    Some pics i took the when I was home in august for holidays, while doing a few bits,was hoping to get it on the road for a few days driving before i headed back to Perth,but I had a few problems to sort,some of which i was willing to put up with just to get it out,but it would be a pig to drive around in,plus the lack of tax and test would be an issue.
    anyway...

    Next purchase will be 272 cams from Tighe Cams.

    Im still unsure what turbo to use on this yet.

  2. They were fitted in wez freemans glanza black one td05 if im nt mistaken ??

    those where Suzuki ignis sport recaros.

    i had these in my old starlet, still using the rails on my sr3 recaros :)

    what I basically want is a pair of the rails,for my surf.

  3. Just wondering who here has Toyota hilux surf recaros fitted?


    Im buying another hilux surf in a few weeks,and im looking for the actual recaro seat rails,if anyone has a pair kicking around from having fitted these recaros.


    Cheers

  6. Thats an awesome lil beast. Need someone to keep her ticking over while your in the land of Oz? ;)

    LOL,thanks,but im quite happy for it to sit and gather dust at home.

    tempted to just build somthing over here though,as i would get to use it more,as the company i work for sponser the local race track.

  7. thought you sold up in the end johnny??

    no i finished building it.

    check it out on the bottom of this link.

    http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/1373-pics-of-my-blue-ep91-turbo/page-8

    i moved to australia in october,but the car is still garaged at home and wont be going anywhere.

    thanks fellas,i check out those builds when i get an hour for a decent browse.

    what i really want to know is,are they a decent track car?i dont mind spending money to bring one up to spec,can do it over time anyway,but dont want to go crazy with it,just want to have some fun,my own build got a bit to serious,and i dont really want to track it.

  8. I reckon you could build a track car relatively cheap.

    Like said above though I'd concentrate on handling as its the main negative of these cars. good suspension set up fresh bushs ball joints arb's braces everything you can.

    Then port the mani and the wastegate, gut the cat, adjustable actuator, rx7 top mount, plug leads, straight thru exhaust, relocate airfilter, rrfpr and fcd for cheapness.

    Only thing you would need to watch is you dont blow the engine with the rrfpr and fcd if you can stretch id go for an emb just to be safe.

    yeah it could be done very cheap,but i want it to be very reliable.

    as for the ecu,i can swap over my fcon gold and get another map on it for the track car,so that side of things doesnt worry me.

    gutting the cat and porting the mani would be ideal!

    very tempted to buy something in need of tlc now and have it for when i go home!

  9. Depends what your wanting mate there is a few on here that are track cars seem to concentrate on the handling and I've seen some still running the ct9 turbo for instant power an next to know lag as the acceleration is bang on but will lack a bit top end power and mph

    it will need both handling,and some decent power,otherwise there wouldnt be much point in it being a track car,lol!

    ct9 at 1 bar would probobly be ok for awile.
