  1. Yes it drives like a different car and feels right now. The tracking and canber were all over the place before I got it done.
  2. Thing is with these cars no one in the UK has managed to sort some diffs out which they really need.
  3. dont bother with ct9 hybrids go td04l miles better!
  4. theres no 4wd dyno in cumbria but this guy is building one him self as he currently just has a 2wd one he built years ago. i dont want to go to another tuner as ive been to him quite alot and hes spot on, and ive seen cars his mapped and built him self and he knows what hes doing. plus hes about 40 mins away. and he doesnt just do mapping he will do anything, engine building, any fabrication steel or alloy, custom exhausts, manifolds intercoolers anything at all. this dyno hes building can go from pretty much the length of a classic mini (if it was 4wd) to long enough for anything you like.
  5. check the condition of the bushes on the front end too.
  6. no i messed the launch but he only won by about a car length. Get the spanners and the bank card out and get it sorted out lol. I finally got the geometry setup after fitting the coilovers last year and more recently new ball joints, track rod ends, bottom arms and 2 new t1r's as i was down too the bands on one side due to running well over 2 degrees negative camber on one side. old vs new heres what it got set too. ive rang to see how the 4wd dyno is coming on and the rollers still havent been machined so im thinking about taking this off the road and buying a clean eg civic (if i can f
  7. I finally went and got my car setup since fitting the coilovers, ball joints, track rod ends, and new bottom arms and my tracking, camber and wheels were all over the place. i was surprised to find that on the computer with all the settings on it had the ep85 listed so i asked for it to be printed off. and heres what i got mine set too
  8. ep85 first gear is silly, you have to rev it right out just to get going lol. i wish i had the gt 1st in mine like WeeJohn
  9. ahh so hes still going to have the same power split and be spinning the front wheels a fair bit then.
  10. is it still running the viscous coupling John? i would have thought it would be a bit of a waste doing all that work and still keep the coupling. be good to see some pictures of it.
  11. im gonig down to leeds to meet some mates ive not seen for ages for a birthday night out. gutted its landed on the same night as i missed the last cruise too. you got your car mapped yet bum boy?
  12. really sorry to hear this, Dave was a top guy and always on the phone. i must have spoke to him for hours on the phone.
  13. a fellow northerner! well its not a starlet meet but daz should be there in his black gt. i cant make it though im afraid.

  15. im sure the guy who gaz bought his spare 4wd running gear off said he was going to do this but dont know if its the same guy or if he actually did it? if this is running gt4 running gear it must have taken a hell of a lot of work!! nice find Geo
  16. just running a bar and i dont know what power as its not been on a dyno yet. i think ive got another its nothing special though. going over the line i was only about a car length behind it
  17. i had this out for a few 1/4 miles on saturday. full interior 3/4 tank of fuel still not got the geometry setup and i managed a 13.49 heres a little vid of another run, i messed the launch right up as i shit my self when it blew the black crap out the back haha. still not got it mapped as the dyno still hasnt been built. doing my head in now. ive even gone and found somewhere else to machnine them for him lol.
  18. done 13.49 full interior 3/4 tank of juice un mapped and geometry not setup. running 1 bar on a vf35.
  19. This is today and tomorrow if anyone else fancies it. And there willbe atleast one starlet running all day today that I know of. And it looks like daz had finally got his hands dirty and fitted his clutch!
  20. You need to get longer bolts by about 15mm and space the bracket out about 15 either make a spacer up or just use a load of washers. Then the bolt hole will Line up to tension the belt
  21. cant im afraid mate im working till 9:30 you best have it in for sat tho!
  22. I ran an exedy for years without issue, carls has one and that's fine at 252bhp and has done about 30 launches at the last drag day, and so does peters now. Never had any problems with them.

    DIY Coilies

    you got a 4x4 ky? if you know a decent fabricator they would be able to make these up no problem. or any engineering shop i would say. my other starlet has diy coilovers on the front and they work great as you can choose any damper and springs you like so long as their the right diameter for the strut tube ect.
  24. do you do a brake kit to fit the toyota running gear on the kp's Keri?
