  1. Is it seabs old v then? And not sure where it will be on stand wise im up to td to be mapped when im running as I've had a few chats with mike about it, he seems possative we can get good power, just have to see how well it goes on track lol. Looked like a good track at jf2 though, seems quite long to, just a shame the track spectating areas arnt so good we struggled to find anywhere to view other than the start straight realy.
  2. The tongs td12 had massive potential, its a shame everyone was in the "td04 obsessed buble" at the time tbh. It was an awesome example of a true hybrid. Dont think theres that many of them about either iirc as they where a bit expensive compared to the tongs spec 2's.
  3. I shud hope to see some track in mine this year too and maybe even at jf2 can have a good snoop over eachothers cars then and yea nothing like a lil change up to keep it looking fresh. Love both bumpers, bothe look aggressive and suit it down to the ground.
  4. Ill let ya know how it does bud ;) and yea should be fairly easy to knock up a simlar sort of kit tbh. As im sure you know grant has a minor obsession with torques and areoquip and im starting to catch it too lol.
  5. Fuck yes!! Love it mate, damn good choice! And love v's that are origonal a portion of the reason my v got broke few years ago was after years of hard searching and alot of cash all of a sudden everyone had cruise bonnets and the fenders have recently been done now too i saw origonal parts ftw baby! Cant wait to see this on track this year
  6. It was part of an oil cooler kit i bought for the v but the kit was shite lol all thats used is the oil housing plate and filter relocation housing, the fittings and lines have now all been replaced with torques fittings and areoquip hose.
  7. Looks savage bud, when i ran cruise wings on my v i spaced the fronts 20mm with hubcentric spacers, sugest you check em out as they filled the wheel to the arch better but also improved the handaling on the front end alot tbh ;)
  8. Cheers lads id of thought so amjad as i had it up in the grill on the v too, but never had an oil temp guage on the v where as i do on thegoat so ill be able to tell this time. I dont real think coolers are needed on our little cars, just good air flow should greatly improve the temps id of thought.
  9. Yea good point adam, it is a very short ration tbh, maybe ill do it after the box has been altered as it will be far longer ratio's then. But as I've pointed out bb turbos spool better than td series as can be seen from any of the graphs on this site or tgtt
  10. As above pics needed you notice any advantage from the fender braces atal? I've toyed with idea of buying some a few times now
  11. Well down the garage again, got a few bits n bobs cleaned up n sorted, finaly got my head round the last of the wiring at the rear ofbthe block so thats basicly finished, oil relocation kit is finished, intercooler is back on and bolted up. Just the cooler pipes to bung on and the inlet and tb needs the last few tweaks then just need to start it and see if it blows up haha So how she is sitting atm, im actualy soooooo in love with it again! I want her back asap!
  12. No graphs or vids im afraid but cars almost back so ill sort a vid for you then toff, and you forget that yes my vf24 is bigger than a td04 but mine is ball bearing where as a td04 isnt so spool is greatly improved hence gt28's that spool faster than td04's when using the bb gt28's. Im still keen to see proper graphs and vids of tf035's just for curiosity tbh. Hey if we all ran the same setups the starlet scene would be realy dull in fairness
  13. not sure what you are attempting to achive bud? ep82 is 4x100 so why would you need/want 4x114.3's there are plenty of ways to upgrade the brakes on an ep using the 4x100 hubs, plenty of lads on here using celica and levin set ups or aftermarket 4pot race setups.
  14. well was gonna be the bmw but it died last night lol so if its fixed the bmw if not might steal deebo's ep80
  15. yea come to japfest with us lot guys. and june time may well work tbh, shud be running buy then easy. as the weather is shite we could always do a pub lunch one weekend so we can all meet for a beer n grun have a chat and get a bit jelly over thoses who turned up in starlets lol
  16. no massive gains till over the 300-350mark realy as the stock valve train is quite good tbh. as for availability a ew jdm conpanys made some but they are expensive and rare and expensive to fit due to be a regrind. the only other option is billet cams but again not a cheap option amd atm not an off the shelf product but thier are companys and traders on here who can obtain billet cams if your setup will require them. not a hugely common mod in the starlet scene though as more power for less money can be achevived else where in the specs of the engine/setup
  17. nice one! and yea glanza seats are proper la poo when cornering gt seats ftw!
  18. Amen to that. like you said last night Gman no point rushing. get her perfect then unleash shrek on the poor unsuspecting people of the south haha
  19. as above. in a few more months id be in there like a shot!!
  20. welcome mate, you from around eastleigh? seen this near the white skyline parked opposite flemming.
  21. saloon looks wank! could manage to make the estate look savage i rekon.
  22. Mine was going to be sky too when it goes back on the road, but after they tried to shaft my boss for the van insurance by telling him i have a "checkered driving history" thier words, they can fuck right off! Sky are very much not my fav people right now. Avoid flux too as they are uber shite service and offered extras that wernt actualy there when the docs came through.
  23. Na man mask em off and mask off and paper all the surrounding panels and spray them too. As for prep other than sandind down and using some sort of cleaner i realy dont know mate. Im sure one of the body lads like adam or tyrone will anser though. All i know is its all in the prep i hear, so more effort in prep the better the end result.
  24. Meh wats the worst that can happen, shit breaks, shit gets fixed. Thats how im lookin at my ep85 running gear tbh. Some of us need to try and destroy it to just to find the limits i guess.
