Si@Fiske Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 yesterday was a long day, was about a 2h 45m trip up to bradford where wrc cars are based, to finally pick up the GT which i put a deposit on last week ;)After drving it for about 4 hours solid getting used to it, i have say im very very happy , the performance is amazing for a standard car, and the handling is absolutely sublime. Its on some different suspension, but i dont know what , but the grip is unbeliveable. It grips better in the wet than my SR in the dry!The next stage is to wait for all the parts to come that i have ordered, and then to get them fitted Also i think the brakes need to be sorted as they are a bit 'spungy' lolall in all im very happy, and cant wait to get the new parts fitted ;)Si Quote Link to post Share on other sites

briggers Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 i remember the drive back in mine i said i wasnt gonna rag it on the motorway but this bmw was behind me and my mate was in the slow lane and i drove forward as my mate was videoing me n the new car (him being in the other car) and i wanted to c how it shifted so let the bw go passed and immediatly pulled back on to fast lane and gave it some welly and kept up with him till 110 then his being a 2litre he pulled away but i was still shocked as didnt know much about starlets and they were a 1.3t. brilliant. o and scary moment went to indicate to get in fast lane (window wipers came on ) got really confused hessitated pulling out then decided to go mean while tryin to turn window winders off and and nearly hit some old blokes car as he didnt c me indercate and didnt slow down at all.

RobSR Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 He said it was standard???engine wise yes it is otherwise no, its got a HKS Turbo Timer, the Toms alloys that you can see, some sort of suspension, and supposedly a apexi exhaust...Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
