  1. Lol nice mike i realy hope it dosent snow where i am as ill be anoyed the 85 will miss it why its laid up!
  2. Obx 5e manis on ebay.com from the u.s pop up now and then. is a few ebay shops in the us that stock obx parts ;)
  3. But to much retarded timing will lose power too! Mapping is a skill, like any skill it can be learned and like anything there are thoses who are awesome and thoese who arnt! somtimes it pays to try a few.
  4. Cheers dude ;) and you know theres always a passenger ride waiting for you when shes done. i binned the engine it was sat out the front of the house and a scrap pikey nocked the same day it was due to come out so told him he could come back and bin it the following day! Got the injectors, ecu, inlet and exhuast still though ;) Shud be BIG updates in the comming weeks
  5. What he said ^^^^ I quized grant bout mine as the ep85 is the same dude. im binning it and useng oem gt gear ;) grants the man baby!!!
  6. Rubish man!! Head off is half the engine out already!! Your talking 2-3hours tops from that to take the engine out! I've had engines in and out of starlets so many times its common palce for me now haha. if you brake jeff because you cant be arsed to take the engine out then a.) i will slap you with a wet fish! (and dont think i wont) and b.) do you think stripping the car would be less hassle? Parts dont just fall off lol and the engine would then need to come out any way thus contardicting the very reason you justified braking the car!! Ironic eh?
  7. Thats what mine was too but a sudden rush of boost leavin the two faces via the space provided by the streching head bolts is plenty of potential for warping can be fixed though. You know starlets si, if it can happen it always does lol. Leave it a few days then wrap up warm and crack out the tools dont let jeff down! Hes come too far now
  8. Si mate i hate to be the bearer of bad news but after a hg fail its best to check the block face too. as the block may need a mild decking too this is why my whole engine was in bits a year or so ago. whip the head off and get it checked n maybe reskimmed you maybe ok. also while the head is off check the block face for level. I've not heard of an athena gasket failing so is more than likly deformation of a surface. chin up bro shes a beast!!! Dont give up when your so close! You will regret it and then just come back and start again with another starlet haha we all do! Persevre mate!!
  9. Ebc discs with yellow stuff or mitex 1144 pads ;)
  10. I bet, im the same. cant wait to see what boosted 4paw is like how much power you expecting?
  11. Better lines? Or live with the drip mate lol
  12. yea the stand was tucked away dont they know who we are haha!
  13. im not sure tbh, i dont run of the shelf rods dude. i dont think the other rods will give issues tbh. try having a word with the tunig developments or east coast customs lads they have vast knowllage in the 5e forged engines.
  14. im sure there was a big debat on tgtt about forged rods from lesserknown brands, tbh if the treating is the same process then cant go wrong ;) i dont know anyone using them though
  15. id say they are the same too dude ;) they use the same grade and traetment so cant realy go wrong. with people like scat you pay for the fact they are tried and tested and the name of the brand.
  16. you did inded ;) 20-25mm on the fronts with -1°/-1.2° camber is fookin awesome even more so on an lsd box!!! Nomnomnom haha best way to make a fwd starlet handle imo
  17. Link to what belts you used please as grants is 5e so saves the same thing maybe happening for tje sake of a £10 bely ;)
  18. Come on guys! Bought my cage off ian he's a legend! Buy his parts............Now! Lol
  19. Cant say fairer than that ;) for the benifit of the 4paw boys if you are using the 4paw alternator then your alternator pully dosnt fit the shaft and will need drilling out to match the thicker shaft. you could use a gt/v alternator but the 4paw one is far more manly so id advise using it. this is merly a helpful pointer and tbh james could not of forseen that atal without owening a 4wd starlet :-)
  20. Is it off a k26 or a fuel rail adaptor? Isnt too clear from that pic mate
  21. Ebay.com or a hose specialist like hyphose or pirtek ;)
  22. Ill be there as will grant, my little bro and my cuz! Can some one add to the list please
  23. Grants green gt was stripped when pukka performance ran it but hes ditched more bits and saved even more weight! If your going hard core then you can lose crazy weight. i personaly like my comforts so i just add more power instead to compensate haha
  24. Haha ill just nudge you into a bush ;) we need to get back on it! I have never cried with laughter sooo much in my life!!!
