Glanza s rear brakes

[Dickydan]

Does a glanza s have discs or drum rear brakes?? Thinking if joining starlet world and will probs either get a v or an s

[rob_bower]

I'm pretty sure all s' have drums on the rear. Everyone I've ever seen has.

Can i ask why you wonder about this? Is this a factor in your choice?

[Keri-WMS]

Brakes are the first thing I ever look at on cars, I'm on Dickydan's side!!!

[td04 glanza]

But is he aware the s doesn't have a tubby

[StuDoc 72]

Well yeah part of that im sure the S even with drums has adequate braking power fow what it is but even so surely if the brakes are that important you could just swap a V's brakes onto the S. Im just saying it a relatively inexpensive wear and tear part so i was wondering why he was focusing on it purely out of interest.

[Dickydan]

I was just wondering because if i got an s it would end up being a tubby in the future and had bad experience with brakes so first thing i go for is brakes on a car now

[StuDoc 72]

Aww i see well your best off just going with a V then it will save you alot of money and hassle in the long run by the time you get round to turboing it will just cost an arm and a leg and also S's are much harder to find.

[Dickydan]

Theres one for sale on here for 1000 but tbh i might just try pickup a glanza with fucked engine close to me or one that i can repair as ive done a lvl 2 mechanic course so i got the head for a rebuild or engine swap will i be able to get insured on a v at age of 20 tho?

[StuDoc 72]

Well 1000 is well priced but you needto think of the work involved when turboing it. You will needto strip it out and replace the looms which is a massive job in its self then all the parts you would be aswell starting off with a V and paying the extra 500-1000 to save yourself a whole lot of hassle. You can get insured on any car people who say u wont get insured are talking mince its just down to how deep your pockets are but i got mine at 19/20 and mine was about 1300 so expect to pay anywhere between 1-2k on insurance.

[Dickydan]

If i could pay 2k and be insured on a v id do it in a flash everywhere wants like 2.4k for a n/a ?!?!

[StuDoc 72]

WTF how come where have you tried thats not right?

[Idrees]

Insurance massively depends on your location.

[Dickydan]

I live in south wales its stupid people younger than me at like 17 just passed their tests car insure for less :/

[mattyD]

what companies have you tried dude?

you tried any that are specialists within the import community?

[Dickydan]

Naa i havent i just tried co op admiral and the usual comparison sites and w.e

[mattyD]

that could be your problem....................try adrian flux, sky, keith michaels and brentacre they you be a lot nicer to you

[Dickydan]

Will i be able to insure a turbo??
