the guy with the glanza insured on swinton, with the coilovers and the thicker rear ARB. The original source of my 2nd hand wisdom. lol :clown:
It's a nice car, but we all call it "the fridge" becuase it's so white and ugly it looks like a kitchen appliance. Theres no denying it's quick though...
my mate was 19 when he insured his and got it down to something in the region of 850-950 fully comp import. And he's lost his licence before for speeding.
Theres light at the end of the tunnel :)
insurance will be more than the 1.6 but significantly less than a 172. I have a mate who has found pretty cheap insurance on his. Gimme a PM if you buy one and I'll ask him the company.
bare in mind they are only 135bhp (but bare in mind lots of torque) as standard, and as standard would be out paced by a Ph1 172. glanzas are light so have great power to weight ratios.
Becuase they are turbo though they are easy to tune. Just need to get a fuel cut defender and start winding...
glanza will be a damn sight quicker and a damn sight uglier.
Piece of piss to tune as it's boosted. Get on the glanza forum and when buying try to buy one with coilovers already fitted. The uprated thicker (can't remember manufacturer) rear anti roll bar makes it handle a bit more french also ;)
I'm about 3 miles from silvertone in northamptonshire. If a CS user offered me £900, I couldn't refuse.
It's on clio16valver (good forum BTW) but not much interest to date. May relist and new lower price.
the 3 best options are
1)your flush - buy an ITG maxogen
2)your not that flush - Buy a BMC CDA
3)Your handy and a bit skint- make a maxogen using an espace V6 airbox (search it in guides)
It is the cheapest way to do ITBs. But consider that you need the right injectors, then you need a completely custom manifold. Then you need standalone engine management, and a loom built for it. You may need to upgrade the fuel pump I should imagine the internals will be ok as long as you don't...
