After all this unfortunately it was time to move on.

Thanks for all the positive comments and constructive criticism!

My new ride is a 2011 (60) honda crz gt!

This car is now sold! Gone to a mate of mine... He will be joining ukso very soon hopefully!

Year:1985

Model:starlet gl

Tax: till 30/6/2014

MOT:about 1 month will end in july

Mileage: 57000

Description:

My much beloved ep70 needs to find a new home, as many of you will know from my build thread it has been in my ownership since April 2010 on my 16th birthday.

I have roughly pumped around 3k into making sure this car is right!

It had just last year:

2 new wings

New front valance

Rear arches rebuilt (couple of bubbles have come through

New brake discs and pads to the front

New shoes at the back

New alternator belt

New starter motor

New brake hoses front ad rear

Overhauled calipers

Corroded brake pipe cut away and replaced

Brakes bled and flushed

Clutch master cylinder o rings replaced

Clutch bled and new fluid

New track rod ends

New lower ball joints

New timing belt (not yet fitted, will be included in sale comes with tensioner)

Full rolling road carb tune

Stainless exhaust system

New points

Condenser

Plugs

Leads

Dizzy cap

Rotor arm

Lowering springs all round

Rear shocks and top mounts

Front shocks (not fitted)

Soft cut rev limiter

Whilst in my ownership it has also had

New clutch slave

New alternator

Used replacement carb

As you may know the cars paint was all rattle cam however it looks stunning those of you who were at japfest will agree!

The interior is all imaculate and original other than the steering wheel however I do have the original still available

The car is lowered 40 mm on pi springs.

If I get the asking price I will include the lenso bsx alloys and nankang ns2 tyres that were fitted probably only 1000 miles ago! Otherwise it will have he e30 bottle top's put back on.

It has a 2 inch custom stainless exhaust system from the manifold back! Just one powerflow box, sounds immense, especially now it has a rev limiter fitted!

The original centre caps will come with the car as will a nice selection of spare parts for under the bonnet!

Bad points

Boot lid needs respraying

Cambelt need fitting

Few little bubbles on the rear arches, and the odd age related scratch but it's gorgeous none the less!

Price: 1600

I know it's high but I can't really let it go too much lower

I will be open to negotiations

However if you want it I will expect a 10% deposit via PayPal to secure the car.

I will be loathed to refund the deposit if you waste my time!

Will post more pics of her here in due course....

Location:

The car is based in Stoke on trent near j15 of the m6

Reason for sale:

I wish I could keep this car forever but I have just entered full time employment, I have courses up and down the country I will be visiting customer houses.

I have just secured a 2011 honda crz gt!

If i could store the ep70 and keep it, I really would.

Don't let that scare you off the car, it's fast fun and reliable! It should fly through an mot no problem and actually returns about 35-40 mpg!

Thanks

James

If the sale falls through Id be very interested!

Bumpy bump bump! Open to offers!

Bump

Item For Sale:

D1 spec blue wheel nuts full set 20!

BMW e30 bottle top wheels

Micron exhaust silencer

Item Condition & Description:

D1 spec nuts are in a respectable used condition.... but by no means are they new

The e30 wheels were refurbished before I had them very quickly... have a couple of curb marks bit still a nice looking set of wheels for the money. Come with 3 remoulds that have done less than a thousand miles each.... However these are remoulds so would probably be best to remove them! The other tyre is perfectly legal but again a cheap brand.

Exhaust silencer was bought at a bike show with the intention of it going on the back of the ep70! But having a stainless exhaust system built put an end to that one!! 65mm entry would look mint sticking out of the back of any jap car... should make a nice sound too being a race can!

Price:

D1 spec nuts £20 posted

Wheels £50 or nearest offer collected

Silencer £65 posted

Double post!

First video shows the car hitting the limiter at about 5250rpm... so only made 68bhp.

Second video has the limiter set at about 6750rpm so the car could reach peak power at 5800! Made a lovely 70.7! Will round that to 71bhp!

Thanks buddy... appriciate it!

Here are the videos of my first and third pull on the dyno at japfest.

Need good speakers or headphones to hear it properly!

