Idrees Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Welcome to the forum.The cheapest I've seen SR's for sale are around £1k for a tidy one. Damien on here is selling one at a bargain price of £750 though, and his is mint.For the Glanza parts, here are rough prices:Glanza bonnet £100 second hand - Lucky if you can get one the same colour as the car.Headlights - Gary_EP91 is selling a pair at £40 which is very cheap. Usually go for around £70-£80 (Cost £120 brand new)Bumper - You can get the 96 spec bumper for around £70-£100 second hand, if your lucky it'll have foglights attached.That's all you need. If you want a 98 spec bumper they cost £109 from Toyota but then you need the 98 spec fogs which are £130 or something stupid like that! You'll also need the Glanza grille to attach the bumper to the slam panel, these cost around £22 from Toyota. If you want part numbers, check out the part number section.

Ryan5793 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 welcome to the club, i have an SR and doing a glanza conversion, all thats needed is above, just depends what front bumper you want as i wanted a 98 spec with lip that costs abit more but well worth it in my opinion!

Ryan5793 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 best way I've found is ebay and on here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 nope the bonnet is a straight fit and the front bumper needs the right brackets and supports. headlights can be a pain though if they dont have the right clips like mine didnt! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dale10ellis10 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Welcome to the club Get a build thread up when you do manage to get a starlet and start the Glanza conversion, makes an interesting read for us folks dale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Louis Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 ahahaa! LOL go away! haha loving the jelousy between you two haha. just had a look at you build up ryan and it looks pretty dam nice i must say! how you coping with a non turbo? are they quite fast as i have a 1.5 vtec so im expecting quite a drop in power if i do get an SR.be prepared to be pestered when im halfway through my build chaps haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 its... slow all fairness its okay for a 1.3 really, power can be gained with a few mods like a glanza S mani and air filter but the power dont bother me just yet as its going to be my 1st car. the only thing i do miss is it not sounding like a turbo to be honest.

Idrees Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The 1.3 N/A is pretty nippy for what is is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Louis Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 The 1.3 N/A is pretty nippy for what is is.well im looking forward to something different anyway getting kind of bord with the civic haha. do you get decent power gains with an inlet manifold like you have? an amateur is a corolla one you have?

Idrees Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Well thats my old car, very old!I had a Corolla inlet, full exhaust and an open filter on it. It was pretty nippy, I beat 2 Saxo VTR's in it and they are 1.6 with 90hp or so that was on the 1/4 mile strip by the way (17.3 seconds). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 There must be something wrong with the Civic! I had a run against two of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anup67 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 my n/a just got its service and MOT done right now and it feels so nicee and fastt... i can pull away from a lot of cars out of turnings......but the best thing is the shock when your in 2nd gear doing about 22mph and you plant your right foot all the way down! it will go like no mans bussness....dont worry its not for racing, its when big 4x4's come up really close behind you thinking they own the road.... go 22mph on second gear for a long time and when it seems like hes going to overtake you then press the accelarator!! its a very fun game i play you should try it sometime Anup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Louis Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 There must be something wrong with the Civic! I had a run against two of them.haha yeah most probably but its top speed is only 115mph so that wont help either. i did a track time at trax and smoked a vtr, fiesta rs turb (until it came to a straight haha) 106 quick silver, so its okay. what car have you got now then? if thats your old one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Since my old one I've had a 211hp GT Turbo, a White 219hp Glanza and now am moving on again. Looking at the JDM Civic EP3 TypeRs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Oooh, nice choice, had a look at them a while back but they were silly expensiveDamien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anup67 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 i love vtec hondas....origianlly i wanted to get a 1.5 vtec civic.... my uncle has 1, and hes done a few mods... but the best mod by far is putting vtec badges on the back of the rear headrests its like 'h8ter vision' Anup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
