haha mart1, yes mate, wanna avoid that at all costs lol. Matt1986, that's a beautiful car fella, you've done a good job there, looks great! Talk about inspiration ey.. I plan to get mine looking as clean as yours. Any pics under the hood and more of the back end? Can you give me some more info on the second rear lower spoiler? I like that alot, want one for mine! As Mart1 mentioned, headrests look good too. Are they a straight fit from a suzuki?

Lovely car in great condition! Good luck with the build mate, look forward to seeing what you do with it.

i will when I get a chance pal, I've paid for the car and got the paperwork but haven't been able to bring it back to mine yet as my parents don't know. They will be super angry as I've already got two cars so planning to take it a friend to get MOT and tidy up the scrapes then bring it home. And hopefully have the Audi shifted by then haha.

Considering it has TRD suspension, and a TRD badge on the dash, would this indicate that this is a TRD tuned version? Or merely a novelty badge some Japanese geezer put on back in the day?

t'mill, yes I know what you mean. Hard to find a nice little turbo hot hatch these days. Especially the shit hot ones from the 80s and 90s. They're starting to fetch good money nowadays because modern day cars are boring as f***. Yes Mart1, I'm gonna throw some money at the handling. I'd rather not put mine and other peoples lives at risk when I'm trying to enjoy my car! I'd like to lower it (sensible height), invest in anti roll bars, caster kit, powerflex bushes and would like a good coilover set up. I'm not 100% sure but I think I have TRD coilovers on it atm but failed it's MOT because on

Haha turbo Uno's, always liked those! Unfortunately never been in one myself. Yeah, driven a few big cars but got to love a hot hatch. They're more fun and easy going. This is the first Glanza I've ever driven myself and I've gotta say, i am truly impressed. Ive heard they're brutal when tuned up but never expected them to be this much fun when stock. Great little cars.

t'mill thank you for the welcome fella. haha yeah mate, it's certainly quenched that go kart feeling I was so thirsty for! Nothing else even comes close Just can't wait to get this back on road now. Plan to give it a thorough going over and then start improving the handling and performance bit by bit.

Haha, it's all about smiles per gallon. I'm sure you'll enjoy it mate, they're nice motors. And i think it will make a great garden ornement on the weekdays

haha yeah I won't mind too much fella. Will be better than my Audi 80 1.8 giving me around 28-30mpg for some shit micra like performance. The 280ce will give me 15mpg and 20 on a good day haha.

haha Mart1, I'll probably be putting those pipes back in then haha.

Mart1, you've been great fella, thanks for the help! I really appreciate it. It seems as though I have some pipes missing rather then it being a by pass. I'll tidy that up then, nothing better than a free mod. I wondered why this thing was so quick even on lo boost haha. Would the performance not be the same even with hi/lo boost switch or does the system restrict flow even on hi boost? Matt, thank you for the humble welcome, I'm glad I've got another newbie to share the experience with haha. I would like to say what I paid but I would rather not as it's worth a lot more money than what

Thanks for dropping those links Mart1! Will certainly give them a read. Haha may set up a project page. I'm not planning anything too extravagant so don't want to look like a fool setting up a project thread for something not so exciting. When you say that the Auto box is good for about 200hp, is that a safe figure to work with? I would be aiming for 180-190HP and I reckon I'd be happy keeping an Auto box after the little spin I had today. It's different but it has won me over a little. Great fun and still can't get over how much fun this little pocket rocket is, even in it's standard form

Mart1, thanks for the warm welcome and kind words mate... this one popped up on ebay in Rothley, was less than 5 miles away so worked out well for me. Yeah, I imagine many people convert their autos to manuals so not many of them left. I don't blame them though, this is a drivers car and I'd personally like to have control over the gears whilst driving it. I was pleasantly surprised by the auto box in the Glanza, however, I'd imagine if I wanted tune the motor up to free up more power, I'd need to think about converting to a manual as stress on auto box would be too much?? Will probably le

Good evening Gents, I'm new to the site so will start with a small introduction to get the ball rolling. I love cars, classics and modern classics in particular. Don't want to bore you guys with the details but I have some ability to work on cars however more the older stuff with less of the electronics. My first car was a mk2 fiesta. Swapped the little 1 litre lawn mower engine out for an 1.6 XR engine and box. Nothing amazing but was a fun little car which I drove around for 3 years. Since then, I've had a Renault Clio, BMW 520i e39 and currently drive an Audi 80 Cabriolet 1.8. It's a good

I'm new here too. Good luck with the build! I've just bought one that's failed an MOT and has seen a lot of abuse. Start a thread and get some pics up with your progress, would be good to see.
