what do people mean when they talk about boost?

also what is the 0.8bar and 1.0bar everyone is talking about?

i know its something to do with the turbo and all, but me never having a turbo car, ive not needed to know about it ;)

also when people say, " if u continuously boost" or "if your always on boost"

WTF IS BOOST?

what do people mean when they talk about boost?

if i buy a glanza, do i need a turbo timer with it?

iirc the timer just makes the engine cool down better so the turbo last longer?

corect me if im wrong.

Also, do i need anything else because of having a turbo to make it run better and last longer?

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

very intereted, what year, mileage ect? i'll take that off ya hands ;)

it is possible. i assume you've read the "insurance" thread?

someone said, but i couldnt find it.

im a newb

oh. forgot to mention. welcome to UKSC

Thanks.

i just want insurance on a glanza

Well you still have a few problems i can see

1. the turbo is probably the most premium enhancing mod in existence

2. a glanza is an import an SR is not.

yes getting the covernote changed will mean it reads correct. but it would be illegal to drive it without letting the insurance company know it had a turbo. if the police clocked it they could give you 6 points there and then for driving without valid insurance. its best to get it done properly.

Adrian flux are good i hear. or sky insurance, quinn. give em a try.

so which insurance companies can i try that wil actually quote me under £1500 being 19 and 2 years NCB??

ive tried aplan, getting sky to phone back, havnt yet tried adrian flux ( arent they rip of merchients? *sp* )

Anyone else that will actually give me a quote?

Firsty Welcome to the board

All Glanza's currently on UK road have been imported at some time. They were only availible in the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). When a car comes over it has to go through an SVA (eSVA if 10 Years old or younger) and an MOT. Once a car has passed this it then must be registered with the DVLA. When registered it will be given a Registration Number (Plate). Only then can it be "technically" legal to drive although I do know that it is possible to insure a car based on Chassis number alone.

If you buy a car from a private seller or import car dealer it will no doubt be registered and road legal thus meaning you don't/won't need to do anything to use it.

I got my Glanza when I was 19 and I had 0 NCB and i insured it for < £1000 Fully Comp. Shop around through specialist insurance companies (A-Plan, Adrian Flux etc) as most "traditional" insurers (Admiral, Elephant, Tesco etc) won't have a clue what the car is. Be aware that insuring the car as a "1996/97/98/99 Starlet GT" or a "Starlet SR" is FRAUD as the vehicle is NOT a Starlet GT/SR. This will make your insurance void if you have an accident. I know you don't have to claim if you have an accident but what happens if a kid runs out, you hit him and he sue's you. Your insurance company could say "We're not paying due to false decleration at the beginning of the policy". A performance insurance company will either know what the car is or list a "Starlet GT" if they only list the GT explain a Glanza is effectivly the EXACT same car, it has just been facelifted and is safer.

Your budget is kinda low, although I've not looked at Glanza prices for years. They are coming down in price and becoming more availible You will find a reasonable car for your £3500 but if you pay anything less than around £3000 you'll be buying a rough/possibly accident damaged/fucked engined car.

Hope this helps.

who insured u at 19 with 0ncb for £1000 fully comp?

help

check in the Car for sale section mate.

Also check www.toyotagtturbo.com and check that for sale section

are the glanzas from here or that other site, going to be more likely better condition than say pistonheads or ebay?

What you all got?

im new to this site and want to get in on the action.

PM me with what ya'll got please.

or add me on msn @ - Nerosis_is_god@hotmail.com

Thanks folks

YES! wrong, illegal and essentially not insured. your car has a TURBO Something an SR doesnt have and as such you would need to add a tubby to modifications at least i would say. not sure on that part but don't even think bout insuring it as an SR

What if they change it to a GLanza on the Covernote and Certifiticate?

most insurance companies dont list a glanza, just say its a 97/97/98 starlet gt.

thats what i did, then just got them to change it to glanza on the cover note.

sowhat do i say when i ask them to change it on the cover note?

generally when you buy from an importer they will handle all that faff. so you should basically need insurance tax and your ready to go

Anyone got an insurance companies for a glanza?

Because my insurance company,when i quoted a glanza reg, they said it was a Starlet SR.

wouold it be wrong to go ahead and get that insurance with them saying my glanza was an SR?

heya dude, welcome to the forum, you won't need to do much if its an import providing you haven't imported it youself, with 19 2 years ncb you should be able to a resonable insurance quote. you should be able to pick a nice one up for 3500!

Surely every glanza was imported at 1 point?

What does the import thing mean to the car, and the insurance of the car?

also, what do i do with an import? will it have plates? will i have to register it?

i dont get the import part?

also, anyone else o here 19 and insured on a glanza?

im very very looking into getting a glanza - hopefully a white 1

first this is, if its am import, what do i have to do to the car to be able to drive it?

Also, im 19 with 2 years driving and 2 year ncb -What kinda prices am i going to be looking at for a standard glanza?

HELP

I really really really want glanza.

ps - Also, does anyone have a glanza for sale, my budget it between £2500 - 3500

pm me with details or reply

Thanks
