tongeymbk Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 hi have just signed up for the forum i dont actually own a starlet i own a stripped 106 rallye 16v gti engine converstion!just been out for a drive out and having a play with a focus when a starlet joined in well more like got in the way!was a light purple one with dark multispoke alloys had the forums website in the back window!i live in washignton tyne and wear just wondered if anyone knew who it was!it couldnt have been any bigger than a 1.3 as i managed to overtake it and get about 3 cars lenght ahead of it on a slip road Quote
AndyT Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Out of interest you didn't buy your 106 off a chap called Steve Sebborn in Colchester, Essex did you? Quote
Robbo Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 I doubt it was bigger then a 1.3 too, considering that the only bigger engine would be a 1.5 diesel. Quote
tongeymbk Posted January 1, 2006 Author Posted January 1, 2006 no i didnt buy it from someone in essex!thought the turbos were a 1.3 turbo? anyway not arguing about engine sizes lolits just wasnt any match for the pug i got a mouthfull of obsceneties when i went past him lol dont think he was 2 happy Quote
ilghap Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Is it a turbo you raced or just a 1.3 NA??I have raced a 106 GTi with the stock turbo and I managed to kill it. Quote
*Toymota* Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 you would of known if it was a turbo because you would of been eating its dust mate lol. must of been a 1.3na Quote
*Toymota* Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 thats what i love about the starlet. its a hidden gem!! Quote
whitestarlet Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 i cant think of who has a light purple starlet!! though it prob will be N/A 1.3 Quote
gaz Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 yeah ive beat a 206 gti easy peasy.the rallyes are alot lighter and they are quick, but ive beat quicker cars. Quote
DAN_GTT Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 Saxo VTS *YAWN*106 GTI lmao, leave it out mate ;) Dont even think they do a "light purple" GT anyway (i havent seen one) unless its been repainted Quote
lobotomy Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I can't imagine who it would be-- only a few people would have a ukstarletclub.com window sticker... and you'd imagine they'd be on here regularly?? Can I just ask is it a series1 or 2 rallye you have? The series 1's were 1.3's aswell and put out 100bhp if I remember rightly? The series2's Had the 1.6 8v and put out 105BHP -- A standard Glanza or GT should still have you though I'd imagine because they're about the same weight.Compare that to a standard starlet 75BHP SR you'll have a clear advantage.

turbo_time Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 im still running my standard setup and manage to pull away from my mates 137bhp clio 16v so a rally wouldnt be a prob ;) Quote
scutch0 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 hmmm, dont know of any purple starlets on this site!! the only one ive seen in the uk was dave burwash's old car, but that was a 300bhp monster!!Rich. Quote
whitestarlet Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 it couldnt have been any bigger than a 1.3 as i managed to overtake it and get about 3 cars lenght ahead of it on a slip road<{POST_SNAPBACK}>just a thought he wasnt braking for the end of the slip road was he???? Quote
*Toymota* Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 cant wait to get me glanza now! hopefully in the next 3 months!! Quote
DAN_GTT Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe he wasnt even trying, at the end of the day why would you even waste fuel on a french car to prove its faster, you just dont need to! lol Quote
gaz Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 Maybe he wasnt even trying, at the end of the day why would you even waste fuel on a french car to prove its faster, you just dont need to! lol <{POST_SNAPBACK}>didnt you race one the other week? lol Quote
AndyT Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 He said it was a stripped 106rallye with a GTI engine conversion.A standard gti engine is around 130bhp? I should think that a stripped 106rallye weighs no more than 800kg?So would prob be a good match with a Standard or slightly modded turbo starlet but it would no way have rinsed it, as others have said it must have been a 1.3n/a starlet. Quote
scutch0 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 hmm, depends which gti engine... if its a 106 gti engine it'll be about 120 bhp. Rich. Quote
BlackTarw Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Perhaps it was like nanglebadgers one? 1.3 SR? I'm guessing a 106 rallye with a gti engine would be pulling low 7s to 60, alot faster than a stock SR, but against a 1.3 turbo, doubtful especially as most of the members cars are modified.Mind you they could have fluffed a gear change or something and are shouting "BOLLOCKS!" I know I would be Quote
tongeymbk Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 hi havent been on for a few days completely forgot about this post lolmine is a series 1 rallye on a l plate completely stripped, 106 gti engine running cat cams, vernier pulleys, bit of headwork done, remapped, simota induction kit pug group n straight through exhaust and quckshift kit!had the car on the weigh bridge weighed in at 820kgand rrd at 165bhpi see 0-60 in just under 7 seconds and ran a 14.6 quater at 101 mphand for those of yous with highly modded cars lead me to a track and then well see who eats whose dust with those laggy turbo engines of yours Quote
