Nanglebadger Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 sweet, will get a full read of that later. UK-focused is cool, be nice to see an all encompassing one also! Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
INEEDNAWZZZ Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I personally liked how they knew how popular GTs/Glanzas are, but couldn't really go in-depth since manufacturers aren't really supportive of grey imports that much. Like Phil said, its cool its based on UK delivered models, especially since its hard to get detailed info on them. Also, that press picture of the SR is awesome, wouldn't mind that on a poster!

Ryan5793 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 nice little read id try that with my daily sr but it would probably roll over and burst into flames. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) I didn't know the Yaris was the spiritual successor to the starlet...... Toyota just need to release one with a turbo charger or a 2zz engine and I'll have one Edited August 3, 2014 by Eynonz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
INEEDNAWZZZ Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I didn't to now the Yaris was the spiritual successor to the starlet...... Toyota just need to release one with a turbo charger or a 2zz engine and I'll have one They did do the Vitz RS Turbo: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3532/3924138335_1ae6374910.jpgIt's basically just a Yaris T-Sport but with a tiny turbo strapped on it. Made nearly 150 BHP from the factory! There's a few knocking around in the UK, but they were on a limited production run (unlike GTs or Glanzas), so there's very few around and they're quite pricey for what they are.
