    star**** turbos..

    (starlet turbos)
    my mate had one and wrote it off. there alright but nothing special..

    But everyone around by me is killing them now.. its all they go on about..

    2bh i think there over rated and ****! few ppl got some running 200-250bhp and they don't seem that fast :S.. lag lag lag then they go..

    anyone raced one in there 5? hope you blew it to bitts

    just wondering what you lot on here thought about them..?

    I like the way you've done the topic title; The word star, followed by some stars. That's quite ingenious

    TBH I like them, but insurance is way to high on them compaired to the 5.
    Im not about 'lights racing' so i big bhp claims dont impress me.

    i dont think i have an advantage..

    there just not put out to what people think they am..
    been in my mates civic type-r with filter, manifold raced a 250bhp one. didnt really pull much 2bh. was side by side til he hit booost.

    raced a standard 5 gtt and it pulled all the way to 80mph with my mate. i was well chuffed.

    good solid cars, sadly its the chavs natural progression from corsas/saxos

    but i wouldnt think they were cool compared to the r5

    wasnt there a starbo vs r5 event mentioned a while back, should someone offer the invitation to them? i think it would shut starbo mouths up once and for all, and when their 250bhp starbo gets beat by a 180bhp r5 then u can tell them to their faces to stop chatting horse sheet

    my bro has a glanza its running a forged engine,20psi and it pulls 116mph terminals,tbh the glanza engine is far better than the c1j ,stronger,easier to get big power,
    my mam also has one as a daily runner it was at the last motorscope rollingroad day and made 206bhp@12psi i have also raced a civic type r in this car and left it for dead

    prob would be a good engine to put in a five,they seem to be appearing in a few different cars eg novas, minis etc
