Someone Help Please !

[200bhp starlet]

hi i was with my mate on the weekend he has a seat cupra r leon the bloke at the seat garage told me that i should not go over 120 mph in my glanza as the head blows can anyone comfirm this or is it crap not that i go over 120 alot but according to the bloke i bought it off he had 150 out of it ????

also what is the top speed on glanzas please

[4efte_ryan]

he is talking shit mate,

[ste91]

All of that is absolute shit mate, as far as I know it's not possible for a Glanza to go near 150mph due to the gearing?

And the head blowing... his head is fucking blowing if he thinks a Starlet is going to blow up just because it's going at a certain speed.

ok thanks got me worried just incase i damage my new baby lol

[Guest Enzo]

you should not really be at those speeds anyways. could ram on about road safety but . . . .

your mate is talking rubbish

der she blows

:P

[Guest Enzo]

goonishly bad misinformation from this guy!

ps could you please make sure you post in the relivent section "2oo bhp starlet"

in this instance. >lifestyle general.

well first off, welcome.

secondly, it wont blow up if you go over 120, but wont be healthy.

if you do 120 on the streets, motorway etc , in my eyes your a prick if you do, one blow out or miss hap etc, it could be the end of you, or someone else's family.

sorry enzo new to all this i had a peugeot before and i wernt worth talking about

[200bhp starlet]

its not the fact i would do it on the roads just wanted to know everything bout my new car so i am a bit more clued up like you guys

[LukeSR]

I think i could get 120 out of my SR

[Galliano]

Tell me how track Starlets live..

Bullshitting greesemonkey.

[Sparky]

What an absolute numpty!!

And ste its possible to get over 150mph, stock gearing is good for 167 or something like that and TM's demo car showed 180mph on the dyno!!

[ste91]

I think i could get 120 out of my SR

you could

[ep91face]

you could

seconded

forstly welcome 200bhp starlet

secondly to clear up the shouldnt be doing 120mph on roads etc lets talk a nice long run on a track or shut off runway etc i believe the starlets can do 140-145 mph. a lad i know tracks starlets and he said hes had 140 out of his with still a bit to go so im guessing 145mph is more realistic. as for the 120mph cracking the head thats complete bull and the guy whos telling you all this is abvously a complete clot lol

hope this helps

[BAZ2CRAZY]

Change the gearing and get 300mph in a vacuum tunnel.

haha, imagine doing 300mph in a starlet

As lukeSR said, i believe 120mph is achievable in yes old N/A, youd need a fare amount of straight to do it on though..

Sparky, explain why at the redline in 5th (not limiter) did my gps show 141mph. There is NO WAY the car's can do anything more than around 150mph. The gearbox is made for a 1.3 town car. No offence but keep dreaming if you think a Glanza/GT with stock gearing can do more than that. I know cause I've done it.

The C52 (GT) Gearbox has different ratios (in 4th and 5th I think) to the Glanza box, so that's probably how.

[Sparky]

My bad forgot they had different boxes

[RobSR]

Daves hit that on a dyno which has hardly any air resistance..

It is possible to get them to do it.. Hrf did, however not without a custom gearseat, higher rev limit aswell as a hell of a lot of power

[GAZ@A&G_TUNING]

And ste its possible to get over 150mph, stock gearing is good for 167 or something like that and TM's demo car showed 180mph on the dyno!!

yeah 165 on gps has been done before

[Steve GT]

thats mad

165mph in a starlet?

[Dave L-W]

The guy at the seat garage shouldn't be working at a garage with fantastic 'facts' like that, maybe he should be an F1 engineer

[bucketep91]

who would want to do anymore than that in a starlet anyway lol you get enough rattles and shit at low speeds never mind 140 +

fuck that lol

[Dave L-W]

i can only imagine its like doing 140mph on a roller skate, don't think i fancy that one.

By the way guys a starlet could do 180mph easy.........................If you through it out of a plane!haha

that is flawed mate on a few aspects.

the the c52 and c56 box and gearsets can be found in quite a few other toyotas that are not "town cars"

an engine with a higher revlimit and decent power you could atain over 150mph gps figure on stock gearging. the speedo would be well out though reading probably more.

think il keep dreaming then
