I can't tell you how much I want this car Looking sweet ;)

@ Dan Um I'll text you tomorrow, gonna go gym in the morning (if I can wake up lol) then I'll give you a shout! Probably around 3 though I'll come to yours if that's cool?

Ryan give it a rest All will be unveiled Saturday if I can get it done! ;) Yeah saw it a few months back looking rough as hell lol the owner was prepping it and I think it's just been sprayed now

That would be crazy! Saw a Del-Sol with an EK front recently, that was quite funky! No no don't have the cash for hubcentric spacers lol it's quite subtle

No it's not the fuel/running costs I'm worried about to be honest, its the cost of buying all the supporting mods to get it to 1Bar that puts me off compared to buying a readily modified V. However if I did buy one, I would then be stuck with an N/A that I wouldn't be happy with selling (I wouldn't get as much as I want, and would'nt have the heart to break her lol) I think I'm about 90% sure I'm going to go ahead with the conversion, should funds allow it

Nope lol But what headlight conversion were you thinking of? Glanza?

Not gonna be WOW, like those spats of yours but it's something you don't see very often on EPs

I really love this car

Welcome bro! Get some pics up of your motor! I'm pretty sure there are a few GT's breaking at the moment so take a peek in the classifieds section!

Trying my best to get a little exterior mod done in the next week which I've only seen once before Also...I keep having a nagging thought.. *Turbo it...Turbo it* ;)

Good luck with your new whip, I really loved the EP

Love it! P.s. Fake Attention Seekers sticker

Glanza S - 85bhp Paseo - 89bhp/95lbft Gen1 - 100bp

White FTW

Pendulum FTW Pendulum - Hold Your Colour

Looks mean as hell!

Thanks everyone for the input, really got me thinking now! That's a pretty useful insight for sure! Believe me I'd love to have a rebuilt/forged engine in the car, but seriously I wouldn't be able to afford that for years. Ideally I'd need a low mileage/reliable strong engine! I wouldn't be able to buy a TD12 kit or ECU for a long time if I go ahead with this, I'll be too poor after the conversion haha! Haha I really want to now! It's either buying a Glanza in 2 years for up to £4000 and not being able to spend any more, or just continue with this car, spending again a max of £3500-4000 to get it EXACTLY how I want.. Definitely, I would certainly keep it CT9 powered for a while! As above, I wouldn't be able to afford a new Turbo kit for a LONG time lol.. The only thing is, I'd want to have all the supporting mods like FMIC, Actuator, FPR, FCD, Mani, Decat & Exhaust. It's the cost of buying those parts that is a contributory factor that makes me want to buy a modified V rather than convert my car! It was mad! Auto GT at 1Bar, albeit with a leaking mani and running rich yet it was unbelievably quick! I later found out I was only driving it on low boost! Hey Gaz! Yeah I know what you're saying! I wouldn't be in any rush to be honest, cheap as possible would be best for me. What I'm trying to do (also the purpose of this thread), is to figure out whether I should just stop spending on this car and save up for a V in a few years, or plan a conversion perhaps in the next year or two (if I don't end up having to spend to much when I go away to uni this year!). If you wanted me to wait until you found a car for cheap and buy that for parts, I'd be more than happy to do so! I don't really know anyone personally that could help me do it myself, or anything. It won't be easy trying to get the cash together believe me! But I'd like the work to be guaranteed and done by reputable tuners like yourselves! As a student I really don't want to own a car that could go pop at any time so reliability would be paramount really! If anyone else has any suggestions please feel free to add to the thread!

Any decisions on rims? I quite like the ones above!

Thought it didn't look battered lol, good job so far, it looks sweet! Definitely, £1600 is amazing for what you have! Lol it's a 6P2 which would be perfect if I ever wanted to swap parts over! Cool see you there man!

Okay it's doing my head in now, and I wanna figure out a plan! (I like to think ahead ) Basically drove a 1 Bar GT the other week and it blew me away, properly craving boost now I've had a taste lol I don't have skills/tools/experience to convert my car to 4efte, so I'd probably be looking to get it done professionally. Pukka offer a full conversion inc parts & labour for £1300, or £300 if I can supply parts. Whether I convert this car or buy a GT/V I will want to run: - TD12 Turbo kit - Plug'n'Play ECU - All supporting mods for 1/1.1Bar boost What I want to know, is what would be the best way for me to do it with regards to cost? Should I bang out £1300 and take it straight to Pukka or find my own engine/gearbox/ecu/loom etc? For the modifications; Turbo and Plug&Play ECU will total around £1500 regardless. Would it be best for me to just search for all supporting mods on the used market, or buy a crash damaged GT/V which I can take the parts & mods from? The only thing that would put me off about that, is there would be no guarantee that the engine is gonna last. Ideas and input very much welcome my friends! Thanks! Amjad

Oh yeah! I remember that one! Can't believe he included the glanza bodywork as well! (Or did you do that?) If I was working at the time I probably would have bought it Aanyhoo all the best with the build, I'll certainly be following! P.s. if you ever wanna sell it....

Are you serious?! Even with crappy bodywork that price is unbelievable! That has left me gobsmacked haha where did you find it?

WOW! This is the first 6P2(?) full replica I've seen..properly jealous lol Looks amazing to be fair, do you mind me asking how much you paid for it? What sort of mods has it got bar the obvious?

Shush!

Aren't any kits as far as I'm aware dude You can look at getting KYB Gas shocks from Camskill. These come standard on the GT/Glanza. I've driven a Stock GT and they feel firm, yet damp quite well for stock shocks I have Standard Oil shocks with -40mm PI Springs and the ride is pretty harsh on all but the smoothest of roads! The only other option is to go for Coilovers; of which Meister's are supposed to be the best/most comfortable!
