Thanks for the nice comments guys 2008 will be year of the engine for the JDM Red so Im open to quite a few options... Joz

Congrats on passing the MOT Tommy. What are you plans for the EP in 2008? Joz

Welcome to Uksc Damien. Gorgeous red glanza you got there, something we don't see too often ;) It would be great to see some more photos of your beast and some specs if possible I also replied to your message bud. Enjoy the site. Joz

I was working lol! :D Still hope everyone has a prosperous and peaceful new year! ;) Joz

Ace work Keirz! Edited or not, they are stunning photos in their own right! Hope to see more of the same in 2008! Also good luck with the Glanza Project! Joz

Thats something awful to happen man Best of luck getting it all sorted. Keep the faith! Joz

My mistake teg Do you have a spec list on her and any power outputs? Hope to see some more pics soon. Joz

No worries bud. Hope you find what your looking for. Joz

Well I'd stick at it and do some more research Mighty fine project you have there with plenty of potential. Joz

Your tegs a beauty mate, smooth colour. How does she compare to fte power? Joz

Owners of EP70s on the site are very scarce but the majority that we have seen have indeed done the 4efte conversion or higher 1.5 5efte hybrid. For more info check the EP70 section as all other EP70 rides will be there, >EP70 Builds, check Gemma's purple monster eater and Mr Narami's EP70 for a better idea of turboed P70s. The 4efte engine will fit, but there will be wiring issues so you'd either need decent wiring experience and diagrams or get a pro who knows what they are doing to sort it. I've also moved your topic into the right section, any specific 4efte engine talk would go into 4efte Engine Information, not to worry tho Hope this helps. Joz

Please don't post in general Tintin if you are asking about car related parts etc. I have moved it for you to our dedicated Braking section. You might find some useful info that has already been discussed so take a gander. Cheers man Joz

Get some cawfee into ya fool! 27mm is more than a little bit out dude... Joz

You are wrong on many size accounts above Riko, get your facts right man... If you'd only bothered to read my first post before attacking The cusco I dont know of, but why would they make smaller than oem??? Joz

Hey man, welcome back. Everything I say is from my own personal experiences (not regurgitation unless a common subject) as I notice improvements or downsides from mods I add. There wont be a downer on what people say as I know exactly what I've done, how the car feels and what it can do/do further. Im no expert on all the jargon but I do try and explain best I can. I would say the coilovers made the biggest difference obviously in the stiffness/hardness of my car and they are what make the car feel hardest, I was lucky to pass mot because of the whole stiffness of the car, so I stand by the fact that with my coilovers (which are not the hardest spring rates 4kg Front, 6kg rear and the abundance of braces, bars etc the roll stiffness is excellent for cornering and the reduction in flex is great, I agree the chassis itself, (not the bolt on goodies on) could be much improved with your recommendations as it is generally sloppy (there is aways room for improvement). I've tried an overall balance and so far the driving experience is fine, I can further tune the rear if needed as the rear arb is 3 way adjustable. I feel very happy with my setup thus far. Also the largest whiteline do is 24mm for the front arb, all rear arb upgrades are 20mm including ultra racing's. Joz

Nice work getting those parts, can't be easy. Its awfully good of you to restore the Gt too lol! Keep up the good work! Happy new year mate. Joz

Nice work mate. Can't beat a bit of individuality, wait til you get your starlet, will get addicitive taking photos and making new sigs Keep up the good work and enthusiasm. Joz

This is what I love about UKSC, lots of suspension talk As with the majority of items on your car Keirz, the front anti roll bar is possible to upgrade. The standard front arb on the glanza/gt is 20mm, it is also the same on the n/a starlets. The common upgrade in sizes are the whiteline 22mm for streetable/conventional use and whiteline 24mm for harder track use. TRD produce one and it is a staggering 24.3mm giving 46% lateral resistance (props to hardcore ep91 for that) , think even most civics stick at 22mm and larger cars go up to 24mm... I know Im still n/a at the moment but the chassis exploitation is the same, but I could feel the front arb upgrade (mine was 22mm upgrade) gave a little extra strength in the hard cornering department as it does what its meant to do, reduce body roll during harder cornering. I defo felt an improvement. Also it has to be said that the rubber bushes on the standard front anti roll bar will have/are wiltering away, this affects the performance of the arb big time, with an uprated front arb you will receive new replacement polybushes (not rubber!) also and this is a big plus. So there are a few reasons why people choose to upgrade them, I did because it was part of my plans and also it was a group buy! ;) There are countless areas of the EP chassis to exploit and tune, its all up to what you want to try for yourself. I've gone overboard with mine as I had a bad experience with an older car and wanted a chassis that would be very hard/sturdy and hard to lose it in the corners. I'm also one who has actually upgraded the front arb and I can vouch that if you are going for an all over suspension setup, it would be worth considering once you have invested in other 'more' beneficial mods. As you know every little helps! The lower tie bar or front lower arm bar completes the structure for the front and gives the most noticeable and usable improvement, its attached right under the wishbones, the only drawback is it might catch on bumps and stones and have clearance problems on certain exhaust downpipes... a four point would be even more maniacal I have one on order of course... Dare I say this, not many people will like, but the rear anti-roll bar didnt do an 'awful' lot for me, however my n/a EP rear was already stiff as you like and I didnt have the common real twitch or slipping out problem anymore, it already had a combo of 6kg Rear Tanabe Coilovers, RSR panhard rod, cusco rear brace and the C Pillar bar. Its good to be different eh... Hope this helps Keirz, happy new year mate! And yes that was me who added you to facebook lol under my real name... (had no choice lol) Joz

Sorry to hear your pc problems man. I'd use more than one antivirus (one at a time) to be double sure its gone, as some may pick up something others wont. AVG Avast McAfee All freeware, www.download.com, norton antivirus is more trouble than its worth so I'd avoid! An even better way is to identify the name of the trojan once scanned with antivirus, search on google the best way to eradicate the virus in particular, simple antivirus scan doesnt always do the trick after deletion and there more steps needed for total eradication. Hope this helps James. Joz

Hi Lee Welcome to ukstarletclub.com! It will be great to see some pics of your '94 quadlight GT soon as. Hope you enjoy the site, and feel free to have a good browse to get a general feel for everything. Joz

Those would look sweet on an EP! I'd go for a set. Joz

Sorry to hear that Lew mate Im a bit groggy too lol, too much whiskey and mixers ;) Hope you'll be on your feet for new years! Joz

Hi Tom Welcome to Its great to have you onboard. We are as enthusiastic about non turbo starlets as we are turbo so there is no reason to feel left out. It was great to see some photos of your EP70 and you should be really proud as there are not many of your starlet model about. Enjoy your stay mate Joz

Thanks for the comments guys. Just enjoying the break and a few JD's. Johnny the 5efe is a good improvement over the 4efe in terms of torque and driveability, nothing more, nothing less. The GoodYears are a great tyre and very balanced in the dry and wet but I think there can be better levels of grip, so will change to another tyre when the time comes. Cheers Gaz man As for the buff, she was already buffed Raj man, just needs some tlc and more regular polishing/waxing. Merry Xmas Everyone! Joz

Merry Xmas Shellbo Hope you and Tony jay really enjoy your 2 weeks in HK la ;) Take Care! Jozzy
