not a starlet...or a toyota...but...

[Jay]

hi guys. i know its not a starlet..but the car is for sale and im on the hunt for a nice glanza, just gotta get rid of this first. just thought i'd show you my car seens im a member

and what she used to look like back in the day.....

Jay

[SiCaln]

so what have u done to it mate and why did u get rid of the sideskirts and bumper?

[Guest Enzo]

thats minted mate,

looks alot better without the bodykit

i love that type of look, tuff rims on a smooth bodywork

dont linch me people but ive always had a soft spot for corsas and novas done right like that.

that must be plenty fast mate, is that an xe i spy in there?

[gaz]

i hate them but if you doing them my opinion is to do it like the top pics, youll get more respect that way and it looks better too.

top work.

[Jay]

thanks guys

took the kit and everything off because i've grown out of tacky stuff like that. it handles so much better now and is alot quiker without all the added wieght. its fast, but a glanza with the same power would be alot quicker. yeah its an xe under there, probably running around 155bhp. only done exhaust and viper induction kit.

took it up santa pod and it ran a 15.3. that was with it like in the last pics. haven't had the chance to take it up there since shedding wieght. should be good for mid to high 14's now though.

[Guest Enzo]

how does it handle with that engine bein so heavy also

how much are you selling it for mate?

[SiCaln]

yeah does look quite smart mate good job

[Jay]

handles alright. understeers quite a bit but you'd expect that from a fwd car with an engine not designed for it! a pug 106 gti will out handle it and a saxo vts, but they are good handling cars to begin with. the steering was very very heavy with 17's, no power steering and big engine. but with 15's steering is a lot lighter.

im after £3500 for it. and considering the conversion cost me £3000, i'd say its quite a bargain.

[SiCaln]

Good price Geo knows everythin bout anythin to do with cars, but i dont so whats the engine from?

[Jay]

engines a 2 litre 16v found in calibras, astra gsi'sand cavalier gsi's.

[scutch0]

nice to see you on here lad!!

this is the only car that has ever scared me!! its VERY VERY fast.

and that was before he lost all the weight.

tis a bargain, by the way jay, im trying to convince james with the astra to buy it, but now he's intent on a suzuki baleno gsr!!!

Rich.

[Jay]

cheers rich

took sam out in it last night and he was very scared

if she doesn't sell for what i want then im going to get throttle bodies for her, try and get it up to near 200+ bhp. that should be fun.

[Guest Enzo]

yea there are some scary tuned red tops out there,

10k redline anyone?

[SiCaln]

how much would throttle bodies cost for her then?

[Guest Enzo]

alot of money

nice bits of kit

[Jay]

yeah there the ones i've been looking at enzo, the tp208 kit is £1600+vat i believe. im not sure what other things are needed on top of this package though. still rather have a little japmobil though

[Robbo]

I hate the look of the early corsa's the newer ones are alright though. at least its got a decent engine!

[Guest Enzo]

im the oposit, the newer ones are total girl mobiles,

wheres that corsa above shares alot of similaritys with an ep91

[Jay]

robbo, i prefer the older ones like mine to the new corsa c. but its all down to personal opinions so

they are rather similar looking to a 91 yes.

[lobotomy]

GSi bumper and anthrecite softstars! Would look the kiddy.

A guy from mauchline had a 2l corsaB with throttle bodies, it was a quick car. He's apparently got an astra turbo now

[Jay]

yeah theres one from up in scotland thats got 250bhp, does 0-60 in 4.97 seconds wouldn't mind that sort of power, but dont want to spend silly money!! sofstars are to heavy! mine are pro race 1.2's, think there weight is around 5.5kg a wheel. gsi kit with softstars is a cool look though
