Tintin_SR Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I have had a lot of people in my SR that donâ??t believe me that my car is only a 1.3i N/A, I am always getting told that it is fast for a 1.3, and I shore have no problem betting cars with a bigger engine that my one all the time. (On the a private roads of Corse) I am not trying to bost and say that I have the fastest car in the northern hemisphere but it is not that slow you no, was just wondering if anyone ells had been told thatIs it just that sum people donâ??t know what a fast 1.3 feels like or is the SR relay a fast one??

Idrees Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 The SR has the same performance as any other NA My brother got told by many many people his was quick for a 1.3, Sham was actually finding it quite difficult to keep up with him when we went on some country roads and his has a 4EFTE engine!! NO joke!!Atleast 5 people stopped my brother and wanted a peak of whats under the bonnet, alot seemed to think it was a Turbo - maybe because of the TGTT sticker.I was actually quite impressed with the first drive in mine ;) (If I ever do take it out I don't go past 3000rpm though because thats when you can hear its a NA!!) Also I hardly take it out, once a year or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Bottom line - N/A Starlet FTW!!My mate thinks his 8V 1.4 62bhp Polo is faster, I allow him to think that!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faisal_Sol Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I get this a lot, "Is your car really a 1.3???? no wayyy" lol im not too sure how much the ecu remap has made but I do shake off a lot of cars. In first to third gear i stay side by side with my cousins Celica GT SS3. ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 My mate heard people say before look at that Starlet Turbo and I laughed even though it goes really well and my mates think its Cam'ed the way it revs ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 My old kia pride would give an na starlet a run for its money.It was surprisingly quick, the quickest 1.3 non sport model of its year infact.;)745kg mated to 69bhp woop woop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CRaZyKiD Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Has to be said, ive embarrased a few cars too.. Kept up with a N/A MR2 till 80mph... ( with the 6 speed box in )People really underestimate the power of the Starlets:DCK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 180kph Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 my old glanza s used to have an edge over sr's and the like...just wondered why Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big_T-SR Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yer, i've beaten some people at windy roads.. but thats about it. My brother had a rental car, 1.0l vvti Aygo, and had the edge in a drag race, his 2nd gear goes up to 65 mph... and 3rd goes to 90... strange that it doesnt cut off... o well, brand new car, new technology.If the 1.3 starlet can keep up with other cars with higher litreage then the aygo is even more impressive. (tho i do weight more than my bro ;))T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 glanza s came with 88 from the factory, it was only the earlier model ep82 solail and gi that came with 100 bhp which was a na spec 4efte Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo_time Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 i completly forget im driving a 1.3 until i get someone ask me when i tell them the regular answer is '' SHUT UP '' or '' FCUK ME '' ;) i like to surprise people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Yeah I get this too from me mates, they can't beleive its a 1.3. Down a private road had a little drag with a mate in a 1.8 astra sport, just to see what it could do, kept up with him till about 80 was well impressed.But yeah compared to my fiesta 1.3 its a hell of a lot quicker.Also does the UKDM starlets come with 112mph restrictor like the JDM ones? asking because thats all mine seems to go to, it feels like it can go more but just doesn't.

Nanglebadger Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 mine's seen past 112mph so i would be inclined to say no dude.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
