1991 starlet owner Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 So the starlet has been off the road for nearly a year now in the grandads garage. Booked in for MOT this morning.. Went and fire her up on jumpo leads last night and all ran fine.. On the way to the MOT test station I have totally forgotten how incredible light and capable the little starlets gear box is!!! Such a dream to drive after driving a micra for a year (which incidently massively failed mot tuesday) and my brothers bmw mini cooper s for the past week. A very good car but I can't get over how heavy thee gearbox feels!!Will try and go LSD too in future with more power and get gear no.3 done as it crunches with hard or aggresive shifting(I guess as a result of worn synchro).

5T4R7ET N/A Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I would say that the micra gearbox's are not the bad, but the starlet clutch is much better than the micra. LSD will make a huge difference, many agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Aaaahh right! Do you still get wheel spin with lsd?? Good tyres help I suppose too... And I've got an exceedy organic stage 1 clutch I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
