TE37's and CE28's are usually forged, so yes, they are worth more, however they do look a bit pap in the smaller sizes. TE37's 'can' look good on the right car, but CE28's (IMO, ofcourse) have to be large, at least 17, pref 18", with a monster dish, to fully appreciate the style of the wheel, you just cant get that with the smaller sized wheels. Same with the 3-spoke SA3R advans, they look gash in anything less than 17", as you dont get the dish from them (my SSR Kakimoto's are 9" wide, for example, with a 2.5" dished lip, might be even more, never measured). What im saying is, there are alot of wheels you could bolt to a starlet, i had approximately 16 sets of wheels in a year of ownership, so i'd definately recommend keeping your eyes peeled on ebay, civic forums, mx5 forums etc, then you can pickup a cracking set of jdm wheels for next to nothing, with tyres. Its how i used to do it, and i had some cracking wheels, forged etc, without spending anything anywhere near what they should have been worth You'd cry if you knew what i bought those erasers for

they're 'worth' 200-250max, probably with tyres, i've had a few sets of them in the past, they aren't anything special, just, black. definately keep your eyes on ebay. type in searches such as mx5, pulsar, civic etc, they all use the same stud patterns, definately dont go paying over the odds for them though, they just arent worth it. Also, noone will know what they'll go for until the auction ends

well, not entirely correct a cheap little r32 gts-t with an RB20 is more than good enough for drifting, in fact they're very bloody good, as its a torquey little motor, can have em for alot less than 2grand also, plus they're very strong in the drivetrain region, obviously. thats the sort of discussion that gets people in trouble mate, drifting in a car park etc is private property, but the company who owns it can still prosecute, all have cameras etc and can easily track you down, so no, its not a good idea at all. trampdrift is ideal if you want to slide about with others who dont know much, and most will have cheap crap cars also. also what you on about bee*r? rick doesn't have one of those pieces of crap, they're a pile of shite. the only rev limiter one should need is their right foot cheap s14 would be a safe bet though if you cant find a decent r32 gts-t, a stage1 s14 could be had for WELL under 2k, and will do the job nicely. weld the diff and it'll drift like a nutter, wont be much use round town as it'll be clunking and jumping all over the place, but still, it'll go sideways pretty damn easily. you dont need much power to go sideways, with stock tyres/wheels mine would kick out at less than stock boost. if you have decent sized wheels/tyres (mine are 17x9" atm) then it does calm things down somewhat, but if you do mod the engine (stage2 is where i am, remapped accordingly) then it does liven things up considerably, in which you can often find the back end walking out well up into third gear, which can really catch you out at times and be almost dangerous. its all about how deep are your pockets mate tbh, everyone above has offered reasonable sound advise, just dont try it on the road, you WILL hit something, or someone, or get busted, either way, its bad.

as above, they wont go for 20k, if they go for near that then you'll see little change from £500 in today's exchange rate, thats with slow shipping, and the sort that means they'll get little protection on the way over, meaning they will probably get ravaged by salt water and such. bit of a shame, but there we go. when the exchange rate settles to what it was (around 200-250yen to the pound) then they'll be much more affordable, no point bringing them in at todays rates unfortunately. Those would have cost about 250-300quid a few months ago

the cv went on my glanza before i sold it, that make a kind of a clicking/rubbing sound at times, very wierd tbh, just had the joint replaced and it sorted it.

the pies club ye

gym membership, as its like, the most expensive thing ever. that and lots of christmas pies from the misses.

as above, its not cheap, at all. i dont do it, firstly because im no good at it (nowhere to practice), and secondly because i wouldnt want to spend the money repairing the car when it breaks. dont get me wrong, i would love to, but i have better things to spend my money on, other than tyres, clutches, diffs etc. if i had a battered little s13 i may give it a go, but then again thats another car to run, and again, most expense. i have some winter tyres to try on, but again, there isn't the space round here to try it out, and street drifting is for people who should be shot.

4efte. 500quid, bit of wiring, bam, done. 150bhp easy peasy ^^;

you gave it ears?!?!

that sounds very much like every meal i've ever had.

christmas = beer. the end.

