Toyota Starlet Glanza V?
- Thread starter H12EAY
- Start date
RB FF 182
This is my mate Jacqui's:
1997 Toyota Starlet Glanza
15" SSR Type C Lightweight Alloys
HKS Mushroom Filter Induction Kit
Limited Slip Diff
Turbo Timer
Boost Gauge
Variable Airflow Control System
2 Bride Bucket Seats
Full Safety 21 Roll Cage
Laguna Splitter
Tein Coilovers
Momo Steering Wheel
Wind Deflectors
I've driven this wee car a few times and it's a wee rocket, recently had the boost turned down and about level with the 182.
From 50 in third gear I cant keep up! But catch it eventually.
It's had the w@nked out mirrors taken off it and replaced with standard items and looks alot better now. Just needs rid of the head light covers.
Not bad for £2000 taxed and tested.

Mine had Tein coilovers (albeit a Gt, not a Glanza) and handled much, much better than my 172. It had camber adjustable top mounts, with pillowball mounts all round, and Enkei wheels and it was genuinely amazing. The one car I really, really regret selling. At the time I was 23 with 3 years ncb and it cost me £300 a year fully comp to insure through Elephant, was £68 for 6 months tax, and would do 80 miles on quarter of a tank with a steady right foot.
I only had basic mods of a WEPR de-cat exhaust and Apexi intake, and Sard BOV (The one car having a BOV really made a differance on) I had to move the intake away from the front bumper as it kept hitting the fuel cut. Had amazing overtaking abilities too. I fitted Recaros from an sw20 Mr2 turbo which made a huge differance.
I'd buy another one tomorrow if I sold my 172. Can you tell I like them?

same coileys as I had by the sounds of things. Cost 1k but worth it. That's with cusco front and rear braces, whiteline arbs and anti lift kit and uprated panhard rod. I had a jcw gp understeering in front of me on a roadabout..now that can't be bad.

Used to work with Dean. Was a really nice car when I saw it, was a couple of years ago now though. is it still as clean as it was?

My insurance price was with all mods declared. I'd imagine even with mods, it'll be a darn sight cheaper than a 182.

I had a 1996 ep92 glanza running a TD04 @ 232 bhp. Had trd coilovers on and handled like a piece of sh*t tbh! Lol. If you want a well handling car then forget it, I tried everything and it got no better! In a straight line it was awesome though! 1/4 mile in low 13 secs with LOTS of wheelspin 
In the end I sold it because the built quality is like a Nissan micra - terrible! Everything rattled and broke and snapped off, build was very poor and cheap! Also i was sick of my mates taking the piss calling it a pizza delivery car! Lol
oh and at 20 with no years no claims I paid £600 tpft. Can't remeber who it was through though? Some of them come up on insurers listings as a group 3 because of how they were registered, find one of them and ur onto a winner with the insurance!
Il try dig some pics out of my old one

Found a pic of her, looks horrible now! I loved it when I was 20! This was 4 years ago remeber! Had a really really expensive Blitz fmic on too

Where your trd coilovers not rock solid? Can't remember but I'm sure the trd ones are not suited to our roads.
White Evo V
IIRC they were fully adjustable. Although yes they were rather stiff!

I had bc's, they had 32 point adjustable dampeners but even on the softest setting still far to firm, spring rate and damper rate.
I got a set of meister R's and they where much better suited to uk roads, and made my car not sound rattly at all, like a new car although most parts on my car where new lol.

Mine was solid! Abused it all the time and never missed a beat!
Like most Jap engines, they will take a lot of abuse.
I've just bought myself a Glanza and I absolutely love it, by all means not the best looking car in the world but they are nippy for a 1.3, especially when you take off the low boost restriction in 1st and 2nd
Reading around on the starlet owners club they seem to be pretty tunable aswell! Cant wait to get going on mine

I had a starlet turbo before my pulsar (before my clio) and loved it! while it was standard it was super reliable never once let me down till i fitted a td04l turbo kit on it then it went pop (big ends turned to mush). I only ran it with the standard intercooler grafted on and at low boost but it still made 198bhp on rollers at only 9psi!! As for the handling, they're not anywhere near in same league as a 182/172 but not bad at all.
Yeah the td04 seems like quite a popular mod, lol at running it on the standard intercooler! Need to splash some cash on my suspension :dead:
Fiesta ST-3
great runners, fast as f**k too!
but my god they look aweful

yeah tdo4 is prob 1 of the best routes to go,also glanzas have weaker rods than the gts. my bfs standard mani is long gone it now runs a equal length zisco mani with screamer for better boost control. coilovers do make a difference but a rear anti roll bar is a wise upgrade
