i have a few.... but my total favorites from the brunters photoshoot with banzai! i remember the photographer calling us all round and saying that he was gonna take a photo of all the cars together and then he said; "can i have the black and white one at the front please!" i cannot explain how pleased i was that day... and the fact that my wee beasty was at the front!! still brings a grin to my face as i type this! Rich.

*cough* ahem *cough* lets hear it geo! i wanna be in the know too!!!

dont be silly mate... we're a helpful bunch on here, dont be afraid to ask us anything!! and yeah, i see where your coming from with your first comment.

lookin forward to seeing it dude

jeez!! i missed this!! ooooooooops! happy birthday bro! have a good 'un!! ps. dont you dare think of selling the glanza!! Rich.

what ever happend to that bumper you were gonna make fit the glanza mate?? it might suit that colour down to the ground in my opinion.

looking awesome dude!! engine bay looks awesome!! looking forward to seeing the kit on her!! where abouts are you based mate? keep us updated!! Rich.

looking awesome dude!!! really loving that.... looking forward to seeing the finished result.

nice piccy mate

fantasic machine mate!! thats a really impressive spec list there... do you find the new turbo quite laggy compaired to the ct9? what rpm does it come on full boost? im really envious!! enjoy your stay. Rich.

dammit!!

what whitestarlet said. not many people seem to realise the difference between the two engines... the fhe has a totally different wiring set up compaired to the 5efe. whereas the 5efe has almost identical wiring to the 4efe... hence why whitestarlet said it was easy. the fhe uses a separate coil*, different distributor(4efte)*, higher lift cams, different exhaust manifold & downpipe, different inlet manifold with idle control valve (4efte)*, larger injectors, and a different throttlebody (4efte)* *all use different wiring to the 4e/5efe. you could possibly get it running using the 4efe loom if you use the 4efe: distributor, throttlebody, inlet manifold, injectors and ecu. but you would need to do something about the fueling like maybe a adjustable fuel pressure regulator with the fhe injectors, and then you would still only have a rev limit of 6k, and then you'd probably have less power than the 5efe.

i was missed!

the ecu will not work with your ignition setup mate. its designed to run with an external coil whereas yours has one internally in the distributor. Rich.

my computer died... and the warranty company were being gay and didnt do anything to it for 3 weeks... so i only just got it back... i had to go an collect it too!!

i might have a bash if i have the time...

i think the remaining few not being banned are me rubix and sicaln...

nicely done mate... i havent had a bash on illustrator for ages.... you've obviously got a knack for it already!! looks great. Rich.

no idea mate... i got the guy who did the mot to get one and fit it... i was at my whits end with it!!! hope you get it sorted mate. all the best. Rich.

i fitted a sera 5efhe into my starlet last year, and i wouldnt reccomend it against the 5efe... it had a totally different wiring setup its quite simular to the 4efte as it uses a fte distributor, throttle body, intake manifold etc etc. basically if you can fit the 5efe easy peasy, then why bother with the 5efhe as it will cost you a fair bit to get it rewired and running all for the sake of 10bhp and an extra 1600rpm on the redline. i learned the hard way. Rich.

you got that right.

this may be of help to you or may not mate, but my car failed mot the other week on emmissions also... and the co levels were too high and the lamda reading was miles out also... basically, it was overfueling by a huge amount... my mechanic replaced the lamda and it passed first time. have you noticed a heavy increase in fuel consumption recently? as if so, this could be your problem. ine was on about 27-28mpg before the new lamda, whereas now its over 37. hope that helps dude. Rich.

lookin betta than i imagined dude!! im pleased for ya!!!

im sure your not alone there mate

its your car phil, if theyre gonna go with the style your gonna apply then go for it. the way you have to look at it is that if you would have come straight onto the site and talked about doing your quad dtm exhaust system, im sure alot of people wouldnt like it, and would tell you it wouldnt suit the car... altho you went ahead and did it, and it looks fab! so go for it phil! prove everyone wrong!!! Rich.
