Quick Fiesta update, Car is now in the final stages of the build!! Its on the ground with the engine in just finishing the wiring for the new ecu, Bled all the brakes and clutch on thursday night, fitted green stuff front pads and finished off wire routing. A few pics before it gets started. Also quick pic of astra sticker before it dissapears lol More updates soon Cheers Gary

welcome bud Gary

Spotted it on the road passing through the broughty ferry lights, I was heading out to arbroath way and say it going into Dundee. I'm sure it used to be a boy named Brian but think he sold it. Had a White lip around the wheels Gary

Nice update Liam, Is it an adjustable one? Gary

Welcome Shafz, Nice looking starlet and low milage which is a bonus. Mods sound good, good luck with it all and look forward to updates Gary

Looks good buddy, Looking forward to more updates Gary

Welcome mate Gary

Updates soon Fiesta engine in and almost running Tigra sold Astra away to be stripped New project, mk1 red top nova Plans are a extensivelly tuned 2.1 twin cam with nos, mailny for knockhill and frail Cheers Gary

Well done Good luck with your practical test Gary

Also tried to pm you mate but it's still full Cheers Gary

Well done bud, Hopefully you get a test booked ok with not a long waiting list. Gary

Don't think you can take a pick up from that box, it's just for diagnostics. Take it from the distributor Gary

yes it was a mc_chu lip then some one in Ireland bought it but can't remember who. I bought it from them still brand new but I never fitted it. Then Idrees got it from me for tayyib, And now it's yours lol Finally someone fitted it lol Gary

By diagnostic box do you mean the black box used to extract trouble codes? I'm not sure if you can take a rev pick up from there, I took mines of the distributor but had to use a toyota manual to find out what wire to use Gary

Nice GT bud, Welcome to the club aswel Gary

Welcome mate, Nice GT you got there, Enjoy you stay Gary

Also a set of lightweight pulleys on there That help to Gary

Every little bit of weight saved helps in my eyes, I don't have aircon, electric windows, sunroof, or electric mirrors so it's already quite light with a stripped interior. If the crankshaft doesn't have to drive the steering pump it's bound to make a difference to the revs etc, as it's more free reving with one less thing to drive or am I wrong? A good saying I heard was: to add speed add lightness Gary

Those recaros are amazing, really clean Cars looking sweet all over just now Great work keep it up Gary

Welcome along Gary

It would be easier to fit a sandwich plate with the pump out the way bit the engine will be out when doing that so it won't be that hard, Also its not a daily driver, yes it will still be on the road but I have other transport for day to day driving, the car will only be for good weather, car meets/runs etc bit not everyday driving as I don't want to all that time cleaning it up just to wreck it driving everyday ad I do a lot of miles everyday/week Thanks for opinions guys Gary

Was sitting thinking today of ideas for the rebuild, What at the benefits of removing the power steering? Is there much weight saved? What about any other advantages? What model of starlet comes without power steering? As I would have to get a new rack, as It fails MOT if there is a power rack and it doesn't work Thanks guys Gary

That rear lip sure has been around lol, 5th owner and it's still brand new lol. Looks sweet as, nice job Can't wait for more updates. Gary

Did you put the jiggle valve on the thermostat facing up? Could be an airlock there if it's not right, Gary

Just registered with them earlier, looks nice Gary
