All the best

Kieran

Just insured my car been on the road 6 months I'm 22 n co-op cut mine in half it went from 1300 to 660 best thing I ever done it is n/a but it's an import and really uncommon

Alright cheers mate

That's cool hit socks like above you will have it in no time.

Just standard starlet hoses buddy.

Harness bars ftw

Try shocking the nuts with a decent sized punch and hammer before slackening them.

John

I did to start with buddy trouble is when I first got her on the road the very first place I went was to get some tyres fitted and he done the wheel nuts up with some mental air gun thought nothing of it for a few weeks then had a slight noise from the brakes one evening so went to strip that side off and boom no more wheel nuts there's nothing left of the nuts to get on to to turn it. Really annoying. Now I've I'm honest I'll be rolling into jap show with this annoying sqweek/grinding. And my lower door plastics hanging of because I'm trying to source the correct fasteners. Not a good look

Have you got a picture of the broken one because there repairable to a degree

Ouch man! Just keep doing what youre doing dude, hammer / chisel / drill the fuckers off!

Also take the other two nuts off, get that wheel off the ground and hit the back of the tyre hard as you can with a hammer, will help shake them loose a little bit.

Thanks dude that's a trick I have yet to try I'll give it a go when I get a chance. Rely hoping to make it to santapod this weekend but the cars not in the best of shape to be honest haha it will all be sorted soon(ish)

Any updates mate? Proper love this!

Ahhh thanks man that made my day a lot better nothing's really happening with the car if I'm honest I've got a wheel stuck on due to cheap alloy wheel nuts so now I'm looking for a way to solve the problem. Any help would be great. I'm thinking about taking off the front hub with wheel calipers and disc all in place and getting the studs pressed out.

lol. It is true tho! lol

4 years today guys

so awesome to see it brought back from the ashes jay so upset that I couldn't make it down man. Hopefully I'll be at japfest and it would make my day to see this there.

Sounds perfect buddy pm me with a price posted to essex as it's payday tomorrow.

I can sell you 3.5 Gen1 pistons...

They would be dear though plus I'm only really after the 1 to see if wossner can match it to something els or if I have to get them custom made which it £150 on top of each piston so a fair bit of money but this engines hopefully going to be way off the Normal I hope.

You would have to go custom made, as companies Don't sell off the shelf forged N/A pistons. So best bet is getting yourself a piston and sending it to who ever is your choice and give them the piston as a sample.

You mean the bore diameter mate or the actual heights, wrist pin size etc?

I know that the bore diameter Is the same as the 4efte as I have them all written down my main concern is the size of the dome on top on the piston and the wrist pin size is also the same as the fte.

Can anyone provide some information on the piston dimensions of the gen 1 4efe please. Looking into sourcing a forged set but really need this information. Thanks

Just a standard one buddy. Same as the one on your Gi.

Be good for chopping the flange off though.

Thanks pal you looking at selling it then?

there is a trader on here that sels mild steel 1s i got some last year but cant remember his name  they where cheap to 

Awesome would be great if we knew who it was though haha

Ive got a spare exhaust mani here man.

Is it just a standard 4efe one? Or is it a nice one?

As above any one know where I can get one looking into Making up a manifold.

Thanks

All that's needed is russ78 he sorted it all for me

Perfect sir, thank you I'll hunt him down now

These to put on aswell next week ! Should help her come to a stop

Definitely not straight forward, i did a bit of a write up in the alternative engine discussion thread.

For it being worth it, yes and no, its a great engine and reasonable power, very suited for my local roads and driving style, plus the sound from the throttles and in an ep70-80 it would be even better as more weight saving.

However with the price of the 2zzge and K20 coming down and the lighter weight of the all alloy blocks you get more power and weight savings so i would be tempted to opt for one of them instead.

Thanks for the input dude really helps although the thought of my little gi running anything other then the E engines upsets me a little bit

Sure a lad called Jordan had one, jtstarlet92 was his username on here.

Zisco also made a custom ramhorn N/a system, dont know if its still around or not though! Dude called Jamie had it for a SR.

That's wicked I like that a lot dude. I'm after something along these lines just to suit the 4efe with big tubing

I'm not sure in price mate but I've seen one on here before looked awesome

Thanks man sounds interesting I'll have to have a dig around and see what I can find.

The most recent one

A bit more recent. New mounts and a bit of paint.

How difficult is the 4age conversion. And is it worth it?
