Stats of a Toyota Starlet Glanza V

[Crunkers]

Can anyone point me in the direction of a list of statistics for this car? 0-60 timings, BHP etc

[Sutch]

Bosh... (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=NMv&q=Toyota+Starlet+Glanza+V+specs&btnG=Search&meta=)

i lold

[vtrjay]

I aint sure but these little things are very quick and sexy arnt they!! bit pricey tho!

[Rob_Furio7]

apparently is got 84bhp standard??....

[Pat_Vts]

japcrap that i wish i could insure

bell wont cover imports

[NickB]

http://www.parkers.co.uk/ is the answer to all things statistical

[Rallye-Rye]

i have one, there as follows,

1.3 dohc 16v turbo,
930kg
115bhp on low boost (0.4 bar)
136bhp on high boost (0.65 bar)
0-60 6.8secs in standard form
tops out about 130+ (jap limiter removed)
in standard form they are abit quicker than a vts,( i know this as i also own a 106gti) especially when you get on boost, boost in a hot hatch is addictive.
they can also ba tuned up to be absolute animals for minimal funds,
where as where you would pay 1500+ for a full tb set up and management and see 170 bhp ish on a vts or gti, i have spent 500 on my glanza and it will be soon running 190+ bhp.
they are also alot better made than the vts's or gti, no rattlin, clunks, jerks e.t.c....
interior on them looks abit dated but it were never a jap strongpoint.

im still in love with me french hatches, but these things are truly mad little cars.

not imports though ;)

130bhp standard iirc?

cant recall any other facts about them.. was considering getting one, but at the age of 19 the insurance is ridiculous, thats comming from the top insurer of glanzas within the uk

[Connor_scotland]

I hate Starlets. Ugly as hell

But they do shift tho. I owned one for about 3 days. Had a dump valve,indutcion kit, FMIC, 3" exhaust but till i got bored of it - Also im a big lad an the starlet is small so.......

[Mattt-VTR]

Wouldn't mind having a go in one of these, everyone seems to rate them quiet high,

unfortunalty that seems to be the problem with these cars as of late

not aimed at you personally but..

a lot of chavs have got their hands on glanzas and are all "runnin fuckin high boost" without modifying the engine properly

i wouldnt buy one unless from an import dealer..

[SBeacham1985]

I've been looking at buying a nice Starlet but since ive started looking at them bout 5 people near my way have got them :0(
I must admit they are starting to get a chavy image even though they are not that cheap to buy (well a decent one isnt anyway)
Humm maybe back to the drawing board and have another think about what car to look at getting next.

as i said above, would only buy direct from an import co

lol one thing to say bout them Jap crap !!!!

[Rob]

lol one thing to say bout them Jap crap !!!!


i cannot understand why people say things like this, take honda for example, probably one of the most reliable makers of cars and the type-r's absolutely fly. They are not jap crap, not many jap makes are crap IMO.

I've had a play with a few starlets and i was impressed with how quick they are, fast off the line and I like the aggressive looks. But alot have been thrashed tho, lots of people have turned up the boost and driven the tits off it, once the seal on the turbo goes of the engine starts screwing up they sell cheap, so there are some real stinkers out there.

But I know a lad who's had one for a couple of years, he looks after it and it's still going strong running approx 300bhp. So it goes to show that if looked after they are great little cars and are more than capable of imbarassing much larger and more powerful machines.

[Mieran]

Jap crap = GOOD crap

I don't understand why people hate Jap cars...?

[scottyvtr]

cause of pish like this .............from a scottish jap crap site after the got a ass woopin at a national show by saxp, this is 2 posts from the site

[saxo-chris]

I dont think jap is crap but... The starlet is over priced, the interior leaves much to be desired and they are ugly as fuck.

Starlet Turbos aren't on parkers

I know that I'd prefer a Glanza V over a saxo. Never seen them around Bournemouth anyway

[Heliosphan]

Isn't the Glanza newer but slightly heavier than the Starlet GT and therefore not quite as quick?

I've seen 0-60mph in 6.8 for the Starlet GT and just over 7 for the Glanza.

quicker lol,spend 200 pounds on starlet and WHAM bye bye clio

[Cal]

quicker lol,spend 200 pounds on starlet and WHAM bye bye clioI agree that you can easily tune a Starlet better and more cost effectively than a Clio. Although I think you'd need some serious power and suspension mods to be saying bye bye Clio on track/twisties. Also think the Clio is miles better looking... well, mine anyway :D

[Crunkers]

quicker lol,spend 200 pounds on starlet and WHAM bye bye clio

What kind of mods would you add Jap to drop the 0-60 time?

gti is 6.8to 60

8.2 is glanza,taken from starlet fourm that is

meh


8.2 is manufacturer claim.

