Item Condition: Very Clean car, has been treated well and looked after. washed with expensive products regularly. I will update the pics by the end of the weekend so they are up to date pictures..

Price and price conditions: £2800

Reputation : http://www.ek9.org/forum/reputation-center/32693-topher-ek4.html

Extra Info: The car is very fast, easily faster than my Standard EK9.. i can pull away from my mates EP3 Type R -
Well do the maths's 180Hp with under 900 Kilos ... :D

I bought the car from MarkP from this forum.. so you know the car has had 2 enthusiast owners..

Its a 1996 Glanza V in White..

I will describe the car as best i can to not disapoint anyone interested.

Bodywork: it has stone chips on the front bumper but nothing major / side skirts have some marks on them... other than that it is very close to mint.. perfectly clean arches both sides, very clean doors very clean rear quarter panels, very clean tailgate and rear bumper. a quick spray of the front end and sideskirts ( which i had priced for me at £200 locally ) the car would be pretty much immaculate paint wise with the front end redone..
it also has a splitter fitted this has come of a Seat Leon Cupra R... fits very well. not bodged..

Susension and brakes: The suspension is superb. koni red shocks at front and yellow at the rear with RSR springs all round. the konis up front are adjustable. no noises from suspension at all.. steering is precise. it also has a CUSCO rear strut brace. Drilled and grooved brakes all round with EBC yellow stuff pads.. wheels are 15" Rota Slipstreams in black with Toyo proxes. i also fitted 3MM spaces all round, just to push the wheels out slightly, Well within the limits of the bolts as advised by a local motorsport arts outlet store :)

Engine: the mods include. HKS actuator, HKS mushroom filter, Baileys Dump valve single piston, ARC oil cap, Japspeed exhaust from Decat backwards, Decat is unknwon make it has seperate pipes for wastegate and turbo and then they join just before the flange to mid section, Stainless steel heatwrapped 4 - 1 turbo manifold, JAM racing ECU, red metallic cooling plate, twin plated clutch ( unknown brand but its definately got loads of bite ) and makes the twin plated rattle lol and a C's short shifter. New ignition leads, new sparks, new oil filter, new oil..

the car recently decided to let puffs of smoke out the exhaust when i had come home from a run , it only happened once.. , no mayo on filler cap, no dirty mankyness in overflow bottle.. I will be getting a compression test V soon but i believe it is the turbo seals going. ( hey there is a CT9 fully conditioned on Toyotagtturbo.co.uk for £150 so its not much to fix )

The engine made 171.5 Hp on the dyno, this was with a restrictive HKS superdragger exhaust. the new japspeed is a bigger bore and its boosting more now, so i estimate it to be north of 175 hp now.

Interior: Recaro speed bucket seat ( exactly the same as integra R seats ) on a Bride rail. rest of the seats are OEM.. it has a Blitz boost gauge, Momo steering wheel with Boss, TRD shift knob ( these are nearly £40 :O ) some metal racing pedals.. it also has a HKS type 1.. i have also fitted a UK MPH speedo just the MPH piece everything else is the same but it goes from 0 - 110MPh now , but i have the original JDM speedo included.


All in all the car is Very Very clean, it is also very clean underneath.

it has done 95,000 miles.

at this price there are a few for sale i am aware of this , however i am more than confident they will not be this clean.. yeah they might be running 200Hp but i doubt half of them are safely running that power and alot seem to be in quite poor condition body wise.. this is running a confirmed 171hp at least and this is very much within its limits so i think the price is fair.. its now running nearer 180Hp with the larger bore exhaust.

The car was taken to Clive Atthowe tuning. here is his website.. he is a very highly regarded tuner in East Anglia here is his site. he was very impressed with the car and how clean it was..

yeah it made need a new turbo but i will confirm this before any inspection of the car to save any time wasted on your behalf :) , and if you are picky maybe a front end brush over would be needed but throw £400 at it and it will be a fast immaculate Glanza V

the car will be compression tested as soon as i can get it to a garage this week. i have nothing to hide and am Gutted to have to sell this.

reason for sale: basically pushing all my money into my band.. i really dont want to sell it. its a sick little car and ive scared many friends in it. Ill be gutted to see it go but my band comes before my car at the moment..
i will be sad to see this go, its so much fun to drive..

This really is a great glanza if I hadn't just bought a dc2 I'd buy it back from topher . Super clean and running good power with plenty of potential to make a scary fast car . Toph is a top guy to deal with . If your in the market for an ep91 this one is well worth th coin.
 
Thanks mark. good man for buying a dc2. :D.

I really dont want to sell it but want the band to go as well as possible then i can buy many cars hehe.
It really is amazingly clean everyone looks and comments on it.
Hope ur keeping well mate.
 
What you after now Chris ? Back to the Big H ??

I wish mate.. seeing an EK9 go past the other night made me want another SO badly.. i'm selling ( not because i want to ) but because i need to pump some money into the band..
I'll probably have to settle for a run around.. We've bought a van for our band so i have an LDV Maxus 2006 edition to run around in.. :) it will soon have bunk beds also :D
Didnt have this too long did you.

i know mate, i don't want to sell it... but needs must.

Hopefully if things go well :cool: I'll be able to what ever i want, here's hoping.

Those jam ecu's are brilliant,plug it in and away you go with more power and a raised rev limit
They still fetch £500 second hand as they're really hard to get hold of
Good luck with sale
Would say fixing the turbo yourself would speed the process though
 
Still no interest ???

I don't understand... people buy shittly done TD04 conversions on **** looking glanza's where everything is done on the cheap for around the £2500 mark...

This car is seriously clean.. :angry:
 
Remember seeing this when Mark had it, very clean car. GLWTS Chris :)
 
sure is mate, I clay bared the car today, used paint cleaner, polish and then coated it in wax..

i'll post some pictures up of the paint tomorrow, the reflections are perfect ;)
 
£2700

Come on lad's - Yeh it doesn't handle like a civic but it sure as hell is faster than them..

had a few run ins with EP3's and neither were as quick. what it lacks in handling it certainly makes up for in straight line pace..
