Yeah H&R DR system Hubcentric

Be careful out there people: A stuffed Golf near Wiggers cross is a grim reminder of a driver getting caught out on a slightly wet surface, due to reasons unknown.

Strangely, plates are removed from it....

Well I'm a few weeks into 350z ownership and today was the first proper spin I've had in it.

Today I learned:

> at full throttle the air conditioning switches off to keep power delivery up.

It's a lot of fun all that torque

Would you consider getting a shell of a T-sport or even a 1.0 yaris and droping in a glanza V engine? :cool:

A 2zzge would suit a t-sport much bettet as it would be the right engine for the chassis, and a fair bit more powerful than a 4efte out of the box. I dunno, about the yaris, buying a vitz RS would be much easier and cheaper in the long run.. Plus it's 1.5 to start with

Hmm, it's interesting, can't the Vitz and Tsport be supercharged?? I think they can.

Having owned an RS vitz i think a 4efte would kill it. The vitz felt like toyota took the glanza but made it work, was more comfortable, handled better and had similar performance. I also dont think the 4e would bolt straight to the ncp or e12 chassis. Could be wrong on that though

Is there not an RS turbo vitz though?

Thing I always found of the 4e was it ran out of puff too early, more of a 1st and 2nd gear engine than most.

Also always feel that the handling of starlets/glanzas was a bit to erratic, the arse of them has a mind of its own imo

Toyotafanboi

There was a turbo edition but there was a very limited amount of them, they were retrofitted kits done by trd afaik, they werent 'production' i dont think. Theres 4 in ireland.

The glanzas restricted to low boost in first and second i think so your really only moving when you get to 3rd

The vitz has independent rear suspension whereas the glanza has a solid axle so theres a slight advantage there. The rule of thumb in the glanza is no sudden steering adjustment over 60km/h :pac: its very twitchy, wouldnt take much to lose it in the wet id say

Don't know if vitz can (I guess it can, just a matter of money), but some TS are supercharged (by TTE).

Autosport

I would like to thank the person who pulled out in front of me today as i got to test out the brakes on the car and i got from 95km to 50km in 3 seconds so i love my car even more than i ever did. And i hope you enjoyed listening to the car horn as that was me thanking you.

It does seem kinda steep, but they are getting rare. Lovely car though.
