150 bhp for such a smal car should be quite interesting.

I tried a few NA Vitz's and I was rather disappointed with their performance, in contrast, the Starlets I test drove were quite capable, even without turbo's.

My old Carina GT was advertised as "Carina GT Turbo" when I first went to see it. People just put words to make the ad sound nice! LOL

lol probably the T in GT being for the Turbo Anyway Fuzzo are you sure that this Vitz advertised is the real deal? Very old school by Toyota really & maybe one of their hippest introductions in ages... but is this a mass produced car? or is it a limited edition or something?

cant say if the ad is legit or not. there was no phone no. on it. i did google it and toyota did make a RS turbo...so it's not totally impossible..

He, he,

A friend of mine bought a used Carina Ti from an 'Enthusiast' some time back. The other day he mentioned that it has some gadget that makes it idle for a while when you turn the switch key off......

Had a look at it yesterday, someone had actually fitted a turbo timer to a NA Carina ......
