Socks Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 okay saying you have beaten this and done that, saying you have this and have that but why not show some proof.. Then blow your own trumpet by all means Rob. I've raced a Ferrari lolz Quote
roundie69 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Those are some funny comments ;-)and beat it....... ;-) Quote
roundie69 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 When do you get yours back? how come you went down the 1.8 route, looked tidy in the race tech garage when i saw it back in Nov. Quote
Ollieh17 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Least you use your car mate. Everyone jumps on their high horse when it comes to some things/ people and lick arse for the next person! Use the car how you want! Quote
Amjad Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Need to see more big power starlets tearing up track, get on it Quote
daniel_g Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Need to see more big power starlets tearing up track, get on it Not a whole lotta use when they dont make full boost till 6k lol. Quote
Amjad Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Not a whole lotta use when they dont make full boost till 6k lol. When I'm still on a shitty9b I consider anything bigger as "big power" Quote
Phil Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Yeah bad times lol Meh. EDIT glanzaMac just seen your 'issues' with fitment in the other thread - you've every right to be in a bad mood Lol Phil you got it all sorted yet? Phil Quote
roundie69 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Cheers Ollieh 17, there are some decent people on here. I'll let the kids vent there rage on somebody they don't know. If that works for them then carry on ha ha! Quote
AdamB Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Thread title should be changed to " What can a 400bhp Glanza beat in a straight line" I hedge my bets and say that a well setup 240-250bhp chassis could lap faster than a 400bhp starlet on quite a few tracks in the UK. (Capable driver of course) Edited May 27, 2015 by AdamB Quote

roundie69 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 I would agree with that, it is easier to drive and more fun on the Lower setting of 300 bhp. The top setting does put a smile on your face tho. Tricky one:-) Quote

Glanza Mac Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 you got it all sorted yet? PhilNah not sorted, still at work and only found these problems last night, will have a look at the weekend if I get some time off :-) Rob. Quote
RobSR Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I'd be slightly concerend if you couldn't get away from the majority of cars you first posted. None are particularly mental.FairPlay that you are enjoying your car tho but like mentioned straight line warriors piss me off too. No ability whatsoever is required Edited May 27, 2015 by RobSR Quote
roundie69 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Out of all of them the seat Ibiza was the quickest, quite impressed, although the glanza is 350 kgs better off it did go well Edited May 27, 2015 by roundie69 Quote
roundie69 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Jimmy mac I'll put one up , I do have it somewhere ... Cheers Quote
goldenvtr Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) this is why l only use my gt on a "wide fast track" when i had just over 300bhp it was WAY faster on a circuit than the 412 its got now ( due to bigger turbo) its still good on a tighter track but exit speeds are reduced due to lag.... so i use my mx5 for smaller tighter tracks and the GT for all out speed. 400bhp is alot of power in a starlet, but my 450bhp supra is just as capable at street speeds as it has a MUCH bigger power band. andystarlet with a 1.3 or 1.5 lump will only make good power form 5k rpm onwards IMO. even my mx5 is faster point to point... then again i did build my GT for all out speed lol P.S - id suggest to stay out Birmingham street racing , i know a few people that still go. no matter how much fun it is, it dosnt compair to a proper trackday... yes i been there done that but what do i know. question is can your fast street car survive/take the abuse on a proper track ?
