Keirz's Glanza V A.k.a Steve-v

[keirz]

hello all. thought i would start a new thread for my new motor.

its an N reg silver glanza V with 55000 miles on the clock. its a true minter and i honestly cant believe i finally own this car!!

it has the front and rear optional lips, toyota wind deflectors, toyota mats, cup holders. still has all the jap stickers ie parking permits, mot disks and also the flair.

i had a few parts to fit when it arrived................

firstly my alloys, minus the green lip!

then my zep c pillar brace and g reddy rear strut brace.......

i then got to work on cleaning the engine up a little....

the car is already lowered 30mm on cobra springs (not for long though!) coilovers on the way soon. sits quite low though as demonstrated by my second favorate hobby, beer!

the car is currently in the hands of a company called mint car enhancments. where its getting a toad full loaded c5 compact alarm and immobilser, remote central locking and also my HKS turbo timer fitted. im picking it back up tommorow.

n/a is now sold to my brother too.

i have big plans for this car and im sure it will cost me big money too, but it makes me smile so its fully worth it

all comments welcome, thanks for looking ;)

i usually hate glanzas but i find this one really really apealing lol...i like it...alot in fact...lool take care of it matey

[Guest Enzo]

lol thats minted, i know the fealing of what its like picking up a new glanza, its mintedb !!

what are your plans man?

[gaz]

Thats nice, apart from the exhaust i say dont change the exterior at all!

Nice engine work mate.. i thought id comment on that because i know how annoying they can be to clean.

[Idrees]

Thats a beauty, I don't think anybody would guess its a 1996 car by looking at them photos!

Nice buy man, good luck with her ;)

[SiCaln]

thats a great buy mate nice find

[Sparky]

Looks amazing ;)

So what did you put on the wheels to get the green lip effect I fancy doing it to mine but blue obviously

[keirz]

thanks.

think im gonna leave outside as it is but maybe have a very very light tint done. the money is gonna be spent on handaling and brake upgrades first. i fancy d2 coilovers, panhard rod, anti roll bars and anti lift kit. but first i think im gonna get 3g disks and some good pads. definatly gonna get catch tank, cooling panel and 3 point carbing front brace some time very soon. thats about it for phase 1 ie, preperation for power.

phase 2 which is reach 200bhp starts when insurance is a little cheaper. lol. long time away

i have plans for either a hks silent power or the 5zigen one, dont really want any loud exhaust noise though....

the rims was done with motor cycle rim tape. check ebay ;)

this car is immaculate. i really want people too see it to back up my statements, ive never seen a car this old like it. even the glanza wheels that were on it are unscratched!!

[Callan]

mate get a 5Zigen border max...i have one...mother of all systems and is rare too..

[Guest Enzo]

sound

if i were you instead of going for discs and pads, a bcs and braded lines would give you more of a difference to pedal feel

then arb

then antilift kit in that order

thats what i would do if i wad you man.

[Nick_p]

lovely nice clean example you got there, absolutely love it!

As for the exhaust if you dont want anything too loud silent hi-power is the one for you. i got one and think its sounds just right

[Raffi]

Wow

The car looks really great.

[Mikey Jay]

Minty McMint ;)

Looks great man, very nice Glanza indeedily

[StarletRick]

nice glanza, looks pretty tidy.

i LOVE the wheels ;)

[keirz]

thanks for the comments people.

@VTRick you crack me up ;) i love them too

[StarletRick]

;]

[keirz]

well, been busy fiddleing with the glanza again. turbo timer is now in

i also forced my brother to do my calipers ready for my 3g disks, mintex pad, braided lines and cusco bmcs which are currently being ordered.

cans of fosters are always in my photos, its like wheres wally. lol.

also have my boost gauge in, painted my rocker cover and fitted my front strut brace, and my hks actuater running at 0.8 bar. but my camera died so have no pics.

next after the brakes are coilovers, which i want asap as my car is wheelspining and hopping like mad on the current suspension. hopfully d2s, anti lift kit, trd engine mounts and engine torque damper will resolve this issue.

[Mikey Jay]

Awesome shorts ;)

[Starlet Nath]

Looking good dude

keep up the good work ;)

[Liam_D]

MJ those shorts are cool, proper surfer dude style. ;)

[Idrees]

Nice work mate, what colour is the cam cover?

Car looks amazing with those rims, I just had to say that again! You keeping the amber front lenses?

[Starlet_GT3582R]

Looking forward to some more pics and the plans sound good
