Idrees Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Depends on the price of the car? If it's dirt cheap, make a project out of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wantaglanz Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 would be better off to buy it with the blown engine and put a second hand glanza engine in, not a n/a with a turbo strapped to it! that wont last very long... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ollie ryan Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 what to buy a standard engine?my one was fully rebuilt with port and polished cylinder head and i paid about £900 for the engine and now running over 200bhp happily Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingcarr Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I was reading an old topic on Toyota owners club and a member called "Geocool69" (may not be the Geo we know) said it would run ok as long as it isn't running too much boost? Well... That's the vibe I got from it! If I could source the parts required cheap enough, id give it a blast on my 4efe to prove it either way as I want to be popping a 5e in mine next year when the braking, body, chasis and suspension mods are finished!http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/ind...34778&st=15I wouldn't trust someone I didn't knows work though, the 4efe could be a mess before the tubby was bolted on!

Raz Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Buy my glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Xps420 why are you selling yours this time? Thought you were happy with this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 You didn't reply to my pm ;)I am happy with it. I think i should move onto a normal car for better MPG as i do allot of miles, but just looked at the quotes for a normal car (polo 1.4 tdi to be precise) and my insurance seems to be more then the glanza, at the moment i am paying just over 2k. I then re-checked my glanza quote and was quoted for 4k WHAT THE FUCK!?????????????????????edit - i may aswell stop driving when it comes for renewal. Can't insure anything? How the fkc can i pay 4k!!!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Im on my phone so can't reply to pms but I'm going to talk to the re company tomorrow and see how cheap I can get it depending how many people are up for doing itAnd insurance has shot up this year, I had to go tuft whereas last year I was full comp at 18Doesnt make sense to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 TPFT and TP is the same as fully com for me lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stulet-GTT Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If its a mint shell an body work it may be worth buying, you can pick up a glanza engine standered for about £400 - £500 an drop it in..Like idrees said its could be a nice project.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
