Lol wish id of seen this thread sooner. is one round the corner from me. exactly the same as this and is FWD lol

They are good in a 4wd style enviroment tbh as i took mine greenlaning alot with turbo_grant. was wicked fun but i would say check the insurance first. as if its insured properly then they arnt actualy very cheap to insure as they are a rare import of unknown background to an insurer and then chuck in an engine conversion amd the fact that premium increase on a modified car is based on how much power over standard you have raised it by oem 4paw s model is 100hp so just an engine transplant is a 33hp gain straght away. not so cheap as youd think to insure. Dont get me wrong i dont want to put you off just think people see 4paws as a supper grippy monster starlet. and theres alot more to it. parts arnt all the same as the other starlets either and are bastard expensive from toyota

My Boost is all over the shop, whats causing this?

Ah makes more sense lol so around 210fly. sounds more like it ;) bin off the forge and see how oem with ebc goes dude -
I loved both my v's and also my ep85. It all depends what your after tbh as the short ratio box anoyes the shit out of me! It revs its tits off at 80mph in 5th yes you could change all the ratios but its an expensive mod and isnt as simple as people think (you cant just bug gt gears in) my 4paw is a track car basicaly its not realy a parctical daily if you use motorways much. id settle for my v back if i was after a usable reliable(ish) fast car but as im an old man i am luckiy enough to have silly cheap insurace so have an import pop to the shops car, a 4paw track car and a works van lol

I've always found forge gear to be expensive and naff tbh. id run oem actuator and a decent ebc as they help to stabalise boost anyway bud. id also check for any minor boost leaks as at 1bar id of expected abit more than 170hp mate. -
I love WEPR and as sacha knows I've run various setups over the years only once did i not use his kit and after that time I've never gone else where. his service is fantastic and his manifolds are faultless imo. his results and time in the starlet scene speak for themselves. there is no substitute for WEPR! Rickys gear looks awesome and i have personly never used it i have only ever heard good things but due to the lack of issues and faultless service i can honestly say its WEPR every time for me now. in all honesty i think more than anything it will boil down to personal preferance and of corse price as after all its a big factor when building a car. Either trader is a good choice. and as you can see both know there stuff atbout are wee cars.

Bump for awesome gt. seen this car many times barretta has spared no expense!!!
-
Tempted. post a pic. is it in tank or external pump? Does it include or need a swerl pot?

Bad times. you can buy under dash arials wich means you can bin the oem. but its some thing you need to research tbh

I used to just pull it out around 6 inches. worked fine like that. just because its crazy long dosnt mean it needs to be so far out lol

Dude thats alot of hassle right there! Id of had trading standards down that garage asap and viseted ragz for my cash back too!! Best bet is forged pistons and bore the block to remove the scores. 74.5mm should be ok if its not too deep. if it is then 75mm pistons maybe? Iddy has a gb on forged rods atm and is doing 5e ones in the gb. just gather bits over time maybe. Feel for you dude. i trust very few people on my car tbh. only a few garages i will take it too and its only becauel i know them on a personal level -
Its starting to bug me that when using a phone and trying to pm the message box appears at the bottom of the persons info page. the touch keypad on a phone then covers the message box so i end up writing blind can this be changed atal? I prefered being taken to a new page for pm'ing on the old software. and i currently try to avoid pm'ing at all costs due to it being such a mission!!! Cheers and other than that the newlook software seems awesome.

Press the hazerd light switch vigorusly on then off as if you have used it recently it could be stuck slightly. its a common issue with the hazzard/indicator system

Prob not. Its all differs from wich rails you have as to the amount of welding. its all trial and error. wait till ya have em then go from there.
