5 gtt 125 bhp v's mr2 turbo 220bhp- yea right tried ina 5turbs with stage 5 turbo and other power mods no chance
19 16v 137 bhp v's pulsar vzr- if the gtir you are on about then no chance
19 16v v's mivec lancer 175 bhp
19 16v v's glanza turbo 130 bhp- starlet eats integra dc3's so a 19 has no chance

My hatch used to get utterly roasted by my mate Simon's Rover 220GSi turbo when we tried, other than that I've not raced anyone Confused

the 5 smoked the mr2 around the bends he was nowhere to be seen but on the straights ill admit he was defo catching me
the pulsar is not gtir but front wheel drive 175 bhp like an almera hatch but an import and he was overtaken at 100mph and left sittin at 120+

and a starlet turbo would never eat an integra dc3 i'm assuming thats type r both 16v's slaughter starlet turbos so much i wasnt even gonna put it in

thats my mates sisters starlet and it eats most things including the phase 2 chammy u can see in the back ground aswell as a phase 1 chammy and my phase 2 hatch which isint standard

o and a 200 sx s13 1.8 turbo 200+ brake so i still dont belivewat ya chatting on about

whats a 200 sx got to do with anything anyway i wasnt on about a old starlet this is my mates 97 starlet you know the new shape its standard apart from ik and exhaust the reason im sayin it wouldn eat an integra is cause his brother owns one ant trust me its not as fast :

3 cars motorway me 16v ,97 glanza,p8 integra type r
at 120mph

1.integra r
2.r19 16v
3.glanza
also this order from 50mph too glanza is a little quicker in 1st =2nd
btw im not talking about pure power im askin has anyone ever made a fool outta something more powerful whether its thru good drivin or knowing your roads better etc im not saying 16v's are supercars just sayin when these boys tried dicing my cars they got a very big shock

If I wanted a fast car I'd have got something other than an 19 16v.

The fact that it was a cheap car with good looks and reasonable performance is why I got my 2 19 16v's. If I wanted something fast I'd have got something with 2L's and a turbo.

civic rare lol do you call a ph2 16v rare you would wanna see all the sir civics over here in ireland expensive but lots all the same fuk all 16v's id be lucky to find another 16v except for my 2 and my mates 1 his ph1 kept with an sir or so he says it was dyno'd at 169bhp

@neal: fair enough i suppose,everone to there own and all that, i just like the what the fuk looks i get when they see its a renault 19 keeping up with them

Yeah, I like my 19's performance, but my point was that don't care how fast it is compared to someone else's car.

well look at it this way is there a better car for the money? the only reason i wouldnt get a civic,gtir,impreza,200sx etc is because everone over here anyway has one where i live i have the only 19 16v for miles and i rarely see another one oh i have actually it was the one i own now about 2 years before i bought it so thats why my next car might have to be a 172/182 maybe none of those around either

Why do you keep picking on SEAT's? Thats twice now...

The Cupra were either 158 or 180ish bhp, and their not bad handling cars either, so giving them an 'old skool kicking' might not be that easy.
