really dont agree with you at all here dan mate. nearly 10 years driving starlets and being in starlets, including Alan E's and Jay's beast, and never once having booted it with me in the car, have i seen any traction issues. can i ask, what are you basing this on?? a Glanza S? on the road? or a turbo on track? I have been round Kirkistown race track here in NI in Jay's 5E beast and i can assure you we never once had traction issues, hell we went out and round audis and numerous other cars that day. i have been in Alan E's drag spec car when the NOS came on at 120 mph on a tank of race fuel on a drag spec map, and again, and not once was there a traction issue. and please bear in mind, this is a fully stripped car running very light wheels pushing 430 bhp, so if any EP was going to have traction issues it would be his. i really would like to know what you are basing your comments on, what experience, who's car, where, when, tires, was the driver a retard, because any high powered EP i've ever been in has never suffered traction issues, nor has my own EP running nearly 200 bhp. running Rainsport 2s i was able to boot it any time i wanted and away it went, plenty of the mystical grip. only time i had problems was on shit tires in the wet or on a shit roundabout covered in oil and diesel. the above isn't meant to sound arsey in any way, i'm honestly looking to see what differences in experiences we've had that could explain why there would be such differences in grip between the EPs we've been in. i'm not denying an EP can have traction issues, tires, surface, clutch whatever, but i don't really agree that they suffer inherently from traction problems dude. im interested in hearing different experiences though so we can all compare and contrast notes. all helps build our knowledge base here on UKSC. maybe its something we could add to the wiki, traction improvement suggestions for EPs based on experiences of different set-ups and surfaces. Phil.

^^^^^^exactly what i was thinking. Phil.

no shortage of drag spec EPs in NI, and no shortage of non-drag-spec EPs going up the straight too (i.e Jay). anyone with any reasonable control of their right ankle shouldn't have too much trouble with traction tbh, as long as they're rocking tires that aren't shagged and it aint pissing out of the heavens. treat the accelerator like an on/off swtich and you'll have traction issues in any car, i can get my 159 to spin the wheels with traction control turned on simply by booting the accelerator. a sound ability to drive = traction. not jumping on anyone's side here as it's all very LOL and has brightened my lunch break, but i dont agree that EPs have traction issues. EP drivers maybe, EPs not necessarily. also - Matt's in charge??? i din't get this memo lol!!!!! Phil.

welcome to UKSC. Phil.

i'm going to let this go ahead for now simply because they are not something our traders offer. i doubt that they will sell on here if i'm honest, but i'm sure u probably have them advertised elsewhere aswell so hopefully you can shift them on. Cheers, Phil.

"we"?? as in, a business? i'm trying to establish if this constitutes trading or not, and if it does, then i can't allow you to sell these on here, hence my questions. a little info is all im after here. Phil.

very tasty buddy! Phil.

u dont necessarily need wiper stalks or dials. mine is a UK conversion and i'm running the UK spec. However, thats because i had a spark do my wiring custom stylee, for a simple plug and play snails is right, u would need the lot. Phil.

Lacky - you say you have more than one available?? can you explain how or why please? Cheers, Phil.

its true, but everyone loves a little slag in their life, no matter how clean they are! Phil.

then teach her to talk to your buddies too!!! because if u are unsociable at JAE i will whoop, i repeat, WHOOP your ass in front of her!!! its simple, u pull up a chair for yourself and one for her right beside me, you say "Phil this is Sam, Sam this is Phil, please don't take his sex comments seriously, now lets talk cars" and it'll be AWESOME and SOCIABLE! infact, we're doing that! or else! :p :p Phil.

when will u learn to stop bringing non-car-chicks to bloody car shows so u can chill out with the boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :p Phil.

I was recently added to a PM conversation and I want to do it myself. Steve sent me a pic of a button and photobucket is down so i cant save it to send to another person, so how do i add someone to a conversation?? cheers, Phil.

cheers dude! Phil.

waiting a while indeed, unless u am Dr Who and can travel back in time to watch his build. very, very out of date thread. shame tbh, because he had some nice cars. Phil.