^^^^ what that fat prick said.

werd to your mother.

gt's, good (i'll prob get a little auto in the new year, 800quid auto mk1 gt will do me), but also, you fail at life. well, you're welsh so you failed long ago, but now you've just failed slightly more. also cuddles fur the car ye?

i love chu but that was mega lols, bloody mentalist. i assume that was low boost because it didnt seem that quick, might just be perception of the video though, i know i've recorded a few (tc's 450bhp s14 for example) that dont look that quick in the vid, but at the time i believe feces was literally being forced from my body from the amount of boost, so yeah, perception is everything. and joz, lighten up mate, it was a crap vid, crap driving, crap tyres, but who cares, it doesn't mean anything, just a bit of fun at the end of the day. you do seem to take yourself a little seriously at times, just agree that it was a bit of fun and cheer up, at the end of the day, if you enjoy yourself then who cares, you can happily see everyone's perception viewing that video though (even after all the hype with the thread title, 'special feature' and all that bollocks, when anyone looking in would think they're gonna see some sort of pro driving vid, when in fact its just a starlet sliding about and almost crashing, not really anything to brag about). I may be old and synical, but hey, just trying to look on the more cheerful side of things. We're all on the same side at the end of the day, if people want to create sides on the same bloody forum then get over to tgtt, thats the place to go if you want to argue and bitch with the people you're supposed to be forum friends with

electronic ones aren't more accurate no, you'll never get more accurate than a quality mechanical gauge, thats fact. Electronic ones just provide versatility of peak recall, peak hold, warning etc, and funky stepper motor functions, but they are certainly not accurate. why the chuff did you sell this sparky? i worked my boobs off to get this for you, its a cracking unit. what is wrong with you boy, you crazy welsh cunt. also, if you need any info on it then let me know, i cannot remember the wiring exactly but it should be like any other gauge, ignition live, sidelight feed and then an earth, the hose will be for the pressure, ofcourse. all of the other ports are to connect alternative gauges and sensors to, such as water temperature, thats why there's so many bits on it. to be honest you'll stuggle to find such gauges without that unit anyway so just use it as its intended. and yes, it works, i tested it.

september? pricks. the weather last time was awesome, september it'll blates be raining.

bill?! a factual writer??!?! so it's all gonna be in braille ye? ;]

seconded. ^^;

hahahaha, 4wd? are you joking? bunch of nubs. supe's are rwd, all of them. n/a or turbs, they all have the same chassis and drivetrain layouts, with different types of gbox (5sp, 6sp, autos etc). all driven through the same wheels though. also, all that power in a rwd being useless? what the fuck are you talking about? you get more of it on the road than with 4wd, as they suffer transmission loss. makes sense round the twisties, but if you can drive properly then rwd is just as capable round the bends, 4wd is just cheating, and for big girls, wheres the fun if you dont have the risk of dying in a fiery death ;] tegs are different cars to starlets entirely. they handle well, for a start. they are fantastic round the twisties, absolutely demonic handling, you cant compare them to starlets as its a completely different car in its entirety. If you want to smash round the twisties, then yes, get a teg, if you want straightline power, then keep the starlet, it just depends what you want out of the car.

No, thats not what you do. Wrapping it in towels prevents the airflow throughout the case, how will being damp help? do you know anything about electricity, and how water isn't exactly it's best friend? There is a method of wrapping it in towels whilst turned on, which obviously makes it go rediculously hot, basically overheats it, then after about 15mins you unwrap it, leave it on to let it cool down, reboot it and apparently it'll sometimes work, but its very much a temporary fix. Damp towels will not cool it down if wrapped around it, thats absolutely rediculous, hahahaha. I'm saving that, i hope to god it was a joke ^^; mine RROD'd last week and has been sent off for repair, i'll sell it when i get it back as im buying an xbox360 elite in the meantime as i cant be bothered to wait, plus i'm getting it for £130 brand new so it wont actually cost me much to do Mine was just over its year warranty, went back fine as its covered by the 3year one anyways.

tbh its the stock rear bench with a really shitty bit of cloth draped over it, there's nothing particularly special about it.

i'd have it off you mate, pm me if you fancy selling it, let me know

i've ticked back a glanza odo before, and that didnt involve cutting anything, just about 3 or 4 hands and a few neat crafty little pointy tools to wind it back, but it is VERY fiddly, and will probably be entirely different to UK clocks as the cluster is very different.
