Chav chariot in my opinion but I bet it goes extremely well :cool:
What ever floats your boat :smiley:
(I can't talk as I'm driving a bright yellow seat ibiza at the mo with white wheels while the Golf is off of the road :sick:)
-
It goes really really well and surprises a lot of people..
It is a chav chariot but hey ho im not here to please people i like driving and this is a good drivers car.. i got fast.. stops well.. handles great with the lsd.. and i averaged 46mpg on way back from wales yesterday :cool:
A3 was sensible thats the problem everyone that knows me knows im not sensible.. also this needs tlc so it keeps me busy along with the golf :smiley:

If you decide to venture over 100mph be vary the back end
Has a tendency to lift due to the preastoric rear suspension set up and the
Single rear beam,seen some absolute wrecks
-
I like these, a mate used to have one and it was well fast!!
I forgot that they even existed to be fair :grin:
-
my brother has the starlet turbo, a tad older then your glanza with the twin headlights had it for 7 years, running a td05 forged pistons and rods and thicker HG and loadsa boost with PFC, youd be surprised how many bigger cars you can suprise round twisties and off the lights,
-
I like it, two fingers to the haters!
I got my eye on a 91 Swift 4x4 Turbo atm :lipsrsealed:
-
chavvy, but bet it doesent hang around
-
You Live in Essex, and that car belongs in Barry,
Your life can now be like a Gavin and Stacy episode.
Rhyso can be Uncle Bryn.

Not that keen on its look but I love how rapid they are. Pokey little brutes :evil:
-
I quite like it mate. they are "chavvy" cars, but at the same time, they show up 90% of the cars on the roads today.
-
Not sure why people need to own lots of different cars. Just by one that does it all :undecided:

Well I work closer to home do only a 10 mile commute so this car is great..
Len you know me :laugh:

Pocket rocket :afro:
-
Nice! looks good..
I dont know why people think its chavy. Ive never seen this car badly modded and chavs can barely afford booze and cigarettes let alone insurance for a starlet. :grin:

When insurance goes down I'm going to buy something diesel for a daily car and something a bit stupid.
If I had it my way I'd have a van, a comfortable powerful derv and something a bit silly.

You've already got the silly part.

Great little car! Nice one! :cool:

Cheers guys.. everyone seems a bit 50/50..
The car is great.. but.. its not german by any stretch of the imagination.. people moan about parts failing on golfs and such i know ive been there.. but these cars are something else everything is built bad from day one.. the dash and whole interior is plastic and not great.. the engines are bulletproof like german but again once modded they are temperamental like the starlet for instance to mod you need to fit a 'fuel cut defender' to fool the standard ecu so you can run higher boost without it cutting in like limp mode, these in different weather conditions play up and in turn cause fuel cut its a catch22 situation..
Im finding it a fun little car thats nippy it just needs some tlc and personal touches to make it more german homely..

Is it fully loaded?
