ryan lang Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 id pass your test and learn to drive the n/a 1st and build up a years nbc, because when you pass, any insurance quote you get now will rocket up.get some experience 1st before going turbo bud, my n/a still surprises me from time to time and ive had it for 3 years in the meantime, build it up ready for the engine transplanthandling and braking etc. no point having loads of power, but cant control or use any of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMtuning1 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well i have an sr but have put all glanza bodykit on it but done nothing to the engine at all (1.3 n/a) so shall i keep it as that for a while .. ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah the 1.3 n/a engine is more than enough for beginners lolive had mine for 3 years now and dont plan on turbo'ing for another 2-3 years lolgotta build it up ready for the transplant, as i said above, brakes and handling will give you enough to enjoy for a while Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMtuning1 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 I just carnt wait to drive it it's a right pain it being on drive and not being about to drive it! all i need for the outside of it to be finished is bloody headlight's , im picking some rota grids up wednesday and there getting sprayed baby blue I JUST WANT BOOST!

ryan lang Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah i know how it feels mate we are all learner drivers at some point lolbut yeah deffo pass your test and get some experience driving on your own 1st Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 as ryan says get it handling and stopping before you worry about boost! an n/a has more than enough power to get you in to trouble or dead!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 agree with ryan. just spend some time upgrading suspention and interior and brakes. bushes and stuff and drive about in your n/a for a bit. still alot of fun. go mad and strip it out and ul be suprised whayt you can achieve. Enzo was getting time that im sure were quicker than a standard glanza or gt in his totally stripped older starlet n/a having everything else sorted for when you do an engine conversion will help alot as to be fair 90% of peoples conversions run into some teething problems when complete and you dont want to have to deal with that along with anythin else that might break because its like 14 years old and designed to handle 73 horses not 133 at least Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMtuning1 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the responese! My sr is totally stripped inside anyway i bought it standerd and no it's basically a glanza just without the boost will it still be nippy then .. ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 yeah mate, will surprise quite a few cars, and yourself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 there are different levels of stripped tho seats out and plastics out is just the beggining lol yeh they seem nippy enough. alot better that alot of peoples first cars at least. and 100 bhp is achievable from the little n/a but it appears hard to get lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMtuning1 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 haha I have gone to another level with stripping it out mate , all sound proofing has gone carpets , all plastic's roof lining! the door pannel's will be off soon when i get some ply one's made or fibre glass ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 should feel pretty fast already then be enough to annoy neds in corsas anyway. the only problem when you have a glanza replica is that you get people who think your cars faster so want a race. focus sts etc. to combat this when i had my replica i just shot them the kind of old person look of disapproval lol are there any engine mods on it already ?
