u wont get a manaul glanza for 3k ( a tidy one )

youll get a tidy spec GT for that with about 180-200 bhp

Pretty much any car with a turbo unless it's a diesel or less than a share-size bottle of Coke will drink fuel!

[Ocego_VTR]

vrs's avergae 35mpg, 200sx tuned 20mpg maybe..

[Evolution4589]

vrs's avergae 35mpg, 200sx tuned 20mpg maybe..

Depends entirely how you drive it. A friend of mine has a vRS that struggles to get into the early twenties because he is brutal with the throttle. Another friend ran an S14 for a year, averaged 28mpg overall. He measured it, start to finish, 8,000 miles of Jap goodness.

It's just chucking ideas out anyway, 'tis what the man wanted. Therefore I found three suitable petrol turbo candidates. :y:

[Ocego_VTR]

yerr would have done the same with 200sx cant beat that sound and straight line performance for the money.

[Danr]

I know someone who has an alright Starlett. Not a glanza but it's pretty cheap. needs a wing resprayed?

[Japman]

yea thats a nice one mate

seems ok

do you want a glanza or GT is the question

glanza are slighty more to insure though

I'd just like something that is fairly pacey, whats the big difference between them mate.

Dan do you have any pics?

[Japman]

glanza is newer

looks like a micra on roids basically lol


you can get a 170 -180 bhp gt for about 3k

pacey lol-it will detroy most things

[Japman]

ive found this

and its a really bargain

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/682040.htm

add a decat to that and run it at 1 bar to 1.1 bar and you'll get about 200 bhp

try saying that around kent/london.

Anything which is jap/turbo and cheap to buy and can be tuned by simply winding the boost up is owned by all the shoelace stealers.

Agreed... when I was at Garage-D (drift specialist) at Watford, some cocksucker turned up in his 'mad tyte' Glanza and asked us all if we wanted to 'go racing yeh'. He was told to fuck off by some bloke with a Skyline that made about 5x the amount of power of his car.

That to me always has been and always be the image of a Glanza owner... had one at college too, complete cock who used to race everyone and then wrapped his precious car round a tree.

[Japman]

not like that around here

if you have a type R u get some stick

thats about it

and btw i am one of them people who always wants to race

didnt spend all this money to plod around 24/7 lol

Racing on the Queen's highway is just not cricket old chap.

Then again, I haz 1.1 lawl. So yeah, maybe I'd think different if I had that car.

Around here it's mainly people in Glanzas and Mitsubishi Colts that are cocksuckers. So we just go after the Colt drivers... easy meat. Those Glanzas are pesky and very quick.

[Japman]

lol i dont get many people comming after me

You've got to remember most of them can't drive, he was probably completely out of the powerband because he thinks that 7,000rpm = godly, lol.

Just a quick question, whats the rough cost of changing from an auto to a manual? What needs to be done?

[Japman]

pedels etc,gear box,abit of work,i wouldnt bother

[Jazz]

Depends entirely how you drive it. A friend of mine has a vRS that struggles to get into the early twenties because he is brutal with the throttle. Another friend ran an S14 for a year, averaged 28mpg overall. He measured it, start to finish, 8,000 miles of Jap goodness.

It's just chucking ideas out anyway, 'tis what the man wanted. Therefore I found three suitable petrol turbo candidates. :y:

My dad's Octy vRS regularly gets over 35mpg, and my dad's not light on the throttle either. A bit of mapping and they'll dick most small hot-hatches to. Not popular with the young folk because of the badge/size, but for the money its by far the best alround car you can get your hands on. A few Accord Type R's falling under the 3.5k mark these days too, although not turbo obviously.

For the money and if you want to go turbo, I suppose a GT Starlet is a good way to go. Just be careful its not a ragged dog.

[Ocego_VTR]

yerr but the accords have 1250000000000000000000000000000 miles on them

[Ocego_VTR]

good usually see one with 50k at around £5k to buy

[Sutch]

Before you get too happy and set on a Glanza, I'd do some quotes, make sure they're done properly though, as lots of people were insuring them as standard non-turbo cars.

Insurance companies are cracking down on this, and think of it like this.. Tiny Car, lots of power, cheap to buy, high insurance is the obvious answer, well unless you fiddle some things but f**k doing that.

[Jazz]

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/663335.htm

Could get that in budget. Styling needs a little sorting out but can't argue with the spec. Little brother to the 200SX,with that SR20DE engine. Must be rapid.

you drove it been in it at all apparently there stupidly fast off the line.

you drove it been in it at all apparently there stupidly fast off the line.

I was following him in my Accord (both of us were going for a burger) and saw him shoot off past traffic like a maniac. Very quick lol.

Its something like a 1992 though, a bit too old for my liking.

[Ocego_VTR]

you can get 1995 versions i think its about the performance 2bh and there cheap as chips lol

[tease1986]

c2 vts stick a deposit down and get rest on finance i got one love it

[Pat_Vts]

pulsar...

whats insurance like on them, and reliabilty and petrol bills?

would love a pulsar myself lol i only drive 100 miles ish a week lol

[Pat_Vts]

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/614222.htm

[Danr]

Pulsar's are crazy insurance for me. Although speaking to my mate who owns a mental cossie it's the only car that he would contemplate buying at the moment.

[Ocego_VTR]

there was one round here (pulsar) with 330bhp and it blew up lmao.

[Crunkers]

I think the Glanza looks far nicer tbh

[Japman]

pulser rust bucket you meen lol

my mate has one,fast when its going but has blown 9 engines

[Pat_Vts]

no fanks to the thought of 9 engines lol

er go for the starlet but its old for what it is and if you buy one you would be buying from dealer or private?

[Crunkers]

Depends mate on what is out there

[Pat_Vts]

oh cool

can the dealers be badgered into 1years warranty? most give 3months... can this be extended to 1year at a cost?

and are the 1.3 turbos quicker than VTS ? lol (not starting a racing disccusion) just wondering...

[laura_g]

pulser rust bucket you meen lol

my mate has one,fast when its going but has blown 9 engines

you get that with all cars though some cars are well looked after and others aren't

[Jazz]

no fanks to the thought of 9 engines lol

er go for the starlet but its old for what it is and if you buy one you would be buying from dealer or private?

Like all old Jap turbo cars you really need to take care with getting looked after versions. If you put your money on a version thats been boosted and raced up and down, you're buying a timebomb. Sometimes its easy to look at the low price and BHP and think yes, but in reality its harder than that.

Best to check out owners clubs, loads of info on what to look for and usually have good examples for sale, whether its a Glanza, Pulsar, Impreza etc.

These cars are like retired boxers, many have had a hard life and can still throw a good right hook, but need constant care and looking after.

Pat- standard 1.3 Turbo is similar performance to VTS, slightly more power (133ish iirc) and easier to tune.

[Pat_Vts]

rather VTS thinking about it... newer, less chance of breaking i think, lower miles etc

[Japman]

vts less chances of breaking

you are aware that vts are french arnt you lol

[Pat_Vts]

yes i am

but i think less... still...

[M-H]

what about a distau charade 1.o turbo?
