GlanzaCanada Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Got this 1997 Glanza V over a couple weeks ago, spent a bunch of time refreshing the paint with a clay bar and polish. With some searching I found the car has the LSD, which was an unexpected find!!The only thing I have done so far is a new set of wheels and rubber, 15x8 Konig flatout with 195/55/15 rubber.Next on the list is some coilovers, and recommendations? Need to do some basic maintenence, other then that the car is great, 123,000 kms. Edited January 23, 2015 by GlanzaCanada Quote Link to post Share on other sites

James Nothing major at this time, want to drop it, probably FMIC, and open up the exhaust to a 2.5 system. Just changed the oil, plugs, and coolant. I have BC's on my R34 skyline and they work great, might go with BC's for the Glanza also. That skyline in the background is a project car, belongs to a buddy of mine, old 1989 GTS-T drift car.

GlanzaCanada Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Parts list: -Front and Rear drilled/slotted rotors+braided lines-FMIC-BC Racing Coilovers-Aluminum Radiator+colder thermostat-Custom downpipe+2.5 exhaust My only issue with a majority of these parts is availability as I live in Canada and there really is no market for these cars. Anyone recommend a couple good places for me to source all these parts through? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BoostJunkie Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 nice V mate where abouts in canada are you from, v looks similar to one i saw b-pro auto in calgary had for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaCanada Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm over in the west coast, sourced this one myself from a dealer in Japan bro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaCanada Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Gave myself a project today, got rid of the stock intake system and went with a cold air intake approach...as cheap as possible. Using spare stock intake parts from the glanza and other cars, blue silicone hose from a blitz FMIC, gear clamps, PVC 90 degree elbow, and a knock off K&N cone filter...plus one zip tie for safety Cold Air Intake routed down beside the battery against the fan shroud. Tight fit, but doesn't rub on anything, sits nice against the fan shroud and doesn't get in the way of the fan blades for the radiator. One zip tie to keep it from rattling, but its so snug between everything that it really doesn't move. Bunch of gear clamps need some trimming of their excess. Just pokes out underneath, I will put the underbody liner back on once I finish the exhaust...if it needs some adjusting it should be easy. Thats about it! It sounds awesome now. This car is a complete project for me, so it was fun to tinker and not spend the ridiculous amount of money I normally would on a aftermarket intake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'd be wary of water with it being there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Stripping will continue lolWhat else are you taking away? You can buy relocation filter kits from Monster Motorsport which sit in front of the radiator, shorter route.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaCanada Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 The car won't be driven in the wet, it's mainly going to be tracked or used during the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GlanzaCanada Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Ordered the IDwerkz front and rear brake package kit, and a set of BC racing coils last week!Plus grabbed a used Decat off a member on here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaCanada Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Installed BC racing coil overs quickly the other day! The drop has really helped the look and stance, the fronts can go down about another inch, the rears have about 2 inches to play with still. This was how they were setup from the factory, and to be honest it looks pretty good. The fronts I think are good where they are, the rears I will bring down another half inch or so.
