MWL Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hi there. After building my 213bhp B18C Civic track car I fairly quickly realised I needed somewhat more of a commuter (daily race car wasnt suitable). I now have a Honda Jazz which is a brilliant wee car although I have always been taken by the glanza's! I've decided il be looking to buy one in January/February time. Anyone got any advice on what to look out for when buying?Past/current fleet: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck with your search!Cheers! What would you like to know, full spec?Ideally I'm after a silver facelift, but not overall bothered between the face/pre facelift as I can see any major differences!LSD would be a bonus though.

aaddzz123 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Like the civic bar the spoiler! Love the chopped rear bumper and zorst haha. Race car !... Welcome to the forum.Advice on buying would be the same for any car. Don't buy anything that's been cheaply done... Learn which brands are better and worse, avoid cheap and look for attention to detail. If someone cares about their car and has a good knowledge of looking after it they'll have spent money where it counts and maintained the important bits over stuff that isn't as important ;)... Problem with Glanzas and GTs is they're a nice cheap turbo hatch and a lot of lads get them to beat the shit out of for a few months and then get something else when stuff starts to fall apart lol.Or buy from the forum. That way you have a history from their posts and build thread if they have one.... You usually get what you pay for! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ro55ifumi Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 All depends on what level you are looking for and willing to payJust do the usual checks and as already stated look to buy of the forum as you have a little historyJohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Civic is a weapon.... Why didnt u turbo that thing lolGlanza will certainly be a case of welcome to the world of torque Ull need to upgrade to a td04 turbo tho to get similar performance as that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MWL Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Civic is a weapon.... Why didnt u turbo that thing lolGlanza will certainly be a case of welcome to the world of torque Ull need to upgrade to a td04 turbo tho to get similar performance as that Classic example of torqueless Hondas! When it was screaming in vtec though... Was going to go the turbo route, but that meant a completely different engine as the B18C is too high a compression to realistically work with.Exactly my plans, td04 seems the route to go. Wont be making the glanza anywhere near as "out there" as the Civic though....famous last words! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