Real 0-60mph is more like low 7s as has been stated before.

920Kg and 133bhp seems to back up the theory too.

[l66cya]

ive had a starlet turbo and im 18 and payd 2200 fully comp on iit lol but these cars anit all tht i had 180bhp white 1. till it blue up and got rid of it lol

[Japman]

What kind of mods would you add Jap to drop the 0-60 time?



You would say that. I agree though Cal your car looks sexual

fpr and actuator,turn up the boost a lil,that would drop it

[AlexN]

i had a go in my mates on high boost, have to say that i wasnt that impressed id much rather the saxo tbh and the saxo handles so much better than the starlet and it had some rediculously expensive coilovers to.

way to overpriced tbh but can see they would be immenseley quick with a few things done to them

[Japman]

agreed about saxos are better hadling but i know my car and its limits,havnt seen any saxos get away on bends or roundabouts yet hahah :)

[Crunkers]

fpr and actuator,turn up the boost a lil,that would drop it

What do they do? Very new to Starlets lol.

[Japman]

it allows you to adjust the boost so you cant turn it up,more boost more bhp,more power :)

[Heliosphan]

Crunkers, if you're interested in these cars have a read of this review I just found.

It's a bit long but worth it if you want to learn a bit more about the Starlet.


First of all i will begin my review of the Toyota Starlet GT by giving you a brief history of the vehicle. The first model of the Starlet GT (chassis code EP82) was produced in 1990 and continued on through until 1995 when production was ceased.The code given to the engine used was 4-EFTE. During the 5 years of manufacture the GT went through a slight cosmetic change from having square lamps at the front (pre <94 models) to having rounded headlights. I have been a member of a few starlet enthusiast clubs for a while now and this newer model ( post 94>) tends to be called a "quadlight model". Also the post 94> models had a revised tailgate from the pre <94 models, the difference being a reflective strip being removed from between the rear tail lights.
I personally own a Toyota Starlet GT so i will be talking from my own experiences of the vehicle and the knowledge i have gained from the clubs i am a member of. I will provide you with the website address's of both clubs near the end of my review. I bought my GT this year for £4500 but i had a few extra goodies with mine such a parcel shelf speakers from the factory, factory door speakers, parking pole etc. as well as it being a clean example with low mileage (60,000). You can get the cars from private sellers for cheaper but without a warranty, i recommend buying from an approved importer/dealer so you have a warranty and some comeback in the event of anything bad happening. First of all i will talk about the performance of the starlet GT. 0-60 times are logged in the book as 6.8 but i can tell you it sure feels alot faster. The tuning potential of these cars is amazing considering it only has a 133bhp 1.3 litre turbocharged engine and has the capability to be tuned to well over 200bhp, power which is equal to much larger cars such as the vauxhall Astra VXR and a few Subaru Impreza wrx's.

The key to the performance of the GT is its weight. When toyota created it, weight was a huge factor in the process. The starlet weighs 860kg so has a great power to weight ratio. The build quality of the engine is brilliant and if looked after correctly and regularly maintained it will last the life of the car. The turbo model in the GT is the Toyota CT9 (dual mode boost). This basically means you can choose the power output from the turbo, low being 0.45bar and high being 0.65bar. The cool air which the turbo requires is provided by a TMIC (top mounted intercooler) which sits directly on top of the engines rocker cover.
The air is fed into the intercooler from the bonnet scoop, another great thing about the car. The engine has a factory BOV (blow off valve) or as referred to by some a dump valve. The factory BOV is a re-circulating unit and suits the CT9 turbo nicely but if you are planning any engine or turbo upgrades i would highly recommend an aftermarket unit such as a Blitz SuperSound or HKS. For you readers who are not familiar with this jargon i am proposing, a BOV releases pressure caused by the turbo and vents it to the atmosphere. This is why some cars will make a "whoosh" noise when the car changes gear.

