  1. Are people aware we are probably talking roughly 2k for an unassembled kit here?

    Which isn't much different to a quaife kit in terms of price

    And h drive already make a kit that would fit in a Yaris box that would fit on a starlet. But again couple of k for parts alone

    No chance we are getting 30 folk to spend 2k on a gearset.

    Cusco also have an updated gearset roughly. 1500 in parts anyone 'could' order in in theory - but who has

  3. Hi Phil,

    Sorry im not arguing with you im just trying to increase my knowledge. when you said something else you mean an uprated fuel pump or is there some more things that need changing?

    No

    Prob

    Have a read

    http://www.physics247.com/physics-tutorial/turbochargers.shtml

    Engine is basically an air pump

    You want more air moving threw it faster to make more power. Your fuelling just needs tuned to match the air flow.

    So you need more air if your going to make power from Additional fuel.

  4. I know that maybe I didnt ask the question properly, my question was what is the power gain after swapping the injector and fine tune the emanage for that particular injector.

    Your still not asking the right question

    Again the answer is no power gain

    Unless you change something else to require that extra fuelling potential

  5. no cheek intended, ive owned a few high hp starlets so i understand what goes into them. but yeah i guess breaking is the only way to get that kinda dosh back

    No offence taken pal. I'm pretty sure I know the username right back since TGTT days, you've been around fast starlets for some time for sure, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. No harm no foul.

  6. Know Browners V sold for about 10k.

    Starlets are going up in price, have been for the past while.

    Breaking is for sure the best way of getting your cash back.

    That's the only road car I've heard of going for good money. I know Spuddy was a lot more than that plus a Subaru in exchange. hard to price really.

    Anyways in a nut shell it's a low mileage shell, and even lower mileage engine/suspension and it's proven at the limit regularly.

    If you came for a run and seen the abuse this thing takes and takes I genuinely believe you wouldn't dare let me take the keys to any other 300hp starlet for 10mins and expect to get it back in one piece.

    And it isn't pot luck, it's trial and error, proper sized brakes and good balance is a start, then engine that can take the 7500+ every gear every time solid lifters etc and a cooling package to match.

    But I do appreciate that this isn't the usual sort of thing - it's a class specific car built with regs so no Lairy spoilers or body kits allowed etc but it could be bought and run in any MSA Hillclimbs or sprint with maybe minor tweaks Due to local rulings. It's not just road legal it's classed by MSA as roadgoing.

    Regarding the price - I'm aware that the market on here is mainly a parts market with few people likely to be interested in a complete car, it's been on pistonheads and Rms since the breaking thread has been up and I've contacted GordR on here specifically in the off chance as I know he uses his cars in a similar fashion.

    I have had interest but I'd still not be surprised if I do have to break it.

    Unless engine and turbo kit sell it'll be staying together until I get another crack at craigantlet for sure

    Phil

  7. Stock?

    I've a new wideband kit on the car last year as well forgot about that and a spare new sensor

    I'll update the list later - going to Let Her sit forsale complete for a wee While yet unless Someone wants engine and turbo kit.
