nightroamer Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Hey guys sorry im new as you can tell im sure.have spent all day browsing the forum and i gotta say congrats to all as its got some awsome content. only thing im really stumped on is ages and models. i have had good insurance quotes on an older 93 import turbo model and a new 98 version. but im unsure of all the different names/versions.is there a guide anywhere? couldn't see one.i would like to spend say 5000 on a nice import example so any advicecheers and well done allTom Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Welcome to the site Tom, plenty of useful information on here and if you can't find what you're after someone will usually be able to help ;)As for the models, the older turbo version is the (EP82) GT Turbo and the newer shape (EP91) comes in both the UK and Import (turbo) versions - the turbo version being known as the Glanza.Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself will be along soon enough to help you out some more but hopefully that's a start on what you wanted to know.Enjoy your stay ;) Quote
nightroamer Posted December 28, 2006 Author Posted December 28, 2006 cheers MJ its a good start !!thanks Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Would I be right in assuming you're after a turbo Starlet rather than an n/a one ? Quote
nightroamer Posted December 28, 2006 Author Posted December 28, 2006 Oh sorry yea only looking for the turbo. Have a 1.6 306, a mini,and a bmw 320i, looking for a fast little nipper to tune... Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Diverse collection you have there ;)Just have to wait for some GT and Glanza owners to come along and give their advice now matey.Have done all I can as drive an n/a and don't know much about the turbo versions.Good luck! Quote
paul w Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Welcome bud.Starlet GT turbo-1990-94 square headlightshttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k282/pw_...rletpics017.jpgStarlet GT turbo 1994-95 Facelift version quadlightshttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k282/pw_...rletpics013.jpgThen theres the Glanza which i don't have a pic of.The GT's are lighter and some would say more fun to drive because of it.

Sparky Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Welcome to the club mate.... you could get a lovely looking Glanza for £5k...maybe even the 98 version with different fromt bumper/foglights and other interior bits which someone else could probably explain ;) Quote
shelly_star Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Welcome to UKSC ;)Enjoy your stay newbie Quote
paul w Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Is it 5k in euro's or pounds because that'll make a big diff in what you can get. Quote
nightroamer Posted December 29, 2006 Author Posted December 29, 2006 £5k live in south of uk!thanks for replies, difficult decision. but i think i will prob opt for the galanza post 98 model. worth it for the looks. Quote
