shelly_star Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Welcome Dave, not sure how fast them little Swifts are. Must be pretty quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbo Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 hello matey, sounds like the swift is quite tuned! starlet will be slower as standard, but you can tune them as easy as you like if you got the money ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 hi dave the glanza v and the gt turbo have 133 bhp to play with.the gt turbo is faster than the newer glanza. this is mainly down to weight.i Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The post-98 Glanzas also have 135bhp Enzo. Welcome to the club man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave_bristol Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 hi all, thanks for the replys, which starlet do you all thinks is best value for money ? and are there any common faults (rust etc....)i cant seem to find much info on them online, anyone got any links etc... to usefull info e.g. standard equipment ,every starlet ive seen on this site so far has looked really nice and each is individually styled unlike most saxos pugs etc......Cheers all Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 hay buddy without doubt the ep82 is the best value for money wise.oe comon fault with the starlet is the handling. they dont hold that much speed into coners...dont let this put you off tho as it can be fixed.because its a turbo there is alot of scope for getting more power.200bhp is easily achievable in somthing that weighs 860kgs... if you do the math thats a leathal power to weight ratio.antd if money is no option big power is possible.there are no real comon faults to look out for as its a toyota so they dont rust or anything like that if looked after...just check perishable parts for wear and a full service history is essential theses days...if you type in harcore ep into any search engine it will bring up rorys glanza site with loads of info about the starlet.. have a gander at that..
