I think our grandparents will be very comfortable in one.

A tidy V, I look forward to seeing where this goes! 🙂

I seen that, and it doesn't look to be in terrible shape either, colour scheme isn't my thing but that's just personal preference. I lucked out the other week on this one, somebody beat me to it. Do you have a build page?

Yeah that's something which is concerning me, I'm currently in the market to buy (a struggle as it is) however when I finally find and buy is it going to be that much of a nightmare when things go wrong/need replacing.

There's another immaculate one for £8k on pistonheads with 40k miles on the clock, give it 5 years and I'm sure it'll be up around that price too.

It's been sat there for quite a few years now

Nice one dude. Look forward to seeing what you do with her!

I appreciate your thoughts on this as wasn't aware of the Td04 head gasket issues (please excuse my ignorance). I did wonder if the 300+bhp monsters offen created have almost gone too far and as much as its awesome initially the novelty runs dry and so owners part with them (going back to my first query of parting with a car quickly after spending so much creating). I had in mind the reason people seen the Civic Type-R as so much fun was because although it's not massively powerful it could always be driven on the edge, which is what hot hatches are all about in my opinion.

Pretty much as soon as I'd created this post I'd gained my answer, some people get lucky and some people don't, no matter how you drive your car (sorry to hear about yours callum122). I'm currently in the market to buy a glanza but feel steering clear of a forged might be a better option then, reckon a well looked after Td04 or 05 would do just fine, and if I wanted to take that risk down the line it's completely on my terms.

I feel like it's a bit luck of the draw which is fair when putting so much power through a small engine

9 years is brilliant, where did you have the work done?

Question answered!

Hi, I see quite a few forged engines with big specs being sold after very few miles being put on them (2000-3000 miles). Is there a reason for this? Thank you in advance!

Hi all, I've been interested in these cars since around 18 years old and now at 31 I've finally found myself in the position to take the plunge and so I'm looking for a well looked after Glanza. Not looking to use as a daily, more of something to care for and enjoy. Looking to spend up to £6500. Please let me know if you have anything going. Many thanks, Ben
