    im a bit unsure about it, a) its got a spacer behind the wheel to make it fit, B) my boost is all over the place (inconsistent) and c) my AFR readings were a bit strange plus my onboard boost gauge looked like it was pulling in 2 bar whereas my aftermarket one said 10 psi... all a bit odd.



    I think what I might have to do is strip it all off, get the cassette ground to fit the wheel and then send midland for a rebuild before focusing on maybe a new actuator and a professional map on the emb.



    of course I could always put the standard head gasket and do away with the 1.9mm Athena making it a true 5efHte :)



    So pure td04 5efhte it could be very soon, we will see!

    so been a bit quiet on the starlet front the last few months, mainly just been getting the motor ran in and doing little bits.



    was able to source a set of Lenso D1 7x15 rims and coupled them up with a set of Rainsport 3 tyres which i have to say performance for £ wise is insanely good:

    behind those bad boys now sits a set of twin pot st185s with D&G discs and kevlar pads, all achieved for under £100 parts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3brj6Eb0vAY

    i had been suffering severe clutch slip, i was running the original 4efte clutch plate from when i bought the car so defo needed an upgrade, now running with an American branded XTD Stage 3 from an MR2 (thanks Colin)m wee vid on that one too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3zexMkvDUE

    can you see where im going with this; uprated brakes + uprated clutch = ???



    THE ABILITY TO GO FASTER =@



    So with that in mind i got hold of an EMB and hooked it into my e01:

    I havent done any tweaking on it yet apart from wiped the previous owners maps, configured it to my engine size and injectors and linked the boost signal from the e01 to the emb using old usb computer cables... and the engine runs alot better just like that.



    originally i had it set to change up from smaller injectors but it ran lean on the afr, now just setting its base as 370cc and it runs 16afr idle and 11.2 on boost

    not much change on the exterior apart from the lenso's all ive done is a bit of fly-eye tinting on the lights, looks ok-ish but i really do suffer at night now, running main beam and fogs doesnt compare to the wifes audi tt dip beam so might be one to remove after the summer

    and that brings me up to tonights task of putting this lot together if you can tell what it is yet ;-)
