Thank you for your comment, I might take the gamble then.

Hi I'm looking at buying my 4th glanza after 8 years without one.

I am looking at getting a high powered one 270bhp+ because I'm 30 now even at this power insurance is cheap all mods declared.

My question is how long are your gearboxes actually lasting at this sort of power? I have noticed gearboxes are a lot more expensive then they user to be due to them getting rarer. Last thing I want is to be swapping the gearbox every other month.

Thanks

Craig

Well I think I'm having an early midlife crisis. Between the ages of 18 and 21 I had 3 starlet turbos, I'm now coming up to 30 and I'm set on getting another.

Since having my starlets I've had many nice fast cars of cars including mx5 turbos, rx8, integra, s2000 and even a busa powered kit car. Other than the kit car (which i cant get another due to now having motorbikes in the garage) nothing has compared to a fast starlet for excitement and fun.

I have got my eye on one but if this doesnt work out I'm just wondering what else is out there? Have any of you got plans to sell who haven't already advertised? I'm not interested in standard cars, I want plenty of mods already on there for me to carry on developing, ideally want something that's forged and td04'd but will consider other well sorted cars but if it's on standard internals I don't want anything with excessive mileage.

I would prefer a glanza but I would be swayed for the right GT.

It would be a hassle free sale as I have money in the bank waiting so if your thinking of selling and reckon I would be interested give me a shout!

Cheers

Craig

yeah,

He should get done on a number of things. driving with no insurance to add to the list....

ive known he was dodgy for ages, but whenever i said id get shot down!

well ive had a number of dealings with the guy including buying a car and i have had no problems (altho it was his personal car i bought) so i have always stook up for him.

boy do i feel silly now...

sadly this is now up for sale due to financial difficulties going to really miss her but hopefully ill be back with another next autumn

No worries just seen it on TGTT

RIP mate your in a better place now

little update, we have over 60 jap cars coming now, a burger van and a possibility of magazines. get yourself down should be a good day we want as many people as possible.

Very nice car. It looks very similar to my bros (Keirz) though.

ah well not for too long, its a work in progress over the next year or so eventually want it to look something like this:

looks smart i really like it mate - good work there

Nice ride R u a member from TGTT? think i recognise the car. Looks like alot of work done to it, must be good to have the extra power

yeah i am ;) ive only just come on here today really, ive heard its a good community i just dont think the site is as user friendly as tgtt.

that rocker cover is ultimately gorgeous

thanks needs redoing tho... the paint i used is shit, got a bit of oil on it and its took the paint off... thinking of gettin it powdercoated instead.

yeah ill hopefully be taking alot of pics of my progress over winter ;)

thanks for the comments

Ive Done spending big money on it for this year, im taking it off road for the winter to respray the skirts and front bumper - possibly smoothing over the boot lid where i have removed the wiper and respraying that and i will also retinting the windows as there getting a bit tacky, should look a lot tidier for the new year ;)
