shorty

Haha goldenvtr you blast from the past you!! Good to see you on here dude so glad you have dusted off the gt! She seems to be running well. sic vids mate. and dont be a stranger on here. is a real warm and friendly site ;) and marc's car looked lovley! Was a shame we didnt have more time to have a beer as we both seemed to be all over the show lol. jae is beer show

Awesome progress dude!!! You did say updates where coming ;) keep up the good work.

Isnt too bad on dans car tbh. is all cosmetic and after a bit of a slow start we all got home good in the cars. dans got footage of the spin though so look out for that bring on fest two!!!

Buy it off me dude then he can butcher your oem one ;)

Look on the engine plate of your ep95 dude

Just got bk lol waited till the very end as couldnt be arsed with the que to leave lol. im soooooo burnt!! Was an awesome turn out and a wicked day. was good to catch up with a few people and get my hug from socks lol. just wish i had made it in the starlet

After owning both dude id say keep the gt. is lighter and more nimble. Maybe drive a v first to see what you think. more modern shape but defo more common imo.

Lol i loved em on my v but not on my 85 lol volk splits ftw haha

Has it been two years already!! Bloody hell! And shit sorry dude ill txt pics asap! I've been livin at the mrs house while her rents are away. i completly forgot to take em tbh. ill sort it for ya ;)

Lol i could push the 85 but fest will be well over by the time i arrive haha. just gonna jetwash the levin, hoover it out and bam all ready to go

Glad you brought that up russ. hows yours coming dude? Has all gone a bit quiet on you thread still stocking up?

Ah crap!! I've defo gotta beat you! You have moved house and every thing I've got no excusses realy lol

Spool. thats about it realy. But once its running nothing says you cant forge later. but if you can id forge first. even if it takes a year to build. atleast it hasnt gotta come out again and then you gain alot more than spool too.

And my abaris bucket seat haha ;) what can i say my mums a legend!! Tbh for 10years shes been waching various carparts come and go through her lounge lol the secret is to ask nicley and not make mess grants rents are legends too. Hes got a full on rally tent in the front garden and at one point my v being slowly broken for parts too lol

Just need to give it to ya to repress the new one on. and dont know what you mean she loves the forged engine in the lounge!! I swear over the 7years + I've been playing with starlets she must of had an engine in the lounge for over a year collectivly haha. gotta love mums eh?

Wont know till your mapping. some lads have run 1000cc on starlets so who knows lol is all down to a map at the end of the day.

Lol first mod................manual to auto conversion ;) lol sweet ass v!! Always has been hope it always will be!! So glad shes always stayed on the scene!

Thats the thing not many people think of it like that till its put a bit more black and white! insurance doesnt just cover your arse it covers other road users too!! And just to rub salt in it my old v was 730 fully comp and if you have seen my build thread on it it was insanley modded. and yes everything declared even the specifics of the internals of the engine! My ep 85 is 100 quid more though with less mods but not many less ;) insurace companys do need to wise up tbh. yes a starlet has potential and yes they are quick but when you can insure modded skylines and supras for less surley s

Have you tried some of the smaller companys in the back of banzi?? the lesser heard of companys can give some of the better prices. Try limiting you milage as low as you think you can realisticly use as that can help ;)

You better hope you dont stack it if your not to declare the swap as your car wont be covered!! No offence but its lads like you who get cuaght out by the system who the drive insurance prices up!!! You are basicaly driving uninsured every where you go!. But hey who cares if you kill some one or destroy there pride and joy when you smash into it at speed. you have a sleeper on the cheap maybe its because im old but i can never EVER remeber insuring a car i didnt declare the mods on. and if it was too expensive i didnt mod it!! Your not insuring you shiney crap under the bonnet your insuring

Ok cool ill pm him too bud as i think we need a clear answer as to what the effects are from the two different clearences. as the jdm would be the sensible bet but i want to know now if theres a reason some are using 5efe and if they are just mistaken or know something we dont. Edit: both texx and 350ep70r have been pm'd to get more input as to why/what the ill efects could be or if theres a benifit at all. ill post up as soon as i get a reply guys ;)

Hmmmmmm. fist i appolagise. as im not afraid to admit when im in the wrong. i would guess that running the 5efe specs is going to cuase premature closing of the valves and take away power from all over the rev range. Im gonna pm chris and get some input for this thread. as im now curious as to why he builds to 5efe shim tollerence. id also like to know wich will give the best results.

Lol cool. you worried me for a moment there ;)

Intake 15-25mm exhuast 31-41mm this is taken from chris over on tgtt he made the 4efte engine assembley videos and has been building forged engines in greece for longer than most have known about starlets. these are the tollerences my engine is shimmed to as are many many others.

Except on ARP!!! No90° turn dude just stop at 60ft/lb. Like i say can recheck torque after 10cycles if you wish. but no 90° degree turn is used with an arp bolt/stud set!
