Dizzy Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Hey guys, not well known on here, but with summer looming I've decided to start a build thread on here. Got a lot of work planned for it over the next couple months Future plans are to have it fully Varis kitted as its my favorite style, and basically replace everything else with OEM toyota parts and clean it all up. My aim is to have it looking like a showroom spec, well maintained varis kitted glanza. Power not being my main priority How it StandsAnd side on..

Nope, probably going to get a new TD04 WEPR one to be honest, run it at 1bar and then see about a forged engine. Wont be going as powerful as yours lol looks sweet, biased towards a black v. Cheers dude I love red ones, but can never find any when i want another glanza Blacks my 2nd best tho ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dizzy Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Bit of an update so far First of the summer weather was getting it all messy :/ So got a friend of mine to valet it for me haha, came up well again So now it was all clean, and its MOT and TAX is due the end of this month So whilst getting it ready for the MOT, a few niggles had to be sorted. It needed new brakes on the back, a track rod was severely out AND seized annoyingly so couldn't be tracked properly, and well overdue an oil change. I already bought two new track rods, but needed everything else.So I PM's Idrees @ ID Workz to sort out some items to service it, and give it a general sort out. OrderingOE Spec - Rear Brake DiscsOE Spec - Rear Brake PadsNGK Iridium Spark PlugsMagnetic Sump Plug 4E-FTEOE Genuine - Oil FilterOE Spec - Fuel FilterOE Genuine - Toyota Red CoolanID-Workz Half Size Radiator Fitting Kit Castrol Edge 5W40 Fully Synthetic Engine OilPower Steering BeltEBC Turbo Groove Front DiscsEBC Yellow Stuff Front Pads HEL Braided Brake LinesSo hopefully this would get it up and running ok On the road with Redz11 in his EP82 to go and collect our bits Pit stop haha Lee loves keeping his car clean So then we arrived Really, really nice group of lads there. Cant recommend them enough! Really helpfull too. Also decided after my first conversation with idree's to pick up:Used Blitz Rep FMIC (Always handy to have a spare right?)6 Paddle ClutchVaris Front Bumper (I was torn between this and a cruise, I know the varis is getting mega popular but its the one I liked most and not to bothered about being individual)Jam EyelidsAnd after seeing brand new headlights on the white glanza, I bought some of those too They made it look so much cleaner!!Lee bought a TOM's bumper for his 82, and after a bit of fun trying to fit everything in, it was IMPOSSIBLE to fit two front bumpers in But Lee is having it sent on, so we journeyed home with Lee's car full of parts for my glanza With the seat all of the way forward, and im not the smallest guy! the ride home was... not so comfortable..Got to lee's, and decided to pick my car up on the way and head back to mine, but first, we decided to annoy a few people by spending over 20 minutes in the jetwash in tesco haha :/Bumper and brows Lee's expert mock up of how it looks together hahaHeadlight Comparison: So!Now to get all this stuff fitted, get the bumper in for spraying, and that will be it for a little while hopefully I know everybody says that haha but I'll be happy when its running/driving nicely and looking a little diff.

Dizzy Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 22nd April - FittingA bizarre thing happend this morning. Went to tesco to buy some munch and drinks for fitting the parts, and my driveshaft started making a quite noise. By the time i got home (5 min drive) it sounded like somebody having a drum n bass party on my wheel every time i let off the accelerator. WTF!Went to inspect it, driveshaft was a good 2" out! :/ So went to take the wheel off... all 4 nuts were loose? Wheels hadnt been touched in 4 months since i spaced them 5mm. The damn crappy alloy lugs that were on, had sheered their way down the studs fucking them up on their way :/ So the wheel came away from the hub, and the shaft came lose? Pushed it back in, fitted 4 spare lugs and studs and voila, noise gone. New item on list = decent lug nuts.Started to fit the parts I've acquired yesterday and today. Starlets are a ballache for seized bolts and just generally being a shit!!First things first, my new decal ;) hahaUp she goes, lifting the front end for:New discs and pads, new track rods and ends, drop oil, change oil filter and spark plugs and braided lines.The fuel filter didn't fit i bought the bracket just didnt line up at all, and the line in the bottom didnt match the thread, succksss. And trying to fit the braided lines, even my 10mm brake pipe spanner looked as though it was going to snap the brake pipes!! Couldnt be assed with having snaped pipes on my list of things to fix, so going to ask the garage to do them same time as my clutch (yes, i cant be assed fitting that either. :/ ) So... so far.. she was being an asshole.Nevertheless me and my brother fitted the new discs and pads, magnetic sump plug, filter, spark plugs, etc etc etc.Test fitted the varis front and jam eyelids, surprisingly easy to fit :/ expected a load of hassle.Started to polish up the old intercooler for when the new front end, headlights etc are fitted to make it prettier (still pretty bad, but better atleast..)My engine bay is full of crappy red sprayed parts, which Im not a fan off :/ so started swapping them over fo polished pipes instead.Going to respray and desticker the strut next, removed the poorly painted old top mount bracket, and going to matte black the rocker cover. Slow, but steady progress so far.The 6 paddle being a tempremental bitch, I thought I'd let a garage tackle this :/ Not dropping a box in the street haha The rear discs, they were SCREWED! I hate having ABS so much more money went for OEM brakes on the back.And the new:So all done for now!Get the bumper and lids of for spraying, hopefully fit them this weekend. Get the tracking done, tax and MOT it. Get the rays back from refurbers, tyre them up and fit them too How she stands right now Thanks for following so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
