Epic little cars. A mate of mine (who is on here) still misses his, preferred it to his Trophy.

These can be made to look great but you die instantly if your hit by/hit anything 
lol thanks for sum of the replies i guess lol.
Mines far from standard. its running 229bhp and almost equal torques.
Beats almost everything from standing start.
Im very pleased with it tbh, considering 130bhp standard and ive spent just over £1k and its got 100bhp more.
I also like the styling of my car (not to blow my own trumpet)
It got coilovers to which make the handling ALOT better, its like its on rails.
Very close to the Clio sport handling (will keep up in the twisties)
Thats about it really. Any more questions?:rasp:

i was very close to owning one a while back, i put my 172 up for sale and that was what i was getting, until i went and drove one, the interiors are terrible, and even though i would of stripped most of it, what would of been left would have still offended me
i do like the exterior looks and think they are great little cars, but another thing that bothered me a little was that i would of had to spend the money to get the handling of the car i already had.....
i ended up keeping the 172 and changing it...a little...lol
2 very good friends have starlets, not slow ones at all, one is a full custom build, rear mounted rad, front arch side exit by wheel...can't remember what its running now, but its silly

i love these, my mate had a fairly standard GT and it was a hoot to drive!
i raced a silver glanza in stirling a few months ago and it was Very quick, he was struggling to put power down big time because it was damp, i had to work the 172 hard to keep up with it untill tripple figures when i started catching it easier as you say not much money gets you big power!

Hi
And yeah, I do miss that car badly.. but you get to the point where theres just too much power going through the front wheels eh gaz

Im sure it was only 175bhp you posted on another forum and your still on the ct9 so its pretty impossible to see over 200 atf :nono:
Also, lol @ very close to clio sport handling.
Don't kid yourself.
ValverInBits
anyone looking to buy one of these drop me a PM.
A mate is selling a really nice one with all the import docs, tein coilovers, bigger rear ARB, f**k-OFF front mount intercooler (nearly 6in deep), really nice custom zorst and equal length mani, and recent rebuild.
edit: oh and....christ on a bike these things grip.

Lol that was a few months ago matey, ive got a GT Spec hybrid now, and new manifold, exhaust and downpipe.
I got it set up at a different rolling road to last time as well.
Monstermotor sports do the dyno runs in 3rd gear rather than 4th gear(like most RR places) and when in 4th gear ont he run you see better bhp figures.
But like i said, my car has changed in the last few months since that RR.
And yes, a friend had a 172 on coilovers/springs (dont remember) and mine handled equally as good as his car.

Nice white one of these near me. On superlegs
Fair enough about the power, bit optimistic bout the tong hybrid though unless your running it at 1.2 bar~
Dont agree on the handling though, saying that Im comparing the glanza which was on coilies and all ARB's to my trophy and the difference is miles apart.

I had 230bhp from a CT9/12 Hybrid.
I really cant see why people think the handling is bad but then i've never driven a standard one. Being stripped with ARB's, Anti lift Kit, front and rear strut braces and 1k Tein Coilovers mine handled immense. I was pushing a mini works gp along understeering before the glanza. Hardly bad imo. I've owned some awesome handling cars too. Clio's, ATR etc
exactly, ive driven clio sports with coilovers and ive driven my car with coilovers, ARB's and spec2's and it handles immense. Standard they are shocking lol.
I think i mite strip mine HEHE. lol
You rekon its worth just taking out the back seats n everything else in the back?

Well with 230 i was pushing a Evo 6 along quite easily. I dont like taking them past 120 though i must say.
Yep i'd say so. Thats what mine was like anyway..
98 spec front and rear bumpers
Tein coilovers with 24 way adjustable damping - They cost £1020!
Cusco front and rear strut braces
uprated front brakes and pads 3g and mintex new rear discs and pads
Panard rod at the rear
Uprated anti roll bars
Anti lift kit
Hks ssqv
Uprated fuel pump - Walbro 255 ltr
Sard rising rate fuel pressure regulator set at 2 bar of pressure
330cc Denso injectors
Hks filter (mushroom)
Uprated SS manifold
Decat
Apexi megafone exhaust cat back
ct9-ct12 uprated hybrid turbo set at 1.2 bar of boost with ported and flowed wastegate
uprated ignition leads
trd short shift
Uprated plugs grade 8 heat
HKS Front mounted intercooler
Lightend flywheel
Lightend pulleys
Yaris sr 15" wheels
Bucket seats and harnesses and stripped
Thats an old spec i could find of mine before i bought it. I did buy more though but cant find the spec when she was sold..
Mine was also on fully adjustable coilies, adjustable rear arb, alk, polybushed.. bla bla
But it still didnt handle greatly, I tried varying levels of alignment and adding more negative camber to the front helped but it was still an understeering b**ch at times.
As i said before I am comparing this to my trophy.. which, the suspension setup is pretty much perfect for a fwd car so maybe I am not giving a fair comparison.
This was mine as it was sold a couple of months ago;
Strip everything out.
