this blokes car is lighty modded. Exhaust, decat, 4 pot brakes, coilovers. I'd say the starlet has traction issues. adjusting the power via the throttle is how your handing the lack of traction not the car. if it has no traction issues you'd easy be able to floor the car in low gears and it would grip and go. my RX8 never wheel spins in the dry. it has so much grip. flooring a decent powered starlet will just spin the wheels up. Not sure if i'm explaining it right. hopefully you'll see sense in this.
