  1. im going to get shot down here lol but 300bhp in a starlet is too much. wheelspin is pretty useless.

    for outright speed and acceleration in the real world 250 is the magic number - with a decent diff and suspension

    in the dry you should really be looking at just about hooking up fully in 2nd gear.

    my old car had 253bhp on a td04 and ported and polished head. dave burwash god rest his soul said it was

    the fastest street built starlet he had ever built at the time. i was hitting full boost below 4000rpm and it was fucking awesome.

    in the dry weather there really wasn't anything short of supercars that would pull on it through the gears.

  2. As above, I'm after a good condition gearbox, preferable as close to Dundee as possible. glanza or gt, not too fussed! not looking for an lsd box just standard.




  3. Its changed a lot since I first found the forums, I remember when no one had td04 kits, hybrid ct9's were all the rage! Back when i bought mine most people never know what the heck it was that I just bought witch was what attracted me to them in the first place, The forums (tgtt and uksc) weren't too busy, as the years past starlets got more popular and the forums got busier, more traders started appearing and parts were a lot easier to get a hold of, now its starting to die down a bit and a lot of starlets getting broken, also its a lot harder to get a good one now a days even harder to get a standard one, soon there will only be the good ones left.



    I've had mine 8 years now and don't think I'll ever sell it, personally I don't mind it getting quieter, I prefer it that way, less stupid questions getting asked everyday, less chnce of getting ripped off and prices going back up.


  4. Hey guys and girls, me and a few mates are heading to Malta at the end of the month for a week, just wondering if anyone has been? any recommendations? places to see things to do? also to any of the guys who live there was wondering if there will be any drag racing on between 29 th May and 5 th June? would love to check out the drag strip!
