Amjad Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Insuring a GT for me at 21 0NCB is £1kBest to wait until you're 21 imo to get a fast hatch Quote
eptommi Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 2k would take my Gt but yeah something nice and cheap and put the rest towards your scooby Quote
SR17 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 Been having another look around. Loooking at all sorts of cars but i do really miss not having a starlet!!!Think its fair to say i have a BIG thing for them hahaGot a new quote on a GT today when i get my 3 years NCB for £885! Soo thats thrown another problem into the mix! GT is do-able, but concerned with running costs ;) adam Quote
ollie ryan Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 running cost is the same as any other fast hatch, i use £50 of v power for every three weeks so not bad really Quote
jham Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 i find fuel realy good! saying that i came from a scooby so anything is going to be good after that!id say i put 20 quid in a week? Quote
SR17 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 My old Glanza was better than expected. I managed to get 32-36 MPG driving steady and that was with a hybrid and loads of other mods. What you recon a pretty standard GT would be able to manage day-to-day? 36ish?? Quote
ollie ryan Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 yeah when my glanza was standard i wouldsay it did around 34mpg and i do boost alot Quote
SR17 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 yeah when my glanza was standard i wouldsay it did around 34mpg and i do boost alothaha , thats my worry. NO job, poor student, boost, and super unleaded at 140.9 = BAD IDEA ;) ??? Quote
Amjad Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 That's an awesome quote dude! ;)Don't worry about economy as long as everything is running as it should. I bought my GT stock, it was drinking like crazy which is why it worried me, thought I'd have to sell up! Managed to sort a wobbly/high idle, exhaust was blowing and the rest was down to leaky tires. Got all that sorted and it comfortably does 75 miles or so to 10 litres of V-Power.That's with a lot of hard boosting @0.8 Bar on Mine's ECU, FMIC, Ported mani, Decat, Japspeed exhaust so fairly modded!
