A friend of mine was at Donington in an MX5, commented how well you were going.

Fantastic, thanks Garry!

Is there any chance I could get an outline, photos and some measurements of the caliper mounts and disks? I'd be willing to send you some money to cover time and a couple of beers, shame you're so far away otherwise I'd have helped you out.

Does the above go? I read that the Glanza fuel tank holds 5 litres more fuel than the Starlet, can anyone confirm that's the case?

Do these have unique pad back plates, or are they from something else? Also, from the pictures I've seen, pad sweep doesn't seem to be optimal, there's lots of disk space between edge of caliper to hub, care to comment?

Hi..

Can you tell me what date is on the harness, please.

As title really, ideally wants to be in black.

What series are you intending to race in?

I managed to persuade Abbot's brother not to break his Starlet, and went to collect it today. Some pretty horrific weather was the only issues faced on the ~200 mile drive home back up north to Sheffield. Spec so far is pretty decent.. CT9 Zisco ram horn manifold Zisco downpipe Tongs Hybrid Turbo FMIC Japspeed exhaust system Walbro fuel pump Kazz LSD ORC single plate clutch CCM short shift kit Meister coilovers Whiteline front ARB Whieline rear ARB adjustable Custom panhard Rod Powerflex Engine Mounts Enkei 15” Wheels Greddy E-manage blue, field harness (EP82), 3 bar map sensor Plans are to turn this into a track/race car, enter into as many Track Day Trophy races as my budget allows next year, and have fun with it. First on the long list of jobs is a visit to custom cages to have them fit a Clubman cage, but before that I have to completely strip the interior of car, wiring, dash, glass, you name it, so that should keep me busy for a week or two. Will grab some photos tomorrow, I have 7 days of insurance and after that it will be taken off the road and hidden away for me to work on.

I spoke briefly with Custom Cages about an EP91 cage, they wanted £1600 + VAT! They'll be fitting a clubman spec cage to my EP82 in the next month or two.

What cage are you guys going for?

It's now at £2100 Ridiculous.

I'd say at the moment, about £1000 for an auto seems to be the going rate, what condition these cars are in I have no idea. Pictures on the internet say very little about a car, so unless you've been to look at these "cheaper" GT's who's to say it's shit or a good one? My thinking with an auto is it is likely to have been driven easier than a manual over it's life, they are mostly standard and it's likely I'll be taking the engine out of whatever I buy anyway. So if I can find a "decent" auto for around £1000, it might cost me another £1000 to have a gearbox rebuilt with a new LSD but at least the gearbox/clutch is then a known commodity. Rather than spend £2000 on a manual car in "decent" condition which could need a gearbox rebuild anyway.

I know exactly what needs to be done to convert an auto to a manual

I thought it was priced right at £1000 ono and was considering making an offer, but by the time I'd gotten over the fact that I would need to swap the gearbox and it was silver, it had sold. £1600 for an auto, which has been bought to sell on, has mismatched wheels and the odd scrape is a big ask. I suspect it will be for sale for quite some time.

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/toyota-starlet-gt-turbo-jap-import-logged-as-13-gl/1026362250#photo-content Was on eBay for a very short amount of time earlier this week, I spoke to the lady who owned it and she wanted 1000ono, so i suspect this guy will be wanting to make a quick buck. It's listed as a Manual, but it's an Auto. Original eBay listing.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Starlet-gt-turbo-/130953402413?ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME%3AX%3ARTQ%3AGB%3A1123&item=130953402413&nma=true&si=oUK69C9BKeRucnnLuXei0C3zDY8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Just a heads up really.

If only my budget would stretch this far.. Best of luck with the sale.

Still on the prowl for one of these .. Hit me up, will consider anything that's shaped like an EP82.

Thanks for the offer, but it's an EP82 I'd like. Needs to have an engine and stuff too
