toyotasupra1980 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 My supra is currently in the garage getting its TT Conversion, so i was kindly lent a 1995 TOYOTA Starlet 4WD 1.3 S, to be honest the car i am driving is a bag of shit to look at but to my shock is a very nippy little bastard. Just got home from work tonight to have some clown in the 2000 TOYOTA CELICA 1.8 VVTi 3dr Coupe have a go at me, not only do i find that the guy in the celica had a hard time catching me, but he could not even overtake me either [/sHOCK], i turn off he goes the other way, so i decided to go back after him and in about 30 secs i was right up his ass and he could not pull away[sHOCK] /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif , i am driving this peice of crap and can keep up with that car i hate to know what my supra will be like with 400bhp:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 he obviously wasnt trying as even a well set up single would struggle to keep up with a 1.8vvti celica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasupra1980 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 he obviously wasnt trying as even a well set up single would struggle to keep up with a 1.8vvti celica. My cousin has a modified version of this celica even when my supra was an n/a he could not catch me, besides i did not see the guy use any breaks to slow down mate, if your talking about a supra single turbo stuggle i doubt it that allot, and i know for a fact i destroyed one while my supra was an n/a not to mention the FTO i had before i got the supra could out run the celica, but anyway that this bag of shit starlet could run rings around him was kinda funny, and i know the plonker lives in the roath area so i cant wait to smash this guy to bits when i get my supra back.:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 They are slow until high revs 180bhp? Look nice in the gt kit, im sure he is laughing more when you compare fuel bills and insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look nice in the gt kit, im sure he is laughing more when you compare fuel bills and insurance. U think a starlet would use more fuel and be more expensive to insure than a celica?

Havard Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 he obviously wasnt trying as even a well set up single would struggle to keep up with a 1.8vvti celica. I take it that you are being really sarcastic Matt. Mrs H and I have had two of these (only the 140Bhp) and they are not quick but handle like sh!t to a blanket...... You really have to get beyond 4.5K revs to get ay kind of performance out of them. Very similar to an NA Supra in the way it accelerates!! H.

Scott Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Im making the point re "i will smash him when i get my supra back" Yeah but he was laughing about the starlet, not about the supra. Not really funny when a 400bhp car smashes a 180bhp car. Its extremely funny when a puddle jumper does though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really funny when a 400bhp car smashes a 180bhp car. Its extremely funny when a puddle jumper does though. thank you somebody actually read what i was on about, just to make it easier for the humanoids out there tho: 1) my supra is in garage getting TT Conversion +bpu. 2) garage lends me peice of crap starlet. 3) starlet shockingly quick. 4) I finish work and go home. 5) Celica try's to pass and keep up with starlet. 6) Celica cant do it. 7) I go after him, i am up his ass in under 30secs. 8) I know he lives in cardiff. 9) When my supra is finished, i will teach him a lesson or two. Thank you:d:d:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasupra1980 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 i can imagine what the guy in the celica was saying when i was up his as in this puddle jumper of a starlet, "what the fuck, i am going flat out". lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
