Turbo Goose Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Sorry to post this as these sort of things get posted a lot but now I'm even starting to get annoyed with people who pluck random figures out the air. Sent him a rude email telling him what I thought about his BHP because I was bored lol http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/toyota-starlet-gt-turbo-230bhp/1010251266 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wssoR Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 to be fair hes got a 'loud' exhaust and a filter, they usually add around 100brake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StuDoc 72 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Nah its the strut brace with it being lighter than standard it allows the engine to work harder giving him the extra 100hp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Could just be a typo. She probably thinks you are a right knob end. Starlet police on this forum are mad. Edited February 21, 2013 by DavidAshton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
