Having had quite a few cars over the years I'm back where I started 14 years ago. Picked it up today and had a fantastic 100mile drive home where it just ticked over 60k. 4 owners and loads of history.There is a slight scuff on the front bumper but will be sorted easily. My only gripe is that some plonker has welded on the tte tail pipe upside down on the new back box! Will be getting sorted v soon as it's driving me mad.Other than that though near immaculate body and mechanically sound so I'm chuffed. Anyone who knows me knows it won't get repped- at most it'll get crystal lights, clear indicators and slight wheel spacers along with a wheel refurb but that's about it.I'll also be tweaking the interior and giving the engine bay a proper clean but will post up pics as I go along. Also I was wondering if anyone knows if these ever had the option of front fog lights as this has some and the install looks pretty good like it's meant to be there along with a proper matching fog light switch.

Ryan5793 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Very smart! Fogs were optional I'm sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looking good. Yeah the fogs are a factory option and are like Hens teeth. Glad it staying Stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burty Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Fogs an option as was aircon which mine has looks great keep the ambers though they suit black love a tidy sr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looks lovely, get that tail pipe welded so it sits horizontal as well.Looks like a good car to hold onto 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Cant be many left like this!Sunroofs were also an option i believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 The exhaust is the only thing letting it down at the moment. I am tempted to leave the ambers and will think about it but I definately wont be changing much. Thanks for the heads up Morgey, v happy to finally find a decent one. Thanks for all the nice comments Oh and I don't like the fogs but def can't remove them if they're original! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I prefered mine with ambers. Theyre only £7 from toyota for them anyway so its not guna break to bank to try. Will be a great example with that exhaust sorted 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnygt Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Very nice indeed.Love them foglights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 they have grown on me today as have the ambers think i'll just swap the main headlights for crystals. Also found out today that it's got the Toyota factory audio upgrade kit- Original CD player with parcel shelf speakers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Spoke to a friend at work today who's got another friend in exhaust fabrication so hopefully getting it booked in soon for a stainless back box with the tte tail pipe welded on.Was looking through the history properly and it has every old mot and v5 too. I feel I might have got one that's too good as I drove to tescos today and parked miles away from anyone else! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks v much for the nice comments I've been searching for a good one for ages to be honest. Best keep the fogs then hadn't I ha ha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 What oil is everyone running in the na's? I've been recommended 10w40 part synth by a friend. Also was wondering if servicing parts are the same for the glanza and na's such as timing belt kit, water pump, oil filter, crank seal etc? I'm going to get all that done for peace of mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks buddy it's v v well cared for and is going to get treated to a good going over next week- all service parts, belts, cambelt kit, crystal lights and I managed to track down the late spec glanza seats like I said I won't be going over the top with anything, the idea is for everything to look like it was factory fitted Oh and the exhaust is hopefully getting done too. I'll update with pics when things start happening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Pete* Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Very clean, will keep my eye on this thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Is it worth me getting a Corolla Inlet mani? And is it a straight swap? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spoonsie_ladd Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 You will not regret upgrading that manifold, do it lad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Is it a straight swap? And does the Ecu self learn? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think you need to mod the throttle cable a bit with a washer as the mount is different. Ecu will be fine just pop the efi fuse out for 30mins or disconnect the battery whilst you swap it over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
