would you be put off by it having a bump?
on the possitive side though, at least you know how bad/minor the bump is. its only a wing and bonnet.

I guess there talking about standard ones.
The one on youtube has 'TD05 hybrid @ 1.5bar boost= 292bhp & 246ft lbs of torque without nitrous. 351bhp & 320 ft lbs torque with nitrous. '

Exactly anything can be fast with enough money threw at it. A bump would put me off unless dirt cheap.

No matter if they are a 1.3 turbo, a few mods and around 180bhp they will be fast.

As I said to you before mate I very nearly bought one. Insurance is rather expensive though as they are all inports. Cheepest I could find was over £1000 when it was only 500 on the sport.

i have a starlet, not a glanza. (same engine part numbers though) anyway, it understeers a silly amount :/ handles absolutly awful.
if you could sort that, which you can, they have like 4-5 different ARB's for the car, then extra chassis bars, coilovers etc etc, if you got it to handle it'd be fucking immense wee car!
