i'm only pulling your leg Gilly, nice to see you're being sensible over a high powered car at a young age :)

yeh i know what you mean, i started moding my GT, but when i drove it back from the mot garage for real. the power was unreal, even on a CT9. going any higher is just suicide.
but now iv experienced being on the road i know what can happen, and sometimes that little bit of inexperience can cause a big crash.

Its funny you say all this Gilly when you had a GT as a first car which you would have kept if you could afford to. Just because you couldn't afford it you seem to have gone against having a powerful car at a young age. I mean come on, if you had the money that GT would have been your first car then I wouldn't see you talking like this ;)

yeh i know, if i could have afforded it i would have have driven it, no doubt about it. but im not gona lie, i would have given it some stick everywhere!! and i would have thought i was cool! but at the end of the day i had near misses in the mini, not down to being silly or being a crap driver, but to being inexperienced!!! just people don't realise until the looking at there car with its front caved in.

i think everyone has taken gazes words very literal. Some people need to lighten up. Some friendly banter for god sake. There are loads of awesome starbos out there, we all know that, some with preferred set ups to others. And gaz also knows that, trust me. Its all friendly.........

Who ever says 330hp isnt usable obviously hasnt got the experience in a well set up starlet running that sort of power. If you dont like it because its too wild for yaz, then furry muff, will not dispute that but to say you cant use it thats just ignorant in my opinion.

A TRUE starlet is a FWD 4E if you want to be very specific. nothing else.
My view its a starlet with an engine code. Like an audi isnt a lambo is it because its useing a lambo engine Weather its from factory or not, We are all entitled to make our own cars like the manufacturers, i.e ive made up a 3sgte starlet like zonda used a MERC engine, like seat/audi/VW all use the 1.8T, exactly the same engine. Like both celica GT4 and MR2 use the 3sgte, and sooooo many more cars out there that use the same engine but we dont go around calling them by their engine code do we.....

A car is its chassis, an engine is just what makes it go. its just power.

A power board would be cool.

1.3 class
1.5 hybrid class
Engine conversion class

etc....

I would be the only fecker with an engine conversion though??

a 1.5 hybrid is an engine conversion. In some cases only half but you know what i mean....

No1 would have if he didnt post it up the way he did. Think what folk mean is wheel spinning 1st, 2nd and 3rd isent really usable power, you have possibly 2 gears to use were you dont spin... I believe thats what there understanding is.

Beats my car now grips through all of 3rd,4th and 5th gear...

2nd gear on a nice dry day i blow scoobies with ease and they are 4WD... Thats while spinning but propelling. Thats just to make a point, most people dont understand how a VERY high powered FWD car is like to drive and how it reacts.. You can use the power very wisely and make use of it it properly...... While most will say nah you just spin you dont go anywhere blah blah blah, its FAR from the case and bugs me sometimes as they are just assumptions with no proper experience....

Anyway thats a different topic all together. Maybe gaz did come across in such a way to encourage anger towards him but i can assure you he didnt mean it like that. Over a screen words can come across very wrong. I know gaz personally and he is nothing like that/arogant or what ever you, or anyone thinks....

Your wasting your time Dan. I just ignore comments from people that have never driven a high powered Starlet now. People will always say the chassis cant handle more than 220hp and thats the optimum amount etc etc. I don't waste my breath anymore. Some people think they know everything.

Maybe if we were running 300hp with every part of the suspension stock, they might have a point...but we are not.

I try not to comment on things I dont have experience with now, always getting shot down by certain people. Maybe others should try this approach too. Will keep information consistant.
