I'm all over this, do you have a previous build thread on the ep91, and I was wondering about its spec\build thread?. 

Following this. 

Haven't updated the old thread in a while, if you see it on instagram it went a long way haha fiske carbon bits, blitz k1, jam ecu

Following this on instagram, your Glanza looked really good I did see it at one of the shows last year, Japfest Silverstone I think it might have been, be interesting to see how this one turns out, any plans for EP71 turbo bodykit or going for a sleeper this time around?

Cheers mate! Yeah Only show I've been to in the UK with my old one, this one will be there too hopefully!

Well, atm I've got the optional SI lip, and other OEM bits to freshen it up, no Turbo bodykit planned atm, too expensive for what is is tbh...

Hard times are upon us with this virus so I decided to start a build thread for my new build!

Some may already know me from my previous build, the green EP91 Glanza conversion from France, well, after all these years, I needed to start over, so I set my course to a boxy Starlet. 

Plan is to swap every little bit from my green one, who already has most of the blood, sweat and tears thrown into it (and money). This build will be better than the first one since I've learned a thing or two with the previous one hahah

The first challenge was finding the perfect base for my build, which is difficult in France since this model wasn't sold here at that time as better options were available and made here directly... (Thank you Japan for sending basic crap to us europeans!) 

Anyway, I found my pearl in my home country, Portugal, we love these there but again, only the basic 1.0 were sold to the public, the 1.3's were only for racing and about 50 of those made their way there, not many roam around today... Got on a plane and went to get my precious with my mate!

While I was there I filled the boot of the car with parts I would not be able to find here or anywhere else since Toyota discontinued most of the bits for these nuggets...

So, cool, I bought it! But Paris is 1500km away now and this thing won't fit in a plane.. 

ROADTRIP TIME BABYYYY! 

First, I had to upgrade the sound system!

And with that out of the way, it was time to go, the trip took me a whopping 17 hours on the road in total, with one stop to sleep along the way! Here's some pics for you lot!

The scariest bit in this light car...

But we eventually made it! We've been through rain, snow, steep mountain roads, this thing never missed a beat with all it's 54 horses pushing me back to France! 4 speed gearbox made the experience 10x better too!

And got the two together! (not for long hahah) 

The most important pic of them all!

That's it for the introduction, hope you guys are as pumped as I am! Next we'll start the mods! Got loads of pics of stuff that I already did to it so keep your eyeballs peeled! 

More pics on Instagram! @jpfcampos1995

Would love to see it on the konig hypergram, as that' wwhat I wanted put cost alot too import them into England 

I'm ordering them for sure! I love them

Thanks man! it's a handful, soon it'll have some new bits!!

little update and future plans:

Car runs like a dream, no problems at all, engine has near 0 oil consumption, no smoke at all, really happy with it!

Next on the cards is coilovers, for sure (BC Racing) and a panhard rod!

Then it's new wheels time as I'm sick of the speedlines, (KONIG HYPERGRAM) same specs

brake overhaul, can't decide if I keep the stock glanza brakes and just put in some shiny new competition rotors + pads... I'm really happy with how it brakes, problem is heat :/

then it's time for cosmetic changes, really want a set of carbon fiber wings, would also love a carbon reverse scoop, plate surround and a spoiler of sorts

Oh and custom fmic too, jam ecu and crank up the boost!!

Thanks guys this project has been a dream come true so far, lots more to come

WOaaa des français ... dire que j'ai fait cette conversion il y a des années ... bon courage et jolie voiture au passage

Et oui!! Tu viens d'où?? Merci

Just an update on this beast!

New engine did 10.000km already on my Starlet and it didn't miss a beat, so happy with it! the LSD is awesome too, just powers through twisty roads!

Went to Portugal and back, which totals 3200km and the trip was awesome, no overheating, just 98 and go! (A lot of it *cries in japanese*) Dyno'd it there at 144hp!

Next on the list is definitely suspension and chassis reinforcement, it really needs it... And needs better brakes as the ultimax 2 pads I have fade like hell, to the point that I had almost no brakes at all while going downhill in a one car road near my home town, not to mention the only thing that will stop you is the river in the bottom of the valley... need a rear disc conversion asap! (I'm also tired of my wheels ahahahah)

While there, she got a new butt

Lots more to come, wiill make it to japfest no doubt next time!

Check if there's a code and check IGF (ignition feedback)

So the engine came in ages ago! Ahah

Gave it a little clean and service and now it's in the car all wired in and starting!

Got a japspeed catback installed + a jperformance decat and manifold combo on the way

Pics!

nah, small core and intact bumper for me Like to put my reg where it belongs

I'll have the decat mate!

Looks ready for some hillclimbs!

Go to a body shop? I'm sure they'll sort that and the rear guard too

get it fixed mate, she looks awesome!

Nice fogs mate eheh hope you're not selling it anymore

Hi guys! the engine is arriving tommorow in the meantime I've built a stealthy boost gauge eheh

Both crank seals and oil pump oring mate... Been there already... Exactly the same leaks

Can't wait! Just need tobsort out wiring and she'll be mint

Got a full fte coming mate xD

Got some parts from Toyota for the "new" engine, gonna freshen it up and give it a good service before throwing it in, here's what I got:

And here's what I've been waiting for for so long... All wrapped up, comes with driveshafts and motor mounts because... It has an OEM LSD box!!! wasn't on the mods list but hey, at least it's done

And a little joke ahaha

Thanks haven't had time to make an how ti on the projectors but if people ask I'll answer

Ebay mate, mini 2.5" projectors, about the car, well it's doing great, my engine is drinking oil like mad, have to top up every end of week.. No leaks as it was all fixed, good thing I'm swapping it

Mint mate! wired mine in, they're so bright
