I've got Charade Detamoso rims on my T1 and I haven't had any issues with guard rub unless I go fast around corners with at least 5 people in my car. All I needed to do was grind about 1mm from the back of each spoke to clear the calipers.

You could definitely out-launch the Libero as my T1 has wasted an R32 manual GTST up to about 60kmh. Over that speed the Libero will probably win considering it has over double the power of a T1. City turbos are still cooler than Liberos though!

Sticky throttle

Sometimes when my engine is cold and I release the throttle and pop in the clutch to shift up a gear the revs keep going up sometimes to over 5000rpm so I have to do the hell quick gear changes so I don't damage my engine. This problem only occasionally happens but always when cold and it happens mo...

Have a look at a Honda wreckers yard as most Hondas are fwd and 4X100 (which is the right stud pattern for a city). I had to grind about 0.5mm from the back of the spokes so they clear the calipers properly but otherwise the charade rims I have on my T1 are a good fit and I only get guard rub when I...

B.O.V

Has anyone here put an aftermarket blow off valve on to a T1? I'm looking for an adjustable one but I don't know how to install it. Any ideas?

I used to have 175/70R13 on T2 rims on my T1. Then i got a set of 14X5 Daihatsu Charade Detomaso rims and got a set of directional Nankang 175/65R14 tyres on it which made it handle heaps better. In the wet the wheels used to spin heaps at 80kmh in 2nd. Now in the wet I hardly get any wheelspin and ...

A 2" with no muffler probably would be the best for race use on an NA City. Adding a bigger exhaust on an NA car usually doesn't increase performance that much unless other mods have been done to increase the engines power such as an aftermarket air intake, cam upgrade etc[/quote]

For a T1 or T2 a 2 1/4" turbo back exhaust with no cat is the best choice, with a resonator or free flowing muffler. If it has a substantially larger turbo installed then 2 1/2 is best with a free flowing muffler at the end or a big resonator if you want it to be road legal. For a N/A City 2&qu...

I just got the muffler removed and replaced with a big resonator. It sounded too loud and really shit with no muffler or resonator at all. Now it has a nice, deep sound 2 it like a big bore without attracting attention from the cops as it's not too loud.

What kind of exhaust have you guys got?

I have a 2 1/4" exhaust straight from the turbo with a "cherry bomb" straight through performance muffler. Trouble is, the exhaust note is not any louder than standard, just slightly deeper. I want to make it as loud as I can get it while still being legal (95db @ 4000rpm) so what kin...

The postage will probably be too much though.
