anyway i had a good drive home today in it from newcastle to glasgow, the comedy suspension and skinny 13' steelies gave me no confidence throwing it into corners properly but it does still feel planted but quite a bit of body roll. I tried launching it a few times with its puny 80 or so hp and my god! it just feels wierd having grip in a starlet dumped the clutch at 4k and it flew off the mark. BRING ON THE BOOST!

did you find it is actually quite slow with all the extra weight and drivetrain? compared to my girlfriends n/a ep91 my ep85 is a bit sluggish

no mate its actually pretty quick tbh especially in higher gears the short ratio box is awsome i found myself hitting the speed limiter a lot quicker than i imagined.
