Louis Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Been looking at one of these but think wether id be able to cope with not having boost, whats it like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Been looking at one of these but think wether id be able to cope with not having boost, whats it like?Trust me i thought id miss boost, But my GT was only standard power wise, So this is much faster anyway so don't miss boost at all.. Once you hit V-Tec as well it feels much better then the Standard CT9 on my starlet ever did, Just takes a while to get to V-Tec haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Louis Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I'm sure once you get an induction kit and exhaust on it its more about the sound then I had a 1.5 vtec always said id get a proper version eventually.Looks pretty luxury inside, find it abit cheesy how they use the same switch's from the eks though, but then again toyota do the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What mods you got planned.JackI think starlets only become un-reliable when they've been messed about with though? As i had my GT for just over 2 years with no problems what so ever.And it's completely Standard at the minute, Got a few bits im planning firstly just want the Wheels powder coated in Takata Green and get the Rear window's tinted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Thought I'd give a little update on this Already... Was going to wait until the summer to do this but thought sod it, So got it in the garage and started today Fitted my HID's Yesterday, Well impressed with them!I then start to strip the entire rear end of the Car so i can under-seal it all.. As I've not got plans for much more power at the moment as it does become very expensive and i love the reliability of a car that's not overly tuned up i decided to just get the car looking cleaner then how it did when it rolled out of the showroom.Im going to be changing alot of the Suspension components for uprated and more importantly SHINY bits but that will be done over the year.For now it's just Under-seal and Clean/spray all the little Brake pipe & Fuel pipe clips and general nuts and bolts Silver Im going for the "Grey/Silver - Luminous Green - Black" Colour combination throughout the whole Exterior of the car but trying not too go over the top with it.I will upload more pictures when its all done...
