Corsa 1.4sri

[Nick-Johnson]

I have driven a 1.4 SRI before and thought it was very nippy for the size of the engine didn’t feel much slower than my old Yaris T-Sport to be honest. Still rather have the Toyota though thanks very much

Yep, without a doubt i would rather have the Yaris............

But i have to say that i was very surprised at the acceleration of the SRI, although there was a noticeable difference once i got into 3rd gear!!

But at the end of the day it's still a Corsa!

And the majority of us own Toyota's, nuff said!

(where dyou get that boxing smiley? it's awesum......made me laugh anyway)

well, i've raced a guy in a 1.6 16v jobby, and that was certainly not quick by anymeans.

and its not JAP, lol.

oh, and before i get slated, i don't have a yaris tsport or any yaris, my other half does.

in my view, quick means 0-60 in under 5, above that is just kinda nippy. and 1/4 mile in under 13. which means as mine sits at around 5 to 60, its in the kinda nippy stage.

Well theres not many cars out there that can do 0-60 in less than 5secs thats for sure, until you start talking bout Scoobys and Skylines, but they dont really compare to 1.5 & 1.6's do they.........???? <_<

lol ... agree with lee on that one, there's not many cars that will hit 60 in under 5 seconds UNMODIFIED, unless you want to talk about ferraris and porsche, which of course come with a price tag of up to £silly

I would say that a 0-60 of under 9 seconds was nippy, under 7 was quick, and under 5 was fast!

In my short but colourful life i've found that you don't really run into many cars each day on the roads that launch to 60 in 7 seconds or under... nevermind 5 seconds.... so in that respect you have to consider anything that hits 60 in 9 seconds or under... quite nippy!

just my view on things anyway

[tiktok]

true, mine unmodifed is around the mide to high 5's. lol, not with my gear changeing though.

off the top of my head, 3 scoobs that have <5 are P1 = 4.6, sti's type R also 4.6 and the type RA which is 4.3. Sorry, i only know stuff (and limited at that) about scoobs.

tell you what though, i rearely have much trouble with cars, as like you say, most cars on the road are not overly quick, yet, as embarrasing as this is, miss tsports little yaris does pretty well. Had a blat with her on a local twisty PRIVATE road, which fair enough she travels more often than me and knows better, but 110mph and i could not shake her off my butt. Ok, got to a straight and i left her, but she was able to take corners quicker than me, cos i just couldn't bring myself to throw the car round em. Can't say that for many cars.

For a 1.5, ok slightly modd'd, it does have some guts to it. And seeing as mines a group 18 on the insurance and the tsports is a 7, i don't think thats bad, big respect to the lovely yaris's. If thye had a 4x4 turbo version, i'd trade.

[tiktok]

oh forgot to say, shes just itching to slap a supercharge on it, and then i recon it will keep up with unmodd'd or lightly modd'd scoobs and skylines wihtout much hassle. Ok, not from the line with the scoobs due to awd and the 4x4 skylines, but any 2wd and it will be sitting on the bumper.

Tis the most impressive small engine car i think i've had the pleasure to drive.

[Yarisboy]

hold that thought tiktok!

the Turbo vitz (japanese yaris) holds 150bhp through the front wheels with a limited slip dif I believe.... which in a car as light as the yaris must give some torque steer

I've heard the 0-60 for those TS turbo's is about 7 seconds, and there's a few yaris's about... your lady's included that are probably not far off that figure... but as always, 0-60 never matters with cars!

with the extra torque and mid range power available over the N/A yaris... coupled with the flat cornering of a TTE setup... that vitz turbo must be a lot of fun!

I'm sure someone has imported one to the UK ... was in a thread a while back, might be an idea for u m8... not sure how you'd solve the AWD problem though, if you could make it AWD... you could pump 300bhp through it

hi yarisboy,

i work at xtreme(x ralliart uk) i see evos daily that do

under 5 and weekly that do under 4

ooooh, 4wd on a yaris, now that would be &#33;Removed&#33; good fun.

Yeah, the vitz turbo sounds good, i didnt think it was lsd though, more like traction control.

HOw do you have lsd on front wheels? escuse my ignorance, i've got lsd on my rear wheels and thought that it basically made so that one wheel cannot spin little crzy on its own? some of the imprt scoobs have the ability to lock the diffs at the front, which is fine for straight lines but obviously you can't corner. Hmmm, i think gettig confused somewhere between locking the diffs and lsd.

can u imagine slamming 300bhp though a 4x4 yaris. it'll would be like a pulsa, except lighter.

I was looking up yaris weights the other day, and seemingly according to the data i found, the tpsort was a standard 1005kg, anyone agree with this? i thought that sounded about right, my own car is around thr 1500kg mark.

hmmmm, could you nick the 4wd drive train of a little subaru justy or pulsa, or fiat panda and mod to a yaris? not being mechincally minded i've not the foggiest, but it sounds good. lol.

[Yarisboy]

kimi - sounds nice m8 :) you must be amongst the small number of people who sees those kinds of cars daily.. nice job

tiktok - I could be wrong but I always thought that LSD was... to a certain extent similar to AWD in it's theory... i.e. it would send power to the wheel with the most grip in order to keep the thing on the road!

I'm sure the Focus RS has a LSD on the front wheels, i'm not sure if the Alfa GTA has... it's supposed to be a raw 250bhp FWD driving machine, but it must have something to stop u shredding ur tires/slipping off the road. :o

Regards to the yaris... where there's a will there's a way!

[tiktok]

hmmm, i do think ya right. i gt esily confused in my old age. Limited sliff and locking the diffs just send my mine in a muddle. I wonder why they only put it on the rear of my car? would of been handy to have at the front too.

Alfa GTA, hmmmm, maybe its just raw power, which it goes nowhere quickly.

[s0cks]

I remember when Top Gear test drove the Focus RS with LSD. They said it was &#33;Removed&#33; scary, cus it went like the wind in woteva direction it liked.

E.g. when overtaking you usually put ur foot down then as you get close you pull out. Well the Focus RS, once you put your foot down would like to stay going straight!! It also followed the line of every pot hole in the road. So a very tirsome car to drive by the sounds of it.

My guess is you have LSD in the rear because you have power also going to the rears. Thus preventing your rear end from swaying about so much??

hi guys, iv just signed up to this forum...

lol the reason bein is coz, my bro has a T- Sport and he emailed me the link for this topic, coz i have a corsa SRi 16v

anyways back to the topic...a standard yaris t sport, whith a good driver should comfortably beat a standard corsa SRi 16v (never mind the 8v sri!)

but hay at the end of the day it is a 1.5! :P

my bro and i have lots of fun, i enjoy drivin his car, its just a shame it handles badly standard! (but im lowin his soon :) )

we av raced properly about 3 times and im glad to say iv beaten him every time :) but to be honest i know thats coz im the better driver! :P

our cars our very very evenly matched...coz mines tuned... i have a full exhaust system, de cat pipe, induction kit, superchip with raised rev limit and a velos torque tube (a new inlet maniflold). it needs a session on the rollers (it needs a tune up anyway as its runnin rich!) but im expect about 115 - 120bhp.

wat do standard t-sports do a 1/4 mile in? my best was 16.6 but iv only had one session at it.

My T-Sport runs a standing 1/4 mile in 14.8 seconds with a Top Speed 89.99 MPH .

Well you did just say T-Sport, not what model.
