keirz Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 took my glanza for a first drive just now for the first time as my insurance has started.all i can say is holy f**k, f**k me, and good lord! i am physically shaken up. the boost gauge read 0.7 bar and when it comes in its immense. i really dont think i can drive a glanza daily. i hope i get used to it soon as i cant be this adrenalin fueled all the time. truely awsome, more awsome than i could have imagined. glanzas are awsome n/a owners, start saving as you wont be disapointed!

ecksjay Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 ....are you serious?? o_Owell, welcome to the world of turbos mate, although a 0.7bar glanza is 'yawn', its literally just a taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 coming from my n/a it isnt.my glanza is completely stock engine wise so 0.7 bar is the starting point. i have plans to up the boost but for now 0.7 bar is immense compared to 0.00000000000000000000000000 bar in my n/a.

keirz Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 i know joz, some people like to do things there own way. but if any n/a owner out there is umming and arring weather its worth the cash and lots of time saving it is, trust me it is!im sure you get the same rush when you drive your car too joz ey, n/a or not n/a?

keirz Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 your right jon. i gotta be really careful or my fun will be short lived. boost is cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Of course I get a rush mate But with the n/a or any n/a really, you have to push it to its limits before you can benefit from its fruits.As with the glanza its probably effortless to get off to a flying start.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 ha ha ha!!! glad its all been worth it mate!!! i will eventually get to see the beast in the flesh!!!! or at least i hjope i will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I have been very lucky up to now lol touch wood!! I will have to be even more careful when i get the civic on the road, that is s fucking animal when it comes in VTEC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 of course you will rob. will have to arrange a meet soon now im up and running.yeah the glanza is quick straight away with the boost bypassed but when you get to a certain revs its just crazy surge of power that comes in. n/a seem to build up power through the revs but the glanza comes in a big chunk once the turbo has spooled up. good feeling.

DaMaGe Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 You'll get used to it mate. Stock starlets are slooowwwww My daily runner ... that is my Starlet is running 12.70 down the strip and I still feel it slow :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 yeah im sure i will, but on a first drive it feels very quick. much quicker than the is220 for sure.after a while im sure the rush will go but thats when engine mods start to regain that buzz. but for now im happy with it, any faster would be too much at the minute.

montanajr Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Ive had my GT for a couple months now and it hasnt lost that novelty feeling when the turbo spools and you start going for it...i came from a 1.2 fiat punto and although its a big step up, i didnt feel physically shaken up lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_p Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Nice one Keirz, glad you enjoyed your 1st drive. Boost is awesome Like others have said, you do get used to it, but thats when the engine mods begin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
