BigMan Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They are alot different to the way the fwd handels. I've got my old white dezent 15" alloys on now with yoko prada spec 2's so it grips awesome!makes such a difference dont it? haha i told you so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richglanzav Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 same tyres as i got for mine dude, the speed that it can hit a bend at is pretty much ridiculous lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i think these handle better when they have a bit of power running through them. when mine was running ct9 setup i didnt like it at all, it didnt feel nice pushing it round bends but now its miles better. i had it pushing out of some bends the other night haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 What you running on yours now bean? Is it td04? Imm not sure if the vf24 will be to laggy but i defo want boost! I miss it, even though the na is quite nippy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I miss it, even though the na is quite nippy!mines running a vf35 on a 5e, im only running a bar through it atm though. the best thing to do is try the turbo. everyone thinks the turbo they have is the best one anyones ever put on a starlet. just try it and see if you like it, if not try something else.

shorty Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I was running it on my v for a few weeks and it was a lil laggy, im just curious as to the sgorter ratio box and if it will make the turbo more livable day to day use, as the car isnt a daily but i like to drive it when ever i get a chance rather than a purpose built track/drag car ect, and the roads by me arnt big long fast straight its a bit of a mix of town and countryside roads.

Bean Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 these are alot different drive to gt's glanzas. these are more fun on back roads through the corners that sort of thing than flying about on motorways, duel carriageways ect due to the short gears and your always sitting higher in the revs so no high speed runs, pulls ect. if you already have the setup you might as well try it and see how it drives and how it suits you. my 5e is really responsive and spools the vf35 quicker than a 4e spools a td04l so i dont need to drop gears or put my foot down to get decent boost.

shorty Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 fair point, cheers dude. im gonna swap over the 5th gear from the spare glanza box my mate has and mybe even the 4th gear too. i totaly agree though, 4wd starbos are serious fun on bends! i just kep looking for corners and round abouts haha!

Bean Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 i still dont understand the full story with swapping gears and changing final drives and stuff. you want rid of the 4wd first gear though, its mental you could climb up the side of Everest with it no bother i recon!

shorty Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 lolme neither, I've just posted in the thread in the discusion section to try and get it clear, need better gearing up the top end, 1st isnt that bad imo, lol I've not put boost throughfirst mind so sure when you do that it flys past first lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Great to see you straight into another ep, I've a feeling this could turn out awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 lolme neither, I've just posted in the thread in the discusion section to try and get it clear, need better gearing up the top end, 1st isnt that bad imo, lol I've not put boost throughfirst mind so sure when you do that it flys past first lol1st gear is really short on mines, im sure when its boosted its gonna be far too short.they do handle awsome tho dont they, ive got budget tyres on mines atm and ive had a few brown pants moments but when i had the paradas on it was like it was on rails:D does yours have a rarb? i had a look under 1 day but i cant remember if it had 1 or not.

shorty Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yep has the rear arb on it, and your right pradas grip sooo well, i always stick with yoko's now, as a mate owns a tyre shop so i get them for a price i cant refuse.And cheers wallace, feels so good being in a starbo again. She needs a bit of work to make it as quick as the v was but it handles so well and is very light in comparison tona glanza tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 mines could really do with a rarb and these shit tyres are really letting it down atm but i never really get a chance to drive it in anger due to always having my son in the car. mines coming off the road next weekend to start work on it finally!when they are all done we will have to sort out a meet/trackday for a proper 4paw tear up!

She needs a bit of work to make it as quick as the v was but it handles so well and is very light in comparison tona glanza tbh.i honestly dont understand people saying that the 4 paws are probz heavier and bulkier due to the 4wd system. i can honestly say my ep95 feels easily as nimble as the glanza was if not more so.and a 4 paw mega meet wud be ace lol id travel for that one for sure. might have found a way to keep mine now thank god Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 mines tipped the scales at 980 with a full interior, spare wheel and half a tank of juicethey arent much heavier. Wonder how light it could be but ive got a kid so cant strip it out:( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ted Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 its not 5th gear that makes it short, its the final drive. 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th are the same as a gt. 1st is different tho, i put a gt 1st gear into mine. kept the lower gears tho, i prefer them. spuddy pulled 165mph in 5h on a gt std gearset so i think they are over-geared, but depends what you prefer.

shorty Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Ah right, hence enzo uploading the final drive details in the other thread. I just need to male it a better motorway cruiser for shows ect. Its gonna be a thirsty beast when its boosted. And tbh id of expected it to be a tad hevier due to running gear but its realy not and id put money on the 85 being lighter than my v and i shed a fair bit off the v. The 85 is very nible, will never go back to a fwd starlet now. And im up for the 4paw meet. Maybe try and get a 4paw track session at fest next year also a 4paw corner at jae on the starlet stand would be cool I've got no kids bucket but im not stripping mine, just give it more boost to compensate i love the full interior look. Im going proper sleeper with mine i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 didnt expect you to go all out sleeper with this going by your V lolim with you on not going back to a fwd ive drivin a few mates GT's latley and the difference the 4wd makes is insane. Mines might still be N/A but i still have more fun in mine than any of theirs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im going proper sleeper with mine i think i know what you mean, ep85 seems to feel more planted. i have some spare drivetrain bits and lifted the back axle into the garage yesterday, it weighs a ton! think more weight at the back helps the handling as a gt is very front biased.
