Lol, both the GT and the Glanza got the same engine. GT is lighter and more retro with that badaass look Glanza's are more refine and modern. The GT is lighter though which is a key point in terms of performance. I would go for an EP82 quad light with LSD. Best choice I think
By the way, before I forget, I have a GT on sale lol.

Awesome picture for chanelle1234

Well, its not easy to get someone to swap there manual for an automatic cause most of them are looking for money lol.
I keep changing my mind every minute, i do really want a well looked after manual GT but if i cant get anyone to swap then i'll try selling it for like 2 grand or nearest and if still i cant get that sort of money for it then, maybe, i'll put in bigger injectors, coilovers ,FMIC and a TD04 turbo and full remap and bigger brakes to run it on 200+ BHP and then get it on the drag strip for some fun Automatics save about 2 seconds more on gear shift than manuals
Neways, we'll see what comes first lol

lol cant afford the gt insurance
but i would like to see some pictures of that SR
My goodness,everyone is dying to see my SR...Its in a mess,stripped completely lol cause i had to remove the sparco bucket seat and trying to remove other bits to get all back to standard.....
It is an S reg car, and the engine is very sweet,no weird noises or smoke, starts spot on anytime any weather condition. I've been busy all day trying to sort it out and so as not to upset you Miss Kaaaty lol
Sorry but its the only pictures i could get on the PC, camera playing up.....
YEP, 48 hours work and interior is all sorted, i would even add as new And you even get a cd player fitted, new one JVC,got it from Halfords at half price during the bank holiday
Now will start to sort out under bonnet,that is put back original filters,plugs and re tune to run on standard and remove the cusco strut braces. Then remove the coilovers (nearly sorted ), grooved discs etc... Dont worry i will give you the car with it running a decent 80 BHP.
Look how clean it is inside !!!

Hi, well I've had starlets for a while now and I can confirm they are very reliable cars with cheap maintenance cost.
I'll have an SR for sale in about 2 weeks time. Mot and tax till end of year, cd player and just tinted the back and side windows in limo black. About 78k miles on clock,well serviced. It will be about £850 Cause I'll be looking for a quick sale. Car is in silver and speedline alloys are in good condition with nearly new tyres. I'll keep you posted. Watch this space

Or if you're interested, get my GT automatic for £1900, quick cash sale. Choice is all yours
-
I wouldn't pay more than 150 max for them mate. They do look nice but they are used and tyres might need replacing.
-
Yes they will fit the FE block but I would advice to consider upgrading with 5FE cams instead, if I'm Reading your mind then that's what you must do instead. Lol:) I know you're looking for a bigger Turbo and bigger BHP figures so come on matey, get a bigger block lol.
-
Black all the way mate, trust me it will look awesome Metallic pearl black effect to be more precise. Check out my GT
-
Well, to be honest I would rather say that it's a sad motor in need of some love and care. If I didn't have the automatic gt I would probably have bargain it around 1300- 1400. Then put in a new battery, new cvs and change all the belts, then get it through mot. But that's suppose if lol, it might have been a bucket lol. Good bArgain for a track car project though.

Thanks for the comments:) yep car looks lovely. Wheels are 15" oz replicas and bonnet has just been sprayed in pearl black last week. I'm looking for a nice nearly mint manual ep82 to swap against this one basically cause it's an automatic.
Lovely starlet, it drives like new.

South West London Mate, I'm painting the steelies black with a colourmatching green lip, unless I can get a cheap set of 15"'s early next year, cause I want to do springs and wheels at the same time or it'll look stupid.
Shafz.
Hey Bro, wats happening? save your monies man! lol At the end of the day it will be a 5 door starlet so dont think of putting too much in cause you'll never get it back. I would reckon to drive and get use to the car by knowing its limits and build up your no claim bonus instead and think of upgrading in the future for a nice GT Turbo once you know how to handle a starlet. If you want to have a pimped starlet for the time being,i would reckon you tint them windows and pop in on 453 barking road to get a nice exhaust box,they start around 35 quid and the place name is TURBOREVS, got quite a lot of kits and at very reasonable prices.
Take it easy

Standard ECU mate but really good remap job done by some tuners up north, Halifax. Was advised by a good friend from the pulsar forum, they are not cheap but they get you what you want and how you want your car to run, amazing how electronics can create performance. No need for even an uprated pump.
Ah good old SR, will miss it. coilovers are getting removed today.
-
Hey , I'll be uploading pictures soon, no worries. The SR is stripped and has only one bucket seat in. It is one of my track cars. No big mods at all, straight through exhaust, big induction kit and 330cc injectors and a full remap. Tein adjustable coilovers with cusco front and rear strut braces and grooved discs at front with yellow stuff pads all round. No big BHP but really good fun on the track.
So basically, I'm putting it all back together with complete interior and all other bits and pieces to make it standard again. It might be a couple of weeks before I put it for sale lol. But for those who might think I'll sell the teins, brakes or injectors then you got it all wrong, cause I'll be needing all those

hello jap lovers. It's been a while that I've been on the forum and didn't really introduced myself.
I'm a great fan of the Starlet for over 9 years now yep, back from my home country, Mauritius, I owned my first starlet GT. I was 20 at that time and it was me Dad who imported it from japan. Car was the quad light model with LSD manual gear and in gleaming White
Ah this car was amazing, had the best joy out of it but as you might have guessed I crashed it more than a couple of times. Got repaired and put back on the road but finally went on a you turn at full throttle and lost it, overturned, rear smached a pole and end up in a ditch! Spent 5 weeks in hospital with a broken arm, and two broken ribs. Then scrapped the GT, and went out the country for further studies ( UK). It's been 9 years since and during that time I've managed to complete my studies, get a good job and settle down with the wifey. I've had a civic esi, Honda prelude, celica gt, and starlet SR, Supra non turbo, skyline R32 single turbo and last but not the least Nissan Pulsar.
To sum up, I love Japanese engineering and during all the years spent with them I consider myself being able to strip down an engine and put it back together without a problem:)
Still after having all these rides, I couldn't forget my experience with the Gt Ep82. Last month went to buy one from Dorset in mint condition, 55k on clock and full history, I'm the second owner and car has never been modified, all standard but only bad point is that it's an automatic. I was impressed though how fast it kicked down as soon as you step on it, I would add nearly as fast as a manual.
The Mrs isn't too happy about this cause I now have a starlet SR, a Nissan pulsar, Subaru impreza sport( it's the 2.0 model without turbo, the family car in other word cause having 4 doors), and the starlet GT turbo in the drive
I love my toys and i've been looking for a while for a nice gt but most of them were abused example manual gears and too much modification, finally got one though automatic but it is as sound and smooth as a brand new car:)) I think I'll sell the SR soon cause otherwise I'll soon end up out of the house and sleeping in the drive with the cars.
Sorry for the long writing but I just felt like sharing why I'm on the forum lol

.i know what your saying i would prefer an SR though.they have the little extras which means less for me to do
but your right if the right one comes for the right price
