Dont see why not mate! Will get the launch control on the go aswell Tom
-
should go something like this when you get it mapped mate 30 - 100 on private land of course
-
tial mate! why dont you just get a boost controller? gizmo ms2 has boost control, fcd, and turbo timer all rolled into 1 and it cheap!! £200
-
Its been a while since its been used so thought i might give it a service and bring it out! Sounds like your doing good with yours mate! Whos mapping it for you mate? i would still recommend going to AFR tuning matt did wonders on mine!
-

evening all!! Bit of a sad update I've decided over the last week that i need to sell the starlet!! Im wanting to get on the property ladder and i cant do that by having 2 cars! so 1 needs to go and sadly its the little 1.3!! The car is now on the starlets for sale section for any of you that might be interested!! Really wanted to keep it and do what i said i wanted to do on the last post but i need to think practically and having 2 cars is not practical!! Would just like to thank you all for the amayzing comments and all the help I've received from you all!! Cheers Tom
-
Black GTs are the way forward!! glad to see you got a near standard example mate, they are getting pretty rare these days!! Bit of advice mate for your nxt mod, get a rear anti roll bar completely changes the handling of the car!! best mod that i ever put on mine for handling! Tom
-
Omar - Glad it helped mate, yh I've always wanted one!! just the insurance was holding me back but now i can start using it on renewal as its alot cheaper now lol!! Sparky - Couldnt hold it in any longer lol!! will be in the starlet for japfest all being well if your goin? Tom

Afternoon all!! Update for you all!! Thought i would let you know its nearly time to bring this out Its been in storage for nearly a yr now and the time has nearly come to get it inusred and retire the starlet to a track/meet car!! Plan is to make this around 350bhp for the road and carry on with build on the starlet!! i doubt there will be any updates for a while as I've got things to do on the evo first and insure it which is going to hurt my pockets But rest assured the starlet will be forged caged restored and 300bhp for the track for the late summer time!! Will keep an eye out

Hi there mate! you could do with a few things that are not said on these post My personal spec is: Race Tech TD04 kit, comes with everything apart from gaskets and bolts but they are easy sourced from Tm Developments FMIC ( Jperformance ones are ideal!! easy to modify to your TD04 ) Gizzmo boost controller Walbro fuel pump 380 cc injectors RRFPR Tm Developments rocker cover and oil catch tank ( Advised for running a bar of boost or over) Cat back exhaust HKS VPRO ECU ( said to be the best ecu for a starlet but an emanage blue or ultimate would be fine ) TRD leads ( magnicor will also be

looking tidy sparky!!! keep it up mate!! will look forward to seeing it when its done!! Cheers Tom
-
Cheers Omar!! I chose the ms2 because its a complete turbo management unit i.e. turbo timer boost controller and a FCD if it was needed! basically i didnt want a clotted dash with loads of different switches gauges so on and so forth, plus Dave at TM Developments advised they were well up to the task of what i needed!! Plus on the Gizzmo sight they have a 9 second skyline that uses one of them units so pretty sure its going to be able to handle the little boost the starlets have!! Another plus side is the price at 200 notes and its nice and compact!! It also does the main thing you want it to

Will get the vids up soon! Will have another go Ricky!! And yes Enrico the injectors did the trick mate can't wait to get it forged and wack the boost up to 1.5 bar!!
-
Put a review on the site for you ricky!! didnt put to much thought id let the results and the build thread do the talking for me lol!! Went to AFR tuning again and got injectors and reg fitted and map adjusted to bring the cycle rate down! feels even smoother on part throttle!!! Now also have the launch control and anti lag set up properly on the vpro .5 bar of boost stood still!! not to mention the pops and bangs Had a few races which i can report on!!! Mates Supra 380 bhp twin turbo ( Sat level with it to about 120 but then needed to brake!! ) Mates Seat Ibiza 290 bhp ( 2nd level 3rd p

lol gotta keep you thinking sparky!! its bin sat in the garage getting started up twice a week because i was a nob and bought it before i could insure it!! bought the starlet originally just for gettin from A to B for the year but i couldnt help myself from adding a few bits lol!! All will be revealed soon enough though
-
Cheers lads! Will get them posted up with the new graph when i get back!! just need to get the brakes and a forge build then track prep it for feb march time!! Then i will let you all in on a little secret I've been keeping for the last year!!!
-
Little update gents!! As some of you may know had my car mapped at AFR tuning and made 230 bhp but with the injectors maxed at 100% cycle rate lol! So recently received a set of 380 cc injectors from a lad off the forum riko666 ( top lad ) and ordered a RRFPR from TM developments to bring the cycle rate down so its a bit safer!! Booked in at AFR this monday for fitment and a retune! Will update with results when i mapping is done Cheers Tom

Sorry mate only just saw this! No if yu compress the spring that won't make any difference In height only the spring rate! You need to wind the top 2 rings down so the spring becomes loose, not to much though, inch tops! This just means the spring rate on the rear will not be adjustable as your sacrificing it for a lower ride height! It also means your loosig some suspesion travel but I've had no issue in doin this! Hope this helps bud! Cheers Tom
-
lol if i get something else then its going to be something that i defo wont get bored of TRUST ME! spose i could just have 2 cars though
-
cheers for the comments chaps! Sparky - yes mate the standard brakes are pants!! some Willwoods will be on the cards after the fuel reg and injectors and no dont have an lsd mate, think i need one because traction is a bit of an issue lol going to get it forged after xmas with an lsd then decide whether to sell up or keep going!
