  1. yeah I used to just put it through the door seal and pull on the handle twice with the hanger and it popped open.. Only other way without causing damage to the car would be try and hook the wire coat hanger round the boot opening catch and go in through the boot

    ive got a wiper delete, any way that could help to get in?

  2. Long wire coat hanger in through the drivers door hook it round the passenger door handle and pull it open had to do it loads of times because of my stupid alarm

    through the door seal? and unfortunately I can't open the doors from the inside when its locked, would disconnecting one battery terminal and reconnecting it quick jog the alarm?

  3. Yeah same silly quotes, cheapest on go compare was over £3k if I remember correctly. No pass plus but I do have a years no claims bonus, it is possible. Give it a go on the LV website, I didn't believe it at first until I rang them to confirm the information and got the papework through haha!

    Thanks so much man got a quote of £2000 on a glanza v with no ncb Really appreciate the help 8)

    yeah i sent u a dm on it, ill have a look on lv now man cheers

  5. very hard to compare as the ignis was on coilovers and the starlet on springs. and its been such a long time since i drove a starlet NA :/ brother-in-law has a forged glanza which was on cusco coilovers for a while and it handled like it was on rails. :D

    The ignis felt like a go kart when hooning it around the B-roads ( all within the law ) yet a nice daily driver, 2years ownership, 94k miles and the only issue I had was tires!

    The starlet handled great on springs and with some further suspension mods would have been brilliant, i had that 2years brought on 110K sold at 128K had new clutch, injectors, alternator, 3temp sensors

    But you know what.... I miss that car everyday :( there is just something about owning a starlet, Glanza or GT once you have had one you will always end up going back

    BUY A STARLET!!! and when your in the right insurnance age bracket you can turbo it ;)

    Cheers for the info man its really helped and ill let u know if i get one :)

    Look for an as standard glanza as possible, and just get as many quotes as you can (but be sure they know its an import turbo) i'm 18, 19 next month and i have a glanza V, postcode is a huge factor so that helped me out a huge amount, also having a parent on your insurance as a named driver reduces the insurance. I ended up getting a quote for less than £1.5k from LV (i know not the best insurer but was the cheapest by far). As long as you make double sure they know what it is and live in a good postcode area it is still feasible to own a glanza.

    Thanks for the reply man,

    so it is possible, did u get the same stupid quotes through comparison websites? im gonna ring around and find out, i live out in the country but live near wigan ect... so we'll see. did you have any ncb, pass plus?

  6. My two :)

    Personally I always missed my na and wanted it back lol as for mods .... Starlet every time as parts for the ignis are rare and expensive and DTN manifold will set you back £700-800 :-/ and coilovers used are like rocking horse poo I found a set but they were in Switzerland ( or that way haha ) and had to wait months for them, ITB's are £1500, LSD's.... Never seen a used one only new available!

    Soo buy a starlet as parts are more readily available and cheaper :)

    James

    cheers yeah i was thinking the same on the parts line, would prob strip out the starlet and cage it with some corbeau and coilovers. how did they compare on the driving front?

    Thanks :)

  7. Starlet na's are great cars and reliable as hell I've also owned an ignis sport which again was brilliant but insurance on the iggy was more than the starlet because of the 0.2 displacement lol

    James

    wow some one whos owend both iggy and starlet your a rare breed, i test drove a iggy loved it and got a quote under my mum with me as the main driver for £1400 (being a civil engineer puts its up for some reason) but want to try and build up my ncb. what would you do and which one was better to own?

    thanks james
