Scratch Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Evening Guys and Gals,I'll be looking a buying a Glanza in the next month or so with a budget of approx £4K but need some help. I'll be modding it with an aim of a reasonable BHP and handleing. Do i buy an already modded Glanza with say stage 1 mods?OrBuy a mint standard one and start from scratch?Obviously it will be cheaper in the long run with mods already on it but its always nice startin from scratch.Im suck with what to do Can someone talk me into a descition? LOLCheers in advanceBen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Buy a mint standard one and start from scratch?trust me mint standard ones you know wont have been ragged as muchplus you get to mod it the way you want not anyone elses ideasthats what id do mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 if money was a factor id buy a glanza with light mods done already,as it usualy take a while and money to get to stage 1 type mods eg exhaust, filter, intercooler etc. that all ads up,if you buy a car with these already on its not that much hastle or as expensive to get to a bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I agree with both of you. I don't earn the largest amounts of money so startin with a few mods will eaze the money situation but on the other hand as badass says, will it be ragged? I hate descitions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Mine came with coilovers, paddle clutch, cusco LSD and a few other bit like Apexi N1 cat back.They are the most expensive/hardest jobs to do so I would look for one with similar mods in my opinionThat why you can crack on with getting it to stage one and uprating the brakes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 yeh true but id still buy one from scratch in my opinion as you know everything youve done and what to do nextmines cost thousands so far but i know every inch of it now and its so worth doing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But with only a few mods say cat back, filter there wouldn't be much not to know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 true. end of day its up to you but id do that if i was you. get one either standard or few bits atleast you know then it might not have been given death everywhere its been driven lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I would look for some with rare/jdm parts saves the hassle of sourcing/paying stupid money for them Paid £1500 for my GT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 ^^^whatwho did you rob that off then lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scratch Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 £1500 jesus. cheap as chips mate. Is there anywhere other than here, pistonheads and autotrader to find a Glanza? All on pistonheads at the minute aint too great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
