My mate had one of these lightweight Glanza'. Any idea on how much lighter they are than a Standard Glanza.

29 - Standard Silver Glanza V Turbo

Hi mate Mine is completely standard and silver, but minus the sticker, plus i work in Leeds and pass by Leeds uni every so often. I don't see many around Leeds though.

hi mate any luck with finding a Glanza as i remember you were fairly interested in mine Thanks Ady

Hi mate that was a v quick reply, but how did you reply back to me when your not logged on at the moment??? it shows that i'm the only person logged on I've pm'd you with more details I do have somebody else interested on it from here just to let you know. Thanks Ady

Hi mate Are you wanting a standard model or modified Mine is completely standard and might be selling soon, first owner in the UK and mature (29 year old). Thanks Ady

Hi all I know this may be a bit of a stupid question, but is it ok to use Castrol GTX Magentic 10W 40 oil for the Glanza (Manual). Its like a dark green coloured packaging for it. I've just come across a full 5 litres of it yesterday whilst just tidying up in the storage room. I must've purchaed it back in end of last year. Thanks

I have my original console with games stored away somewhere. I had the bigger version of the console which came with Super Hang On and Safari Hunt built in, also came with a gun for shooting games. Anyone remember Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse on there, one of my fave games on that console.

Hi mate The guy from Todoroki-Trading seems a good bloke and always replies quickly to emails, i was really tempted to import one from him, but i found and purchased one from someone else who had just imported it. What kinda spec are you looking or are you wanting a standard model. Just be weary of what you get sent is what you'll have. I've heard a few negative stories about people importing Glanza's which seem fine on the sites they are advertised on, but once they've got here, they have had problems such as blown or leaking turbos, dodgy paint work (probs accident damaged), slipping clutc

hi mate are u wanting to buy standard or modified might be selling mine soon if your interested, fully standard and mature owner (29 years old) only owned by me in the UK since it arrived.

hi mate If you go on www.quinn-direct.co.uk they have the Glanza listed on there, i think nobody else does as i went through the same situation as you. I've run my Glanza on Tesco Super Unleaded and that does the job fine. I think you can get a good one for around £4000 - £4500, although i had somebody interested in my completely standard on one here and i was selling at £3750 (just waiting to here from him) and mine has approx 55,000 miles on it. Do you want to buy standard or modified? I've had no problems with mine so far, it runs very well and does me very good econ

Hello all I think it would be good to say that Glanza's should be holding their value and maybe increasing slightly. The reason for this is that currently the conversion rate for £1 is 190 Japanese Yen, where as a few months ago it as £1 to 225 Japanese Yen. I was going to import an RX7 but as a result of this i'm having to pay an extra £450 for the actual cost of the car excluding all the relevant costs. This also means that traders importing cars will be pricing them higher than they did a few months ago in order to make up their costs and make a bit of profit. A

hi mate Just send u a pm. Thanks Ady

Hi mate Personally i find standard the best as its more likely they've not been driven hard. I viewed 4 Glanza's and purchased the 4th one which is totally standard and drives very well. When i viewed the others, i just felt they didn't perform as they should have done and all were modified in some way. Thanks Ady

Is the sale a private or trade sale, how much are you willing to spend and are you buying standard or modified. Its highly unlikely you'll get any service history with the car if its just come in from Japan. However you should get an MOT document, if its got MOT that is and maybe a car registration document.

Not sure how much he paid for it, but he said thats its defo quick for what is it and probs quicker than a standard Manual Glanza.

Sorry forgot to mention, but on the front where is says Glanza, there is not Glanza written and is just a clear grill.

Whats the reason for it being called the poverty spec Glanza, i presume it may have something to do with no electrics.

Hello all A friend of mine has recently purchased a fresh imported Glanza in white, however when i had a look at it, there were things on it which were different to other manual Glanzas. First of all it didn't have any electric mirrors or electric windows (just the wind up and down ones). Just behind the left headlight under the bonnet there is quite a big gap there, easily enough space to put a battery. He told me that its a lightweight model (i presume it may be slightly lighter) its on a 1998 plate. The rest of the car is all standard apart from a dump valve. Has anybody else come acros

Many thanks Was curious just to know, thats all

Hello all Does anyone know on what the gear ranges are in terms of what kph or mph i can do in each of the 5 gears. Please state the full range for a standard Glanza V Turbo, whether is in high or lo boost and if your stating mph or kph. For example, on my previous 1.1 litre Ford Fiesta mark 3 they were as follows as stated in the original manual. (Please note these are the absolute minimum and maximum speeds the car could've have been driven in each gear. 1st gear: 0mph - 21mph 2nd gear: 3mph - 41mph 3rd gear: 15mph - 60mph 4th gear: 21mph - 82mph 5th gear: 24mph - 101mph Many thanks

Hello all I got home from work last night to find my tyre completely flat, and thought that it was a slow puncture. However i took it along to the tyre shop this morning and there wasn't a puncture, the guy who inspected the tyre showed me the valve had split from the tyre and this was proved through the tyre dipped in water and bubbles coming up from the valve. He simply changed the valve and away i drove. However what i'm confused about is how the valve cut split from the tyre. I checked the air in the tyre about 10 days ago and it was fine. Any ideas on what might have caused this? Many

Hello all Since i've purchased my Glanza i've used Tesco's super unleaded. This is costing me 105.9p per litre. However i've heard that if you use V Power fuel then you'll see a difference in terms of the mpg you get. I dont know if it'll make much of a difference overall as V Power is 111.9p a litre near where i live, so i'll be paying more and getting less in the tank. Has anyone experienced this year or seen any other difference when using another brand of super unleaded. Any information much appreciated. Many thanks

Yes i do, but i've been tempted by some of the modified examples. I can get a modified example for the same price of what i paid for my standard one which includes all the relevant costs excluding insurance and road tax.

Hi mate I try to go on your website, but the work computer wont view it as the computer needs updating and only admin can do that. Anyways pm me with details of prices and how much you charge for Glanza's and other popular Japanese imports, if thats ok Many thanks
