What precise mods did you do that helped the most?

A cooperative gearbox and some stickier tyres would make this car a heck of a lot more fun on the track! But this is all on hold due to COVID.

UPDATE time, or lack of.. In August/Sept I was over in Europe/UK for a holiday, oh what an experience! Miss it everyday. Right now the car is doing exactly what I bought it for, daily duties. I do have a LSD gearbox that I'm waiting to get checked out before I use it. I can't imagine parts for this if the box isn't good will be easy to get here.. so I'm not sure what I'll do. The current box has a very very sad third gear. Whilst I'm waiting for the gearbox to be checked out, I did remove the charcoal canister and pop a uni flow valve in its place. I have an idea that in it's place,

I have the vac port on inlet side going to my EBC, and then the vac port that is tucked away, I've blocked it off. But I have read people leave it unblocked

Hey man, where did you get the plugs that connect to factory ECU wiring plugs? When I go the Link route, I'd like to do that so I can always go back to factory ECU if need be.

Bump, got it sorted. Feel a bit silly asking as it was actually really easy once I figured it out. I had it originally wired up well wrong, but we're rocking now

Completely understand that, but for now I'd like to make sure I've got the vac wiring correct before doing anything else. EDIT: I also want to make sure it's not free boosting. Worst case I can get my mechanic to check over it too

Hey guys, I've installed a Gizzmo EBC to stop the over boosting I am getting now that my EP91 has a 2.5" exhaust. Question is, on the stock wastegate actuator it looks like there's two vac lines, I've connected the EBC to the vac port that's on the actuator itself. What do I do with the second line? I assume I just block it off. Cheers!

Wow, a month later I'm sick AGAIN, not a good time of the year for me.. Anyway, on Saturday I took her out for her second trackday, however I only did two sessions before having to stop because I was getting too unwell The car performed admirably, the starlet went into lip mode on the first lap and would then only hit .5 bar of boost, shit it was close. I suspect since the 2.5" exhaust it's boost creep and cutting out. Here's some pics:

That idles so well, I'm jealous!

Good spotting.. I think this idea may be down the drain. The seller has none of those parts, nor the drive shafts

Cheers dude! I did realise the drive shafts are different, but did not realise they may be next to impossible to find here.

Spotted this when looking for a gearbox replacement: Does it look like it has an LSD? Cheers!

Nice one!

This forum need a like button, that 2Z sounds great!

Aw man I'd like to have a rear wing like that.. and paint like that. Keep up the work!

Welcome! That's one clean looking Starlet you have there Best to check yourself as I am not 100% sure, but Engine should be around 3.2L (at least my EFTE took that much) and the gearbox (Manual) is around 2L Hopefully this link works for you: http://www.datateck.com.au/lube/CastrolRetailNzl/ I haven't personally replaced the gearbox oil myself, but for the engine oil, I get a 4L bottle of Castrol Magnetec and after dropping the oil and changing the filter, add 2L in and then start checking the dip stick. You don't want to be over filling the engine with oil.

How much are you thinking of letting them go for buddy?

I got bored whilst on sick leave and threw a giant pod filter on

Do you mind messaging me some photos? I'm not sure what they look like. Cheers!

Would they be worth shipping across the globe though?

Probably a little late now.. but I own a 2002 blob eye WRX (non-sti) that's been modded with the following: -VF30 (replaced the factory TD04HL) - STi Pink injectors - STi intercooler Full dyno tune. I bought this car knowing it had far too many owners before me (5+) but I took the gamble and got quite lucky. I'd say it really depends on the service history + how the car has been treated. I'd put a lot of love into my Scooby and have quite a reliable and very fun car to drive. In New Zealand, we get the JDM imports, so they'er all tuned for 100+ RON petrol

Anyone know if you can still get aftermarket pedal covers for Starlets? I know AliExpress sell cheap, generic ones, but I thought I'd ask on here for before shelling out a few $$

Hey guys, I'll be making the journey from New Zealand to England in August for about 6 weeks, 3 of them will be on a tour around Europe and I was wondering if there would be any Trackdays/Evetns UKSO would be going to? It would be great to see some of these clean Starlets I keep seeing here Cheers!

Full: https://imgur.com/8PpY3gJ Wheels are finally on! They aren't perfect, but close enough. I took the car back to get it's WoF, but it failed once again due to the ABS light not working. Thankfully it was just a blown bulb. It desperately needs a wheel alignment and then I can look at what I want to do next.
