 Glanza VOptional Wind DeflectorsOptional CupholdersOptional mat kitOptional window tintsUnknown JDM rear strut braceHKS Silent HiPower catback Fully HeatwrappedJperformance DecatUnknown Stainless Braced manifoldCustom filter relocationToyTuning ActuatorTanabe shocks and springsD1Spec Grounding KitDirenza 15x7 WheelsJbl Rear speakersTrd Duracon GearknobCustom leather gear and handbrake gaiterEvo 7 GSR Recaros On custom railsCarbon wrapped interior plasticsApexi Boost GaugeForge Recirculating Dump ValvePioneer Dvd player/Sound systemUniroyal RainSport 2sFew more things i have forgot about, But yeh its a lovely car!TT Edited March 9, 2014 by The Toffinator Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Toffinator Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Mate honestly the first time i had stopped, set off and a lamb ran straight into my path, Bumped off and rolled over before running off. Felt proper bad:(Second was the same but i didnt stop, crawled along, then it jumped out. Same thing, rolled over and ran off. hit this one faster and it scared me Never damaged the car either times, didnt even mark it and the sheep were okay.
