Apologies for the amount of pictures, not to mention the poor quality. Getting the digicam back of the mrs next weekend!

Looks lovely that, the only two things I aren't keen on are the exhaust and the quad headlight things.
Stuart is the Glanza just a newer version of the Starlet?

 

[Lee87]

Looks nice and tidy, what are they like performance wise? I'm not hugely keen on the exhaust either, mainly because you can see a smaller pipe sticking out of the bigger pipe, not a fan of that on any car lol. Other than that, nice looking car!

 

[Stuart]

Yep, my GT is on a M plate, Glanza's we introduced on N plates (I think!! not 100%) - The exhaust is getting changed asap, its far too loud. Burbles nicely ticking over but come 3k RPM and the boost it sounds like an evo with an amplifier attached.
I love those lights mate, the normal ones look so bland.
As for performance, for a 1.3 its stupidly quick. Its 0-60 in 6/7 seconds (again, not 100%) - Only problem is, lack of grip I had it spinning in 3rd today and it scared the **** out of me. It also left behind a mug in a GSI who thought he could show off to his bird

 

[Lee]

That's one big appeal of that car and the Glanza. Not many people know what they are like. And they often get a suprise when they try and find out.

 

[Stuart]

Aye Lee, although its usually the little chavs that under-estimate it. I've had people in scoobs and celica's flashing at me today too!! :driver:

nice motor i would change that pipe tho.

 

[Deathscythe]

looks well nice that mate!

 

[Stuart]

Many people said get rid of exhaust, I can do, but it means replacing full system at a dear cost
It will stick for the time being, its fun scaring people at 3K rpm when it kicks in properly

 

[Lee87]

Lmao, knock old people out of their motorised scooter things when you drive past Is it a sudden roar when it hits 3K rpm then?

 

[Stuart]

Yeh, its like someone switched on a big speaker to make the noise ten times louder.
My dad knew when I was going to over take him, as when I dropped down a gear he could hear the noise so he did too (dropped down a gear) And blew me away in his car, *******.

 

[jim610]

wot sort bhp is it.

 

[Stuart]

My one is 133 standard, I've seen starlets in UK pushing 300 though!! Hopefully after Xmas few things changing in the engine bay I'll have mine running at about 180/190

 

[Lee]

Does boost come in fairly low is it higher in the revs?

 

[jim610]

lot of power for a little car then.

 

[Stuart]

The boost is almost instant, the only time I've felt the 'lag' is when I am giving it some and I change gear and put my foot back down, there is a 1/2 second lapse before it picks up again. Imo I think thats why engine goes so noisey at 3K RPM when the turbo starts blowing properly.
When I come down Hull Lee we'll go for a blast down clive sully way

 

[Stuart]

lot of power for a little car then.

Not to mention it only weighs something stupid like 760kg...!!!
It is actually quite scary going from a sorta of 110ish bhp corsa to a turbo'd car though!!

 

[jim610]

bet it is
