My Car's Life....In Pictures.

[GeeUK]

Hello guys,

I won't bore you with the spec list, its too big! But there are some rolling road print outs amongst all of the below B)

So...when I first bought my Glanza, it started out like this (Don't laugh):

It came off the boat with some crappy side skirt, dodgy jap rusting exhaust, HKS filter, fuel cut defencer, HKS springs and Razo light weight 14" rims.

Well, next came along:

FMIC, Buddy Club 15" rims, D2 coilovers, rear struct brace, stainless steel exhaust including decat, uprated discs and pads amongst other things:

Things were OK for a while. I went through a few stainless manifolds, ran 1bar on the standard CT9 turbo.

I then hit a wall, crusing in the countryside at 3mph, lol. I was on low beam! Smashed some of my bumper, a fog light and water bottle.

So, out came the fogs, new water bottle in!

After stripped the interior, I thought: "Why do things by halfs?" and the car ended up like this!

Complete stripped out, no carpet and back to 14" light weight rims!

Well, as time went on and miles got higher, I eventually blew the thing up, lol. Bent a rod:

Well, bought a new engine and put the new turbo kit I had stored away on!





And paddle clutch:

Hi,

Nice car, have been looking at these myself...

But at what point in it's life does it turn into an MR2

[GeeUK]

This is true, I dont own an MR2, but I hope I am still welcome?

I registered on this site to gather info on the MR2, as it could possibly be a future purchase.

[nailmonkey]

Hi,

I'm sure you're welcome, you'll need to get an MR2 though in the next 30 days or you will be banned!!1!! (joke)

Perfect scenario though, a nice Mr2 and a 'sensible' hatchback, with a few subtle performance enhancing mods of course.

Hi !!

You neeeeeed a 2 for the weekend, and that could be your daily zipper maybe ?

[GeeUK]

Nah,

I dont do this weekend car business. I want power everyday of the week

I love the Glanza. It's got that mean Japanese street fighter look. You did a very good job, I would love that as a second car.
