Mort Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Hey all,Been lurking here for quite a while, basically after a Glanza with around 200 bhp, I had an R32 golf, then got a Lup GTi, need something with a bit more oomph. I'm quite open in what I'm looking for in colour etc, want something that requires minimal work, just sort of buy and go. Thanks in advance.Rhys
StuDoc 72 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Check the for sale section matey usually good for finding cars to buy :harhar: lol seriously though theres some nice machines in there just now and welcome to the family should you choose to buy yourself a starlet.
Mort Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 I've had a browse mate, nothing that really takes my fancy, well one or two but they're from months ago, I did text the one guy, but he's not gotten back to me. I don't really want a standard, I lost my job a few weeks ago, so want something affordable and nippy for now thanks for the welcome!
daniel_g Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Gumtree and pistonheads. Always new ones coming up for sale.
Mort Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Thing is mate, I'm dubious, If I get a car second hand always use enthusiast sites as they can be trusted, and I know they've been maintained, can't be so sure on there!
LeeroyV Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Where abouts are ya?? Might be tempted to sell mine :/
Mort Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 I'm from near Cardiff mate, travel isn't an issue, may have to go to Scotland to get one! So be it
turboloon Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 i have a forged ep82,running 250 bhp @1.3bar on a td04,has wilwoods,quaiffe diff,power f.c,460 injectors,orc309 clutch,hks super silent stainless steel exhaust,etci may sell if the price is right.
kirky1 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 my 96 glanza would be around 200bhp if you got the engine replaced/rebuilt going cheap
Mort Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 Hey Turb, I'm after glanza mate, EP82 isn't to my personal taste, sound's a lovely bit of kit though. Kirk, I'm looking for one I can literally pick up and use, seen a couple of lovely ones that need work, or have TD04's that need to be installed etc. Thank's for the replies though guys, much appreciated.
ryan lang Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 where abouts near cardiff are you dude? as long as your sensible i dont see why something off gumtree or autotrader cant be trusted and if its local go have a look
Mort Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 I live not far from cwmbran mate! 10 mins, yeah I've been speaking to a guy on gumtree, hard to gauge price though, the one I like is quite high mileage and what not, nice car but a lot more expensive than others similar! Nice to see there's other Welshies on here! lol.
LeeroyV Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Your not allowed to Leeroy!!!lol im in 2 minds again matey... just fancy something newer but unsure what
Mort Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 Hi mate, Depends on the car the spec and what it's running. It's general condition too. I've seen people asking like close to 4 grand for something somebody else is selling for 2.5. It also depends how quickly I sell my Lup GTi. Rhys
Banbury Glanza Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Hi mate this is my mates car, he's not on here but uses tgtt a bit. Not sure it's what your after but worth a shot. Pm me if you wanna know anything cheers. http://mobile.pistonheads.com/sales/4236527.htm
Mort Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Hi mate, Thank's for that, not really what I'm looking for though, looks wise either. I'm not that fussy, but not for me! thank you all the same. Rhys
akyakapotter Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 why not get a near standard one and make it 200bhp yourself much more fun of it doing it yourself
Mort Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 Because I don't have the time really mate! easier to buy one up to what i need!
cazzac2222 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Hiya mate, mine will be for sale in the next couple of week, i think you could be interested ;)Its not quite 200bhp but with a little more mods it would be quite easily, alot of forum members will vouch for this car as the first owner in the uk was the 3rd member on this forum, if im right, being an enthusiast himself. I then bought it from him and its been on the forum since.Great condition car and is very well spec'd handling and performance wise, if you want a read through my thread everything is in there.Like i say it will be for sale in a couple of week as there is some small niggles i want to get sorted before she goes, rear wheel bearing and other small bits.I know your a fair while away but im willing to meet a little if the money is there and shell be going to a good home haha
ryan lang Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 zac's car is absolutely mint dude lots of work and care gone into that one
cazzac2222 Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Heres the Progress Thread mate: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29536Thanks alot Ryan, Appreciated Buddy
