Also has he got pics of the engine now? Because that doesnt look like a stainless steel sports manifold to me ;)

Never driven a C2 so cant really comment on the drive of one... But coming from an N/A Alfa Romeo 145 Cloverleaf pushing nearly 170bhp from an NA 2 litre was a bit... Strange. Points I noticed: The Glanza hasn't broken down on me once and that includes travelling around europe in her for a month. The handling in the Glanza lacks feedback and its not the most predictable car I've driven. Even with an LSD it doesn't cling on like my Alfa used to and theres little progression from grip to understeer, but that could just be mine. In a straight line the Glanza would eat my Alfa. The boot is small, although with the seats down I can still wedge in my DH bike if the wheels are off and thats with a rear strut brace. Fuel wise, probably be similar to the C2 if you drive gently on 97 ron + petrol. A LOT quieter on a cruise than my old NA aslong as I dont get her spooled up. Overall I dont regret stepping into an old little rocket, but its all down to personal preference, I do miss the Alfas handling balance and sheer speed it could wham around a roundabout, but the Glanza makes up for it by not exploding half as much and being more civilized (surprisingly) for daily use.

Even if its over sized I just pulled mine ridiculously tight with a cable tie, its the same as the piper cross ones they sell in halfords, only cheaper, and they are one size only I think mate

I got one off ebay for about £6 delivered, hasn't let a drop out yet and has been on for a few months and a few thousand miles!

Got one for the bargain price of £40 at the jap show, but I cant find anywere that sells the harness! Some of the evo boys have been using the Blitz harness, can anyone shed any light on this? Cheers guys! Craig

Think popping the boot might have worked! Got one of my 3rd quickest time then, cant get any grip in 1st though, it just spins it all away lol then my gearbox decided that 3rd wasn't its friend any more!

Errm.... The boot incident... Personally, I blaim the misses for popping it when she got out! haha Still went over the line at 97mph lol boom

ATM I cant post a thread as Im on my phone. But this has been a long time coming, thought Id post it whilst I had a chance at the web as Im abroad with work again soon. Thanks for the stuff Enzo! Ordered an anti roll bar and anti lift kit a few days before I got back from a stinking desert in the middle east and it was in my front room when I got back! Cheers mate! Craig

Personally Id send him a cyber punch in the face. Kapow!

Ive heard the opposite, that a well fitted kit will give you smoother delivery at low revs, Its mainly the sheer price of the fuel thats pushed me towards it but Im just weighing up the pros and cons at the mo. Maybe more google time is needed... And if/when I get it done Ill let you all no how it performs! haha

LPG is cheaper, runs at a higher octane, burns colder so can be run safer at higher boost levels and would save me a wedge every year after the initial outlay. But what are the draw backs? Has anyone got this done on there Starlet/Glanza? Is there anyone that you would recommend to carry out the work as Im seriously thinking of taking the plunge next month. Cheers lads!
