OK so august last year i gave my missis 4 grand whilst i was away to buy me a starlet. After the week i was away i got home to find the below car pulled up at my workplace waiting for me.. I was well chuffed. Pics from the showroom where the missis got it from So i had a new car well after 4 days it seems my luck started to fail me. The starlet died with serious smoking problem and missfiring bad. So the fun baecame and i started to strip it we had an idea what the problem was so we began to strip the starlet. When stripping the starlet we noticed the car was full of tie raps. But there was no need for most it just ssilly brackets missing or boilts missing. Once the engine was striped my suspicions were confirmed i had killed a piston (due to running 1 bar with no fueling mods and boost cut.... I brought it like this and didnt know So i began ordering from toytuning. Full engine gasket set Ross racing 74.5mm pistones Forged Scat Rods 1.4mm Cruize head gasket new cambelt oil filter(s) Petrol Filter New ball joint New CV Boots Magnetic sump plug new big ends New mains Then the actual work on my engine started Had all the bores redone new shims face ground head skimmed both bathed. then we put it back to gether after die drinding the bottom of the bores to take the new rods. So we got it all back to gether to find the oil scrappers were knackered. So order a second set of Ross rings and began building again Pics from first attempot with shit oil scrappers then it was back together again finallyit took nearly 7 months most of which was waiting on parts and engine work to be done lol.. how she stands at present Only downside is how noisey the clutch is but ah well shit happens Spec as it stamds Engine : Forged ross racing pistones 74.5mm, Forged scat rods, new big end and main shells, new shims, 1.4mm cruize layered metal headgasket, HKS actuator, WEPR FMIC, cone filter located behind bumper, ORC 309 Clutch, NGK Iridium Plugs, Magnacor leads, Blitz DV, Oil catch can, Decat, Blitz Nur Spec Exhaust.
