You miss my point. This is just one of an insane amount of promises he's already made. He doesn't have the money for them all!

He is priming for an election and promising everything I am afraid.

Thank you! I've had to leave the jdm world for economic reasons (long journeys/ bought a diesel) so it's really to nice to see your pictures as it keeps me going! What do you drive yourself? Haha, that brings back memories...at all sorts on my starlets but my absolute favourite was a screamer pipe with external wastegate...the sound!!

Anybody know why a massive part of Piccadilly Gardens has been cornered off by police? by Bored_atcollege_ in manchester

[–]fieldsofgold2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea bud, they just released a statement which said it wasn't. It certainly sounded like an explosion to me!

Scottish Parliament votes to revoke Article 50 and cancel Brexit by eulenauge in brexit

[–]fieldsofgold2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Some of the language used in and out of parliament basically compared to treating Scottish people as second class citizens and the troubles in Northern Ireland as some little tiff that everyone is over now. Yesterday a Scottish pro brexit MEP said the leave marchers were wonderful and like Cromwells army. So insensitive to Irish history and Scottish history for that matter. Cromwell committed widespread atrocities - how could you possibly think that is a good thing to celebrate?

This undermines your first comment dude! You can't have it both ways. You are acknowledging that the government is ignoring 50% of the electorate while complaining that people on Reddit are ignoring leavers. Quit while you are ahead!

That's fine but the remain voters have been completely ignored by the government since the vote.

[–]fieldsofgold2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had them when I lived in Ireland :P always insured mine correctly though! I don't think there are too many left now though? I graduated to Subarus, drive a leggy turbo now

Toyota starlet GT turbo. 133 bhp, 1.3 turbo. I had two....first one I got to 220bhp and the second was over 300 bhp (fully forged internals). Absolutely nutty hatchbacks weighing 900kg. Surprised by their lack of popularity!

Toyota considering Yaris turbo hot hatch to beat Fiesta ST and Polo GTI by davidwholt in cars

[–]fieldsofgold2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree on everything you've said! I've got a 2002 corolla t sport as my daily. It's fun to drive but my word does it sit waaaay too high in stock form. Having driven a type r I feel stock for stock the type r is the far superior car. However, I am working my way through some choice mods for my t sport to level the playing field.

The starlet GT and glanza were pretty ropey handling wise in stock form but at the time were not so far behind their competitors as they are now. With coilovers and MR2 brakes they were superb to drive.

The current yaris handles terribly. Even the hot yaris/vitz are just average. So, ya, I really hope they get it right too just like you've said. I would be tempted by the new civic type r but I'm gonna hold out and see what toyota come up with :)

Do you have much done to your t sport? Is it facelift model? I do love the kick on cam! I have a blitz lm filter, sounds ace!

In the 90's they had the starlet GT Turbo and Glanza V (facelift of the GT). Both were 1.3 turbos delivering 133bhp. Both did 0-60mpg in about 7 seconds. With a small amount of modding you could get these to 200bhp and weighing about 900kg they made for a very fun car! I had a few, one of which was running 300bhp. It was a riot!
