andyevo Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Hi everybody, this here is my 1997 Glanza V.It was in a pretty bad state when I purchased the car late last year. The drive home from Tauranga to Auckland was so sketchy, the suspension was buggered, tyres where shot and it was bucketing down with rain. It was missing the charcoal cannister and a bung in the firewall, so I was getting pretty toasted from the fumes.The cars has been pretty much parked up since as I slowly get parts. The short term plan is to get coilovers to fix the dodgy suspension, new exhaust, and new seats before I get it certified and road registed. Here in New Zealand if you modify your vehicle such as fitting adjustable suspension, removal of your airbag steering wheel, or fitting aftermarket seats etc, it will have to be certified before being legal to drive on our roads.

PaulStarletSR Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 get more pix up mate! by the way you dont need the charcoal filter Quote
andyevo Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 I found this whilst doing some maintenance PCV valve or spark plug? Quote
andyevo Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 get more pix up mate! by the way you dont need the charcoal filter Yep i'm working on it Photobucket is being an ass and wont show me some of my pictures. Quote
andyevo Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 Got some BC Golds When I installed them I rolled all four gaurds. If I was to do it again I would have of rolled them with the standard suspension on first, and not with the BC Golds on because the gaurd roller was to long to fit properly. I ended up using a soft hammer and a heat gun. Front could do with a bit more, but pretty happy with the results. Got some new rims, super happy Quote
maddox710 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Them wheels look nice man, get some more pictures up of the whole car Quote

andyevo Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 I got around to sanding and painting the bonnet scoop as had an ugly red and black crackled affect when I bought it.Before:Now: I fitted a Cusco adjustable panhard rod, a Whiteline front sway bar with new droplinks and replaced worn bushes. Bought some Toyo T1R's in 195x50 R15 and had them fitted. This is what it's looking like now. My carpet was full of holes and dirt so I ripped it out along with the back seats as I plan to fit bucket seats. Ordered a HKB boss kit from RHDJapan. I'm very happy with the service from these guys. The model of b osskit is OT48 if anyone was interested.... ...and fitted a Nardi steering wheel.... ...and a TRD gear knob. Thanks for looking Quote
