what the slowest one they do? Ive just beat an R reg one out of 2 roundabouts and he WAs giving it the beans cause I heard it hit the limiter ( which suggests his shitty driving helped me ) I didnt hear any noise of a dump valve when I eventually dropped out at 80 and he passed it had the words Starlet Galanza on the back, it looked pretty factory looking, dark headlights and lowered a bit

They have boost control too.
Run it on LOW its 115bhp and on HIGH its 130BHP
My mate had one, was 0.2seconds off a 205bhp Integra Type R on the strip:

Common in our country and chavs all have them. Nice bhp for a 1.3 but don't have good looks + cheap interior.

I like them, but they come with factory fitted tissues on the parcel shelf and a cd hanging from the wing mirror

They seem to like giving it a boost of speed then put it in neutral and rev the heck out of it. The 5" can at the back and dump valve sounds seem to give them the race feeling 
I like to give them some soot from my 1.5td before they overtake me though
