Evolution of a Japan EP91 Starlet Glanza V

[Flack88]

After seeing ACME's posts.......Good one I thought I would post one of my own.

I came into this car half blind, by sheer luck I ended up with a mint 1999 Glanza V which cost me £4,000, some basic mods such as RX7 TMIC and a mild steel manifold and a Blitz decat. Which is pretty much the essential mod to run on a CT9 turbo.
I was completely amateur to this kind of modifying scene.

This was the car as I bought it:

4 years I think lol, enough to build a fully forged 1.5L monster with up-rated valve springs!.........I got a 13.6 with a really crunchy gearbox lol..

Started at the Cylinder Head (I run 5E - FHE cams from the Seraa so they have slightly higher lift on the intake)

This is what it ended up like:

A 1.5L FWD car with a lot more to go, I can run over 426 bhp on C56 geabox

Must admit, i've got a soft spot for these! and putting that much through the wheels must be fun on such a small car!
thought about water injection?!

Proper little pocket rocket. I went out with a girl who had the older shape starlet, nothing like the spec you have though. Keep the photos coming.

Built an EP82 with forged 4E and GT28rs many many moons ago. They were fun little cars

 

[Glanza]

The only car I've owned that I miss and regret selling, I was one of the first to have the Race-Tech TD04 upgrade done that got mine running at 236bhp on standard internals.

Am I the only one who has never heard of a Glanza before?
