Good car, nice looking and handles well. How fast does it feel compared to a starlet running around 200 bhp? Also how it's like on Fuel?
It actually feels pretty quick, the K series has a nice bit of torque standard (145ft lbs) for an N/A.
In terms of actual speed a 200bhp EP would be quicker ( i wouldn't imagine a massive amount,enough to win a drag though) in a straight line providing it could get the power down.
Top end the the DC5 is the quicker car I think.
But on the bends there's no contest,the DC5 is
extremly good through the corners in standard form.
I had a 220bhp GT on coilover's and a rear strut,uprated disk's (no diff) and while still very good in the bends over stock it simply wouldn't be able to carry the same speeds through bends.
As for MPG, I'm just tipping around in 5th and 6th 95% of the time and getting between 35-40mpg. Averaging 37ish. Its not 100% accurate,I didn't measure litres etc just went from petrol light to petrol light.
