mx5 nutz is a great club , i had a mk1 eunos over a year ago. your glanza on that much boost must of been on close to breaking point no? was it reliable ?

CT9 HYBRID front mount 13-14psi boost cat (missing internals) cat back exhaust stock civic rad (soon to be raplaced with ally one) sticky tyres LOTS OF RIGHT FOOT

dual core rad a must, i had to end mytracktime af japfest 1 early due to everheating other then that it was great. the rest isnt a must just nice ot haves IMO

id say £250-300 max no matter what make tbh all depends on if you can find someone who really wants a yaris carbon bonnet tbh, if not its worthless,

seek citizens advice but all depends on your contract details, i was an apprentice at 17 doing mechanics and i got saked on the spot, seeked advicce and was told as an apprentice then i had virtually no rights like a temp worker good luck mate

fair comment but can you really adore a starlet? i know i dont but thats just me, but mines a cheap bit of fun. a r34 gtr pushing 700bhp looking rude the n fair play, im gutten for the guy who's caught fire as that pretty much is my dream car. my flash car wish list: R34 GTR (mental spec), yellow 458 italia, pagani zonda, genuine andy roush btcc rs500 sierra cosworth, rolls royce phantom,

no offence to everyone that loves starlets but definately wouldnt still have a starlet as it would look stupid parked in the garage with the gt race cars and pagani zonda

i would own a private island somewhere with a racetrack and a collection of cool cars

bump

thanks was my first time on track in the starlet and first time really giving it that much loud pedal in anger, i love being on track and thinking of turing the starbo into a little stripped out track slag now

i ragged the tits of mine at japfest on track today to the point it overheated and boiled most of its coolant at least i know have some work to do on it lol

yh i was in the 10.48 session just boiled the coolant, think it needs a new radiator as currently has a stock very old and tatty civic rad fitted, ally dual or tripple core will be found and fitted soon topped it up and drove home and it ran great so dont think any majour damage done,

post them up asap please dude, i didnt see where the uk starlet club stand was?

hey guys just wondering if anyone has any snaps of my car from japfest today black ep82 gt with white oz rims. BHZ2733 if so please post them up cheers

the 2.2 was mainly developed for the USA market but you can get hold of a jap import right hand drive 2.2 s2000 but there very rare, almost as rare a rocking horse droppings in fact. ive heard good things about the engines for turbo aplications but as a stock unit not that many people like them and there are virtually no 2.2 specific tuning parts available all the manifolds and parts are designed for 2.0 flow rates but will fit 2.2 as stub pattern is the same on the head. Honda's make all there power at top RPM so it would have to be a 2.0 litre screamer for me out of the 2 cars. but i wo

its a very often used mistake people thinking the s2k runs the same engine as a civic type r but hey, id prefere it to have a k20 as you could then do a k24 transpant and k series engine react better to N/A tuning where as the s2k f20 will only ever gain 20-30 bhp without spending thousands , honda designed it pretty much on the limit of its performance ability so you need to change lots of internal and bolt on bits to gain big BHP

standard ap1 wheels are 16" mate ap2 are 17" 15" wheels wont fit over 300mm brakes

itb's are a complete waste of time and money mate, youll see 300bhp max with a HUGE bill for doing it, you would have to make it a mental N/A build with stage 3 cams, lightened crank, lightened flywheel, injectors, ecu, manifold, de-cat and cat back system with a stupid 10-11k rev limit to make it worth doing. Supercharger will get you 350 at the wheels for £5k or get a mase turbo kit from the states for 400bhp plus depending on set-up nice car but unfortunately even being rare pre-facelift models are droppin in value mine is pretty rare too but got a steal aswell

megane for the win i have a laguna front splitter under my ep82 gt factory lip

gotta be the man MarcMoss thats one sick looking little starlet turbo loving the cam and photo edditing skills

thanks much appreciated

i agree that ditching the turob and going n/a would be a big set-back, but throttle bodies with a enclosed air-box and turbo set-up would be of benefit, you would have amazing throttle response just like a N/A on throttle bodies but keep all the benefits of boost. WIN WIN situation

thanks ill give it a try thanks ill look for the timing marks

gonna hopefully be working on this tomorrow so: how do i check adjust TPS? where are the timing markings on the dizzy? wheere are the timing marks on the cams as im taking the inlet one out to fit the service pin and re-fit? cheers rob

whats TPS? ignition timing and cam timing is fine leads are :magnacore and look in good condition
