Starlet Turbo
« on: July 31, 2007, 12:23:34 pm »
Was following one today, he kept trying to race away from me - so i let him. A) he was fairly nippy and B) My car is running like a bag of poo so i didnt want to embarrass Four-kind. I did notice him misfiring a lot in the middle of the rev-range. Anyway, just wanted to post a note of depression about my slow car.

well get it sorted then  :)

at least u would kill a starlet on handling. you gotta uprate the suspension for them to handle and the chassis is pants
i drove a mates a couple of years ago and couldnt believe how soft and crap is was.

I did enjoy just how much his exhaust wobbled - it was like it was tied up with string!
