Idiot in a Starlet GT Turbo

[Dave Hedgehog]

15 year old idiot kid and his boyfriend in a starlet GT Turbo try to goad me into racing tonight, mandatory dropped to the deck, massive back box, dash mounted boost counter and oversized waste gate / dump valve chirping away

i declined to play as i don't fancy being awarded an extra 11 points for an MS50



never seen one before, i assume its an import

just like this lol

Were you in a racy car? What sort of road was it? Is it their age you take umbridge too?

They probably just wanted a bit of fun, to be honest.

Is it a common mod on Japanese imports to add a rev counter?

duel carriageway in rush hour, sitting behind me in the nearside lane and gunning it past me, slowing down behind me. normal sort of cat n mouse stuff

Good taste in cars though, not many of them left.

Ah, that explains things! You could have picked pistols but on this occasion is was duelling by car instead.

When you said rush hour, I immediatly lost all sympathy for the chap. Nothing wrong with a bit of a communial hoon, but only if the roads are completely clear. What where you driving?

He was goading you to race on a "duel" carriageway? How appropriate!

Probably because the people that buy them drive them/mod them terribly like this one.

Indeed 'tis a shame. I really like them.

Edit: Although the one in Dave's video looked ok apart from the quad headlight conversion.

So it was lowered, had a dump valve, a large exhaust and a "rev counter" - while I'm not sure what that last one means, presumably they all have a rev counter as standard, the first 3 are pretty much standard fare for modified cars. How do the first 3 constitute "terrible" modding?

the large dash mounted one for boost, used the wrong word /facepalm

Ah, a boost gauge, very handy thing to have in a tuned up turbo car, and an excellent tool to help diagnose boost leaks.

They can be bloody quick I had a play with one when I had my twin turbo supra. The starlet shot off until we hit higher speeds

i would imagine it weights about 1000kgs so 200bhp / tonne ?

[crazy about cars]

Nice decision not to race him as your car is too slow anyway.
