shorty

haha harry said you would try and have the rails by the time you guys where home. glad your happy with your purchase bud. tbh its breaking my damn heart stripping this car grants right yesterday was a sad day, said good bye to the wings and the bonnet in the same day still gonna look the tits on yours dude, only one thing missing now 'cough' cage 'cough'

That is crazy money on insurance tbh! Either way, WEPR all the way! Cant fualt them in any way, im on my second kit from sacha (i change turbo kits like most people change alloys/tyres lol) and have had plenty of other makes, WEPR quality is awesome! Also fit the kit your self its not hard and the money you save on labour will by your ecu ("cough" like the 2 week old dastek im selling for £300 "cough")

i used to run ferodo sport shoes on my mini rear drums, fantastic shoe tbh, i also ran alloy drums, its a cast alloy drum with alloy cooling fins on the housing for cooling benifits, and an iron band inside for the shoes to contact (as they would eat the alloy in mins) im not sure if the alloy drums are available but the ferodo shoes should be and they in them selves are a good upgrade from a stock shoe dude

Also looking for info on this what about rear diffs too? I know the engineers who can prob fab/mill/construct it all just not enough about how to build it!

whats the no power steering like gaz? is it much heavier with out it? would realy like to ditch it but dont want to regret doing it will be interesting to watch it over the next few moths its the king of the 4paws ;)

if you start again gaz and fancey a crazy full weld-in custom cage ect, ill have your current cage fo my 85 ;) lol think you should dump in an 4age, not enough of them around in starbo's tbh.

cool cheers bud, i may have to drop you a pm or to when the time comes if you dont mind, always good to have a "been there done that" person to call on in the event of an issue ;)

issues where three boost leaks sparky all of wich the mapper should have seen tbh, going AEM ecu now on the ep85 when shes ready and getting jdmodifed to map her this will be one of the last posts im afraid. please see the breaking section to by a peice of the awesome v! ;)

Haha, engine is staying in one piece ;) all part of the 300hp 4paw im seriously excited bout it now. Im stripping the v to bare shell in the next two three days, then hard sales push then pick out me ep85!!!

Haha, may have to if your gonna keep up on a track with me ed ;) i was gonna go 95 and keep the glanza shape but its not worth it as id end up not breaking my v haha and just buying a 95 so is no point. Think you should just stick with your v ed then you buy some of my parts!!

Cheers john i get the best of both worlds this way ;) no debts and a 4paw ep running big power! Gotta be done realy. Just sad to see the v go after the 5years of building her! still no debts is the key!

Well its actual an 82 engine that i swapped over into the v when it was first built up, since then its had a fair bit of work done over the years so im very keen to keep it tbh. So ill just swap the sensors back over to an 82 set up and buy my mates 82 loom if thats the best way. Do i deffo need the interior loom to or can you just use a front loom? Im a sparky so wires and stuff dont realy bother me. But i want to do the swap the quickest way tbh. Cheers for the guidance so far. And craig the dark side looks like the only side to be on ;)

right as some of you lads will hae seen im breaking the cruise kitted V. im holding back my big spec 4efte and the vf24 turbo kit and im gonna bang them on an ep85 and wind up the boost my question though guys is as im breaking the v i will have an ecu and looms ect but will i be better off using an ep82 loom and ecu for the conversion? its not a problem if the answer is yes as my mate is breaking an 82 atm so ill buy his if you think its better off that way. just figuered as i have em can i use em? i dont want an ep95 i dont think as ill be too tempted to keep the cruise front end and build

can get an idea of oil temp , engine temp, revs, oil starvation (even for split seconds while under hard turning), component wear, oil leakage, is by far the best guage you will add! every one should have one on a starlet as when the oil is getting low (around just under the half line) the oil starvasion round cornering is insane!!

A men to that! my oil presure guage is my best friend when giving it the right foot! can tell loads from what its showing! amjad if you fook the engine me and turbo grant can rebuild it cheap for you if you like so long as you bring the car, or at least the engine back to southampton

Is why i love my sunroof if your hot open windows and boost more!! Aircon is a waste of fuel and space, in the 3 years i havnt had it I've prob only missed it once or twice when you sat in a ton of traffic on a crazy hot day! Otherwise there is just no need for it.

Lmfao. You crack me up sparkster damn good driving. And fuck abusing it, its what its built for!! Track slag ftmfw!! Bring on 1.6bar!

Did your new bumper come with the new fixing mounts? I belive the 98 uses the same brackets as an na bumper? Iddy will be able to confirm this, as will any 96 v guys running 98 fronts.

Not a straight swap, the rails will need moding, tbh dude i would stick with gt seats they are far more supportive than the glanza seats mate.

Sparkster when the engine is back out, port and polish the oem tb and oem intake mani, good gains where seen on my mates gt when it was done, then he whent to a custom intake wich a has cracked and shit itself more times than i can count just like most of the £700-900 crappy intakes.

Is a tidy gt, you have built a nice strong engine there dude!! Was great to put a face to the name after all this time soz i left before your sesh though bud one of my bro's was moaning about being tiered and so was my mates mrs who was preggers so we had to shoot off will defo be around till the bitter end next show

Was looking tidy at fest bud the v wasnt even a patch on that hug though

Well done ed is turning into a real beast now you thinking 550's arnt man enough then?? mine was hitting 1.4 bar at 4500rpm, but turns out there have been 3 boost leaks so poor old turb was prob boosting like 1.7/1.8 seems ok though tbh. Not sure what the vf35 are like for max boost but my 24 seems strong obviously not boosting her much atm as the map is shite now the leaks are fixed. But enjoying seeing all the vf's graphs now just need a graph from bean too.

Fire dan507 a pm he is bornemouth wich isnt far from poole, me, forgedV and ollie454 are southampton so could meet up with you and get a few more gathered for the journey to the shows bud. Rr's theres triton motorsport near bournemouth airport (they are a lil pricey at times) or milway workshop in andover who map mine. Or a rotary specialist in portsmouth who tbh are shite with anything non mazda! Oh and of course theres the JDmodified lads in basingstoke, who are frankly fuckin shit hot!!!! Pm ollie454 for info on them as he works there. All in all dude, you make a date to head over and im

Awesome day!! Awesome stand!! Was good to meet a few faces. Didnt say hey to many peeps im afraid as i wondered off with my mates but met a few of you wich was cool cant wait for tye next one and im determined to get my v sorted not missing another track slot!! We got bk frm fest and spent a few hours back under the bonnet lol, aswell as the hour or so under the bonnet at fest! Stand was a massive turn out and im fairly surebwe where the biggest club stand by a fair few
