looking at a glanza for a runaround what do ye think??

jp1

Without sounding stupid where is that ?

fabross

how do you mean?

jp1

I am going to sound stupid now I thought you meant a meet
Just read it again I think I know what you mean now

Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!11

fabross

think i see where you lost me dumdass ha ha
i mean the little toyota turbo i rec its a baby loon do you know them?

jp1

like the starlet 1.3 with a blower on they are meant to be a pocket rocket and pretty bullet proof if its tha same one I like the look of them too

fabross

thats the one where did you hear of reliabilty coz thats a big plus ,nice to have a choise of two blown cars too

jp1

Used to have a mr2 top motor again bullet proof
One of the guys @ middlehurst motorsport(nissan) said they were good and an importer I spoke to said the same, the only down side is as they are not that popular the parts may be harder to source and a bit more expensive.

fabross

my old fella has an mr2 turbo and i agree but the parts thing never really bothered me what kind of scooby you got?

jp1

sti v4 type r 2 door in silver
17" khans
magnex pipe
quads

I have only had it a month or so still got the grin factor and having lots of fun and the missus loves it too
(and the car)

What about you ?

fabross

nice...mines a 93 wrx jap with a 22b kit 18s huge wing and on and on love it to bits its away at the moment having paint and boost turned up blah blah i tell ya when you start you cant stop thats why i wanna glanza for a bit of fun

jp1

I want a change of wing (for a V5)
and a cheap car as the wife is learning at the moment and thankfully she refuses to drive the scooby
I need the clear indicators and side repeaters first though.

was a bit shocked at the cost !£100 for the 2 sets

fabross

i know this modding lark is the game to be in!!my wing is one of those fast and furious jobs it might sound **** but with the wide arches it looks da muts nuts,did you do those mods or were they on the car already?

jp1

I bought the car from a guy in work I think he did them It looks good but not ott for my liking I may do the wing at some point
would maybe like some 18's but the fund is dry as the house is being decorated ! sh*te.

What colour is yours?

fabross

black with holographic flake is what they are telling me havent seen it yet did i say its a four door the kit is crazy reactions are great from all types and then theres the exhaust loud stuff very race car look and in yer face but thats what i like!

jp1

are there going to be any before and after pitures posted to get people opinions?

I opted for a "quiet" magnex with extra silencer to avoid problems with the neighbours when I leave for work at 6 in the morning at get home from nights @ 6:30

fabross

maybe have to get my camera up and running first and holy **** what do you do??

jp1

IT computer opertaions

sounds good

play on the net and watch telly on a 10 foot screen all day/night

for a large telecoms firm in the NW not sure if you will ahve heard of them depends where you are from

fabross

im in southern ireland where the roads are **** and the driving ****ter owned any other hot cars?

jp1

my last car was a luke warm rover 200VI not hot but far from bad,
other than that a little mg metro was my first beast

fabross

last was a scremin vtec civic had to give it hell to make it go ....brilliant

jp1

the rover was a vvc supposedly better than the vtec but not as popular more advanced allegedly not sure though those accord type r's look good to me that was the alternative to the scooby !

not too bad a choice to have to make

fabross

had the same prob only with me it was an integra type r but the turbo whistled my name followed by dump saying buy me you chicken ****!!

jp1

I wanted the sti 2 door since I was 15 so I could'nt not do it

fabross

got to feed the inner child gotta go ill let ye know of the glanza and try to post some pics of me scooby..

jp1

i must get me a camera and get some decent pics as well

I can't say form my won experience but some of the Charade GTti guys reckons ther Starlet ( Glanza) handles really badly with terrible understeer. The engine is not as reliable as other excellent Toyota lumps and is quite complex.

As a standard car its possibly an OK choice but I'm not sure what getting parts is like as they are very rare over here.

They do look good though !
