Glanza_man_sam Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) So I bought my first Glanza a few months ago off a user on here. I must say it is such a fun car to drive! Here's a little bit about the car when I bought it: Around 100k milesSun roof modelSet at 0.6 bar boost 10 PSIDepo boost gaugeTRD shocks and springsUltra Racing front and rear strut bracingWhiteline panhard rodH&R 20mm spacersIdworkz drilled and grooved rear discsHKS air filerSpeedvision actuatorCustom stainless steel exhaust (cat back)JPerformance FMIC with short route pipingPolished race spec rockerAir con removedEBC padsWolfrace wheels1 Recaro seatOEM Toyota wind deflectorsID Workz HRF SpatsID Workz Varis front bumperID Workz Cruise bonnet Thats pretty much everything Here's some photos the seller took - As soon as I bought the car I drove it home, gave it a service then stripped the interior out. Couldn't resist taking some cheeky photos ;) Some new wheels are definitely in need not keen on the wolfrace ones at all. I have already bought some fixed Corbeau bucket seats to put in. I had always planned to get the engine forged when I bought the car and didn't think I was going to get a bigger turbo anytime soon so I bought a JPerformance CT9 manifold to spruce up the ole engine bay however before I had time to put the new manifold in I decided to go ahead with a bigger turbo so as it sits my Glanza is now in Tuning Developments getting a stage 2 forge and a TD04 Hybrid mapped to 300BHP Here's a few photos' on the way to Tuning Developments If I get any updates on the progress I will be sure to post them on here! I saw some very nice Glanza's there when I was dropping mine off think most of them are on here So now the wait begins.. Thanks for looking,Sam Edited November 6, 2014 by Glanza_man_sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I went a viewed this before i brought mine about 1 - 2 months ago? Some asian lad selling it? Looks good now you've changed the wheels as they were awful, i didn't buy it as the rear quarter looked very suspect. Might be worth some investigation. Look forward seeing what you do to it.

Glanza_man_sam Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Update: Things are going fairly slow as far as progress with my Glanza goes, been in contact with TD and they're still waiting for shell bearings to arrive before any real progress can be made. Hoping to get her back a few weeks before Japfest, I've got some parts ready to fit as soon as she's back such as - Corbeau fixed bucket seats, Sabelt harnesses, small front number plate to stick on the side of the bumper and a couple of other little bits Can't wait to drive her again its been too long! Hopefully have some more updates soon!Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
