Just had a read threw the build, there are some great builds happening.

Just wondering how your getting on.

A big thumbs up from me. This is something I'm getting gone as soon as I can get back on mine.

Even at 160ish I bet that setup pulls like hell. Nice build. Watching with interest.

Ive just had a catch up on this build, loving the head work. May I suggest removing the cast/machined lip on the head/combustion chamber side (inlet side) the rear side of the inlet valves. This lip restricts the inlet valve at this point till around 1-2mm lift off the valve seat, it affects around 30% of the valves circumference. Alittle tip is to use an old head gasket placed on the head to see where material can be removed. This 5e is going to be mega.

Im in need of a dizzy cap waterproof bag/cover. If anyone knows of anywhere that sells them.

It's back on, what a first race. What a session this is going to be. What are the thoughts on it?.

Waw. Really into these. Retro proformance, updated. Keep it coming.

Looks smart, I do like black. What power are you on.

Did you replace any oil seals, (rear main/gear input shaft) looks like oil on the old clutch + in the bell housing.

Watching with big interest. Nice work. Lovely car.

I'd love that and tbf your not a million miles from Fleetwood. Would be nice to meet some of you lads, great bunch.

So much love for this. I had abit of time on my hands. I've just read threw this for start to finish. Keep up the great progress.

Looks great either way. Nice addition. Loving the interior work going on at the min. I can't wait to get back on my little starlet.

Looking good Frankie. I'm good crazy busy with work, and can't wait to get back to the UK to see the family. thanks for asking. How are you, and the family?. I've got a few things I also need to get done that have been delayed, it's very frustrating, but Needs must I guess!.

Waw I've never seen 1 of them mats, is it aToyota part?.

Season 3 is the best yet focuses on the 2020 F1 season, fantastic insight. Is there any others people can recommend watching.

I've got a date finally I will be back in England. That is the 23rd of June!!!. Really can't wait. It's been a killer few weeks testing. Daniel has managed to get back onto the starlet setting up the e11 corrola inlet ready to develope it, improving the 0rpm to 4k+rpm power/torque band. With this I reckon we can enlarge the throttle body base platen to house the Audi S80 sport twin throttle, which I might add is a very large throttle body + making a power box pre engine throttle body, post bov valve/D valve antilag incorporated as part of the intercooler pipe. Also keeping the manifold plenum chamber small. The idea is the larger diameter throttle body and larger volume power box/intercooler pipe will deliver the required air on wide open throttle. The manifold design is crazy efficient from 0 to around 5krpm giving great engine response. Which we fully expected. Danny is very impressed with it. The corrola inlet has knocked 500rpm off the turbos spool up time also giving fantastic low-end torque output. The higher lift 4efte inlet cam has also been installed to help increase 4k+rpm power. I forgot to inform Daniel about the cam pully bolts requiring lock tight, I totally forgot. Then this happend. In The picture you can see were the adjusting bolts have slipped position altering cam timing as the engine was running. I was warned about these pulys and to thread lock (lock tight) them once adjusted. No damage done!!, more frustrating for him, and a full day wasted. Standard race car stuff I guess!!. I also would like to repeat this to anyone how has one, or is thinking about getting one. He has had abit of a nightmare with fuel leaks and timing belt pulley bless him. We are having to get all compression joint fuel lines made up with running high fuel pressures.

All kinds of yes please. I'm definitely getting the seatbelts done.

If you fancy the 4efte inlet cam I've got quite a few here/at home in the UK.

Waw that's a nice bit of plate. Really am looking forward to this. Looks all kinds of crazy.

The time will soon pass. I do believe these guys are the guys to go to with these. These lads and Fen sport seem to be the starlet specials.

Watching with huge anticipation.

Let me know how these feel on the road. I might invest in a set. Great mod.

Here we go again My predictions was 1 sec alap lost with the aroe regs. I'm expecting Merc to be on top of these losses. they have been developing this seasons car the longest. Looks great to drive. Smooth and controllable. Come on seb let's push sir Lewis all the way. Day 1 Day 2 Yep this is were I stand. You can't expect these youngsters to be able to drive at these speeds RIGHT NOW!!!!. Day 3 Alittle intro to the AMR21
