  1. How much would you like for it! If you can get the most of it out intact, Mainly over the driver / front that would be perfect! PM me a price delivered and will have a think. At the moment i'm between jsut getting a cage and getting this as a quick fix!
  2. Does anyone who has stripped their Starlet still have the original headlining with the metal bars? I removed mine but the regs now state it has to stay! Doh!
  3. Anyone have one available for sale? 6 Point EP91 Cage, I made the mistake of removing the had lining not thinking it would be classed as 'Trim'. Which now means I have to run a full cage to be able to enter the Toyota Sprint Series! Doh!
  4. I think so! Have asked Fensport for a price on a 6 point, not sure it'll arrive in time though!
  5. Yeah, I always planned to get one. But just not in time for the first event. Guess that's hurried that along!
  6. Yeah! It seems it for the starlet, because i'd consider it more dangerous! The stock head lining in the starlet has sharp metal poles across it. But in something like the yaris or corolla its considered a safety thing as its soft padded card! ANd instead of having separate rules for every car. Blanket rule of no cage = stock head lining. I think my only obvious choice is to fit a 6 point roll cage. But at £600+ eeeks! But then its safety in mind too.
  7. Yeah that's the difficult thing, has to be stock! So can't even bodge it with plastic sheet or new fabric! And I don't know of anyway / anyone who's gonna be able to get stock headlining out without damaging it!
  8. Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try the stock air box again with a decent panel filter. However I kinda have a bigger problem! Found out I made a bit of a big boo boo today! I removed the head lining as it gave me about 1 inch extra head room with a helmet! However this means I have to now run a 6 point cage to compete! I didn't think it would be considered and 'Interior Trim around the driver' but its because they have a blanket rule on all cars and as some cars offer a lot more protection than others. The fact the starlet head lining is literally just thin cotton, make
  9. I am after the head lining from an EP91 SR. I took mine out as it was all ripped and damaged, but I need it for the championship class that I am in If anyone has one or lose to one that would be handy! Even if its a bit tatty.
  10. Yeah! I don't even have that on my 320hp GT86! Do you think that size pipe might be half the problem with the low range torque? I have no put another silencer in and reduced the size of the exit. So should help build a bit more pressure!
  11. Will do this next, just seemed like bit of a PITA job working round the back of the engine. And its been too cold and wet to want to tackle that! Yeah, i'm decat 2.75" straight through with resonator and silencer. Also got a cone filter. I wonder if the lack of back pressure and additional breathing has just moved the torque curve higher up the rev range. Yeah we can run any ecu and mapping is free in the Pro Class as long as it doesn't involve Boost! I might try putting the stock air intake back on and see if that makes any difference.
  12. I've just had a look and opening up the exhaust can move the torque and power band. So I imagine we've moved the power band up past 4k as it does seem a lot better further on.
  13. I havn't got the corolla manifold on yet. Engine wise pretty stock. Cone Air Filter and Exhaust is only main change. I'm not sure if it is sluggish or the noise just makes it feel like it should be going faster!
  14. Had the day driving round in it yesterday! Can report it worked faultlessly! Once i'd got it started due to a totally dead battery. Done around 150 miles and gave it all sorts of driving. Only thing to come out of the day really was that it's too damn loud! It's fully stripped so will obviously always be loud! But the exhaust was insane. So this morning i've fitted an additional rear resonator and a exhaust bung with some stainless steel wire wool trick. And hey ho its much better! Only other things I found was it seems quite sluggish between 2 - 4k rpm. Could this be due t
  15. I do some freelance work for Fensport so that makes it easier to get some stuff done Also they've always been the only people I trusted with my GT86 so kinda just felt like i'd continue that tradition with the starlet. Let me know if you're about. It's insured for the Saturday and Sunday morning.
  16. Just took out some insurance so will be driving it around this weekend. Thought i'd better drive it about for some miles before attempting to drive the 2 and half hours up to Fensport! So if there any bits that are going to fall off it, can fall off close to home! Should be a laugh! Anyone around the norwich area on Saturday want a meet up. Give us a shout!
  17. Ahh okay. Thanks, guess that'll be in the door shut somewhere?
  18. Does anyone know what the official colour of my Starlet is? Trying to buy a can of spray paint for it. Seems to be a few silvers? Photo in the first page.
  19. I have an older one but no recent ones with the supercharger fitted and new manifold. But does make me realise I need to get one! But it sounds mean! Yeah Fensport are fantastic! They've done all the mapping, work and supplied most the parts! Can't fault them and always happy to help. They also run the Toyota Sprint Series which is a superb race series! Starlet will be very different! Stripped and race focused! Hopefull! Cobra are very good, never had a problem with my system and it sounds fantastic!
  20. Cost and fabrication work to fit one gets on for the cost of just forging the FA20. And we benefit from the newer injection system. Problem with any engine swap is the ecu to control it. Motec is £1k on its own before you get any mapping or sensor work. And then you lose things like AC, climate control etc. Forging the FA20 isn't mega money. And should be able to take 500 - 600hp easilly.
  21. Yeah, we did ok on the 'base spec' model as we got all the extras like climate control, AC, Keyless, HIDs etc. Which were all optional extras in Japan. But now we do have a 'Primo' model which is slightly cheaper with no extras. No plaque or anything. You do on the limited edition Yellow Ones and the New 'Blanco' Edition. You get a #/86 plaque. But they charge you nearly 8K for the privelage over a stock one! Yeah we'll try keep this thread starlet and the other 86 stuff! I have to be careful to treat both equally! lol I managed to get a steal on the tyres. 4 part worn on 3 track day
  22. Due to popular demand. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/99453-4efejays-supercharged-gt86-build-pic-heavy/ I've done a basic summary of everything in there. Pretty much picture based of the story from Pick up to now. Hope it's not too much of a boring read for everyone!
  23. Due to popular demand on my Progress blog for my Starlet here is my build thread and info on my GT86. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/98169-4efejays-ep91-sprint-project/ It started off life as a standard GT86 in red with the optional Red Assent Interior in December 2012. Finally I could pick it up after a 3 month long wait for it to be imported from Japan. I ordered it before there was any major red cars in the UK. I always bought it to be a daily car. And was never really into modifying cars. This was my first main car other than a clio or a daily diesel which was going to be f
