lol anyone can be a named driver so how about aunts etc? defo just need to shop round loads, its a shame realy because they wonder why so many people arnt insured when the premiums are this high!!
-
if its an old lady it should be well looked after, just ask her to move the car at some point when you veiw it so you can see what her clucth control is like as old people have a habit of revving the shite out of cars wich means the clutch may not be over healthy, and anything you can use to get the price down helps i never pay asking price for cars as theres always somthing you can nock it down on. looks clean though

try liverpool victoria, they used to do a bonus scheme for first time insurance policey holders, and you realy dont want to use comparison sites there poo, i know i had a struggle this year to get mine down an im 26 and never had a claim etc yet it still whent up by nearly £100 till i shopped round loads, insurance premiums are mad atm

Simlar to trd uprated bushes, but made of polyurathane so little to no flex meaning no loss of power though engine movement, and they wont wearout like rubber mounts do. The lsd bush has never been developed and looking at the oem mout they take a lot of strain from the lsd so will be fantastic to finaly put a poly mount on there ;-) @ sanchez, found in japland mate, never seen em before for a starlet so had to have them. And bigger is better

cruise cams are regrinds of the oem, anything over 264 is not possable though.

before you get to carried away though the 5e isnt as rev happy as the 4e from what I've read up on tgtt's 5e upgrade guide, plus for track surley you want a free reving engine? dont forget also bigger pistons more cc, i run 75.5mm in a 4e wich makes it damn near a 1400 (1371 or 1381 i forget wich) if your going 5e may aswell forge it wich means you have all the same costs as a forged 4e plus the extra £400-500 odd for a 5e to even start the build, plus a different fly so you can use 4e performance clutches, every one says use it as an excuse to go 5e but people forget its not far off t -

Rebuild is easy enough to do, bit of engineering depending on damage, but you may be lucky and get away with polishing the crank, most likley will be a regrind and 100 odd quid on new bearings, chemical clean block and head for like 60quid and off ya go, will need a new hg etc as well but depends how big a rebuild you want, could go forged with full arp bottom end and arp headbolts, bigger hg and cams etc ;-) like i say depends how far you want to go, just inspect everything as nothigs worse than a rebuild when you miss somthing and it goes again. -
Wouldnt touch speedvision turbos or cams the td04 kit is fine I've been using it well over a year and its mint I've added no extra bracing or anything, have to say he did get them spot on they are well worth the money mate. Ask whiteglanzav on here or tgtt he has also ran one for over a year honestly cant go wrong with it bud
-
i have to agree with the other lads dan, theres tons of lads on tgtt asking chu for your fenders and hes not replying so yours will shift for a damn good price on a side note a big turbo'ed starlet would muller the evo6 why arnt you building her to her full potentional??
-
little update, still sorting the head/cams atm, once the heads back then ill start some proper updates, cant do alot till then
-
i have to say im with sparky, im caged with fmic, oil cooler, front exit exhaust etc and my V looks evil imo but it only gets booted when i feel like givin a bit otherwise just drive like anyother car, but agree with the whole people in you boot reving up and tryin it on, normaly a quick touch of throtle and they stop tryin when they see how quick the little starlets can shift!
-
you will 100% regret selling it! id say around 4-5k easy is a lot of hard to get bits on it and its mint!
-
