Message: <blockquote data-quote="DeOngster" data-source="post: 1444434" data-attributes="member: 19412">my turn.. i drive a toyota starlet 1.3 turbo.. small girl but she bites.. weighing less than a ton and with a 4efte slightly tuned i would presume i have bout 170bhp boosting at 0.9 bar [the 4efte is capable of being built to more than 3xxbhp].. well i have added a set of trds adjustables to her so she is a bit firm on the ride but really nice going round SIC...I named her Phoebe.. shes really nice.. she can do 0-100 in the mid 6 seconds i guess... she handles great but of course never as good as many recent newer cars... shes 21 this year btw... in SIC she has taken Satrias with evo engines and also capable of keeping up with a scooby or evo... 2 : 58 : ++ so far is the fastest timed session i have done with her..in autox sessions she runs smooth through the faster corners... slight understeer if you push it a little harder... being smooth on the throttle is the key and idea... shes light so boosting at 0.9 all the time just gives me too much wheel spins and torque steers... always be smooth on the throttle... round the sharper corners [eg round abouts, 180's] she has a character of lifting one of the rear wheels off the ground... its her character [even round corner 1 in SIC] which can help her turn... everytime she lifts off and you keep throttleing she can go round the bend with that wheel off the ground... if you lift off the throttle with that wheel off the ground it will put her in a slight oversteer motion sending the tail round the bend gradually, throttle up again and wah lah... round the bend you have gone [the speed has to be reasonably fast for it to happen in SIC]... you also can have fun with her by going sideways... around 7 & 8 in SIC... come out of 6th in full blast 3rd gear... shift to 4th... 50m or less before 7... shift into third [without braking yea] do a scandinavian flick into 7... she will snap out really nice into the apex... start throttleing to keep her in that motion till u hit the apex and out... continue and do the same thing around 8... wah lah FF sideways... lolShe is totally enjoyable... capable of going 2xxkm on 5th gear... sufficient high speed... sufficient acceleration... and totally awesome track days and autox's... what more can i ask for... cheap roadtax... maintenance not high... reasonable petrol consumption [RM60+ can go to Johor Bahru ronda around Danga Bay... she can go bout 430km lo... and average of 380+km a tank] cheaper than my gf MyVi and friends Waja... anyways since we talking bout her i might as well show you guys who phoebe is... cheers enjoy and thats my review for my love..http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2177113</blockquote>
