  1. Hey ... Advances ! Well done Stu. Enjoying your other pages elsewhere also
  2. Hey ... Another interesting helpful post Came across it while on Google images ! Although I have mine apart, and am rebuilding things with a new set of gears, so no need to do things that way. May I make a suggestion ( Excuse me if I'm wrong ) How about using studs instead of bolts while housing is apart ? Make / use very slightly longer studs ( Loctite in ... Pre-drill studs in cross over pattern for lock-wiring, then lock wire in after, in conjunction with more Loctite on nut of course ! If you can get your hand in there or should I say half hand and fingers ( less chance o
  3. Hey .... That's what I like to hear ! Like you it's quite cold here Stu. Had snow the other week and main HYW was blocked all day.
  4. Opps ... Thanks for the heads up ! Hope all parts got sold. Fuel cell location is a little weird and way way to high though ?
  5. Hey ... Good to see your work Thanks for sharing. Might be a torque steering monster without equal length shafts though ? Cheers ....

  7. Hi Guys Thanks for your quick response .... Appreciated. Could you possibly advise either here on PM price you need for crank ? What size the journals are on both mains and ends too ? To save you both the effort ... I checked with Parcel Force but that was from Winchester The guy I spoke to, did not know about Parcel Services out of Ireland ? Global Economy was 112.95p Takes approx. 40 - 60 days days without tracking. ( Slow boat to China ) Global Value takes 6 -10 days and cost only 3 quid more and the bonus of tracking number ! They weight under 8
  8. Hi .... As heading Guys. Realize some may find these good for a boat anchor .... Other's think they are gold dust Either way I have a boat and need an anchor, like gold too So seriously if you have one to spare I would love to purchase as I can't get one here in Australia as we did not get the 1E .... Knew I should have stayed at home cause I'd need one some time ! Thanks in advance.

  10. Hey ... Sorry for late response ... Been building cage which is worse than a bottle of sleeping tablets, and never seems to end, but it will be what I want soon. Thanks for your input Agreed .... Probably go the TRD as I prefer the centre set up. But if money was no problem the ATS Carbon. My build thread has our Motorsport Governing Body ( CAMS ) rules ... >http://docs.cams.com...p-3J-2015-1.pdf To run a car in IP ... One can't change the suspension design. MUST use original LCA and ALL rear end parts with the exception of suspension struts and hubs
  11. Hey ... While looking for something else I come across this !!! What a I am, as 1 1/4 hrs later at 2.43 am and way past my bed time, I finally reach the anti climax .... is not finished Ahh well, no sweet dreams for me tonight loll Next time .... Top efforts my man
  12. Hey ... Interesting ... Guess they still live in their 16th Century Thatched Roof Cottage Hmmm, Small world, they may find it is just that one day !! Later's
  13. Hey ... Have the FIA Homolagation papers in disc format if anyone needs. This is for the 1985 version EP71 - EFI version ( A5271 papers ) not the turbo EP71 as that is 5/1986 on ( 5303 A Toyota Starlet Turbo (EP71) 1814 01.07.1986 J 6 ) Thanks if I can figure out how to post it up Here are the ones that I know of and I may be able to share .... 5022 A Toyota Starlet 1300 KP61 1290 01.04.1982 J 7 5136 A Toyota Starlet 1200 KP62 1166 01.04.1983 J 2 5270 A Toyota Starlet 1300 EP71 1296 01.05.1985 J 10 5271 A Toyota Starlet EFI EP71 1296 01.05.1985 J 8 5303 A Toyota Starlet Turbo
  14. Hi ... Thanks for your response lad. Is that the same company that make the Carbon Starlet diffs ? I was looking at those, a bit exy but .... Basically looking for the best transition with least aggression ( Smooth transition ) out there. Ok ... Thanks Rather than start a new thread ( Which I shall if I can't find I need here ! ) I'm told the Glanza Turbo drive line uses equal length drive shafts with a normal nearside ( Passenger ) shaft, and the drivers has a jack shaft from the diff to around the end of the block around the block face. There is a housing that
  15. Thanks .... Chaps / Chappet's ( Is there such a word "? ) I'm sure humble enough to appreciate advise cause you never stop learning Just trying to get the right diff first time round if possible .... I am making many compromises to do things right and don't have buckets of dosh to do this project. Raced with Welded diffs and ZF ( Pawl Type ) Sailbury also way back when Noah was a boy. Not used TRD or ATS or KAZZ let alone Cusco ! So I guess I'm out of my depth and pretty lost .... As chassis set up dictates the " Correct diff " If the chassis is wrong the diff may as well be a vis
  16. Hey ... Thanks for the heads up. Things never change .... Do they. Thieving scum every where. For what it's worth I finally chose Keith from Zisco as he has been very helpful indeed. Got some very nice ratios too ! On a well sadder note. I invested tens of thousands in firstly Zeemaz International run by Barry & Donna Freedmen about 16 years ago based in Norfolk !! If it wasn't the guys contractor who gave me the heads up .... I would have also lost the Mini shell sent straight from Rover to have a kit fitted and painted at his shop, then sent out here as I w
  17. Hi ... Thanks ... Other than the cost of the Quife product doesn't the diff release or rather not lock if you kerb hopp at any stage. I used GIG / Salsbury and also ZF when racing minis with the ZF I liked the best and that was a pawl diff. As all the TRD / KAZ / Cuzzco are about the same cost I'm looking more towards the TRD from reports here.
  18. Hi People .... Have asked this in my build thread / blog but in case no one looks there ! Building a race car for circuit racing. No slicks buy AO50 R semis in Med comp. Should have pretty good HP and although searching, I am still interested to know what people think ( Preferably from experience not he said she said ) Which is the most popular LSD to use. Subject to availability of course. I have raced a few FWD cars but not a Starlet EP71 Any help appreciated .... Thanks in advance
