  1. Dan Geer spotted Marty that day.... He was stealthing it big time on the day. But Japfest 2013 was the biggest amount of starlets in one place at a time in the UK that im aware of!
  2. Ive 100% got a bootlid Chand. Possible on 1 wing and bonnet too!
  3. I may have to get this featured on UKSO's fb feed. This is a stunning car!
  4. The mounts look really well made. Looks like DEAN @ RW has done some of the fab work which is cool too. Love the way it looks and sits. Wonder how it drives.
  5. 15x6.5 The perfect size for an EP. 195/50/15 or 205/50/15 Tyres Sizes There a little fatter offset. ET33 I believe. ET37 is perfect for a starlet. (Bang in the middle between shock spring and arch.)
  6. Item For Sale: 90deg AN10 Fittings x6 Item Condition & Description: Brand New. Ready for Oil Catch Systems/Cam Covers on 4E-FTE. These are big fittings. Non of that PUSSY AN12 or AN16 stuff some people have used. Perfect for running BIG Boost. Price: £12 Each Posted. Will only sell in sets of 2 or 4. Pictures: Payment & Shipping Details: Paypal or Cash or EBT. Royal Mail 2nd Class Recorded.
  7. Item For Sale: 15" Desmond Regamaster EVO JDM Alloy Wheels Item Condition & Description: In Excellent Condition. White. Have had one set of tyres mounted on them. No scratches from fitting. 1 decal is missing off one of the wheels, a detailer was a bit too harsh with the pressure washer! I bought a Glanza, for these wheels. Paid good money too. I've had them professionally refurbished/powder coated. I dont need to sell these, but I will part with them. As I want to build a 2zz-ge head for my Glanza, as 9500rpm sounds too tempting to me! They can be seen in the Hyper Revs mag on the Glanza and GT Turbo. They are THE Lightest 15x6.5J Wheel Money Can Buy. 3.9kg a wheel! Which is why Spoon sold them under there own name. That is a serious weight reduction, certainly in rotation mass too! If you search on forums or ebay at SOLD items. You will see the price for these really is NO JOKE. Price: £950 Or Nearest Offer Pictures: Payment & Shipping Details: Cash or Paypal or EBT Collection or Shipped.
  8. Item For Sale: 15" SSR Firenze SSF JDM Alloy Wheels Item Condition & Description: Brand New Condition. White. Have had tyres mounted on two of them. No scratches fitting. I paid good money for these in shoddy condition. I've had them professionally refurbished/powder coated. I dont need to sell these, but I will part with them. As I want to build a 2zz-ge head for my Glanza, as 9500rpm sounds too tempting to me! They have been fitted to some famous GT's and Glanzas over the years and the copies made by Rota are no longer available. They are PISS TAKE Lightweight. 4.2kg a wheel! They are over 1kg lighter each then Rota's lightest wheel (Slipstream). That is a serious weight reduction, certainly in rotation mass too! Price: £750 Or Nearest Offer Pictures: Payment & Shipping Details: Cash or Paypal or EBT Collection or Shipped.
  9. Got a 98spec front cut for a FMIC in White....
  10. Interesting Thread!
  11. Interesting What oils do you guys use?
  12. Last time i had one in the air that wasnt the case. Who knows The OEM LSD dont have an actual LSD, its like a clutch style arrangement in the extra hub (hence the shorter shaft)
  13. Only if aftermarket diff in a normal casing. Quaifes wont behave like that they only become LSD when you put power through them. The OEM LSD doesnt do that for same reason, but you can tell them from the difference in casing.
  14. Look dry to me Got more balls then me for trying it by ones self though. Credit where its due.
  15. I daily'd a GT for a while. Cant see why you couldn't. I returned 45-50mpg with it in stock trim also! There very impressive when healthy and running as they should!
  16. Lovely Jubliee Darling! Keep me posted. Leme no if u need any help marra!
  17. Can me foggy. but all mounting points must be in tact!
  18. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXohMmY37SU Go to: 1:55. Can see a partial reg. N218? Has UKSO Decals like most starlets...?
  19. lol, I know that is the long term plan! At the moment im just loving the power its at! LOL 3 years yeh. lol Worth it in the end im sure. Yeh Rob I know mate. Didn't go with the intention of doing that tbh! Thought oh fuck it we will get a baseline. Remove a passenger, Fit Sticky Tyre's. Im sure it'd be in the 12s tbh!
  20. Then. Ontop Japshow Finale! Well! I really enjoyed this show. Big thanks to Drongo for the invite also! I wanted to beat my pathetic 14.9 I set at like 340bhp on my 4E-FTE many many years ago. That time has always loomed over me and sickened me! lol So signed on and in the que. I only managed to get 3 runs in. Many cars were failing. Including a Yellow GT (350-400bhp) with a gearbox failure off the mark which was all too familiar to watch. Been there done that got the fucking tshirt! However, now. 80% of the reason I did this change was to make my drivetrain bombproof. So lets see how it holds up! Pushing the car in the que was much easier then paddle clutching it the entire way also! As long as someones steering anyways!! 1st Run. No Burnout, decided to bring it onto boost slowly in 1st gear to set a base time. 14.21 @ 107.54 This was MILES better then before and the terminal was so much higher. The car was also soooo quick off the mark, no wheel hop, no shaking of the wheels, no shaking of the shafts. No Broken parts, it lapped it up! So this 2nd run, burnout time! Got the T1R's sticky (yeh I know wtf was I thinking). Launched on launch control and it went so well. Boom. 13.57 @ 108.07 Chuffed with that. Was only time for one more run, but I messed up the start. So didn't improve again. But a 13.57 with me (im not light) and another passenger who also is no lightweight. On 195/50/15 T1Rs. I was pretty pleased with. Certainly with no passenger and something sticky rubber (888 or AD08) there is a mid to high 12 on the cards im sure! Still a lot of spinning in 1st and 2nd. Here are the videos of the runs put together. 1st run was against a COLT CZT. 2nd run was against a 600bhp+ RX7. 3rd run was against Godzilla himself with 650bhp+ Not too shabby at all! >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeC2W4iDGvs Thats pretty much it for winter now so, plans for winter are as follows! 1, PAS. This needs sorting asap. 2, Programme my Race-Dash in. 3, Sort a Bonnet Solution Out! 4, Raise the boost a touch from 8psi to maybe 10psi. See what we get Watch this space
