The 9 will feel very gutless after turbo power. std for std the starlet will be faster i think.
Not true dude, far from it..
Really ? i though standard the 9 would have been that little bit quicker my starlet only has an apexi filter and spec II so i doubt there would be too much difference and ye i do enjoy the noise of hondas and the clean look alot of people go for ...just though maby its time for something new you know ? but thanks for the comment mate
firstly sorry for the essay
TBH mate i don't know why lee said that...
EK9 vs Glanza V = no competition..
a few years back i owned an Ek4 Vti.. std car.. and at the same time my frined owned a glanza V..
both cars were standard, we used to race all the time ( private road
) literally for about 2 - 3 years
... the VTI would pull on the glanza after about 80Mph but was always about a car length ahead of the glanza from take off.. We then did the boost over ride for 1st and 2nd gear in the glanza and then raced again ( many times over all seasons of the year ) the Vti EK4 and the Glanza were pretty much exactly the same up to 80Mph literally about a foot in it. then the civic would pull away quite drastically..
both car's were in top condition the vti had 55,000 miles on it and the glnaza had 40,000 miles on it..
bare in mind the Ek4 Vti has a 0 - 60 time of 7.5 - 7.7 ish seconds as standard so the glanza is not far off this with the boost mod in 1st and 2nd gear..
I then bought an EK9 and raced this same glanza... Completely different.. the 0 - 60 time of the EK9 standard is 5.9 - 6.1 seconds..
by 60 Mph i was 5 car lengths ahead maybe more... by the time i am up in the 100's he is literally 50 - 60 Metres behind.. a small dot in the mirror lol...
Seriously dude you cannot compare a glanza V to an EK9.. td04 on the glanza running 160hp + maybe it'll be fairer but then you'd have to add a very trick suspension setup with an LSD to get anywhere near the hanlding of an EK9... and remember after all of this the EK9 i own is completely stock ( apart from an air filter
)
take a test drive of an EK9 and you will remember my statement.. No competition lol.. hope this helps dude.
bang for your buck the glanza is great... a nice exhuast and a td04 and you are laughing... trying to extract 30 + hp from an EK9 is expensive to do properly..
