Another 4age powered Starlet, I like it! They always seem to go a lot harder just before they let go ;) Good work, bring it back to life and show us some updated engine bay shots

I'm not sure if the 4efte uses a IDL input off the TPS, but if you tweak the throttle stops and it does, it won't be within spec anymore. You could crack the throttle open a tiny bit and reset the TPS if you really wanted to do it this way. But idle adjustments should be able to be set with the idle screw. I've seen other Toyotas have the idle raised this way and without resetting the TPS it causes all sorts of idle and off idle issues.

Forgot to put a engine bay shot in, plus some bonus ones of a Melbourne Starlet meet. Less than 20 GTs in Melbourne, and that green Glanza replica got written off a while back And one where a mate was trying HDR photography.

It's been a hectic time over the past few months, lots of track days, got made redundent at the Toyota wreckers(breakers to you lot ) on the Thursday before Good Friday, hired by Mitsubishi Dandenong to be the pre delivery mechanic, I'm the last one to roadtest cars before a customer gets it. Exciting as that may sound, our dealership doesn't get evos We had a dyno day (rolling road??) and my 20v just pipped the girlfriends Starlet GT, mine 82.9fwkw, hers got 81.2. Her car makes more torque all the way through, in a drag race I reckon she'd win. Pics of me at the track, not really in any

I did everything except the exhaust myself, would've had a go at it myself but I ran out of time and we needed to get it on the track. All up it's costed me about 2000 AUD to do the swap, 500 for the motor 50 for the gearbox 200 for a chomoly flywheel 4.3kg or something like that 250 clutch kit 150 for a blacktop brain 500 for the exhaust 350?? for clamps, cables, hoses, solder, heatshrink and other stuff i've forgotten I was working at a toyota wrecking yard at the time so getting all the bits wasn't a problem, doing a bit of r&d during my lunch break certainly helped when the time c

Haha, I'll probably give it a miss seeing as me and the car are located in Melbourne Australia I've been on a dyno with mine and the power is certainly up top Power is in kW, and the rpms is a little bit off as they hold the dyno at 3000 on your tacho, then tell the computer it's at 3000, so any speedo error, tacho error, comes up as a wayward rpm figure. so peak should be about 7800 on mine click on it to see the big version Haven't yet limited in 3rd as I choose to use a taller diffed gearbox, 3rd would take me to 172 kph before it stopped.

Congratulations on building another 4AGE powered Starlet, it's the way of the future just between you and me. Once all the 4EFTEs dry up they will have to turn to an A motor. I've driven mine without filters for about a month, was heaps of fun, quiet quiet, NOISE!!!! But eventually the noise wore off and the older more sensible side of my brain said we are gonna get pinged for noise, so the stock intake went back in. I shift when it goes da da da, and since it won't rev any higher you can just pop the clutch and jam it in a new gear without lifting off the throttle corolla gearboxes are ch

I previously had the smaller 230ish mm discs on my EP91, totally fried them at a track day, had to go slow every second lap to let the brakes catch up. The discs turned blue and they didn't have any of the initial bite they used to have on the street. Even after a few weeks of regular commuting didn't improve inital bite. I then put in the turbo sized rotors 250ish mm and calipers with some street/track BLAKE pads I got from yahoo auctions, next track day I could stop as much as I liked till the tyres went all gooey Still had to do cool down laps!! Although pad fade isn't an issue anymore,

Oh, you could use that too

That would be a FWD Corolla that has the gearbox you want.

Was going to go the alloy trumpets that I had gotten from yahoojp auctions (I love auctions.yahoo.jp, although my wallet doesn't ) Pics of said sexy trumpets in my rides thread. http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7040 But the race shop that I was going to get sock filters was closed before race day, so I ended up putting the factory air surge tank back on. It got a generic k&n jammed into the end of it just so it wasn't sucking unfiltered air. Job finished go racing.... I've had a thought, and redoing the air surge tank is a right pita, so I'll stick with what T

You could use the AW11 gearbox, as essentially it's the same gearbox found behind 4AGE when fitted to AE82 Corollas. But they have a different linkage setup so the shift cables are on the front of the gearbox, better suited to the mid layout of the MR2. You could get the correct linkage and convert a AW11 box. But there is no point as Corolla gearboxes are quite common, well they are in Australia. MR2 gearboxes however aren't, so I were you, I'd sell/swap the MR2 box for a Corolla one. In short, it'll bolt up, but your linkages are on the wrong side, so your shift cables won't reach. You

You probably want to use the Corolla type C series box, as the shift linkages are already set up for fwd, Otherwise you'll have to muck around and convert your mr2 stuff. Physically they are the same, so long as you are talking about the NA AW11. The supercharged gearbox is a much beefier beast. I ended up using a 1999 Corolla c52 gearbox with a 4.06 diff ratio. I used this box as it already has the holes drilled and tapped like a Starlet gearbox to suit the front left gearbox mount. I could really use a 4.3 as most roads are too short to really get up it (2nd goes to 115kmh)

They are Cusco Zero2's, they have about 65mm total travel, 5 damper settings, 6k front, 4k rear, they ride pretty good for a all out coilover. I'd like some bilstiens for daily duties, but thats more money.... I know a smaller size wheel is probably more fitting for a Starlet, but they were kinda cheap, and they look awesome. They are Magline something or others in a 17 x 7 wearing Toyo T1-R in a 205/40/17, haven't really reached the limits of these yet as I haven't driven it too hard yet. I'd like to lower it more but that will have to wait till I get a panhard rod. I scored a EP82 front str

Hi kids My names Dan, I wreck Toyotas for a living, so it was only fitting that I create a vehicle to showcase some of my "talents" This all started in February this year when my AE86 sporting a 4A-GZE decided to catch a cold and miss and splutter constantly, not being able to chase down the problem, and with my spare car on loan to my girlfriend (she's got a EP82 GT, engine was dead at the time) I bought a EP91 to run around in. A boring Australian spec Starlet, no power anything, unpainted bumpers, not even hubcaps. Looked like this, yes the stickers came with it. I find out my mates ar
