the 5e is in now. only just got all tidyed up. will get some more pics up when its all wired up and stuff. got some more parts on order too i need to sell a load too and have a clearout. Yeah i will get some vids eventually Sean. it will be a while yet before its on the road though.

I konw the feeling! you just have to stick with it and spend a load more cash on it!!!

cheers mate, yeah its getting there now. i should get it fitted today, the bird has offered to give me a hand with it too haha. Nice plug there lol I dont think im going to bother with a catch can tbh. i was planning on just running the pipes down the back of the bulk head. It is a sweet bit of kit that tank of yours though, if i as going to get on it would be like that. Yeah it was great to meet some more of you guys it was a good weekend.

Thanks guys its always good to get some encouragement. It should make some where around 300+ It went quite well on the td04l setup no wheel spin or anything. Today i did a few bits like re rapping alot of the wiring loom to tidy it all up and protect it a bit better. Then i got the gear box and transfer box fitting onto the engine, this took me absolutely ages and was a right pain in the arse. heres a few pics. And my corner of mess!!

good luck with that clip there beasts. i bought a great big pair of long nose pliers with decent thick handles. then i bent the tips of them in slightly they work a treat for those huge circlips.

Arb fitted with all new bushes. i didnt get it fitted on the car as ive been painting the rear axle. Also got a coilover un-seized today and raised it a little on the front as it was a bit too low.

Updates So i sat around for ages not knowing what i was going to do, another forged 4e? a stock 4e? or then i thought about a forged 5e. so i started looking for 5e engine and everyone was wanting stupid money for them. My parents wouldnt let me have 3 cars but the went away for 2 week so in the end i bought this I drove it about for a week or so going to work and stuff then when i had a day off i set about removing the precious 5e a wilko bucket makes a great axle stand and after a few hours.. its out. So the 5e got sent off and my old 4e also. then i started doing a bit of c

anyone can guess at pricing these up but i know how much ive spent on mine and its alot more than what you guys are saying you can convert them for.

you cant use a fwd box as the transfer box wont fit i agree about it costing loads more than you expect. mine owes me a fair bit now. these cars cost more to run than an ep82/91 also with the 4wd system but also your sat higher up the rev range when cruising. so take that into consideration. the front suspension setup is the same so any front turbo setup is fine. the back end is different. meisters are a good choice or you can modify other coilovers with shorter springs and stuff like that. or raise the strut tops like gaz did on the blue beast. theres loads of info on these 4wds starlets

The pillow balls arent i believe haha

that 4wd steering wheel is the shit!! i hope you kept it G Man!!!

i really cant see it worth it staying n/a rip the engine out scrap the shell put it in a GT jobs a gooden

Thanks just the bare engine forged. no turbo or anything like that. ive got mine one sitting in my garage waiting

that sounds alot cheaper than i thought. im sure i got a quote from them a year or more ago and i was shocked at the price. I've got some spray on stuff that you bake in the oven then let it cure then bake again at a higher temp. im going to give that ago and see how it lasts.

its not cheap mate. zircotec are the best but it costs loads

i would wash it out first if it was me then blast it with a compressor or something.

if you have had it powder coated please give it a great f-in good wash out! take it in the shower or something and blast the shit out of it. you want to be certain theres no dirt or powder or stuff hiding under the baffle plate! if you dont it could ruin your engine!

nice write-up! all you need to do now is put it all in a starlet! haha jj there nice these 6 speed boxes

i broke a paseo a few months ago and a guy from works daughter has a paseo that the petrol tank leaks. i sold him the tank then he told me the tank didnt fit the paseo. does yours leak too?

there's a company in japan called zoom which make lowering springs for the ep85/95 starlet but there not cheap when you have added the postage on with the exchange rate also. ive got the meisters on mine and i would recommend them.

pics are still far too BIG. really you want to be getting some proper management instead of the fcd fpr and bigger injectors.

ive seen pics of one of these but running a td04l setup!

i think the optional arm rests are horrible in starlets they just look cheap and are pointless, they don't even fit very well. nice to see another ep*5 on these shores, good luck with it!

i just noticed about the rear bumper not matching, they never do on mkiv supra's im sure its to do with the rear bumper been made of a different type of plastic.

they all work for me, good vids.
