bradp94 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Im brad im 18 and im an auto electrician. Always wanted a glanza and with the help of my mate "nest" found a tidy one up in oxford.Bodywork was mint when i first picked it up and came with loads of history, jap and UK. The wheels were a bit shabby so they were the first thing to go. It was not heavily modified when i first got it just the usual cheap front mount, hks blow off valve, downpipe and rear exhaust system. Its running a greddy boost controller and turbo timer but in my opinion there just gimics. So long story short its not high performance as of yet.this is how she looked after i had changed the wheels, done a deal with my mate "nest" , swapped the enkei's for his SSR's providing i got then shotblasted and power coated for him.Got straight to work in ripping out the nasty rear interior!Heres how it looked straight after, needed a clean. Loving the OEM strut.After i hoovered and polished all the rearBought a cheapy dished wheel to replace the gash standard oneThe wheel fitted, along with a neat little gear knob i got of ebay cheap. ripped the gaitor off and polished the lever up too.Yet again another ebay special!Tinted my front fogs, cheap easy mod which i think looks donHow she sat before i was kindly donated a set of tein coiloversThe engine bay, tidy but it is not practical, oil cooler on top of the engine? and a weird catch can layout,the intercooler pipes are run in a weird way to, need sortin! need big changes here and need to move the battery to the boot, relocate the air filter, and ditch the air con! want a civic rad too!Progress so far, got more pics to upload soon of my bucket seats and harnesses and some goodies that will be gettin strapped on in the new year ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bradp94 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Here's a few more little updates, here's a pic of the bay all tidied up now And I finally got round to cutting out the number plate slot in my bumper!Got the rear coilovers all set up sweet but need the fronts rebuilt before I can put them on here's how the back sits nowHere's the beauty's to go on the front! I'm going to make full use of the camber adjustment! Bought myself a cheap manifold too, picked it up dirt cheap as it was cracked I then welded it all up so it's all good to go on! The inside looks a bit messy, need to get a dremmel inside to smooth it out for better gas flow before it goes onAnd here's how it stands at this moment in time, got few more updates to come within the next few weeks, nothing major as still skint from Christmas!
