  1. Well big update on my build thread done :p

  2. And Now for the Big update! So my plans have changed for this build, and here is how it came about. So a friend brought this car had it for a little while, he then sold it to a friend of his (which is his Co-Driver). Back in late September 2016 my Brother went with them to rally in Belgium. I received a text from my brother saying he was selling the car and for only £500, Bargain! This is said car: Yes, its a E11 Corolla, but this is why I brought it. That's right! 4efte! My Starlet is now going turbocharged! And yes that is a front side exit exhaust! The plan was to get this drive it for a few days to a week then take the engine out. Yer... That didn't happen brought the car Friday, Saturday came and it ran out of MOT, so got it a new MOT. Saturday night blew a boost pipe, fixed it Sunday. Sunday night, having play saw two of my mates driving and followed them. This is when the gearbox decided it didn't want a 3rd or a clutch anymore. Managed to drive the car home with no clutch or third gear. Monday came around and as the car was on my insurance and I couldn't switch it back to the Starlet till 9am I had the day off work. Right time to get the engine out. I had a spare 4efe sat around so tried to put that in but then had problems with the differences from Starlet to Corolla wiring. In the end took the engine out and the good bits and scraped the car after a few weeks. Week or so later I picked up another Corolla to daily, Facelift E11 Corolla SR. 1.6 6 Speed (3zz-fe is the engine code) makes quite a nice daily (probably make a build thread in other cars for this) this is how it sits at the moment. Yes I even modified it. TTE spoiler, WRC rep package wheels (freshly powder coated and made by MIM),1zz throttle body and inlet, exhaust, induction kit, light bulb upgrades and interior lighting changes. Right back to the Starlet So what started as just rebuild the engine with new seals and putting it back in and done. Well its taken a different turn, the car has turned into a complete project car! Its now engine is being forged and worked on, body is being worked on, interior is going to change and even a few tweaks to the suspension. Even got a stage 3 clutch for it! So engine is off at the machine shop along with the crank and soon the flywheel. Block is getting re bored and skimmed, Crank is being re ground and polished for .25 bearings and fly wheel with be lightened and balanced. Head will also be sent to be skimmed. Also new seats for the Starlet! Well when I mean new, I mean new for the car, they are my friends old Rally car seats which I brought off my brother as he brought them off him for his Volvo 240 which he has now sold :'/ Thats it for now! More to come soon!
  3. Cheers, such nice seat aren't they! But they will be changed following the next update!
  4. Yer, my kit has also got a little feature of when I'm parked up I can have the projector glow different colours which I can change from my phone
  5. Nice progress, will be watching your thread from now!
  6. Nice updates man! loving the fresh paint! I have been wanting to projector conversion for awhile brought all the projector kit back in September but only just managed to get hold of a set of N/a crystal headlights to do it! Pete
  7. So it looks like I'm not able to go through the old posts and edit them as I realised that its done to stop people editing for sale posts for ever. Basically Im just going to do a brief overview of the missing pictures. If you want more on what it is PM me, always happy to help. So here goes: Mr2 SW20 seats fitted. Was previously made from my second build thread (Link in the first post of this thread) however I modified the seat buckle to make it more comfy with the belt and improved how they felt when your weight is pushing on them. Painted and added strut brace: Japfest: Clean engine bay: New Plates fitted: More pics of the 3 spokes: (Mod Nats) Things got abit horny hahha Shot of the interior: Coilovers: BC Racing Type RA JDM tsurikawa: Coilovers Destroyed my tires as they weren't set up right so set them at 0.75 degrees camber and re tracked (did use a camber gauge) Few Nice photos, one ft. Dad's E type Few from the Brakes: Celica ST202 twin pot calipers, Vauxhall Corsa C SRI 260mm Discs, Spacer ring and Extended studs. Giving a car a machine polish and wax: Little bit of a play with the Heater control lighting: Had the rear windows tinted: At JAE: (Went a little sticker whore ish) Now from here is a little bit of update, more to come tomorrow hopefully Trax: Much better which coilovers, bigger brakes and lower profile tyres, believe I was fast in the wet than when I went out at Japfest with just lowering springs. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8-oW_eHdKg Photo of beading: early morning Japshow finale:P So to fit the 3 spokes over the bigger brakes I needed 13mm spacers so a kind polish bloke at work machined these for me, also had a set of spacers made from my CMS wheels as they have different centre bores to the starlet hub. Looks like I'm going to have to do something with the front arches :/ That is all for now, big update/news on where this is going coming soon!
