Finally Got a GlanzaV

[Gaz's GlanzaV]

I finally got a GlanzaV about 3 months ago, after about a year and a half looking for one and learning all about these little flyers. I got it from 200bhp cars in Newcastle, personal import business, turns out i dont think i could have bought a better 1996 example, fresh import, had only been in the uk for about 3 weeks.. Some of you might have seen this on e-bay ..

Bought with mods on - HKS Super Drager Exhaust(Full System) , HKS Super flow induction kit, Twin plated clutch, 15" Rays alloys, Blitz boost gauge, Jam Racing ECU, MOMO steering wheel, Recaro seat with sabelt harness`s ..

Mods Done - HKS turbo timer, RS*R Down springs, TRD white gear knob, TRD AND TOM`s Badges, Soon to fit HKS bov V2

Hope You Guys and Gals like

[Gaz's GlanzaV]

Thanks guys and gal ! , any future mods, i`m looking to get a front mounted intercooler, and exhaust manifolds, and other bits and bobs, but might have to hold off for now

[Idrees]

Very nice, I'm liking that

[Sparky]

Yea looks pretty different to me with the Black and chrome up against the white paint work ;)

What drivers seat does it have???

Enjoy your stay at UKSC

[Gaz's GlanzaV]

Its got a RECARO drivers seat, thats all you need for the driver i think, but was considering a change on the passenger one, just to complete the front half of the car, i`ve got a few seats in mind .....

[joe-ep91]

Well nice mate. What are the rsr springs like mate. Im thinking of getting some for mine.

Joe.

[riko666]

don't bother, they're too soft

[Guest Enzo]

lol

it depends, i rate them highly, the spring rates are close to standard but the ride hight is lower, i ran a set on my old glanza and they were pretty effective compared to coilovers,

id recomend them but some people have comented that they make the arse end sit too high

[Gaz's GlanzaV]

Dont listen to anybody else telling you about rsr springs... i`ve got the RSR Down springs, Dont go for the race ones, the down springs are progressive springs, they are a little soft when driving normaly, but are pretty good when you want to go hard, plus, just give you that bit more confidence when on the good old scottish B roads

Cheers for the advice. Shame I live near London!

[Gaz's GlanzaV]

I think i`m neeeding a well earned update on this i think, so here goes.............

Since my last post i have got

mild steel manifolds fitted and de-cat

HKS Actuator

C`s Quickshift

Uprated the dampers with Koni`s with RS-R springs

Rear strut brace fitted

Carbing cooling panel

I`ve got a Forge BOV waiting to be fitted

And timing belt done about 20 miles ago

+ generaly tided the car up here and there

Pic to go with it ................

Done !

[Chicco]

Nice car you have there mate. Why your rear beam looks like its rusting i dont know! the car looks clean all round tho and that radiator says to me it's been on there for a looong time... perhaps never had any front end troubles?

where was the rear brace from?

[WallaceGlanza]

Looking good mate, have you got a splitter on your splitter?! ;)

How is the handling with the koni shocks and rsr springs, is it bouncy or does it take bumps well?

[Gaz's GlanzaV]

The car is pretty clean, i`m the first uk owner of the car since i got it from Andy at 200bhp cars about a year and a half ago.

The car has had no front end damage at all

The strut brace i got from JDM Performance, the handling mods are more managable and comfortable to live with than coilovers i think..

The front splitter is from a Seat cupra-R

[Galliano]

One of my all time fave glanzas this!

Really love it, Makes me want to fit a Cupra lip to the Paseo

[Gaz's GlanzaV]

I did get a front mount a while ago from HDI, but i did`nt like it at all ! I`ve seen a few guys on here with some success but for me it did`nt fit well, as i found out i clashed with the front fog lights, so which in turn made it a bit of a b*****d to put the bumper back on. The kit was supposed to fit with the A/C but it was a bit of a struggle, with things being a bit tight for space and also having the A/C fan in the way. In short i personally did`nt like it so it had to go for sale, along with my HKS SSQV2, because i had a mate fabricate the mounting cup for the BOV on the inlet pipe..

I dont think i`ll be spending a huge amount of money on the car a present, becuase i have a planned trip to Australia in October, so need to save the pennies
