Dirtmacnasty Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewbieLewby Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Nice Only difference between glanza gaurds and normal ones are the holes for the side repeaters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtmacnasty Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Or check the chassis code on the firewall. Should start with EP91 for FWD or EP95 for 4WDDay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mart1 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 sweet well i am bidding on a set at the moment for very cheap! UPDATE- found a set of head lights and silver side skirts so just need a front bumper now then 50mm lowering springs! will post pics when i pick up and fit/ drink a beer.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.
