Steve GT Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 ^^^ haha modify the starlet a bit and you'll piss over redtops mateI've creamed hundreds running about 130 bhp lol now its more i dont even bother with them lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 C20XE's are outdated and underpowered. 150bhp from a 2.0? Toyota/Honda get more than that from a 1.6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 i get 200bhp from a 1.3 go work in a toyota garage ill love you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 The 150bhp is a standard figure, so the glanza's 133bhp standard is beaten by the vauxhall,You had to tune the glanza to get that power, and for there age the vauxhalls are powerful carsI have two redtops, mk2 astra and mk1 nova converted, and they are both quick, i dont care what anyone else says lolGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 i get 200bhp from a 1.3 go work in a toyota garage ill love you Indeed but I'm talking N/A here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZcxS2pQiM0It's not even a 20v and still has over 200bhp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shane_o Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 theres loads of arguments for and against vauxhall, all that i have had have been good fun and one i find a home for my 2ltr turbo lump i will probably go back to the vauxhall scene. that said im loving my gt but cant get anywhere near my vauxhall engines power unless i spend a load of money, id go work for toyota but my loacall one is only a small one unfortunly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ToyotaTech15 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 yes, i was mainly saying that they were fast for there time, My astra was out in 1989 and at that time a 150bhp car that can do 140mph was rapid lol.Im more in them for the fun, the nova im builing in my opinion will beat a starlet around knockhill circuit, but im not about wining, i only bought the astra and nova as fun and cause they are rare.Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 oh yeah i agree there brill engines and very fun lola lad i know has q redtop in a nova on twin webber cars 2 words TRACK SLAG haha its true porn honestly lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 lol @ Rube This thread was destined from the start I dont mind Vauxhall's, old school Astras and Nova's especially, but everywhere you go and there Vauxhall's theres people just syaing "RedTop innit"Far too common for my liking, but thats because its so easy to do and parts are so cheap etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza-Love Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 i like some vauxhauls.. but majority i hate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 the best corsas for a laugh have got to be them with the 3.0l v6 omega engine in it. there are far too many redtops round here but not as many with the v6 engines in them. now they are fun lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 agreed they fail at that lol but on a rolling start (definiatly not standing) they go like rock hard shit off a well polished shovel lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Well my mate has a h22 honda... it beat a v6 corsa... and i pulled 4 car lengths lol soo... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 must of been running shite then them fuckers go like fuck loldepends if it was the 2.5 or 3.0l v6 as well lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 According to parkers, the 3.0 Omega is 207hp, and they do a 3.2 with 217hp, not so shabby in a Corsa or Nova I doubt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 yeh thats right the 2.5l is the cavvy engine lolyeh well its certainly different and better than a red top engine lol just totally screws the handling up though having that much power and weight in a light front wheel drive car lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 207bhp from a 3.0 lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
