  1. i know :) I've been giggling like a school girl since fitting them lol, it sounds alot better and louder than on the vid haha

    Sounds fuckin epic dude nice 1 !! Meet soon i wana go lol

    yeah mate deffo i think theres another fyc meet soon so maybe then? if not ill give u a shout when im heading your way :)

  2. Most people will recommend a anti lift kit £65ish and a rear anti roll bar £160ish then I guess some new gas shocks and a basic set of springs (rsr-tein etc) but they will set u back more than £250 alone I should think,

    If your springs arent broke and shocks arent leaking id look at the other two bits first plus maybe get your tracking set, and possibly new bushes??

    Be worth getting more than just my opoinion tho

    thats Just my 2 pence

  3. U get a free redbull x2010 its mental!!

    Interior veiw on all cars albeit very basic on standard model cars.

    More control over changable weather

    A new intro video if u choose to download it.

    A load of 2011 model nascars

    Quicker loading of in game menus

    Better in race options

    Groups, restrictions and classes in online mode

    New race suits

    New photo mode locations

    And a new tab on the main menu for the dlc soon to be released

    Then theres various bug fixes and other stuff I've forgoten and dont care about

  4. In the case of his car it was to reduce drag aswel, at it was originally only 75hp, meaning it was biased as a fwd car but when the fronts lost traction then the rears came in, but the way it worked only put a limited amount of power through (70-30 or something) which is why the rear diff never destroyed itself prior to the solid prop.

    So if thats how the starlets work, I couldnt see why it couldnt be done?

    Oh and now his car has a welded rear diff yes it is now a pain in the arse to turn tight corners!

    Edit... just re-thought this and its prob the same setup as a starlet so diff wind up was prob some of the reason the rear diff needed welding?

  5. Not sure if this is the same or not but my mate has a subaru justy awd with a swift gti turbo engine in it (currently running 214whp) and his used to run a viscous coupling just before the rear diff, he put a solid shaft in instead but had to weld the rear diff as it would have shat itself if he didnt. Oh he also got his prop mounts poly filled at the same time.

    Needless to say he got his standing 1/4 mile down by 0.5secs from 12.9 to 12.4 making it the fastest justy in the country lol

  6. Me, my mate and his dad did the welding. Currently using a ae92 box but looking to upgrade to a ae111 5spd lsd :p

    Basically u need all custom mounts, wiring loom, and ideally 2 custom shafts to go from ae** gearbox hubs to downsize to ep** starlet hubs,

    I machined my hubs out to use all ae** parts with a vw passat bearing and the ae stub axles pressed in, I also managed to use the ae** drivers side shaft whole and only had to have one custom shaft made.

    Like I said not easy!!

    theres a few pics in my build thread or if u want to know a bit more feel free to ask and ill sort some pics out of it all :p

  7. Welcome along mate, and theirs actually 2 or us in the uk with 4age b.t powered black sr's and also a 2zzge ep82 on here aswell :(

    And to answer your question no its not easy, but its bloody good fun when its done :)

  8. I know my cars got a different engine but I had the same problem, it was the o2/lambda playing up and I had removed the charcoal canister and was running a vaccuum line straight onto the fuel tank breather, instead of through it, this caused almost exactly the same problem.

    Simple fix blocked the vaccuum line and left the breather going to atmosphere :thumbsup:

    Just something else to consider

  9. 4efe would be easier but they are cast iron blocks the 4zz is an ally engine so would help power to weight a bit, and drinking oil wont be a prob as its a rally car so id assume it would get regular services?

    I would be concerned about clearance on the exhaust manifold as its on the back and the bulkhead isnt designed for it.

    As for wiring stick a aftermarket ecu on it and save the hassle of the wiring :)

  10. word of warning with the VVTL-I engines the oil pumps are SHIT I've looked into it and most people fit a toda or similar oil pump for £400 just for the gears then you have the fun of fitting them, not sure if this was changed in later models but even lotus use the toda oil pump in their cars.

    and yeah the vvt-i engines do use a bit of oil but other than that their ok, oh and early yaris's have crap flywheels apparently :/
