I have went JAP

[AliC]

I have finally went and bought a starlet EP82 after much brainstorming i had to go for it. I havent sold the saxo as of yet so am still offically a saxo driver. Anyonne eles thing about changing to JAP?

[Gabbastard]

I think Im turning japanese, I think Im turning japanese I really think so.

Am i showing my age.

[AliC]

lol, h8 that tune!

[frankie]

i thought about starlets


fancy a mk3 astra gsi turbo more

[AliC]

The astra turbo's are nice but i suppose its what they drive like?

[adam111]

I've gone Jap, it didn't go down to well on here, lol.

[frankie]

The astra turbo's are nice but i suppose its what they drive like?

im sure ill manage to get it round the bends :cool:

are starlets 4wd?

there cheap to insure 1000 for the gsi, 1700 for a vtr

[AliC]

god, thats alot cheaper, no the starlets are fwd which makes it more fun depend on what kind of BHP your putting out, but they are so easily modified with big gains!

[leeK9]

i doubt its 300 bhp

and they are the worst handling japanes car you can buy.even if you put the best coilees money can buy there still terrible.you wanna get a ek9 or vts.they handle way better and are just cooler

[Japman]

you can get them in 4 wheel drive

but very expensive :)

[s3an]

I think Im turning japanese, I think Im turning japanese I really think so.

Am i showing my age.

i only know that song from the newest guitar hero lol

[Modified]

get some pics up m8y and lets see it :)

[Raz]

ive seen some of the pics you posted on Japmans progress thread....looks quite nice......

[Japman]

has it got low comp pistions

That would be megga bhp if it has,and has a big turbo

[Mrk1]

I thinking of going Jap just for the fact that they're nearly indestructable, still making decisions on a civic glanza or G6R tbh. Only thing is most insurance companies want to rape me as soon as i mention one of the above.

[Japman]

starlets are cheap to insure,not sure about the rest

[Mrk1]

dont they range from insurance group 8 to some ridiculous like 16 though?

[Japman]

8-14 depending on company
my is under 14

when i was 18 i payed 1200 a year

[Mrk1]

Thats not bad i payed nearly that much for my saxo! :panic:

[Raz]

Thats not bad i payed nearly that much for my saxo! :panic:
and the reason for that is because saxo's have a name....boy/girl racer....

[Japman]

Thats not bad i payed nearly that much for my saxo! :panic:

i was paying 1700 for the paxo when i was 17

[Chris]

I went from German, to French, to Jap twice, to German and I'll be going back to French soon.

Chris :)

[Japman]

why french chris

[Mrk1]

and the reason for that is because saxo's have a name....boy/girl racer....

They also have another name unbelievably unreliable easy to steal french tin automobiles

[Chris]

why french chris

Megane Coupe/Convertible... cause they are nice!!!!

Both the Jap cars I have owned were great... the FTO especially, cause it was 12 years old when I had it, but it was sooo advanced for it's age, plus the styling of it will never look old IMO.

Chris :)

[Japman]

true true

I fancy a nice BMW 3 serious Coupe

Tempted i am

[GrantW]

With who? Impressive spec by the way is that how you bought it? No wonder it pushes enough brake on boost!

[Japman]

It is the monster everyone is on about

hahah

[AliC]

No no, i wish, thats what this years insurance is costing me on the starlet, its only £430 difference from the saxo!

[Karl]

It is the monster everyone is on about

[AliC]

[Karl]

JESUS! lol el rapid!

Is it seriously 300+bhp?

[AliC]

your car ran a 12 on the 1/4 mile

Sorry, didnt see the quote lol

[Japman]

or do you want 550's

[Raz]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHl5ms9pZAA

is the driver in the Starlet turbo a crap driver? i thought they piss all over vts/gti?

[Japman]

standard a starlet is qiucker to 60,after that would be about the same

[Raz]

standard a starlet is qiucker to 60,after that would be about the same
it doesnt look it there....

[Japman]

all dpends on drive etc

book figues

vts 7.5

starlet 6.9

all down to driver,tyres weather etc

[Raz]

if it sounds like im slagging off starlets etc...your wrong....i think they are amazing cars....just clicked a random video on youtube and that cam up lol

[Japman]

na course not mate,it doesnt bother me

im jus going on what i read etc

[-Jason-]

I went jap to :)

Do miss my old car but do love the vtec hehe

[AliC]

no your not slagging m8, i dont no whats u with that?? Japman its running 440cc low impedance injectors but im happy with them! i dont want to change the car like, putting an anti-lag on her o and btw,its still got AC lol

[AliC]

I went jap to :)

Nice one m8,your car is mint, love those del sol's!! What they like to drive?

[Karl]

it says in the comments that that 106 had cams etc.
so its not standard, might explain why it ruins that Glanza (which are slower to 60 than a Starlet anyways)

[AliC]

could be unless the turbo has shit itself or running a really low boost!

[-Jason-]

They run nice rev to 9.5 k hehe,

Will be good when i get a new mani and decat lol.

Not alot you can to to reduce weight aside from carbon bits lol

Carbon bonnet and roof me thinks

[Karl]

could get some lush Jap wheels for her too Jason?

[-Jason-]

Waiting for people to do me a chop of new wheels.

Think i still like the multispoke or maybe deepish dish ones not sure need advice.

Please feel free to post in my progress one with ideas lol

[Karl]

if you put lenso rs5s on it, your gay.

[-Jason-]

Havent seen them?

[Scattle]

no your not slagging m8, i dont no whats u with that?? Japman its running 440cc low impedance injectors but im happy with them! i dont want to change the car like, putting an anti-lag on her o and btw,its still got AC lol

You sure on Anti Lag?... Few supras its been put onto does reduce the life of the Turbo.

