bought a 1999 glanza v, after selling my 96. bought it standard apart from a set of tanabe coilovers in it.

came with aftermarket plug leads, jam fcd, tanabe coilovers, 5zigen exhaust system, blitz air filter, blitz dump valve, cusco front strut.

got at a bit of a bargin in my eyes. with below 50k on it.

i then started trying to work away, but with my work gettin very patchy, i had nearly been forced to sell the car a few times. but after a couple of months of tryin to find a perfect paying job, it started to finally pay off, as i started to modify my pride and joy.....

i first worked on the engine. had a few friends that owed me a couple of favours, to settle me with some good priced parts. i also gave spraying a go, and decided to start cleaning up the engine bay, from its standard state, to a more, colourful, modified look. and so, i painted the rocker cover, fitted a hks acuator, blue silicon hosing, and then waited to save a bit of money, and so i paid BIG money, for a brand new Blitz LM Front Mount Intercooler. and after cutting the bumper to adjust it, and fitting all my blue. it went from this.....

work decided to take a turn for the worst again, i put the car up for sale, got no interest, so the wheels on it i found were pretty valuable and so i was forced to sell the 15" Advan RG's, and so i recieved a lime green set of speedline sr's with cash for, which i had to paint lol

i then bought a sard fuel pressure regulator which a good friend helped set-up, relocated the number plate and used the rest to fit a new exedy paddle clutch and also a set of glanza decals

i then waited around for the right parts to come around, and save, and bought a momo steering wheel, pod pillar, with a hks gauge, and oil press gauge, i also painted the surround of the cd player, and the dials in the same colour of blue. pictures to come....


becuase the car is away at the minute, because i just purchased this..........

watch out on ebay, that one you linked up is in japan, so there is £20 postage if you want it within a week, and then more than likely another £20-30 on import charges.
