Lol, fair enough. I'll do that tomorrow. As said I've done it when building engines, but I've always hated doing it.

THIS! Actually achievable with 300 bhp engines. Again wouldn't be very good though.

Nice block. But they are HUGE. Be a shame to butcher the chassis but yeah there is always that. It wouldn't really be a starlet after he's finished with it though really. Aww what really? I thought the Civic, Integra and S2000 all used the K20's. That's a shame but yeah what he said lol. That said though K20's are still solid engines. 200 bhp stock N/A

The good thing about those engines is that they really are over engineered. So naturally they're prone to tuning. There is also a big community out there and it's a VERY COMMON engine so parts will be relatively cheap and still able to come by in years to come. The only limitations are going to be its displacement of the 2.0 litre. Naturally the Skyline has a bigger engine or the Supras but will they fit in the bonnet? I don't even think this would. But I reckon a K20 would be a nice way to go. They're a power house stock putting out twice the bhp than a Starlet without a need of a turbo, just

For me that is just pure car porn lmao.

Is there even enough room to fit an engine that powerful? Jeez. If it were me. Now everyone will hate for me saying this but I'd go K20 turbo. Personally. They do a K20 stock engine that puts out 260 bhp WITHOUT A TURBO (Honda's S2000). So boosted alone you're looking at 330+ bhp. With porting, head work, ignition, fueling then 400+. Then it's just fck off turbos a severe tuning. I know my favourite super car in the world runs the K20 Turbo. I say super car by that I mean a supped up normal car. My favourite, the gorgeous, GT1 Turbo ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​But that's just me. I think they

Is that recommended? Last thing I want to do is cause more problems. I have done this before when building engines where I've locked off the gears using similar methods. I'm just skeptical about it. And thanks for the input

Item For Sale: Deep Dish Steering Wheel (OMP) Item Condition & Description: Not the best. Personally I think this is hideous and it's a struggle to reach the indicator stalks with this wheel. Has discolouring around the wheel. I haven't attempted to clean this up. This came off my EP82 which is full of bodge jobs so I CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS IS GENUINE! There are a lot of FAKE ones about and this is no doubt another one of those fake ones. However my car did have a pride and joy owner a few years ago so it's still possible to be genuine. I'll sell it on the assumption it's fake then you

Bloody hell mate that's mint! And LMAO What is that on the gear lever lmao. Very nice mate, not jealous at all!

Trying to dismantle my engine and need to remove the cam that's attached to the belt. But I guess I'm right in saying I need to remove the cog itself before I can go any further. So does anyone have a link to a decent cam holding tool that I can use to undo and then torque back up the nut?

Serious common problem on them mazdas

Cheers for that link Daniel. Now at least I can get the head off the is weekend

Wore my rude boy into work today. A few nods of appreciation for the gt turbo tee ☺

Yeah there are plenty now. But one day there won't be. It always seems like people forget that they won't ever make these again. When all else fails you can patch metal back up.

Wow dude not having much luck with this car are you. I know that the original engine looks bad, but you have that welded back together mate. I'd never buy a used engine and expect it to work. It is well worth your time just having yours rebuilt. Then at least you know for a fact it's a brand new engine. You don't even have to go forged mate. And you seem pretty knowledgeable so with the engine out you could drop that off at a garage and say rebuild it and it would have been cheaper than 900 quid. PayPal is really good and easy to get money back from them. Keep at it and if you're having mo

Very nice build. I love the fact you've gone retro on this one. Seeing as you're into Optional extras I have the underseat optional extra Amplifier for sale in the for sale section. Well worth checking out especially as you're collecting OEM audio parts. Also comes with OEM tweeters with the plugs still intact.

Nice. Yeah makes sense. Why didn't you save the Glanza, they seem to command more money than the GT's

Nice build. I like the engine build but what happened? Why didn't you use it? Was it because of that damage?

Cheers mate

All of these things. Together are complicated. But broken down.... ​ ​They could be scanned using a 3d scanner. And blue prints made and an engineering shop could manufacture up the individual pins. I know chaps that have made their own gear pinions for their home made cnc lathes. ​ ​Going from the principle that you have something to go by then I reckon there are other ways. yes expensive but when there simply isn't any about what can you do!

lmao. Fair enough. ​ ​Thanks again for those Wheels shaun. They're very nice.

Yeah that was what I was thinking. But these days I know grandads that are a little older than me....

Yeah I know. I was saying that that is like a dream car, the sort of car I would absolutely treasure. Especially when it has that sentimental element too. ​ ​I realise now that that was slightly misleading.

Surely there is not a lot it can actually be. ​ ​The engine gets hot, the thermostat opens. The water flows through the heater matrix. The fans take the heat away, the cabin gets warm. So surely it'sa one of those factors that has gone wrong. ​ ​The temperature gauge tells you the water is hot. The thermostat opening stops the engine from excessively over heating, below halfway the needle tends to sit. And you should clearly hear the fans. The only non obvious one will be the heater matrix has a blockage. Could try some radiator flush

Must be a way of modifying it to use the original box or the 4wd splitter and but use the manual part of the normal engine. As said I'm far from a mechanic and have no experience or concept of the auto setup. But there just has to be a way of making it work. I mean that said, I know autos are crap I would never have one, but really? Is it that bad to have an Auto 4wd starlet? I mean personally 130 bhp is too little for 4wd but even then.