Thanks to everyone who made japfest the amazing event that it was!

Here are some amazing photos I've liberated from social networks and photo bucket!

Thanks again!

If anyone caught a good snap of my blue ep70 that would be lovely to see!

I know a fair few of you took some!!

I really do need to video the exhaust.... its just finding someone to hold the camera! Maybe I will find a willing volunteer at japfest!!

^^ as above.. class looking car you have there.. fair play

I actually love this car

Thanks lads, need perfecting still, these old girls take some lovin'

Hoped to have so much more done pre japfest..... Looks like it's going down with craised paint on the boot lid, no spoiler and no splitter!

But she will be clean!!

I'm convoying with 3 turbo starlets all the way from home.... So I'll have my grumbly 2e engine, my limiter and 3 spooling loonatics !!!

Maybe some chase and status if I get bored!

Double post from me..... Here it is.... No more used wheels for me...

Took some better photos when I got home

Went to go and detail grandads juke for him, well just give it a polish! Parked on the drive! Looked like a super miniature japfest!

Spent 120quid in halfords topping up the cleaning supplies, so that I can get ready for japfest..... That was a Painful transaction to make after you have just spent 600 on wheels and tyres!

Let the cleaning commence!!

Comments welcome as always... Spacers will be fitted on the back when I have the time!!

Nangkangs are pretty good tires, I used to run NS1's and 2's years ago - they actually get a bit better once you've worn them in

I'm really looking foward to getting rid of my remoulds and having some new performance tyres, although I think I will miss the e30 bottle tops that I thnk are going to a friend if he wants them!!!

A little bit more progress today!

Ordered these tyres

Nankang ns2 185/45/r15

Really good tyre apparently!!

Wouldn't be right to buy tyres for 15 inch wheels when I have 14's fitted,

So I thought I should order some new wheels to put them on!!

15x7.5 lenso bsx wheels are on their way with black centres!

Should look really smart on the car...... Moment of truth is Monday morning!!

Saw this on ebay! Wanted it for the reg plate!

Hope to have this parked next to mine at japfest!!

Had this shiny new exhaust made, this is manifold back 2" stainless steel. It has one box in the centre and a 2.25" rolled out tip.

Sounds absolutely nasty.

Growls at all revs and really turns heads, it also spits and pops when you lift off the throttle especially in second and third!

Finally got all the new suspension fitted! It's 40mm down on pi lowering springs.

Needs loads doing to it before japfest, new tyres, paint touch ups, rear spoiler and also the megane front splitter.

Started these little jobs by taking off the rocker cover that looked like it had been smacked with a hammer and re spraying the old one in the blue of the body

Here are two links showing the car in action. With the new custom stainless exhaust

Both are best watched on a PC with good speakers or through headphones.

Dyno run, car made 70bhp, I'm told with an oil change and after a running in period to expect 74!

A run out in the car, multi storey car park, a few minutes of boring suburb driving and then a little open road!

Enjoy!

More pics to come!!

Pm me buddy!

Alright guys and gals

Want a strut brace nice and cheap, starting to look at getting the ep70 looking shit hot for japfest!

As long as it's solid I don't really care about the condition I can get it looking sweet!

Also I could do with some new rubber, got shitty remoulds on, if anyone has some cool wheels with fairly decent tyres for anything upto 250 I'll take them at the end of the month, pm me pics!

Thanks guys!

Really getting excited for this now! Cars going in for a tune up, doing a few touch ups next week! Getting a splitter fitted! And there maybe a surprise in store for the ep70!!

Me and a couple of stoke based lads will be making our way to meet you all at the m5 meeting point!!

I have a couple more updates to come

Love it! So subtle! Just need to drop it and get a nasty exhaust on and it will be the business looking forward to more updates on this!

The car is now dropped by 40mm and has a nasty as hell 2 inch stainless exhaust with just one silencer!

I have bought 2 megane splitters, so there will be one on the ep70 soon! And if I don't bugger one up there will be one up for grabs if anyone wants it!

Really nice project man! Love these little motors! Have a real soft spot for mg's

Nice to see what you get out of it!
