i no its abit of a marmite car, but they are great fun and you just cant beat the sound of a turbo on boost

heres some pics havent got meny at the moment

plans for it is to refurb alloys or get some Rota's, get front splitter, maybe coilovers, and a few bits to make it look better and more tidy

Must feel weird going from a good handling car to a one that just doesn't handle at all, always liked these and looks good

Where did you bring it from?

I think they're just retarded.

Nice micra

[Davyy]

These are pretty cool.. definitely a car you must have at one point.

[k2thecsaxo]

great looking example have always wanted to have a go in one of these!

[MartinObviously]

Looks great!

Do they not run out of puff at about 100mph though? but absolutely fly up to it?

[Davyy]

What are the stats on these roughly??

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Looks a nice clean example buddy.

Anyone that thinks these are slow, clearly hasn't driven one.

Nobody said they were slow.

[Davyy]

Had a little look up on them and in standard form seem pretty slow. 133bhp and 0-60 8.2 secs, modded to 180bhp easily though which would be fun.

Aren't they speed limited as standard anyway? a VTS would pass it before 1/2 mile.

I know someone with a boosted one, it can do almost 300HP.

It's still out of puff at 130mph... It just gets to 130 quite quickly. Can't put the power down either, so it's only really fast above 70/80mph (similar to C20LET getting beat on the 1/4 mile by a standard VTS), and slicks on the road are illegal so you can't win. They're still by no means slow, but they're not what I would define as "fast" either.

Saying that, what would you expect from a 1.3 And it'll be more reliable, probably. Definitely a step up from a saxo

What a load of tosh! A C20LET being beaten by a standard VTS? Wake up ffs.

As for knowing someone with a "Boosted one", all Glanza V Turbos are boosted. On top of that, how do you "do" almost 300bhp?

Glanzas are very capable cars. They can push big power (For a 1.3) and they actually handle pretty well as they weigh almost nothing.

A lot of shit in this thread.

Jay is correct great little cars and as long as you don't have silly size wheels they handle good, just a pain in the arse to work on tiny little bay full of big parts.

I was awake, they just spin up on road tyres. Round a track, yes faster but not on a sprint.

I meant boosted above stock. It's got a manual boost controller, so the boost can vary. So the peak power is almost 300HP.

You've just repeated what I said already 300hp is "big" power for a 1.3...

Did you even read my last post?

I'm not even bothering to reply...

To the OP, I love these. They're awesome little cars and a lot of people aren't even aware of what they are.

I'd be tempted to ditch the kit and run standard Starlet bumpers. Serious sleeper. However, the kit looks to good to ditch. They look fantastic.
