dyno was done at clive atthow in norwich on a dasket 1500hp dyno, should be fairly accurate as a friend got his FD2 civic type R dyno'd which should make 222hp stock and it made 223hp so it was a nice comparison so have.

I've posted these up in the video section but thought they may aswel be in here also as its where their from

Now earn 1080 a month

And some how managed to get both my modded cars insured for £600. admiral multi car and 3 years noclaims

As for bills im lucky and I live at home and I resently cut my phone bill from 45 to 15 saving 360 a year!

Its the little things that help bcoz u dont tend to notice it straight away so u end up with a nice lil bit of dollar every no and again

I have the most expensive optional mats

But u could spent a fortune kiting your car up with all them extra bits haha

Oh and tte splitter... Big T-sr has one and hes on the mainland thats if he hasnt got rid!

its more of a evo with a ep82 shell on it lol bit of a beast tho!

well as requested here's a lil video of the starlet

short shifted in 1st and planted the rest, let off in 4th before the speed limiter kicked in

sorry about the poor quality its off of my phone

Well if that is the case its nearly identical to the style of the corolla front end on my car, not a conplaint I like it I would try fit my fog lights and sr lip aswel tho and not go euro style

the red one reminds me of a metro

and both of them bumpers are from facelift bugeye corolla's like mine 1, I've never even considered that they would fit, not that i like them either tho

haha tell me about it I was grinning ear to ear when it was doibg these lol, and I cant wait to get open throttles on it will be even louder

And revs were at 7777rpm when it hit the speed limiter in 4th im not sure if these go to 8250 or 8400, either way the power was still climbing when it hit it

And their is a build thread in the n/a section, but im far to slack to keep it up to date haha

Oh ill be getting the printout uploaded soon aswel!!

Yeah I mite hav to get one then, along with some new clocks lol watching the rev counter and speedo bury themselves can get u a lil paranoid at times lol

If I was you I would measure your disc as I have a 98 sr but it had 238s on it.

Hey anyone regarding speed limiters as I have uk clocks my mate recons its not as easy as just gettin a scd and fitting it as it needs the conversion thing aswel. Not too clued up on this as im kinda in the dark with this swap being 1 of a handful of 4age powered ep's!?!? Lol

the funny thing is it hit my speed limiter before my rev limiter theirs still over 500rpm left

so went to a dyno today, clive attowe in norwich with a 1500hp dastek dyno.

was expecting mid 150's as they recon these engines never make stock power :/ so i was a lil pesimistic but did it anyway.

1st power run made 168fly

http://youtu.be/cjhcV21u3Zw

the 2nd made 167.4 and 121.4 lb ft or 121whp

http://youtu.be/B1hmDie16LI

so i was pleasantly pleased with my lil beast

incase no1 knows

its a 1600 20v 4age n/a

best tip i can say is take your time, lots of thin layers of paint with ample time to dry inbetween, i learnt the hard way and had to sand it back after i rushed the final layer of paint as i got impatient.

also dont apply laquer when the wheels are very cold (shouldnt be to much trouble in this temperature) but i did mine outside in feburary and it now looks like my wheels are made of china!! lol

Yeah I would like to find the one that was registered in 2008 see if it had been kept dry stored or something, its probably mint with f.a miles on it!!

Lol my bad for not mentioning the site cheers raz!

Id like to know if the Japanese have a similar database then maybr you gt and v boys and girls could find out a bit..

Just been on this site that they mentioned on topgear on sunday to see how many sr"s their are left

Turns out their was just over 750 registered in total the latest getting registered in 2008 and their is now 456 on the road and 38 sorn!

Random bit of info for us SR owners

P.s sorry if this is a repost

mines been a c*nt since the day i brought it over 4 years ago, its spent more time sorn than taxed yet has cost me more in the last 6 months than buying taxing and insuring repairing and mot'ing my second car for the last 2 years, and its still playing up!!!!!!!

Cheers guys well happy with the bay looks like its ment to be the IMO, and yes its awsome fun watching the rev counter nearly break the needle everytime it hits the stop at the end always puts a smile on my face lol

alrite guys as i said some pics of the engine bay in its completeness, sorry still no vids as i havnt fiited the oil fitting yet, been busy being drunk and hanging alot haha

It will be getting velocity stacks and socks eventually but im focusing on getting it running well in as close to standard form as possible so that i when i do mod it more i can rule out any problems that may occur.

so anyway 20v in running form

Probably should remove the gti16 badge as its a bit of a lie now lmao...

and this is the clearance behind the intake plenum, basically not much.

i think when under load it has actually still pulled back and hit my clutch line which is about 10-15mm away and this is with a polybush rear mount, so i may be investing in some ae92 polymounts for the cam and gearbox mounts :s

i will get some videos eventually guys but its not quite running 100% and i have a poo poo camera

not much of a turbo geek but if its a vaccum line going inside the car surely it would be for a boost gauge or something like that??

try blocking it off and running it??

cant see what else inside the car would need any form of vaccum line other than a standalone like a megasquirt or something similar!!

probably miles off but my 2pence lol

I've only just noticed their isnt any pictures of the finished engine bay..... MY BAD i will get some 1st thing when it is reassembled tomorrow with the new oil fitting!!

sorry guys no videos my phone camera's crap and been having some tempramental misfire issues that i have been struggling with majorly and i snapped off a oil fitting in the block yesterday but do now have it out but need a new tee peice fitting for it.

have now got the car lowered as much as i can on the rear and slightly lower on the front but they have another 10mm + to go :s and its on a set of white speedlines and did the writing in orange on one and now regretting not doing it on the rest of them!! i now need some hubcentric spacers for the rear because of the gt rear beam! and I am now thinking its now too low to have a cusco lower front strut but may put it back on at some point lol

but between the misfiring i have been having some fun with her, 2.2 astra coupe whilst carrying 4 spare wheels and a passenger (you really can notice even a small passenger in this thing!) and a fiesta st500 from 30mph like it was a 1.2 haha and its a tiny bit quicker than my mates honda cb1 400 these where off of roundabouts so mainly 2nd 3rd gear pulls only problem is its still got the japanese limiter and i havnt even made use of 5th gear yet not that you need it anyway.

anyway here are a couple of pics of her all cleaned up and settled

I will get some videos of the performance, sound etc up but im trying to get all the small problems sorted before hand

and as for the seat like i said its a toM seat its missing the "S" from the tom's but meh i dunno lol

haha thats cool, I've seen two cars in norwich with the number either side of mine both toyotas, and the other week i saw a micra identical to my 1st car that was the next digit to that aswel! go to show how small norfolk is and how little people get out haha

they could of been from a impreza i have a set of speedline safari's but in 5 stud, and toyota wheels wont fit a civic the centre bore on them is too large, tried it on a mates one
