Azerty's love story


Recommended Posts

So here is my glanza love story

October 2001 she arrived from Japan

DSC00401.jpg

Engine was fully standard, just had Blitz air filter and stainless exhaust box.

The car came with volks rays TE37 15' bronze wheels plus TRD coilovers :cool:

First mod has been news 3G brakediscs and Pagid fast road pads to help her in the slow down task.

then after 3 years studying around, asking question like "how much HP would add a BOV ?" lol

I learned quite a lot and decided I was ready to move for more power. I finaly found a full front cut with uprated parts.

CT12 hybrid Turbo, Stainless manifold and downpipe, Fuel regulator, LSD gearbox, TRD wiring, Blitzdualdrive BOV, FCD, SLD, FMIC, Electronic boost controler...

car has been fully debadged and resprayed with standard white color

Bumper has been modified to match my new FMIC

new transparent side indicators have been painted black to match headlight design

final touch after spray, oh yeah she's shiny !

so I went out for some new pics :

Then I have fited a new 'shorter' registration plate

back in those day we had no quartermile event. So I decided the car was ready for a Run session test, the only one she did (won all three Races against 4age 20valv GT, CT20 glanza and Ford Capri SR20DET, not bad hey ?)

Bonnet had some marks, so I decided to send it back to sprayer and use my black bonnet while it was resprayed. I wasn't happy with first plate location, so I moved it a bit on the right

So now you could think, I was happy enough? well, yes I was but unfortunatly I had access to this nice Turbo kit

So I just went for it, but this was quite bigger, a fuel regulator wasn't good enough... I bought some new 360 cc injectors and a brand new emanage ultimate

DSC00020.jpg

Clutch lasted 3 weeks lol, so well, I needed a new TRD clutch kit of course, plus few other bits

DSC00019.jpg

and here it is, she was fine tuned runing at 0.6 bar on low boost up to 1bar on some needed occasions :)

then I decided to work on the interrior. Sparco steeringwheel & buckets, 4 points sabelt harness, TRD ducaron gear knob and multipoint rollcage :cool:

I love watching your videos on Youtube! Nice to see you uploaded a build thread on here! :)

A friend of mine (who's also on here) is Mauritian and is always going on about how nice the country roads are over there, making me jealous haha! Lovely pics and the Glanza is a beast!
