daniel_g Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Its actually a wonder starlets are not extinct at the rate that they were blowing up and getting broken, its not as bad now it seems, but a couple year ago there was a breaking thread once a day because someone blew up their engine fsThat being said its easy to do, youre not a true starlet owner until youve blew a 4E into tiny pieces, its all part of the fun Quote
ReeceGolliker Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Finding one thats not been too molestered seems to be a wise move! Nothings gone wrong with mine (although I've only had it since november). Quote
Mike_trx Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 130k miles on mine, original headgasket, daily driven and hammered when I want to. Still running good after a long time at 1 bar or more, although i've had 3 clutches and 2 turbos. Keep it serviced, get handy with spanners and look after it, it'll last as long as the rep if treated well. Quote
Vturbo Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 110k miles on mine, running 1 bar on ct9 it's been spot on no problems at all since 2010..just gotta keep them well serviced and treat them with some respect generally Quote
Nicholai Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 The problem you have in a way is these cars are bought and drove hard as they are cheap little pocket rockets. When you go look at it unless you know the guy or maybe seen It on here you don't really know how the car has been treated. You like to hope that it has been well kept and maintained to a high standard. My integra has no history as such but it was well maintained as I have all the receipts from the previous owner since he imported it into the uk. All the services he did which where only a few months apart different pieces replaced so I know this car was well looked after and I have carried it on. I would buy another car this way if it didn't have any garage history but had lots of paper work of parts bought like service items. The only thing that it would need as a must would be a cambelt done buy a garage that is the only thing that my Teg did get done at a garage. Quote
richglanzav Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) 'funny onion' Everyone knows who mapped your car, give it a fucking rest! Countless amounts of folk have had amazing results and are still spot on to this day so that means shes gotta keep quiet and not mention anything? you make me laugh its a forum she can put what she wants. if someone has a bad experience with anyone they can write about it if they want to. if someone has a great reputation it dont necessarily mean they are all that great. i found this out with tm developments.

Matt1878 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Not to get involved here with it because I have good relationships with both Charlotte and TD but I don't think MattyD is saying that people should not have their say. By all means people should share their experiences with tuners, traders and members as all feedback should be heard.. Looking at MattyD's post he is saying that Charlotte has had her say, posted the issues that she has had and it's all there for people to see. That should be enough. Matt. Quote
