Starlet Nath

Well today was the day that Starletsy and myself removed my 4EFE Now I have been removing bits here and there for ages so the engine was just ready to come out. Firstly we took the weight of the engine with the engine crane using the hook lifting point to right hand rear and the power steering pump bracket. The reason we used this was because there didn't seem to be another lifting point!!! I then took out the bolt out of the rear lower engine mount and at this point the engine rolled forward. So we decided we would change our lifting points, we kept the one on the power steering pump bracket and hooked the other end round the rear mount bracketry. Then all we had to do was remove the bolt for the left side engine mount and the right side gearbox/engine mount. We then just lowered it down with a bit of jiggery pokery Once on the ground we lifted up the front of my car with the engine crane, put the front wheels back on and then pushed it back over the engine and then lowered it back down. I have to say a very public big thank again to Simon for coming round with engine crane and helping me drop it out!!!! Thanks matey Your a star as always Don't forget to ring me when your ready for a hand Oh yeah an Si brought me round some more toys, but can't say too much but you'll just have to wait and see Anyway here's some more pictures for you all And Starletsy didn't even smile for the camera

Happy Birthday matey I hope you having a wkd birthday Nath

Hello peeps, As the title suggests I'm dropping out my 4EFE this Sunday and anyone who wants it for spares can have it!!!! Its not really worth a great deal & I just want rid I live in Doncaster, South Yorkshire Its a 4EFE with gearbox its done just over 100,000 and before I took my car off the road it ran sweet as a nut. Anyway, anyone who wants it can either PM me or email me Nath

Looking really nice man Welcome to UKSC

Wash your mouth out

Alright Jozman, Yeah its been going on long enough now, its time to get it finished!!!! Won't be quite a street sleeper, but you'll all see soon enough Plus I got to prove the people wrong who think I won't ever get it done

Personally I didn't rate the Koni's as they didn't seem a very good shock. Plus the fronts are inserts so you have to butcher the original front shocks by cutting off the tops and drilling holes in the bottom. JMO Nath

Yeah its fun to drive, we've had it about 2 months now. Came to JAE in it, but it stayed in the car park!!! Didn't think they'd let me in to park on UKSC stand Its even got an IPOD adapter so I can play all my CD collection witout taking it with me At the minute its our new toy til I get my Starlet finished

Looks well nice matey Its good to see someone going their own original route and not being afraid to stand out from the crowd Keep it up matey Nath

Looking good Jozman Am very impressed, all the exterior addons flow really well with each other Coming on really nicely matey Nath

Good luck with it all matey Nath P.S If you need owt give us a shout

Welcome to UKSC buddy

Hello Geo Well I'm hoping I'll be fully stripped out and repairs done to bodywork and ready to be painted by the end of this year. Which will leave me about 6 months to get it built up run in and mapped for JAE 2007 As for getting about we've got an old run around Rover 200 for work and a brand new Grande Punto Sporting for best

CHEEKY!!

Hello peeps, Well as many of you know I've had my little SR for 7 years and for quite a few of them I was wanting to convert it to a 4EFTE. Well my project is well under way, I got my 98 spec Glanza front cut in March 2005 from our friend Swayal or J-Directorate admittedly minus a few parts it had on when I agreed to buy it but hey ho!!!! Since then and before I have been collecting many performance parts to reach my goal(which is in my head, like most things!!!) So the story so far is, my starlet has been SORN'd off the road since February 2005 and stood for quite a while doing nothing. Until I'd got the few jobs done I was told I had to do(for the boss!!). Then early this year I started to strip half heartedly a bit here and a bit there until about June. During June we had a BBQ at our house and one of my mates and my Father in-law started ripping it out of me about my car. As most of you who love & take pride in your cars can imagine I wasn't best pleased with this so I thought "huh I'll show you" SO......... I finished off uninstalling my Clifford Concept 500 with the help of the wiring diagram, making lots of notes and labelling everything up so I can put it back on when I've got the Glanza's dash in!!! I then disconnected all the connectors from the dash loom to under bonnet etc and then removed the dash. I then stripped off all the bits and pieces off the engine that would prevent me from dropping it out inc removing the under bonnet loom for the lights which included the fusebox. Also drained and removed the power fluid reservoir as once all the engine is removed the bay will be totally stripped for respray!!! Finally I unbolted and pulled out the drive shafts from the hubs ready for dropping down my 4efe which hopefully will be this weekend!!! The only real problems I have had is with all my bolts as they have had 8 years of uk roads abuse eg the dreaded salt. Because they are rusted like they are it takes a while to get them out, but at long as you take your time going in & out in small amounts with plenty of easing oil they come out ok. Rush it and they just snap off!!! Anyway I have rabbited on enough now, here are a few pics

Looks nice matey, just seen these picks as Baz has just sent them to me LOL

Hello Peeps, I'm not sure what evryone else thinks, but I think if we all donate a little bit of money we could get ourselves a proper banner & flag etc for Shows. 1. It looks good 2. People will be able to find us easier(especially with the flag) Nath
