Hi All!

My names Peter and i live in New zealand. Recently picked up the Mrs wee car to replace her honda logo that wont seem to die.

Reasons i decided on this thing is 1- it was dirt cheap 2- it is cheap on gas and insurance 3-reliable 4-i have no idea but i was having a beer at the time upon purchasing it.

Plan of attack after another beer with a mate was to turn it into 'The turbo model' on the cheap while having a laugh. We have no idea what we are doing but have a socket set and a will to learn!

So Far i have picked up a bonnet, rear bumper, rear boot spoiler thingy for $100 NZD

Stole some mags off the trusty logo and put on a chrome exhaust tip cover for that extra 10 horsepower

Next on the list will be front bumper, side skirts lips, headlights, can anyone tell a newbie if i require new front guards for the conversion?

On the hunt for some recaros out of a Mitsubishi lancer evo among many other cheap parts. Sharrons going to be like a american woman with fake lips and fake tits - looking great but we all know shes not real

I think he means 4 wheel drive.

Looks good, keep up the good drinking work

[GlanzaJim]

This is what i thought too. Check see if its 4wd dude

[NewbieLewby]

Nice

Only difference between glanza gaurds and normal ones are the holes for the side repeaters.

[Dirtmacnasty]

Thanks team!

i have found the Glanza white face speedo and rev counter for cheap and just need to confirm that it plug straight in to the car? obviously the turbo part will not work but hey what about the rest?

Need to confirm it is 4wd but pretty sure its just a fronty

[GlanzaJim]

Take a pic underneath

[Starlet__SR]

Or check the chassis code on the firewall. Should start with EP91 for FWD or EP95 for 4WD

cool glanza rep, just one suggestion I wouldn't go any lower than 30mm with standard shocks, the ride is horrible when lowered 40mm, but if its just for looks then yeah 50mm drop it.

If you have got the 4wd I think you might struggle to drop it at the back, I might be wrong though as it is something I read on this forum a bit back about lowering 4wd.

Any updates?
