Starlet turbo or VTS conversion
right guys i am considering selling the saxo, as i want somthing with a bit of go, have been considering VTS mine but it would cost so much doing a 1.1 as it needs larger brakes and that 4 stud conversion i am working full time with my uncle and on a good wage and i am putting on a new car, would you VTS my car or get a starlet or a R5 gtt..
and out of the starlet and 5 which would be more reliable

get the starlet, mate they go like hell! are still reliable dont listen to the negative idiots on here that dont have a clue, if its tuned properly there no less reliable.
Dont get me wrong it isnt cheap but modding any car isnt, but for the money you get way bigger gains than spending money on a vts.
Get a glanza mate there awesome.

Your post contradicts somewhat.
Your saying if modified correctly it will still be reliable, and you'll get bigger gains than spending money on a VTS.
The VTS engine is larger capacity, so therefore if done correctly you will get bigger gains turbo'ing the saxo.
I presume he already has a saxo, so he wouldn't need to spend more money buying a starlet, then even more to modify it.
