pinske Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So, reason for this is I've seen a few people on here and a couple of lads I know with N/A starlets that are either bog standard or with rolla mani etc that can manage atleast 110/120mph flat out and both of my starlets have struggled to get anywhere past 95/100mph. They have been pretty damn quick to 80ish (which is all i really want) then lose all puff. I know its not very relevant only being a 1.3 and its unsafe on the public road but I want to know if theres anything i can do to help? cheers, Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmymac101 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 When I had mine I had a cat back system with 3inch back back, apex super filter and iridium plugs and pi 40mm springs I had complete interior with 12'' subStarletsr? Had a backbox, iridium plugs, pi 40mm springs and stripped out completely We were evenly matched every time we raced so I can't see why you can't get that speed :-/ sure you clutch isn't slipping so your not getting all that NA power planted ?

morgey Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Get it on a dyno, get afr's checked.Mine would do 115 all day long had 118 a few times. Completely stock!Always check ecu for error codes. Have you got a brake sticking on?Put a 4age in, it bury's the speedo then ;) Edited July 17, 2013 by morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well, 60mph is roughly 100kph. My car pulls good up to 160kph which would be 95mph roughly. Depending on its mood it can go up to 190kph, nearly 120mph. My car has as mods that could influence this: Corolla E11 intake mani, Glanza Spoiler and M3-look Mirrors (the latter both can affect the drag coefficient). Also I saw that if the car is full of stuff or people it doesn't accelerate that quick but reaches higher top speed. If it is just full of camping stuff in the boot (heavy tent etc, roughly 120kg all in all) it accelerates nearly as good as empty but top speed is about 10-15kph higher. Maybe it is because of the higher weight ajd thus better traction and as the car is formed like a plane wing high speeds pull it off the ground a bit. So lowering woulld see a similar effect maybe. But really, with something in the boot it is quicker and steers more direct than with much of the stuff in the rear removed (tested it for a month). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaulStarletSR Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 117/118mph, about 600rpm left but as per usual when im testin on ma private road, some1 got in the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 my td04 V can only manage around 111-112 mph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 the m3 mirrors do fuck all difference except make your car look shit haha Apart from I think they look really good on a starlet because somehow they manage to follow it's form (better than on a real M3) the are way better rounded which causes the air to flow good around them, the OEM mirrors get more in the way. But it's just my opinion, each to their own ;) And as I think it's not allowed to remove side repeaters but I want vented wings in the future I need the ones I'v got in the mail, with side repeaters in the mirrors.

LukeSR Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Think I got about 118 out my n/a on the sat nav on the way to JF once Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foggy Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 170kph in a glanza S. I have had a few they all stop at 170.Think japs limited lower power cars to 170kph. I have done more in a euro spec na starlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well, Even the fastest cars HAVE to be limited to max 180kph in Japan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dickydan Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Mine doesnt pull much over 100 either :/ but no mods at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 125mph all day long. A standard na will make 100 just about, a healthy na will make 110 and a corolla mani'd oil burning beast will make 110.Power-pistonrings-aerodynamicsYour struggling with one of these. Change your oil and try again :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