[Japman]

no your not slagging m8, i dont no whats u with that?? Japman its running 440cc low impedance injectors but im happy with them! i dont want to change the car like, putting an anti-lag on her o and btw,its still got AC lol

AC fook in ell

get that off straight way

the ac rad is a cunt when you work in her

get it off

and the pump
less 30kg

[Karl]

Weight Mc Saving.

[Japman]

at the end of the day 30kg is alot

worth getting rid off

not as if we have the weather lol

[Karl]

in that car yes. I agree.

[AliC]

You sure on Anti Lag?... Few supras its been put onto does reduce the life of the Turbo.
Sorry, came out the wrong way, i meant that i didn't want to put anti-lag on the car!

AC fook in ell

get that off straight way

the ac rad is a cunt when you work in her

get it off

and the pump
less 30kg

I didn't think the AC weighed that much, 30KG is enough and like you said especially in a car that weighs that little.

[Japman]

yea on the forum they said its 30kg all together

[AliC]

Think i might take it out, but really its not going to make much of a difference!

[Hanuman]

hardly make any diff, just the equivelant of not having a 5year old kid in the car ?

[Karl]

hey man, i would kick a five yr old kid out my car...
get out kid! your slowing me down!

[Japman]

TAKE IT OUT

haha may aswell

unwanted weight

[Hanuman]

if only the car could say that to most its owners

"yo biatch iv had you stripping away my manhood for years, how about you lose some fkn weight fat ass then you wouldnt have to strip my parts, or why not sell me to a fit young hunny who doesnt weigh 20stone stink of shat and actually knows when to change gear get yo motha fkn aSS out of my seat boy"

[Japman]

hahahahhaha

[AliC]

[Jazz]

I have finally went and bought a starlet EP82 after much brainstorming i had to go for it. I havent sold the saxo as of yet so am still offically a saxo driver. Anyonne eles thing about changing to JAP?

Hmm... I'm seriously thinking Jap at the moment too mate, most likely this coming summer when insurance goes down, right now I'm seriosly thinking something with a VTEC and a Red H slapped on it's arse...

[-Jason-]

Yes jap parts are more expensive but the build quality is better and the rind is better imo

Love my new car to bits my new friend is about 6-9.5k rpm i call him mr vtec he shouts alot and makes the world distorted lol

[Matty-VTR]

8-14 depending on company
my is under 14

when i was 18 i payed 1200 a year

Who quoted you that? Cheapest quote i got was 2.5k and i get get insured on a vts for 1500 :n:

Details please because as soon as i get a decent quote the saxo is going and im getting a glanza :y:

[Jazz]

Fcuking love Vtec's mate, not much at low revs (but if you want that get a diesel!) but give them some revs and wahay... so much fun to play with. CRX looks nice lad:y:

admiral mate

[Jazz]

admiral mate

The admiral group are quality tbh, they're the only company i've found for competative quotes for under 21's on high power cars, (type-r's, Turbos, V6 engines etc etc).

[Matty-VTR]

admiral mate

There the people that quoted me 2.5k :n:

[-Jason-]

Bell direct?

Im with elephant and im paying 550 fully comp:)

[Matty-VTR]

im 18 though mate..insured on a VTR at the moment for 1k, didnt think a starlet turbo would be 1.5k more :( Really want one though

[Jazz]

Does seem like quite a jump. Mayb if you send Japman an PM, he might be able to assist. He is also quite young and has a decent quote on his starlet.

[Matty-VTR]

Have done, cheers

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

Im thinking of going Jap aswell on a startlet/glanza turbo......ive been quote £1,000 TFPT 19yrs old, 0ncb 3 points, wid bro on aswell though

[AliC]

thats not too bad considering 3 points!

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

thats not too bad considering 3 points!

Yeh its more expensive for a VTS for me ive got quoted £1,300

Bell insurance FTW!

[AliC]

yea same here m8, most companies wornt even given me a quote for a VTS!

[-Jason-]

Because the vts is 1.6 16v and the glanza is only 1.3 the turbo is irelivant :)

[Japman]

Yeh its more expensive for a VTS for me ive got quoted £1,300

Bell insurance FTW!

Best sell up and get a Turbo then :p

[-Jason-]

Stop trying to take people to the dark side :)

They should come to the RED side hehe

BTW just though i would mention that i work for toyota so i get parts cheap if your nice to me :)

[Japman]

vtec- id rather walk haha :P

[-Jason-]

Dont get started on that, There seems to be a colony of spastics in my area

Ones who have nice cars park at the bus stop since its not used after 9pm

And the mentally tarded go park at the slaughter house and pull sick wheel spins and pop their boots to see one shitty fusion sub running off a sony xplod amp?

[Japman]

[Jackman]

[Jackman]

Looks a beast fair play.

[Japman]

spaming my thread and hijerking tbh
needs to be bad does that lad

[bbewekim]

German till im 21 hopefully (well spanish/ german) then hopefully a turn to jap, that oor new shape audi a3 derv (Y).

Next car has to be 4wd. Was going to go the starlet route now, but i am loving my little derv engine at the moment and remaps are cheap enough to put a big grin on your face :D. Injectors are good for 220bhp too i think :D soo turbo upgrade could keep me entertained until then :D.

[-Jason-]

No diesel is evil more so than gav :)

[AliC]

Stop trying to take people to the dark side :)

They should come to the RED side hehe

BTW just though i would mention that i work for toyota so i get parts cheap if your nice to me :)

Good stuff, can you order i after market parts for cheaper or just standard parts?

[-Jason-]

Just standard im afraid

[AliC]

here's a quick question for you's, what oil should a use in the car as it is getting very low, i think it was castrol original in it?

[AliC]

Thats no problem, worth a try lol!
