andy.i Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 spelt differently Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenV Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 the gt is slightly lighter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kyle_d Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 The starlet GT is a couple of split seconds faster to 60mph too isnt it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 There is hardly any difference from what I've heard, other than the name, exterior and age. The only other differences are that the GT is lighter than the Glanza, but the heavier Glanza has an extra blade on the turbo to make up for it in torque. Heard some people say that the suspension is slightly updated on the Glanza, what with it being newer, but I'm uncertain about that.It's a matter of personal preference really. They're the exact same performance stats, it's just a matter of what you like the look of the most. The only other thing is that the Glanza seems to have more aftermarket exterior bits, but thats it really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adam starlet87 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 GT's are better!! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montanajr Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 GT's are better!! lolThis man speaks the truth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 gts are for people who cant afford a glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Callan Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 lol good example there^^^^ep82's are for average people unlike glanza owners who try to impress girls who have their fannys out 24/7LoL... GT's are a raw to drive compared to ep91's and imo look alot nicer and also a lot cheaper to buy/maintain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 i was joking :Scheaper to buy, its the same car so same to maintain ?? so how would it be cheaper to maintain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kyle_d Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah i was told the gt is cheaper to insure, is it by much? i just prefer the look of the glanza so much more than the GT. No offence to anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 im with kyle_di prefer glanzas each to there own and that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GARAGE EP Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Other than the already mentioned the exhaust mountings differ slightly, GT seats are nicer IMO quite abit deeper so better hold. but again other than these few bits.... Not alot!Suspension wise i'm unsure as i'm yet to have EP91 and EP82 setups side by side to compare although companies such as Tein List parts for both cars with identical part numbers. However, because they were designed around the EP91 they cannot guarantee fitment for EP82's although i know a number of GT's running Glanza spec Coilies and the fitment has been spot on with absolutely NO running/setup issues.GT's up to 1992 have a centre Hub diameter of 54mm where as 1992 onwards EP82 & EP91's all have a Hub centre of 55mm.I could get more anal but i think i'll stop there! haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 The Glanza has a CT-9B which has an extra blade on the compressor housing to take up the 80Kg difference or whatever. Thats it. Everything else is identical.People say the GT is lighter, and thus better. It is personal prefrence. I prefer the Glanza styling.Its on the turbine side the extra blade.I agree its mostly down to personal preference, however the Glanza is more expensive to insure, in my case by 1/3, this is becuase the data for the glanza has to be inputted manually as its not on the insurers database.The glanza's overall structure is stronger, theres a much bigger front impact bar and additional chassis bracing, stock for stock the glanza is quicker round a track but marginally slower in acceleration.I agree the seats in the GT are much better too.

ste91 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I prefer the styling of Glanzas but can't justify the cost when you can get basically the same car for less and insure it for less and GT's aren't exactly bad looking... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Glanza's are for girls, GT's for boys.(Runs to the woods never to return) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevink Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 in the BM link they talk a lot about ABS, well its the only thing i could understand, do all Glanza's have ABS standard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby@ToyTuning.com Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 in the BM link they talk a lot about ABS, well its the only thing i could understand, do all Glanza's have ABS standard?No mate, only the late ones. ABS on the Starlets is cave like better without when running huge power. If stock for stock then it will be slightly better.I'm sure Toyota slipped them a twenty to let it come out on top, they wouldn't want the old model to beat the new one would they think about it You can tell how the GT driver is driving very wet like. Regardless same car just one looks like a Micra and one looks agressive. Don't get me wrong love them both, have both (Runs to the woods again this time not coming back) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CMR Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Its on the turbine side the extra blade.

Galliano Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Not much difference bar the age and looks.interior is different too mate BUT the engine is the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 As i've said before......Glanza's are for puffs and girls! Real men drive GT's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
00joeindastarb0 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Glanza's have a marginally stiffer shell and shorter ratios in 3rd and 4th gearThere for girlsBuy a 82,the original is always best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
