I havent read through the whole thread but to answer the first question in the thread THE IS NO WAY IN HELL A STOCK EP WOULD BE ANYWHERE NEAR AN EK9 RUNNING 200BHP/stripped with the 1.8 JDM type R lump.
I have this set up, 1.8 engine running around 200BHP stripped rear and im running 13.7 up the quarter. My car will/HAS DONE hold a 180-185WHP TDO4 starlet all the way.
Thats not chatting poo poo as there are many on this forum that come out with us that know my car and what it does. So i can assure you, just trust me on this one the guy was either talking out of his bum hole or he couldnt drive for shit.
Im not starting so please everyone back off before you start laying into me, im telling you FACTS not fiction, nor opinions. I dont really care, im just making you aware, the race you had didnt add up at all.
Stock starlets get left so far behind its a waste of fuel. And thats not taking the piss. I wish more people were honest. this is how certain cars get a bad rep.
