rob_bower Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm pretty sure all s' have drums on the rear. Everyone I've ever seen has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Can i ask why you wonder about this? Is this a factor in your choice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Brakes are the first thing I ever look at on cars, I'm on Dickydan's side!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
td04 glanza Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 But is he aware the s doesn't have a tubby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dickydan Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 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 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 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 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 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 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 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 ?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
