  1. This power to weight table will give you an idea of standard and tuned versions, also has the Punto GT on it....................you will easily notice how much further down the list it is compared to the Glanza click me
  2. Some good and bad gestimates there but i can reveal the winner is.................................................. Dean-JDM-ep*1 and was only £8 out! My actual quote i got was.................... £188 Sorry, thats probably going to upset some of you that are paying alot more money ;) Dean wins a passenger ride in the beast, when i get it all up and running we will have to sort out a meet/event you will be at and i will bring it along Jason
  3. /\ thanks mate, see these are the comments i like so much *** Small Update *** Last Saturday i managed to get up to TGT and have a little look round the car and get a few bits painted, i didn't bother painting loads of it as he still has some welding to do on the frame. its getting there though, although still a long way off! I believe he may have done some more this week but i didn't get a chance to speak to him before he went on holiday Sort of looks alot more racey now and should go some when its done. Well James is on Holiday now for 2 weeks so no more update for a little bit but
  4. I had a 1.2 75 sx punto before i bought the lexus(technically not a glanza but still toyota engine) the punto i had was constantly being repaired and fixed and in the end i just got rid of it, the old jokes are true! FIAT = Fix It Again Tomorrow ;) Toyota are known for their good reliable engine's, as with everything there a a few bad ones but as long as its serviced when it should be and looked after you will be fine
  5. Ok guys and Gals, I have just called up Adrian Flux (kitcar department) to ge my first quote on the 'Demon' and was suprissed with the outcome ;) Thought i would have a bit of fun and see who can guess closest? I expalined everything with them over the phone that i could and here are some finer details for you to help guestimate........... For those of you that don't know this is the car i got a quote on........ * fully comp * £100 excess * 3000 miles per year * All mods declared including the 4EFTE engine * Roughly 350BHP per tonne * £3500 value So let the guess
  6. Must say i think you post more in this topic than me This is posted on several forums and this is my farourite forum as you guys always have some funny comments and always something to say on the build! so thanks everyone ;)
  7. Updates needed I update this thread weekly!!!! I thought you guys would of had enough of this by now??? Anyway i will update with pictures tomorrow ;) Jason
  8. Almost died of laughter watching the 3rd EP82 vid, that guy in the passenger seat looks like he wants to rape the driver
  9. Now that seems completely unfair! Personnaly i thought you would get more of a punishment doing 128mph! I don't get how they work out some of these punishments? If you do get let of lightly molovin then you are a lucky guy. Im not saying you should get more/less at the end of the day its up to them what they give you. and yes we all speed
  10. Thanks mate Im now toying with the idea of putting a MR2 Turbo lump into it But that will be at a later date.......... Who changed the title of this thread to 'Insane 4efte powered buggy of death' LOL
  11. Dam 28 day ban and £380 fine! If thats all you get then your a lucky guy!
  12. LOL, far from it! My job pays ok but im far from made of money This has been built up over the last 5 years so i have been spending on it a little at a time. I have only recently started spending on the 'Demon', hence why spending has stopped on this. Im currently well into my overdraft so have to slow up on the 'Demon' for a few months now................although this week i have picked up some absolute bargains will explain more soon
  13. Few more i found from JAE last year and the rear carbon brace
  14. Thanks for comments guys, not the most modified lexus by a long shot, plus i have now put a stop on any more stuff on the car. Its just not built for speed so no point spending thousands to get any more power out of it, plus no point also when i have the 'Demon'. Its not too bad getting it sideways, takes a bit of work getting it there and it doesn't reaaly have the power to hold a drift but its a nice comfortable car for every day
  15. Well most of you have now seen 'Project Deathwish' but for those interested here is what i drive day to day. Lexus IS200 s in Astral Black now for the mods.............. * 18' Inch Kei Velocity's in Hyper Black * Tein Super Street Coilovers with top mounts and EDFC unit * Cusco Carbon front strut brace * Cusco carbon rear strut brace * Cusco under chassis braces (front and back) * Uprated cream leather interier with Lexus logo stitched into head rests * B&M short shifter * HKS Hiper exhaust *Apexi induction kit with custom Carbon pipework *Black oil catch tank *Carbon fibre air ram pipe
  16. Well the GT cost me £600........... since then i have spent £15 on a K&N filter Thats it so far, but technically its no longer a GT
  17. Next time im up at TGT working on the 'Demon' i will try and get lots of engine pics for you. Don't know if this will help though as the engine ain't in a car
  18. I find this site very helpfull and the members are very friendly also. Im on several owners clubs for different cars and this seems to be one of the best tbh. Im on here on a daily basis and have learnt loads about the 4EFTE just from looking through posts etc Im also on TGTT but only been on there a handfull of times. I find the layout of this site great, especially the template for the 'For Sale' section. Makes sure everyone posts the same format and there is no stupid posts Thanks to all who have welcomed me into the fold also, even though i don't own a GT/glanza, just bits of one
  19. Somebody Save it I would buy it but i have already done my bit and bought a GT from a Chav to use on the beast
  20. How else would i take it At least im not normal
  21. Tell me about it, i know James (TGT owner) is very keen to get this done and use it as one of their show cars. He offered me a very good rate early on which is one of the reasons i went with him. He is charging me £20ph as there is some R&D work involved so he said he couldn't charge me full price. They usually charge £40ph, which to be honest is a great price anyway. Last time i spoke to him i owed him for 3 days work, that was before this. At the end of the day it takes as long as it takes and i have full faith in his work! Thanks mate i also keep forgeting how insa
  22. *** Phat Ass *** My bro went up to ToyotaGT today to check on his MR2 engine rebuild and while he was there he kindly got a few snaps for me of the buggy Looks like they have been cracking on with it again this week and her Ass is starting to get PHAT. My bro says it has almost the same wheelbase as a MR2 but looks alot smaller because there are no panels to it. Anyway here are the pictures.............. The last picture makes it look so mean now with the extra size Obviously there will be extra strengthening to be added and the chassis needs to be put back together fully
  23. Im sure there are other options??? However i believe there a quite a few people that have put the starlet GT engine into a N/A so if you get stuck you will have others to help you out. Have a look under the 'members rides' section and you will see plenty of engine swaps that have been done! I believe there are a few GT engines for sale in the sale section also
  24. 4EFTE is the way to go, i picked up a crash damaged GT for £600. After selling off all the bits i didn't need from the car plus my old engine etc i had everything i need for my project and it worked out that the bits i had left (engine, gearbox, wiring loom, ecu, driveshafts, V5C) only ended up costing me £150! The way to go if your going to do a engine swap if you ask me, there are loads of people after bits so you can easily get rid of most bits And when you want rid of the remains just tell people its free if they collect and the vultures will start circling