The appearence of the Starlet GT is a real head turner, this is the only way i can describe this little pocket rocket to you, or as some call it, "rice rocket". From the front you have an aggresive look which is compiled of the colour coded door mirrors, a bonnet scoop which is located in the middle, centred grill with the "GT" badge emblazoned, and a sporty looking front bumper with fog lights. The rest of the body styling is suited to the front view with the rear having a sporty bumper, and a dual exit exhaust. On both driver and passenger doors you have the words "GT Turbo" embossed. The car came in a range of colours such as metallic silver, white, and black. These are the most popular colours but some other limited edition colours were produced. There was also an option for two tone colured models.
The interior of the car is still acceptable today in terms of colour schemes and upholstery patterns. It comprises of sporty front seats with a tasteful section missing in the headrest area, both front seats are fully adjustable, back and forth and recliner positions (operated by 2 levers which are at a comfortable arms length). In the centre console of the dashboard area we have 3 push type buttons, from left to right, the first being Hi/Lo mode for the turbo boost, second is the hazard lights, and third being the rear window de-mister. Below this we have different air settings, you can choose from face, face and feet, feet, front window de-mist, and circulate. Further down we have the pull knob which dictates the air temperature (Cold<<<>>>Hot). Then to the side of this there is another pull knob know which has the options Off/Auto/Lo/Hi (air on or off etc). Directly under these buttons there is 2 more, one for Air conditioning and the other for E-con. Below this we have the cd player or cassete deck, dual cup holder, hidden pullout compartment, cigarette lighter, and lastly the ashtray.

The steering wheel has a nice feel and the build quality is really good, it feels nice to hold, your hands dont sweat against it on long journeys and it has a good position. You can alter the position from a lever just below the wheel. Looking face on into the instrument cluster we have (left to right) a fuel gauge, speedo, Turbo Boost Gauge, Revs gauge, and engine temperature. The dashboard doesn't look or feel cheap and "plasticy". It has a good build quality and there doesnt seem to be much chance of it cracking in sunlight like some cars. Surprisingly the interior is rather spacious for a small car, and the back seats are very comfortable. The gear stick sits quite high up in comparison to other cars but it gives you a feeling of control i would say. The speakers are located in the lower dash and are 10cm in diameter, but as a factory option you could have chosen door speakers, which are 13cm in diameter and give a better sound.
The car is great to drive, the clutch is nice and light and the bite is easy to get used too, the transition from gear to gear is smooth with no jerkiness and the engine sound is quiet (unless you decide to drop a gear, employ the turbo, and boost away like a bat out of hell!!!). Fuel economy is great considering the car is a turbo. You can expect 300+miles from one full tank of fuel with the low boost setting and driving sensibly. Sensibly meaning changing gears smoothly, keeping revs below 3000rpm, and having a mixture of motorway and street driving. I have filled up the tank a good few times and i can squeeze in about £30 but it depends on your local garage petrol prices i guess.

The succesor of the GT is called a Toyota Glanza which has the exact same engine (4-EFTE), gearbox, chassis etc but the newer version weighs in at 920kg which is 60kg heavier than the GT and performs the sprint of 0-60 in 7.2 seconds. The main factor in this 0.4 difference is the Glanza has turbo boost restriction in the 1st and 2nd gears, but it is common knowledge amongst enthusiasts that this safety measure can be easily over-ridden. This model has the same power output as the starlet GT at 133bhp and also uses the CT9 turbo. Dont get me wrong at all about the GT/Glanza turbo, it is small in size so there is not much turbo lag (delay experienced when waiting for the exhaust gases to spin the turbine before boost comes on) but it runs out of power at about 80-90 but both cars will pull you to 130mph if you have had it de-restricted from 112mph. Remember both the cars are Japanese imports and they leave the factory restricted.
Some features the Starlet GT came with were Air Con, Electric mirrors, Power Steering, climate control, 14" lightweight alloys, front strut brace. (strut brace is a device which is fitted to the rear of the engine bay to reduce sway in the chassis and provide better handling).

Below i have gave some useful website address's for you if your interested in These cars.
Clubs/Online community : www.ukstarletclub.com
www.ToyotaGTturbo.com

Car 0-60 comparison:
TOYOTA STARLET GT = 6.8 seconds
Audi TT quattro 1.8T 180PS = 7.3 seconds
Mini cooper S = 7.2 seconds
VW Golf VR6= 6.7 seconds

[Crunkers]

Cheers Heliosphan for that.

Thanks Jap for that bit of info

Jap crap = GOOD crap

I don't understand why people hate Jap cars...?

Maybe because its a French-car forum? Simply because they can't stand how well engineered, reliable and long-lasting Japanese cars are. Unfortunate but ah well. Jap car drivers don't mind, we know better ;)
