Critic Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) So welcome to my EP91 Glanza progress thread. I will be updating this thread with all my new modification's / updates on what I'm doing with the car etc..As I'm currently unemployed, modifications are quite slow right now, hopefully when I get a job sorted, I'll be able to buy new parts weekly and update this thread with new exciting modifications / plans. For this Glanza, I traveled from Newcaslte all the way down to Leeds, which took around 1hr 45mins.It was up for £2000, but ended up dropping him down to £1850 as it needed tax.It had 83k mileage and its around 86k now.The only modifications it had done to it was a HKS air filter, HKS exhaust and Enkei Wheels. The next day I give it a wash. As I hate high cars, getting it lowered was the first thing on my to do list.I scored some second hand Tein Coilovers for the price of £500. Looking a lot better now! After getting it lowered, I noticed my car had started to blow quite badly.Popped it up on the ramp and spotted some cracks as well as the flexi being totally fucked.Welded the cracks up for the time being until I sorted a system out for it.Micky boy sorted me a cracking deal on a EP82 custom system for £40. (Thanks again micky! )After some cutting / welding we got it sorted and its spot on! Before After The next thing I put on was a dumpvalve, got told by the seller it was a HKS.But to be honest I think its just one of them look a like ones, either way it does the job for now, so I'm happy with it. Next on the to do list.- Decat- Front mount intercooler The car as it stands right now. 14" Enkei Wheels Edited April 10, 2014 by Critic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Critic Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Small little update. Bought a new set of stickers which came today, Carbon fiber look. Also my Apexi turbo timer came today thanks to Hawwy. Some more pictures which I forgot to add. Still deciding if I should completely strip the back out or not.

Critic Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Small Update So today my friend got some time to help me with my new glanza stickers. After removing the original glanza sticker the glue which was left behind was a right pain in the arse to remove. We got our hands on some type of naughty fluid stuff off his boss, which worked the treat and took the glue off after 10mins. Now at this point I was liking the look of no sticker there and I was 50/50 on putting a new sticker back on.But in the end I decided to put the new stickers on. Applying the new sticker. Final product. So while we were there I also got my mate to wrap my scope in carbon fiber vinyl. While he was doing that, I removed the glanza v sticker off the boot. About 2 weeks ago I also removed the rear wiper, still trying to get a grommet sorted for it. Final product of the scope wrapped. What do you guys think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
