my m8 just brought a mint starlet turbo will that quicker than my 5?
my m8 just brought a mint starlet turbo will that quicker than my 5?
probably will be, still rather have a five though, starlets are fookin fugly
1 bar of boost and big front intercooler and few other little bits his starlets has got so wot do u think m8?
didnt u mention your mate had one that did something like 140mph in fourth gear?
imo the starlet is like a modernised r5gtt, performance is decent enough but still looks like a micra, seems to be the choice tho after the chavs get bored of saxos and corsas
anyways standard on standard i wouldnt think there was much difference, as for modifying them is all about who has the biggest wallet, but theres one thing a starbo can never buy, and thats the cool retro'ness of the r5
yeh i be pissed off if hes quicker than me i might hang myself m8
spend your money on freshening up your gtt mate
the credit crunch is getting to me my 5 is broke at the mo and it needs to fixed by the 7 feb that when the starlet is coming out to play wot shall i do? m8 help
i love my 5 its my second one now i would nt sell it no way i got to take starlet on to prove its better than jap crap
i was driving it the other day and i went sideways theres a oil leak that went on the drivers tyre and got a carb prob too
chop chop then mister, u wont even be lining up next to him by the looks of it
im thinking of doing a quick engine rebuild with few new bits need a few more bhp o
good luck with it, my money is on the micra tho
have belief in my 5 i will try my best and let u know on the outcome we should challenged the stalet owner club down the pod
in a tuned state the stalet is always going to be more powerful.
but this doesnt nessesarily mean it'll be quicker!
you have to remember the gtt c1j is an OLDskool pushrod engine and it still keeps up with todays ohv engines.
you get more power for less money from the 5 without a doubt.
its not worth trying to always be the quicker car, lets face it , you can get a scooby now for like 2.5 k, 4wd, lots of power, good solid engines, and it will beat 90% of things in its price range. just get what you enjoy and be done with it.
starlet all day, my cousins beats me im ashamed to say :< maybe when i cam the car things will be different? lol
Some lad local to me had one and I destroyed it on a bar of boost. Even if the five was not quite as quick I would still have the five over the starlet any day of the week. NO RICE
Yes thats the guy.Suprised his car hasnt sold yet its a good car.
i really dont see the appeal of starlets , they are ugly as hell, they have no heritage, they certainly are not retro cool, yes they maybe fast but lets face it compared to there jap counterparts which cost around the same they are slow, and well.. need i go on.
its the new chav mobile, the natural progression from saxos, corsas, to be honest they all have as much heritage as each other, dont get ne wrong they are a decent solid motor, but so is a toyota carina
dont forget the pulsar gtir raj! u can get them for around 3k now and the standard engines are good for 300bhp
there was a lad round here who was aiming for 300bhp or was it 400bhp? cant remember but he was planning on spending 9 grand just for the engine
You can get a good 400bhp out of the stock Pulsar engines... 3rd gear might suffer with large amount of torque though. I saw one stripped clean, but I never had problems when mine was running well.
ive read what you guys have to say on the matter, but i still agree with the thread title. Without a doubt a witch will be quicker, they use broomsticks and sheet innit! brap!
i let u know soon when i race my m8 and any free hybrid turbos will be appreciated lads lol
ditch your interior if u aint already!!! even if its just2 race him.... may give u the edge lol!
yeh i will strip my interior and take the sub out lol and i mite take the bonnet off
yeah anythin u dont need! get it out... passenger seat the lot.
i take it all out cd player door cards ect just hope i dont get pull by the onk onk lol
atleast we dont use chop sticks to eat rice lol we eat head geasket lol
and while your at it take off the spoiler for better aerodynamics (see thread) https://rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=2870, not forgetting to fold the passenger seat for less wind resistance
Sorry to bring an old thread up but would like to say, with the 285 cam...i win lol
so you wipped ya m8 in his startlet then?
Indeed, private road of course
i abused 1 last night.. they are nice looking imo tho
Indeed, I miss my car Need to get it sorted and back on the road asap!
