jamiemce Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Put a deposit down on a Glanza (the reason why I am sitting in on Saturday night to write this!) which is currently not far from my home town of Paisley. It's fresh import in East Kilbride, here's some pictures from the ad: Seems to be completely standard from what I can see other then Tein springs being fitted by the import company I had a lovely DC2 98 spec integra before this which was unfortunately written off, still feel terrible about it I bought a 116i with the insurance money and I instantly regretted it! Thought I'd go for something sensible but it's just not for me at all so it has to go! Still for sale if anyone is interested. Can't wait to pick up the Glanza in a couple of weeks!

burty Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Looks great will look even better once springs are on kept seeing it on pistoheads not many around like that 3750 was a fair asking price i thought good buy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamiemce Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Cheers boys! Yeah I kept trying to find something wrong with it but I couldn't so thought why not go for it. The garage is giving it a full service; belts, tensioners, engine oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs and new water pump all included for the asking price. They've also offered to fit HKS exhaust, air filter and actuator for £600 but I just can't afford that right now unfortunately! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamiemce Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Never realised that's a rare option. Not seen it in person but I thought the wood looked pretty horrible if I'm honest haha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cattanach Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Welcome buddy!Good to see more starlets going about Scotland! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamiemce Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 New parts I'm guessing, got them to put on the air filter and actuator for £120 so not too bad, can get an exhaust when I can afford it later plus dont mind fitting that myself. Wouldn't be as confident with changing the actuator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) If they are new parts then cool that's a good deal but if they are second hand they might of been on the car in the first place and the garage got hold of standard exhaust to put on and springs, I would ask are they all new parts they are offering to fit. You still got it at a good price though for a trader:) Edited January 25, 2016 by mart1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamiemce Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I never even thought of that. They've been brilliant to deal with so far, answered all my questions and gave me plenty of options and a bit of leighway while I sell my own car. Will obviously be waiting till I get the car for a couple of weeks but so far I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamiemce Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Had an update from the garage and it should be ready for pick up on Saturday, can't wait! Also bought an exhaust off of Garmstrong off here which will be here this week too, good guy to buy from Looking into buying a boost gauge to fit as well, any recommendations or is it pretty much you get what you pay for?

Johnboy GT Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Good news! You can get a mechanical boost or an electrical one. I've got prosport electrical ones to fit but m using a meh animal one just now.John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SKINY Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 looks tidy but like mine it has a starlet sticker on the bootlid ? mine is only a rep but its a proper Glanza complete boot hmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think it's been converted? Good news! You can get a mechanical boost or an electrical one.

SKINY Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Don't know mate, I've seen a good few the same now. Mine has Glanza v on the left side and starlet on the right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamiemce Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I'm a bit confused what you're meaning mate? This one has Glanza V on the left (can't see it on that picture there) and starlet on the right, I think that's normal is it not? Also the garage received the wrong dials to convert to MPH so it's delayed till next weekend itching to get this Edited February 6, 2016 by jamiemce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
