    I spotted this on Speedhunters yesterday and messaged Joel to see if it was you lol!

    If you're very eagle eyed in the early pics on that story, you'll see the drivers side and rear end actually pop up in 2 other pictures - the early pictures with the R34 Skylines! :thumbsup:

    It looked like a hell of a meet!!!!!!!

    How can I make my 1996 N/a EP91 starlet faster?

    Haven driven mine as an N/A for about 5 or 6 years before turboing it, I can tell you there aren't a whole pile of options for making a lot more grunt out of the N/A engine unless you want to spend a lot of money.

    Some of the more common upgrades include a tubular intake manifold from a bug-eyed Corolla, these come up for sale pretty often and do make a nice improvement. You could couple that with the likes of a K&N panel filter or a full upgraded filter system of some sort (BMC etc). There are a few exhaust manifold options available aftermarket also.

    But where you will likely see the most difference is in weight reduction. You're unlikely to get huge HP numbers from the N/A block, plenty have tried over the years but even getting to the magical 100HP mark has proven difficult and costly for some, but if you couple some small HP gains with a weight reduction you might get more smiles for your efforts.

    Class! This one was on here under a previous owner.

    I am of course a bit biased but it is very hard to beat an EP91 in factory 8L5! Glanza bumper and front lip look real well!

    Is the optional extra TRD Carbon Dial Surround REAL carbon fibre?

    He was located in Hong Kong, Joz went out and met him once I believe.

    He was a complete one man band, he had a beast of a yellowy-green Glanza with late spec front end, and he was handy to a local TRD shop as he sent me a brand new short shifter for cost and shipping, amazing. But sadly he is long out of the scene.

    The TRD interior panels command their price because they dont come up for sale that terribly often - that said, they are no more expensive now than they were when I bought mine over 10 years ago.
