Howdy,

I thought i may aswel add a few snaps i taken today.

Pics:































Thanks Craig

would i have seen the black one in and around oldham on sat afternoon ?

Very nice examples mate I'm thinking the black one is more my cup of tea

Sorry i wouldnt no mate i own the silver one

Yeah the black one is just awesome i agree the owner of it was going to sell it and was trying to for a few months but has no decided to keep it. For a 1.3 Turbo its very nippy.

Mines only a 1.3 n/a so i have no way keeping up to him haha

What kind of power are we talking about? BHP/Torque etc.

The Black one is expected to be running around 170-180Bhp

The Silver one is 93.8Bhp

Nice to see the pics up here craig mate, gonna get some new alloys shortly for it

Yeah you may have seen me out and about guys as im only from bury myself

That sounds like amazing figures for an engine of that size What's the power to weight ratio? i.e bhp per tonne.

I believe the weight is around 920kgs and power to weight for a 160Bhp starlet is around 176.

But thats not 100%

Sounds very fast 0-60?

Just looked at the link for TDI North too Craig. I know the area well so will contact them to see about using their rolling road. Want to find out how much of my 209bhp has been lost over the last 10 years

Haha not to sure on the 0-60 but its quick

Yeah i emailed them a while ago about a quote i think if its a group rolling road day i think it was £35 each.

i hope to be going santa pod sometime next year and finding out what it does on a quarter mile and 0-60 once ive got the hybrid turbo fitted and running over 200bhp per tonne

The rear of my car is stripped out so not sure how much it actually weights to be honest, standard is exactly what craig has said

I would deffinately be up for a rolling road meet once new tubby fitted as i think the seals on the one is going

you want to check out Tuning Developments GT mate, these things can be tuned to be seriously quick.

ben_j had a jam k24 gt, running around 220 / 225 and there was nothing that could out run it, for a 1.3 it was stupid.

There are guys on the TGTT running over 300bhp.

Recently tuning developments have worked on a gt running a VF series turbo which should be pussing out over 300bhp.

youtube them mate there are a few vids of trackdays n stuff out there.

But these cars are very underrated out there.

Oh great pics too Glanza n the SR are looking clean.

As dan has pointed out Tuning Developments starlet has fantastic results and the videos of him on trackdays just show the power the car does have.

A lot of the turbo starlets do seem to go tdo4 and do usually get good results i was at a rolling road meet a few weeks back and there was a tdo4 starlet there that made 216bhp and i am sure this wasnt on full boost.

Hey mine's not a SR
