Jap and doubt i'll be back :(. I do love the Nova's bt since getting my new car and driving that, it's a hell of a lot nicer to drive and more fun. I've only got the 1 pic of it atm as the weather's s****e! It was my bro's and he came home after finding out someone was selling their RX-7 and asked if i wanted it, me being me bit his arm off :D. Will be doing a WIP when i've got more pic's etc.

But your only 17 ;) without a year's driving experience (or 1 claim)
there a nice car but have there draw backs, they dont handle for ****....
very common over here in ireland, thats not a mr 1 starlet turbo, they came in a pre 1990 turbo in the boxy shape.....
be carefull when upping the boost, they dont take it well unless you put in the prope bits, 180bhp is very easy to get, very reliable if you dont go mad, sort the handling out with coilovers and your laughin
heres my old 1....

Did it get written off?? Cos i would have thought due to the fact you couldnt see out of the front screen... I mean christ what is all that about.
LOL that sunstrip is the funniest thing I've seen today lol
Tunable to ~350bhp as well :D
Looks a nice car Coochi. What power are they standard?
LOL that sunstrip is the funniest thing I've seen today lol

is 200hp of that due to the sunstrip ?
Looks Good coochi, there getting quite common now... personally i think they're a bit odd but they've definetly got the performance factor
coochiSR
09-12-07, 11:08 AM
Thanking youuuuu. Ad - There 133bhp standard, i've got a decat, full 2" bore system, air filter and GReedy boost controller. My bro seemed to think when he was running his boost of 8PSI (i think) it was about 142-145bhp. It is also completey stripped, 2 seats and dash :cool:
S14A - This has got stupid amount of strengthening bar's, both ARB's, Rear Panard rod and it's sitting on Toyo's. I think it handle's better than any Nova i've been in/driven.
BTW it is a REAL CF bonnet ;)

If it wasnt for that daft splitter that would be so retro cool.
Saloony
09-12-07, 11:09 PM
But anyway they arent proper starlets...Proper starlets are early 80's rear drive and had the 2.0pinto treatment.
mate has a rwd starlet with a 2.0 vauxhall engine,some bus...
Saloony
09-12-07, 11:18 PM
Or vaux lump. The pinto i think is a more common mod.

General Baxter

Not bad mate, i remember looking at one in a mag years ago and thinking humm nice!
One thing though make it faster buy getting rid of the sound deadening off the front floor area, use heat gun i guess same as novas?
And whats with the gay blue brace thing? surely that cant do much??
Scott
coochiSR
10-12-07, 01:14 PM
Would that be Dave and Darren, chris? And cheers Scott, the door braces? I dunno they look cool thou! Lol
ANDYRACER
10-12-07, 01:31 PM

coochiSR
15-12-07, 06:26 PM
