While I haven't done a conversion, its been playing on my mind for a while now. My reasoning is that if you enjoy your n/a and have an attachment to it fair enough but if you want power then by all means do the conversion. some people will list pros for doing it such as; owning a sleeper, completing a conversion to really learn about there car and its engine. increasing the car's power. getting over the inferiority complex of not having a front mount.... Some cons are as follows; the expense of the conversion parts themselves Increased cost of insurance. time and effort involved in doing t

Hey mate nice build mate, Are you by any chance based in cork in Ireland??, It's just I remember seeing an ep70 like this in cork a while back, this looks like the same car and rims?? What are your plans for the engine side of things?? Nic

Well I went about fitting the brace yesterday. Happy to say its 90% on now, must just tighten up the bulkhead bolt when my bro gives me my sockets and stuff back Unfortunately it wasn't an easy fit or a direct fit. the metal of the end links was a little high and was catching on the frame of the bonnet when closing the bonnet. The Solution?? I got the my trusty persuader (the hammer) and beat a half golf ball size part of the frame in, in order to close the bonnet. Thankfully it doesn't appear to have damaged the profile of the bonnet so it's all gud. Results It does seem to turn in a sha

Yeah it seems to be making a difference already. Yes they are expensive but until you've held one then you don't appreciate it properly, the welding is stunning and it's light as a feather. That was the plan for yesterday, but I ran out of time so I stioll have a little left to do. thanx Cheers boss

Thanx mate, I got it at a gud price from Nath with the front ARB

Well its been a while since I did any work to the starlet other than driving the bollocks out of it, so with that in mind I though that it was long overdue sum TLC and mods more importantly. A few weeks back Starlet Nath started selling off the parts from his build, while I had always liked keeping track of his build I was suprised to see his build come to an end, But every cloud has a silver lining.....Nath was selling sum parts that I've always wanted namely a okuyama Carbing 3 point Aluminum strur brace. The brace in question is to my knowledge not very common, in fact correct me if im

My Carbing 3 point brace & front 22mm ARB arrived today just as described and in flawless condition. Nath was very helpful and easy to deal with and patient also after I f**ked up the paypal... Shipping took a mere 3 days from his place to mine in the south of Ireland a new record....usually a week... In general im delighted with the service and parts, I would buy off Nath again in a shot if I needed anything else. Nic

Well I just thought that I\\\\\\\'d do a little update of my ep exploits of late. Firstly I had my NCT (Irish version of the UK mot) earlier in the month, so I serviced the car ....changed the sard oil filter, chucked in sum castrol oil, changed the iridium plugs, cleaned the TRD airfilter and fitted a new rotor arm and dizzy cap. Also had the headlights aligned. Lovely result running smooth and cool, So off I went to the test and guess what IT FAILED......apparently play in the rear drivers wheel bearing, went and bought a new bearing and me and my bro went to fit if (He does all my moddi
