Jim* Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) So been wanting a Glanza since I first found out about the cars, and eventually I have one Really pleased with it! Drove 340 miles to get the car and it's finally home around 2am this morning Heres a few quick pics I took this morning. (Excuse the dirt it was a long drive!) Few little bits wrong, 1) The exhaust hits the bumper slightly so will need to move that across! 2) temp gauge does not really work it goes up to about a quarter then stays mostly at cold. (Anybody have any ideas as to what this could be?) Apart from that shes sweet and bloody quick too! I didn't realise how fast these little cars really were! It's got the LSD box aswel which was what I wanted and I'm so chuffed with it! Comments welcome Edited April 5, 2014 by Jim* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks nice, best colour too lol, what's plans have you got for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Cheers mate and deffinatly the best colour! At the minute I'm just going to sort out all 'nigly' bits, then coilovers and handling before power I think but i get the feeling that might change Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) The temp thing is because you need a new thermostat matey. Nice easy fix but make it your top priority or you will end up with a rattly engine Nice base you have looks tidy I like the wheels whats it like inside? Any nice parts on there? I see you have both front and back optional splitters too. Happy modding! Edited January 25, 2013 by StuDoc 72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very pleased with it! Where you from pal? Looked earlier also and was running 1.1 bar! Turned the boost down to 0.9 as I do t think it's forged! And don't want to risk it!

Yes mate very easy 2 or 3 bolts on the housing take tht off and pull the old one out. Stick a garden hose in there flush out the system stick your new stat in and bolt it back up. Top up the coolant and your away mate. Some nice parts there mate and youve most definately joined the right club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
