Myers9019 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well I thought it was time I bought another glanza as I regretted selling my old one. I've been looking for another one for around 5 to 6 months. All of a sudden this one popped up fairly local to me at the right money as it needed some work so I headed up there. Had a look round and decided it was the one for me so I purchase it for £2500. Witch I thought was a bargain for the spec.1998 Glanza VFace-Lift, Manual168,000km's040 WhiteOEM LSD GearboxClimate ControlWind Deflectors3 Point Rear BraceMeister Zeta-R CoiloversRace-Tech TD04 Turbo KitRace-Tech FMICRace-Tech 2.5" Exhaust SystemTriple Core Civic Rad KitRW-Developments Oil Catch TankRW-Developments Race Spec Cam CoverG-Reddy Emanage Blue ECU - Mapped by Ricky @ Race-TechDepo Boost GaugeJDM Checkered MatsOMP Steering Wheel w/Snap Off BossSparco NS2 JDM Alloy WheelsRolling Road Printout for 210bhp at 1bar. But it certainly didn't feel like it had that sort of power.The faults were as follows.Huge blow from the manifold area. Previous owner suspected cracked manifold.Oil leak from cam coverStiff gearboxCracked front bumperNo screamer pipe at all. Fell off.I'll keep you all updated with my progress as I return it to its former perfection.I have major OCD so believe me when I say this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 About time too! Don't flog this one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myers9019 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 UpdateSo I thought I'd start off with sorting the blowing manifold and getting a new screamer pipe as the original one was missing completely. With a little help from Socks @JDM-EP we took the turbo kit off. To find a knackered Gasket! So off to racetech we went got a new gasket set and screamer pipe made up while we waited! Mega service! We then cleaned all the turbo kit up. Fitted it all back on started it up and it sounds sweet again no blowing all fixed!So I then rang race-tech to see when they could fit it in to have the map all checked out just for piece of mind.I'll update when i get it back from race-tech! Here's some more pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Myers9019 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yes mate that's where I picked it up from he said he needed a van. And just lost interest in it! Do you no if he had a project thread? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myers9019 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Update!Been to see Ricky at Race-Tech to pick the Glanza up after a map tweak.It's was down on power when I got it. Made 160 bhp! So it was well underpowered at 0.8bar. I got a 1.0bar spring fitted, a Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump and a map tweak and it made 202.4bhp!Feels so much better to drive too! Really happy with it!Other news,I ordered some parts from toyota last week:Genuine Face-Lift Front BumperPassenger Side Glanza Decal as I was missing oneGlanza decal for the front bumper. Fitted the passenger side glanza decal looks loads better now.Also as I was saying I'm OCD about having a clean mint car I've booked it in for paint next week.New front bumper, bonnet, both wings, side skirts, boot lid and rear bumper are all getting painted.Here's some more pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myers9019 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 UpdateFitted a new cam cover gasket today. What a Mess! Silicone all over the old gasket!Also fitted new TD Gear Linkage Bushes feels loads better now although it's still stiff going in and out of gears. Another fault maybe.Also fitted a new top engine mount as the other one was totally knackered! Replaced it with a polly bush mount Cars now gone in for paint.I'll update when it's back.

Myers9019 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hey guys another updatePicked the car up from paint shop at the weekend. It's now looking fresh ???? Also while it was in the paint shop I've bought some new wheels (rota grids) in white as I thought they suit the car best.!???? With the help from socks i also bought Some new bits from Toyota front glanza decal, rear glanza decal and rear Toyota badge also got some new roof strips on order. just before it went in for paint I thought Id try and sort the ride height out as it was slammed nearly as low as it would go so I took the coilovers off. To find that when the previous owner fitted them he thought it would be a good idea to just put them on without greasing them up. They was seized I managed to free the rears off that took all day as it was getting dark I never got chance to try the fronts. There were all looking tired and ready for a refresh so I thought rarther than trying to free the fronts off I'll just buy new ones and sell these ???? So I bought a brand new set of Meister R's and some socks from tegua the protect them. The socks are awesome well worth getting for the sake of £30. So here It is now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
