Calum122

Yeah I used 12mm MDF, pretty heavy duty stuff but I've mounted a fair bit to it.

That's wrong, they shouldn't have delivered the item if there was excess duty to be paid. Are you sure you've received everything.

If I had my time again, I would avoid eBay/GumTree and buy purely from this forum or TGTT! I got royally skanked off eBay something I could have avoided if I bought from an enthusiast! Yeah the initial outlay will be more, but I have spent thousands on mine and never driven it, so really it's much cheaper to buy a decent one. Just my two cents.

lol burt. Yes there are quite a few Starlets round our way driven my older ladies lmao

What does possibly Calibre mean?

Thanks Nick, I wanted to know what the difference was!

My brother had the Punto GT, used this engine. Obviously the Uno would have been more fun. He remembers selling it for a Civic EP3 and was oretty disappointed with the Civic when compared to the Punto. I was just saying the design was a bit naff, turbo constantly failed on his GT lol.

Shocking engines on those things, but quick cars. Even though they were only 8V non cross flow, 140 bhp in the Punto GT and were actually quick!

My motorbike is like this to a lesser extent. Mileage has jumped up and down the place due to changing clocks etc. I'm a genuine person and it's not always foul play, but as said for someone in the know, they'll be tell tale signs of what's legit or not. Good luck!

The problem is, if you buy one cheap like me, you spend the next three years fixing fault after fault.

IS the timing correcr.

To be honest mate, stuff like this I am pretty sure you just offer it all up and use your noggin to see if it's correct or not. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but if this were me I would just get the front mount positioned where I wanted it, the fabricate the rest around it. But that is me, I am sure that is probably backwards thinking and there are better ways.

I got a Cusco one, very nice. Can't comment on how it compares to the others on the market.

Hasn't Adam got a Mk1 for sale?

What was rhe GT20 like. Always fancied it myself??

I'll look forward to it

Nice, I want to see some photos dude!

Standard, forged over 300 miles to a tank. Well in the 3 years I've had the car, I've filled it up to the brim once and topped it up a few times. I've only done 550 miles in it.

My car is in pieces at the mo so was easy to snap. That's in neutral.

Yeah that's awesome!

You're not the first and you won't be the last!

Yes very much so. He is fabricating his own sill to replace the rotten sill. With a bit of luck it's going to look very OEM. The other side however may not, massive dent in the sill. No idea how someones done that. Might be able to bash it out, but it won't look 100%

Nice one colin great build

Great stuff!

I made such a mistake buying a MK3, I should have bought a MK1. If I wasn't living at home I would love to take this project off your hands Please don't scrap it though!
