just imported glanza (wat next)???

[D3N0]

my glanza arrived about a week ago. it is a stock black 98-99 glanza V with a few factory optional xtras, it is a very clean example. the only mod it has so far is HKS induction kit and Tein coilovers. when i go to pick it up which is like in 10 days, i will have an extra £1200 on me. i was jus wanted to know in this situation what mod should be bought first on that bugdet.

oh and minus £450, bcuz um getting sum JDM 16" rims

i want it to be at an acceptable level for upcoming meets that i seen planed end of this month. so please help!

just spent £4800 buying the thing :ep91:

 

[Idrees]

What you after? Looks? Performance?

 

[D3N0]

mainly performance, as i have new rota wheels on the way and tein coilovers already on the car

 

[Idrees]

So you'll have £750?

I'd start off with a rear strut brace, some uprated brake discs and maybe a panhard rod. Then a decat and a FMIC

Some experienced members should be able to help you better than me though

Would you like to stick with the standard ct9 turbo or go bigger?

If you want to stick with the ct9, I would suggest hks actuator, aftermarket ECU (apexi afc), FMIC, new manifold (mild steel if you can find one!), de-cat, good exhaust system, rrfpr, walbro fuel pump, new spark plugs and leads, new discs + pads - should be able to get some of that for £1200.

Lol but remember he said minus £450 from that for rims

 

[D3N0]

thanks indrees, oh and id say you are quite experient. what you have done to your car is amazing, and your bare young. cant image wat you will be doing with cars in like 4-5 years time.

i thought about a HKS actuator, cliford alarm (new one), i wanted a fmic but i cant get the Greddy one at the moment coz its expensive.

 

[ChrisGT]

Ah ok, he could still get a fair bit of that though! I thought I'd just list what I want really lol

EDIT:

Yeah alarm would probably be money best spent first off!

You don't have to get a g-reddy one mate! Could go with an autobahn cooler, or do what I plan on doing- buying a small universal FMIC so you don't have to remove the crashbar, and then buy sacha's universal intercooler hard pipe kit for the ct9. Should work out to about £250ish that way.

 

[Idrees]

Cheers

The Autobahn FMICs are pretty cheap from Asad if I remember correctly (Xtreme performance section)

And yes, I say an alarm is a MUST

Maintenance. Full service, filters, fluids plus wear and tear items such as brakes should take priority. Unless already done beforehand.

remember u will have to SVA your car witch cost me £260 for the test, £250 for a model report and £60 FOR THE RETEST WHEN IT FAILED.

i would like to get all of that but um quite sure all of that costs alot more than £1200. i want to stay with the ct9 for now though, until maybe my birthday or christmas. ask the misses for a forged engine...lol

 

[ChrisGT]

Haha yeah, well for £1200 you should start off with an alarm, most definately. Then like jay says, general maintenance. Change any pads or even discs if they are worn, new oil + filter, new plugs + leads, fluids etc and once thats sorted you can start modding her

thants a good idea. um sure its ok for matenance as it has passed the euro test and mot, and has gone through a servicing. um a bit iffy with thebrakes though, they are not as sharp as i wanted. as the car is quite quick.

yea, ive sorted that. was not happing though, but its not bad when if paid for such a great glanza for £4800. its a shame i have no pics, otherwise id upload them

 

[DWB]

yea bro wen u get pics get them on.

thanks mate, i mite just do ur combo. its a cheap option at the moment so i can focus on wat i really wanna do to it.

 

[ChrisGT]

Straight through and de-cat :homer:

I have a de-cat and 1 rear silencer and that is bloody-friggin' loud! That would sound mental.

DO IT! :quadgt:

You would be able to run 1 bar on that setup and see a good improvement over standard.

That would be my first shopping list in your position.
