Asad Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hey welcome to the site bud, i think most people were in your situ now they take mods etc in there stride soon after joining up,theres a wealth of info here why? because we all have the same car (in a weird sort of way)ive not read many people getting in trouble with the rozzers unless they are speeding so you are okold skool jap= car for life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Si@Fiske Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Nice to hear your considering.. all you have to do is make up your mind... Glanza or GT.There is a wealth of info floating around if you do get probs.. also there are many people to ask if you get issues.. also working with these cars are relativley easy best of luck with the purchase!

Sparky Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 welcome to uksc buddy As said not alot goes wrong with these little machines, they dont tend to rust, just be careful when you start modifying, you do it cheap you do it twice is an old saying meaning you buy cheap parts or cut coners then expect to start again Doubt cops will hassle you too much unless you drive like a twat etc so you should be fine Enjoy your stay and happy hunting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
husko Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 anybody around junction 28 then that wouldnt mind showing me their car? not a test drive or owt, but maybe a ride to see how good they are!! I had all this when I had my FTO, but got rid due to expenses! these should be alot cheaper to run and that, whats is an approx mpg??/I would prefer ( i think) a glanza, but i do like the quad light GT's too!! I may have about 3k to spend, but at the minute I aint even got a car, just a stupid mountain bike, that i have to ride 7 miles to get to work and back and it sux but is good on the pocket!!!!

Si@Fiske Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 nah mate im miles away... but tbh getting a good glanza would be more difficult with that budget.. would be more realistic getting a decent gt with 3k.. and gt's are for winners lol hahaha.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
husko Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 theres a few at 3.5k which is ono, so maybe get a glanza, but i must admit i like the quad light ones too!wats the rough mpg if you dont thrash it eveywhere?also what tax bracket are they in is it 120 per yr? I know it sounds trivial, but i got a house to pay for, so it all adds up!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 yea they bout £120 a year man, I've been pulled over twice in the 2yrs I've had the car and they were justified tbh so no generally you should be alright Quote Link to post Share on other sites

addz Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Welcome bud.With your budget you better of going for the GT.It all depends where your from. I've been pulled once with only having ownership of the car for almost 4 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
husko Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 yes i have been looking at quad lights, but saying that, they seem to be getting cheap!!! I am gonna hold out till nearer christmas, maybe grab a bargain nearer that time, still wouldnt mind having a ride in one to see how good they are!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
