    Valver vs Starlet Glanza

    I went for a cruise last night round Barnsley and I decided I wasn't gona race anybody, so my car was full fat (Full interior and install). There was also my mate in the car with me.

    Anyway I drove down harbour hills and there was a couple of cars in the middle lane at the traffic lights so naturally I went in the outside lane. Anyway noticed that the cars there were a done up Impreza and this Starlet. I've heard that the Starlet wanted a race with me before and he gave me some dumpvalve so I guessed it was on.

    Went to the next set of lights and sat there but he went behind me instead of in the left lane which was weird. Anyway I booted it off the lights, and through 1st and 2nd he kept up, then 3rd I pulled away dead easy. The road curves to the left and I kept my foot in it but he seemed to slow down loads, not sure why though. He then proceeded to me as I was following another car doing the speed limit revving his engine lol.

    See ya

    Will be a different story if you race my Glanza mate.

    Sounds dodgy, he kept slowing down and went behind you? Maybe he wasnt really up to it.

    Sitting at some traffic lights revving his engine so I could hear the dumpvalve usually means they want to go for it. The WRX came up the side of me, he launched quite hard aswell but I hammered em both lol dont think the WRX was tryin, tho my car did feel quite quick that nite.


    See ya

    Tom, from the spec its very unlikely he had 180bhp, plus just bolting things on doesnt always make things faster, if not tuned properly it can make things worse!

    No one can deny my speeds on the straight, goes good for a 1.3

    Tke the piss all u like lads, but once I get a few more tweaks done, you better watch out on the next trackday.

    clowo16v, if you have any doubts, come race me, I dont mind.
