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

Changes before Japfest 2 that are planned:

-Set boost at 1.0bar

-Civic dual core alloy rad, fresh red coolant

-CAP Clutch rated to 265ft/lb

-Standard Brembo vented front discs (ungrooved/undrilled)

-EBC RedStuff Pads

-Braided brake lines

-High Bpt Race brake fluid

-40mm PI lowering springs

-3 point OEM rear strut brace

-C-Pillar brace

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,

That's the thing tho, there's only very few flash cars I would spend my money on. And at the end of the day, whats more important? A wallet on wheels, or something you actually adore?

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 think the qustion should be, what wouldnt you do lol

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 would love to drive one to see what the difference actually is.

id like to get hold of a 2.2 fit uprated oil & water pump, acl bearings, arp bolts, stand alone managment, ITB's with some agressive cams and i think you could see close to 300bhp with a 10-11k rev limit

rob2.2, off topic a little, but how do you find the F22? I was always curious to see the differences between them would be.

A little more low down grunt and a lower rev limit is what I read, is is really noticeable?

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

But im guessing you mean standard ap2 wheels? as the ap1 wheels are gay and 15'' lol

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

TPS adjustment.

Cams.

All of the above should answer your questions.

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

just a thing to check for free is the earth on the ignitor, mine had a dodgy one and played havoc with the car. i took the ignitor off, cleaned all the mounting points to the bracket and also made a little earth strap to the bulk head. after doing this it was absolutly fine. like i said, its worth a try as it costs nothing to do!

thanks ill look for the timing marks

theres the main dot through the cam pully then on the spokets theres dots that should line up so the inlet is in time with the exhaust cam mate

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

TPS = Throttle position sensor

Try another set of leads to rule them magnecors out. Ive had 2 sets fail on me.

whats TPS?

ignition timing and cam timing is fine

leads are :magnacore and look in good condition

TPS adjusted ok?

Ignition timing ok?

Cam timing ok?

What leads are you running?
