  1. Hi guys, After finally getting an insurance quote that is reasonable im looking for a relatively standard glanza v. I don't mind if the car needs a bit of paintwork but I would like one that is mechanically sound and has MOT I am based in essex so would like something relatively close although I will travel for the right car. Thanks
  2. Saw a white Glanza today on the m11 was driving with a e36 bmw. Car sounded sweet
  3. This is a lovely looking car! I've taken a look at the website and it looks quite good. Did you get someone to inspect the car out there before buying it or just take a gamble?
  4. Saw a white glanza v and black glowbadge gt in maldon tesco, essex. I very much enjoyed the turbo flutter. I was in the ep3 type r at the top of the car park
  5. Hi guys! Im looking to jump into the starlet ownership and am after a relatively standard glanza v. I don't mind a few mods like exhausts,fmic ,wheels etc. Im looking for one with up to 100k Miles, a good amount of service history and at least 6 months MOT. I am based in Essex and am willing to travel for up to 2 hours each way. Obviously if the car has a small build thread or the owner is a reputable member on the forum I would be more inclined to purchase it. Please private message me or post details below. Thanks Mugzy
  6. Saw a white gt flying about before the police showed up. Had a bit of a weird number plate and sounded mean when boosting! Lovely car
  7. You guys are doing a good job at convincing me that i only need the one car! Really im looking for 200bhp on standard internals either from a ct9 hybrid/td04 is there any accompanying mods that i should look at to really help me maximize the reliability? Thanks for the help!
  8. Thanks a lot for your input guys! I believe the starlet could probably manage it quite easily but being in the IT industry I do visit quite a lot of clients in different places. For example i sometimes end up in brighton or southampton and although the starlet isn't much older than the fiesta im not sure I would want to arrive in a very loud in your face car. Also its whether modified insurers allow business insurance as well because I would need it for travelling about
  9. Thanks mate did see that there! Unfortunately they don't insure under 21's from what I can see. Although there is no harm in trying
  10. Hi guys, Im only a few month away from buying my first Glanza V and im really looking forward to buying it! Currently im just driving a mk5 fiesta zetec s to and from work which is around a 40 mile round trip. I decided that is probably to far for a Glanza everyday so will be putting it in the garage and driving it at weekends. At the time of purchasing the car i'll be 20 and have 2 years no claims. What I was looking to do is put the Glanza v and the fiesta on the same policy but have around a 3000 mile limit on the Glanza and 12000 on my fiesta . I was just wondering if anyon
  11. Sorry for the late reply! I was playing football in Melbourne park and I stopped dead just to listen to it! I think ive seen your's before. I myself am looking at buying a starlet hence im on here finding out about them before i purchase one! I only live in danbury so not far from chelmsford so if i get one i'll more than happily come out and about
  12. Saw/Heard you at around 1:30Pm today going past the big block of flats in melbourne. Had a spoiler in the middle of the boot, car was black sounded really good.
  13. Yep I suppose I'll just have to take my time which is something I was planning on doing anyway. If something appears and its not great I'm in no rush to buy it so will happily leave it alone. My Dad is a mechanic so i'm sure he will have an input plus everything I've picked up from being on here in the last 4 months!
  14. I suppose your right thinking about, i'm sure there will be some problems but that's part of the fun!
  15. Yeah this is what i'm worried about mainly. Could I perhaps carry out a compression test before buying? May help a bit. Obviously oil changes, servicing etc would need to be documented for me to buy it anyway but that doesn't mean the engine hasn't been abused
  16. Yeah could sense he was a shady character and the forums confirmed it. Really Im looking to chase 200ish BHP from either ct9 hybrid/Td04. I suppose the first step would be to ensure engine health is at its best and then go from there. Thanks
  17. Hi guys, I have been a member on here for quite a few months and am yet to purchase a starlet. I was close to buying one and found out it was some slipper wearing scammer that I'm glad I avoided. Since then I have spent ages reading thread after thread and still haven't been able to commit to buying one. Currently I am used to messing around with N/A cars pumaed fiestas and hondas mainly. Thus im not to clued up on the turbo side of things such as the boost controllers, wastegates etc.. My plan is to buy a starlet in the summer and carry out all the reliability mods i can a
  18. has it? ive only just joined is there something wrong with it then?
  19. Yeah im gonna take a look at it soon just waiting for the guy to get back to me
  20. I have actually moved onto another car as it turned out the first one I was looking at was a bit too modified for me. Here is the car im currently look at and the spec. Ct9 Turbo Front Mount Intercooler OEM Front Strut brace HKS Actuator HKS Dump valve Full Stainless Steel exhaust system with 3" backbox Lowered all round 2x OEM Toyota wind deflectors Rear windows tinted 15" Rota alloy wheels sprayed cherry red x4 good tyres Yellow tinted foglights TRD leather gear knob
  21. I did not know that! Thanks Here to learn haha
  22. Thanks for the advice guys! Im not looking for bundles of power! The car im looking at already has two preloaded boost settings one low one just above normal i think. Should be suitable for changing when i drive to work as well as having a bit of a blast!
  23. thats what i was thinking of doing! run it until it goes! Not looking for massive power anyway 200bhp max. Thanks for your help guys
  24. haha okay different opinions haha. TD04 it is then?
