I know the standard manifolds tend to crack but that's as far my knowledge goes on them

[Matt]

They are win! That's all I know haha

[Danny2009]

Question, is the Glanza just the Japanese import version of the Starlet turbo? A quick Google doesn't return any results. But yeah, these things do look interesting, but they are too small for my liking!

Nissan starlet
Toyota galanza
Isn't it?

[306Puggy]

No they are both Toyotas. Nissan did the Cherry which was also had a turbo version though. Edit: It was actually the Charade which was the turbo, these cars are all so similiar lol.

i know they go like f*ck with a td04 on and all the jap cars ive had {4} never had any issues,strong engines too.i would love that mate,buy it.my mate had a vw golf vr6 and one of these blew past him like he was standing still,lol.

[ConorTRG]

Good wee cars these, if your looking to go over the 200bhp mark you'll be into changing turbos, fmic, forging etc.

I'd go for a good suspension setup as well, coilovers are a great option but there dear enough for them, some of the lowering springs available for them are to weak and leave it handling badly imo.

Keep it well serviced aswell.

Sorry but they're one of the chavviest cars known to man. Fact is, every owner i've met has tried to have the "people don't believe it's 1.3" and "it eats 106 GTi's for breakfast" conversations with me

Won't deny they go like shit off a shovel but they have me thoroughly "meh"...

[puglove]

Girls cars!!! massively massively over rated and don't live up to the hype IMO

[Mrs puglove]

They are both starlets with the glanza as the spec....was really wanting one but refused to pay the price for what it is.went in one at the Weston meet and was surprised how quick it was

I don't know where my life has gone wrong but I agree totally with Ed. They are thoroughly meh. Standard they are GTi fast but without the fun handling good look or being a car you could take your nan out in.

Yes they are quite tunable but only cos its jap scrap so there is loads of bits made for them. IMO there is only one jap hatch of that era thats acceptable to own and thats the Sunny Pulsar GT-R. 2.0 Turbo (200sx engine) 4WD in a gti6 size/weight package. Id own one over a scooby.

That's like saying Citroen 306 ha

[Jukie88]

It's got a bunch of Hks goodies and decent coilies camber adjustment but still on the ct9 turbk already looked at scooby turbo in looking at around 200/220bho thatlt do me nicely for a weekend toy :-) but the pig will get finished first

[ConorTRG]

I dont think stock internals would like much over 200bhp.

[Jukie88]

Think if you keep sensible boost they can take upto 180 on standard turbo anything over than I've been told by owners club that tdo4 is needed and stock internals of looked after and treated with abit of respect are good for about 230 ish before I need to start spending money on forged parts :-)

[ConorTRG]

Not to bad then, never researched it that much to see exactly how far you could go, good luck with it anyway.

[Midnightclub]

Mehh, if you pop a rod it's just an excuse for a paseo 1.5 bottom end
