all 4/5E cams are the same, except for the JDM FHE cams in the Cynos. the heads are all the same regardless of what engine they are from. there was some talk years back about the fhe heads being higher compression, but i call bullshit. ive seen them side by side and there isnt any difference. tbh, if youre pulling the engine anyway, just get hold of a good fhe engine and swap to a 1.5. the cynos 5E has the ACIS manifold on it, which is awesome if setup properly, and the "better" cam. the rods are also lighter which help with the NA revvy side of things. if i were going NA in a starlet, id go this route, and stick a good header/exhaust on.

A glanza head will be the same as your SR. So no point pissing about with that. Jdm FHE cams would do a turn, but are hard to come by and aren't worth the money they command. Skim the head and get a trd head gasket if you want to up the compression, then play with the timing. That's about all you can do with an NA 4e.

I might have one in the garage mate...

Plug and play mate

its just the short block and all things that go with it you need. everything else will swap from the 4e. and a PAS pump if you plan on keeping that. they are different.

Bill. You'll be coming next year. I will sabotage your other arrangements etc. Support vehicle BMWs are what it's all about tbh.

He might have some at his parents. I'll ask.

Coil overs aren't any stiffer than shocks. They are just height adjustable. It's the spring rates you want to look for, regardless of if they are coil overs or normal shock absorbers.

Riko used to make them. He doesn't do them anymore as he lives in Saudi Arabia ^^ I'll text him if you want?

Just make sure you have the mount too as I recall that they can be different.

What one? They are decent turbos for the money tbh. The 200 series would do well on a 4e tbh.

It'll fit. They are the same.

HEY BILL. FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING JEW.

no mate, I got rid of the S15 and got a GTR32. I then got rid of that as it was a licence loser at 642hp. I've got a remapped 335d as my daily now. 335hp/470ft is a win ^^

just what is involved with doing this yourself? ive never tried, but need my dash done...

Right, now that everyone is free from the bullshit that ended up being the UKSC, I thought I should come back and start posting again. For those who don’t know me, I used to be about on here quite a bit, and was even an admin and a trader at one point. If any of you have TC Tuning bits on your car, that's me. I've always loved starlets and have been here since day one (I think my membership number is 12 or something ^^) and was one of the original lot who moved over from the TOC when we were all fed up with how that site was (ironically) run. Rob also likes giving me handjobs. I used to have a pretty nice Glanza, which looking at the calibre of some on here today would just be considered decent. The starlet scene has moved on quite a bit in my absence… I thought I should start a build thread, even though I don't have a starlet. Here is my Eunos - it started out as a piece of shit, and hopefully will end up a rather nice track toy. No comments about hairdressing or being homosexual please. it all started when i bought this, because MX5's are fun to drive and it was cheap: ...which was pretty rubbish. I put those Panasport ProRallys on, as the previous owner wanted the Daisy's that were on it. I then proceeded to put it in the garage, and take it apart to smarten it up a bit, and things went a bit OCD... I ended up with a shell ^^ the underside was in good condition, but quite rusty in places, so i got to sorting it out with some converter, underseal and cavity wax. from this: to some grinding: to the finished article: this happened under the entire car. to do this, i had to take out all wishbones, subframes, prob and diff etc, and while they were out i thought i should smarten them up a bit as they were looking a bit shit. first of all i sorted the diff out as i wanted to refurb it. CV Cups, before and after: These are all painted black now, as well as the drive shafts etc, but i didnt take any photos. i then rebuilt the rear calipers with all new seals, this job was horrible, dont do it. next up was the diff itself. the stock one was open, and therefore useless. i wanted an LSD. enter this little beauty, a TorSen LSD: i needed new seals and stuff, and also a clean up as it looked like shit. diff split and removed the bushings.. i dont have pics of the rebuild, as i had my halds full, but essentially everything is replaced with new OEM Mazda parts, except the diff mounts, as rubber bushings are for gays. so i put MMR Delrin bushes in, because racecar. the diff was rebuilt with all new Stainless hardware, as i FUCKING HATE rusty bolts. with the diff sorted, i moved onto the wishbones. as i said earlier, rubber mounts are for homos, so were fully polybushing these sombitches. and after an acid dip, shot blast, zinc coat and 2 coasts of powder. we have these. i had everything done, including the fronts, but i dont have pics. no idea why. the components used were Energy Suspension polybushes, as they are supposed to be the best. the only issue with floating polybushes is servicing, they need regreasing once a year, and if anyone has changed theirs on here, youll know how much of a prick it is. there is 18 bushes just on the wishbones on an MX5 as they are quite complex. i decided to add some zerks to them to help with maintenance. winner. now that the arms are sorted, i decided to start on the hubs... the rear bearings are prone to dieing on MX5s that see lots of hard driving due to heat transfer, so i have opted for new bearings, however i am going to rebuild them with some high grade bearing grease that shouldnt baulk under high temps. this required the hubs to be stripped and cleaned. they will also be polybushed and painted for protection. top one is how they came off the car, bottom one is stripped. that is pretty much it for the mechanics side of things... its a long old slog getting this how i want it... the only other thing ive done is begin painting it as i dont like red, and changing the bonnet. MX5s have a real high pressure build up at the front of the engine bay when driving at speed. this can really hinder cooling as air struggles to get through the radiator. to help with this, you cut a hole in the bonnet to allow a flow. or if you are a baller, you buy a Garage Vary bonnet. the car is going to be RAL 5023, which is kind of a grey/blue colour. it will also be a satin finish, so will look baller. heres what ive done so far... thats it, were pretty much up to date.... More to follow as it happens.

In in Brentwood, but i don't have a Starlet anymore ^^

fyi everyone, those wheels are mine ^^

youre useless Rob. fuck off ^^

I think I might make a reappearance now that you've gotten rid of that fucking penis. Well done boys.

He sounds sexy tbh.

Shame there was some non-jap cars on the stand. Ruined it for me tbh. Pull your finger out next time Rob.
