Matts Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 not sure where to post this but im just wandering is there much noticable difference between the manuals and auto glanza, i much prefer manual for control but im seeing alot of cheap glanzas that are automatics just considering purchasing a auto for my first glanza or should i just keep looking for a nice manual? all 3 of my friends have manuals. what would be noticeable difference on a drive out with them?

_shaun_ Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 They only way I'd but an auto would be to convert it to a manual. Honestly don't see the point in them. Would get just pushing the accelerator and waiting for it to change gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 auto sucks, manual all the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fealscott Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Just converted my auto to manual, much better, auto ruins the starlet imo, only bought mine to convert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Nothing really wrong with an Auto, I'd just rather manual.The first Turbo EP I drove was an Auto GT and I adored it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But they prolly had these parts in stock loads lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve-gers Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a full list of what you need to convert if you want it. Auto is good in its own way as 2nd gear does 80mph so overtakes nicely. Now I am manual it is far better to drive though and handles far better. I still have auto clocks and auto ecu and both work fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

steve-gers Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Its not overly difficult to convert tbh and its good fun beating bigger cars in a 1.3 automatic for the time being upset some people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matts Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Its not overly difficult to convert tbh and its good fun beating bigger cars in a 1.3 automatic for the time being upset some people.i can imagine it will be and i will have a big smile on my face, just out of curiousity how hard is it to locate the parts and what price would i be lookign at? i mean could i take most parts from uk ep91 n/a and just get a efte box and ecu?

steve-gers Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I managed to get all the parts needed for under £300 and did all the work myself. Not sure if you could use N/A parts or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
