The Toffinator Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Bit of dilemma im in at the mo, want turbo power and can get insured on a GT so was thinking of stripping the N/A and selling it as a standard car to fund towards one. BUT i have spent a hell of a lot of time and money on my N/A, and was thinking of turboing it.Only things that are stopping me is its a hassle to do, and the fact its a 15 year old uk car and isnt the cleanest!! but most of all insurance. i very much doubt i can get insurance on a conversion But it would be hardbroken to get rid of my green beast:/Cant decide what to do lads!!

200bhp starlet Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 as above mate ring for quotes then go from there that way you may be able to keep your beast lewis Quote
The Toffinator Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 Yeh dont think the convo will be much of a hassle, im an apprentice mechanic and can get a hand of a proper mechanic, i think the only problem is insurance so will have to check it. And another problem is the arches on mine need doing so theres 200quid, and obviously an old uk n/a isnt the cleanest underneath to be fair... Quote
Ryan5793 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 quad GeeeTeee! Really not that much money anymore :/ Quote
The Toffinator Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 Hmm im definetely more swayed to the gt now. what do decent N/As go for these days? is £900 too much? Quote
Amjad Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Drive a GT and go from there! I know the feeling, I love my NA too much to get rid, but since I drove the GT I knew I didn't want to break that either! lol Quote
The Toffinator Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 Wouldnt mind finding a crashed one like yours amjad tbh, could get is sorted easily enough... Quote
micky boy Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Im thinking of selling the N/A aswell, love it to bits but just need abit more power!!! if you do end up converting your N/A give me a shout and i'll give you a hand Quote
The Toffinator Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks lads, and micky boy that would be great if i decide to go that way, just the GT keeps calling me as i know i can get insured:/ its just finding one thats the problem! Quote
Asad Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Go for a GT mate, save up do your time and find a nice low miler...conversions are easy finding a decent engine isn't Quote
Steve GT Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 GT but either way its about a turbo whichever you choose you'll be more than happy Quote
TrisK Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 personally id go for a gtbreak the na, back to standard then buy a gtotherwise, you end with a glanza that isnt. plus you have other considerations like brakes etc Quote
The Toffinator Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks again lads, and yeh trisk thats another problem, allthough it has everything in place ready for a conversion at the moment, might just take this back to standardish and flog it on. Quote
