Does Linford Christy sprint to the shops?;)

Lol lovin that comment! 1.2 is LOTS believe me, your fighting with the car to keep it on track at this level when it hits boost. Altho having said that, i would like to see it running more boost, just to feel what its like, but 1.2 is loads for now. This car is a credit to rick the previous owner, the attention to detail is just unbelievable. There was tears in his eyes when we were driving away, the work and hours he put into this car was worth the price alone.

hey wes. glad to know youre looknig after her.

the reason it has shocks and springs is because coilovers are not the know-all and end-all of handling. ive been through MANY suspension setups on this car, ive had teins, and ive had D2s. ive tried different strut bar setups aswell. they way it is now, i think, is the best it can be for a road car.

the only valid difference between coilovers and shocks/springs are the height adjustability. you can get rebound/bump rates in whatever you like on shocks aswell. same for springs. can still have stiff springs on shocks you know ;) saying that it wont handle well without coilovers is just showing a lack of knowledge. this car handles very very well. and on bumpy roads, out handles a coilover'd starlet any day of the week.

and for those of you that are arguing with the power output at 1.2bar.

proper power curve, none of this peaking at 300, then dropping to 200 lark alot of starlets are putting out.

:D

and those of you saying 1.2bar isnt alot for a td06, are speaking out of your arse ^^

none of you have ever experienced it, so how can you comment on it?

keep hush ye ^;

i'm not sure on ricks reasons for not getting the max out of this setup, but i am sure they are very valid.

the reason i got rid was to pay for my S15 mate, couldnt have 2 cars and the glanza had to go.

I'm sure the car is a monster.

Let the new member enjoy it and if he wants to up the boost and change the suspension it is easily done.

thanks rick:) the car will be staying as is, rick built a perfect glanza (in my opinion) and i intend on keeping it that way, as i've already said 1.2 bar is more than enough!! and thanks gee!
