shorty

Talk to iddy dude as his reps come with the rep water shield failing that ill draw up how it used to go on when i had mine so you can make one, not alot too em tbh and no idea why wallace is jelly, he has my old one haha!

ah man I've missed all of this! bad times sparkster still plenty more engines about get a beast of a forged in there. animal gt is selling his engine atm!

i actualy dont know what to write! dave was a legend, spoke to him on many an occasion and met him a few times too always there when you needed advice. thoughts are with darren and the family. the starlet scene will not be the same without you, rest in peace dave.

True the grip is awesome over fwd! Na scoops from lee whos breaking the 323gt at the mo. Needs some sanding and filling to make it fit perfect because im fussy lol, but fits quite well for a fibreglass part.

Yea ill bung up a step by step with pics and measurements ect when we do it And thats why the 4wd arnt as common mike, the modding takes twice as long as a gt or glanza haha but is well worth it in the end. I've fitted my old TC shortshifter kit, and finaly managed to get hold of a reverse scoop wich is on now too. And will be collecting somthing awesome in the next few weeks

What do you class as big power cars dean? Tbh i realy think the the punto's will struggle, big power starlets or not.

Dont be sorry bud, if you cant ask on a forum then where can you ask every one needs to learn some where. 5e will use the same loom and plugs/sensors as a 4efe/4efte depending on if you are turboing it or not. If you are turboing it use a 4e head and inlet on the 5e bottom end and also time it in on the 4e marks not the 5e marks. If not turboing use full 5e engine and time in on 5e marks any thing else you need to know then just ask mate on a nother note, im about to stick my forged 4e from my old v in my 85 so i need to swap the sensor back to gt ones, when i do that ill pop the three you

As above cant stress how badly and quickly an engine can fail due to powdercoat peeling from inside, its very very deadly to an engine. A good powder coater should be aware of that though so if they do spray inside demand a refund and smack them round the head with your now useless rocker cover! Lol. On a side note I've got one a mate sprayed for me in accord midnight purple and 5 years later it still looks mint! Even though im about to sand it all down and respray it a different colour lol

Thats jam skirts and a jam rear bumper by the looks of it so even with a donor v you would need to buy different body parts dude. And i say just buy what you need, so a 4efte from where ever and a glanza loom and ecu, far cheaper then a donor that you dont even want over half the parts from. Isnt that much to be made from oem glanza parts thesedays only big spec'ed cars will make you good money as a breaker. Less hassle to just buy whats needed dude.

Lmfao!! They will honestly get thrashed to shit! Lol ill be up for it but only if i can race some of the bigger punto's tbh as the 85 will only be 4e but will be far to easy against the 1.4 puntos given the spec and the short ratio gearbox lol

yea is just a handful of sensors, well three to be prcise the issue you will have is the loom, it will be a mission and as theres no wiring digrams on either car you will have to strip down and trace each one first! its a job that will take days not hours, best bet is get a gt breaker keep the engine and then sell off loads of other bits and buy a glanza full engine loom and ecu as it will be a far eaiser job then as its just a swap over.

as above mate, if you cant trust the mods/admin and the traders then you cant trust anyone. they are all trustworthy chaps

Tm-developments and tuning developments both sell them as far as i know

Me and turbo grant will be up for this id of thought, so long as some one who live near will look after a car for us if the dreaded happens and one breaks down (socks or steve gt ) as its a fair trek from southampton lol either day is good for me

Id recomend it mate. The powerflex engine bushes made a masive noticable difference on my V! Highly recomend it mate.

Wheres the sparkdogs post!! Is he not want to thrashed on track??

Compression test will help shed some light, plus maybe a full gas test buy a decent garage as it will show where the leak is ie, rings, valves, valve stems ect is a far more indepth check than the compression test. How long ago did you buy the engine? Id want a refund or money towards repairs tbh if it was only a little while ago, that said its unlikley anyone would do that as its a second hand engine and theres no way to prove you havnt cuased it due to driving hard ect.

Yea rings or maybe valve stemseals my forged lump uses no more oil than any normal engine.

Post 133 form gaz's build thread "fitted a whiteline panhard rod which we had to cut down and tube the inside and re-weld with 95mm cut out of it" Looks like gaz did exactly what im about to do, only way is going to be a custom job mike

You polybushed all the engine mounts dude??

Whats happening with her now rich? She getting there yet?

Get a new thread up tomorrow with some more info, maybe like a link to the map of the tracks your looking at? Im sure there will be loads of interest tbh

I think we have slightly crossed wires mike, its the rear where the issues are, the front as all aligned but the rear is out. Im basicaly going to cut down the RS*R one i have and reweld the adjuster tops further down. Gaz prob altered the oem one or did the same and cut down an aftermarket one. The 4wd is all a bit new to me tbh but starlet tuning isnt so ill find away round it sum how and ill take plenty of photos and measurements for you to referance dude im going to have a reread of gaz's build too just to see if he did fab some thing up.

Looks tidy mate whats the specs?

Cheers lads he's got it off now i saw him the otherday and he said hes all good now.
