I registered here to know more and to order some after market parts.My previous cars were :Supra NA , R32 gtst , Supra NA , R32 gtst , Supra TT & Supra TT lolNow i own a Impreza bugeye 2002 as daily and Ive bought a Glanza to do some fun in the weekends and go to the nurburgring Can anyone confirm that glanza's are A REAL THRILL to drive ?

akyakapotter Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Welcome along I'm sure you'll have fun in your glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
potvolkoffie Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Thank you for the great replies already! really means a lot to me! Im sure I can get the parts needed right here! ;) P.S If you guys can come over to belgium, I'm organizing an official meet (especially for JDM cars) so you are always welcome. I come 5 - 10 times a year to uk just for parts or cars, I LOVE IT THERE SO MUCH Here in Belgium it costs too much to register something like that but still I can't stop myself Edit: The car is now ordered in Japan so prolly need to wait 1 - 2 months until the car is here and then 2 months of registration but it's winter right now, still have the Supra to drift around and the wrx to actually get somewhere Edited November 23, 2012 by potvolkoffie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Welcome joris from belgium!@ matty d, a 1.3 beatin a ferrari IS blowing it out the water!That vid is the best race thats been catalogued on this site so far!Y so serious? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Exactly MattyIf a 1.3 hatchback can have a Ferrari in a straight line. Then it's a good demonstration that it could do some serious work against surpas/evos/skylines when tuned right Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuck Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 A UKSO Belgium meet up with other belgium JDM cars would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
potvolkoffie Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Jip and it's not THAT far to come over. I take a 2 hour drive to calais (and then to dover) , I will keep you guys posted! Meeting will be in May 2013! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletMad Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 That would be f***in amazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
potvolkoffie Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Quite a big group of JDM lovers has developed here in Belgium. It's very hard and expensive to bring such cars on the road. It takes much time (+- 6 months if you are lucky) and costs a lot (1400 - 1700 gbp) to register te car. And for the MOT the car has to be +- full stock. So you guys will be more then welcome to join our meeting then ! ;) Cheers!I dont know if i can 'advertise' our facebookgroup here : "Speedconcept" if someones interested.Cheers and thx for all the replies!

Addymk2 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I've came from a decent string of quick cars from BMW's to Integra Type R's, and I've came back to a Glanza. Theyre just more fun! Not necesserily better handling/quicker, but they are bloody awesome fun. Standard seats are possibly the worst I've ever sat in though and the brakes are pump. Everything else is peachy!

potvolkoffie Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Jip prolly gonna need to change the seats, suspension & brakes. That's why I'm here, and another advantage off the Glanza. You don't need to whine after a spirited / long drive about that you drove for that much euros (or pounds ). Fuel economy seems to be VERY good. Supra did 16l/100 km at normal driving and +25 @ WOT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then it's a good demonstration that it could do some serious work against surpas/evos/skylines when tuned rightno a 1.3 being quicker than a ferrari is epic but it didnt blow it out of the water and completely destroy it as you are making out!!if the claimed figures were correct then you would have seen it being destroyed, work it out for yourselves...............(drivers/passengers weight taken in to account)Sock's - 344 bhp/ton355 - 248 bhp/tonnow correct me if im wrong, but surely a car with pretty much 100 bhp per ton more should have absolutely anniliated it no? I saw no anniliation in this video.................... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Uh OH here goes the video breakdown and analysis. Indicating, slowing down etc.. embarassed ferrari owner etc etcOT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
