Front VW Jetta coilovers and rear oem springs and Kyb Excel-G gas shocks. Small gastank and tools only, other interior stripped. Hate this, and one round cutted rearsprings are not a choice, tested, didn't go lower and few times dropped Should by some cheap loweringspring set, but maybe don't work with too light rear, waste of money...
-
Do I need rear coilovers also, so 80's stance, should I lower front more
-
Making my on adjustable panhard. Very curious to know what would be some basic length to target. If maybe -50mm/2" dropped, is that 2,5cm/1" shorter or how much. Can calculate myself some day when I add coilovers, but would be easier if there is some basic formula for that ? I'm doing EP91 axle to EP70. Upper panhard is from 7 and lower from 9, 10mm difference, also axle is 10mm wider each side, so that why factory has made it shorter.

Some cluster idea picture...

Nice wheels and fitment, sad that no grip with 165
-
Thanks for link That ignition is from 2E carburator engine, 1E have coil outside.
-
My 1E with 2E ignition, with fueltank test New engine don't solve signal problem to tacho. And 1E engine have poor adjustable contactor ignition system, very common swap is changing 2E ignition with built in coil, works much better and no need for adjust connector or what is right english word for that? Both ignition systems have plug for tacho, but shows sometimes wrong values in some tachos, weird...

Trying to find aftermarket or oem front fenders or wings to my small bumper EP70. So what search words or synonyms to use on google or ebay? Very rare parts to find and wanna buy few extra for future, everything else also. Only few aftermarket parts found by far, few rear fenders repair parts and valances. Klokkerholm is most famous partmaker and no available here, maybe other brands have made those, names? I live in Finland and our front fender finnish words are FRONT - etulokari - etulokasuoja - etusiipi - loksu "Etu" means front, if adding "taka" it means rear.

Ment to say that ignition swap works, but tacho not so well.
-
Noticed same problem on my P7, low rev :/ I'm using oem GTi Corolla tacho. Have to change injection engine, same worked fine in 5E-FTE combo, one more reason to do it I'm having too low revs in all area I think, and slow responce. I have changed 2E engine ignintion system and it didn't work well on 1E. Haven' t got time to solve that, curious to hear what needed in carburator engines.

Hah, that why RHD didn't have inside picture, horrible -
Kyb Excel-G gas shocks for EP70 have seen 30/piece, works and fit also to P8/P9 models. With oem springs and light arse horrible to drive without any extra weight, too stiff.
-
Maybe peak power can take 500hp, but block will not last long. You better move at least 4A-GTE transplant. Roadcar and quartermile cars so different world, 500hp fwd is very slippery on normal tarmac, too much...

Probably Honda radiator, never seen for Starlet straight. I'm gona do later own small custom, turbo systems first so can see how much room is left. Maybe even remounted turbo on top of gearbox.
-
So shiny, looks good. Catchcan tank for turbo setup or just for fun? Plenty of room to do things, no powersteering or aircon. Intresting radiator, so small outside, Honda radiator? That exhaust fits very nicely, is that by the way 4-2-1 or 4-1 header. Just tested one 4A-FE header, not so fast job to modify, maybe later, if have time.
-
And then exhaust, cast iron or welded steel?
-
Cast vs tubular.
-
4E-FE intake and tb and bigger 4E-FTE tb, perfect fit mod.
-
Wide range torquing tubular intake or higher reving powerfull turbo intake. And these are just temporaly this summer testings.
-
Same time messing with intakes and tb's, which n/a combo should I do for 4E-FE
-
Tooked donation cars panhard away and maybe cut ends away. Then new bar and adjuster between. So rusty panhard, have to think if EP91 U-shape shit panhard must destroy if needed, to get ends. Body ends are same on both, but axle end bushing system is different. And what length panhard should I do, hard to calculate without proper coilovers, man should know riding height first :/

Old school VHT is always good choice, failed many times with spray Hammerite and caliber paints. Even brakes normal 2K paint is best. Have powercoated brakes and valvecovers, that is first very cool, but when crackin starts, it's a nightmare.

Or should I try to do this 4A-FE 4-2-1 exhaust, so close, needs new flange.

Finland have it years 97-98 I think, don't know rest of the world
