What top mounts did you go for in the end?

There are some KYB rear ones on ebay which I am going to order! I have used the originals on the front! Need to replace the rear ones at the same time as the shocks and springs!

Looks great!

Thanks man! Lots of time and money going into this despite not being turbzzz yet!!

This car may become a weekend toy in the summer and be purely a hobby if I can get my hands on a good honda crz! If so the ep70 will be converted to either 4age with a supercharger or 5efte.

The local scrap yard was trying to sell me a 3sge engine the other day?

where did you find brand new panels? looks well lad, good project:)

Actually got one of the wings from my local toyota garage, and the other off ebay! The valance was found on a google search for £36!

Thanks lads

Pretty of progress updates to come!!

List of things to sort.

New bearing

New bushes

New cv boots

Fit new suspension

Lovely new ticking sound from under the bonnet

And to top it all off, I am going to have to do the new suspension tomorrow rather than when the weather warms up! Doesn't near side coil has snapped!

Sounds promising! Need to spread the word guys!

I only live 45-55 mins from Alton towers so for me it's a breeze to get there! Maybe meet somewhere first so we can convoy onto the car park!!!

There is a big b&q warehouse about 20-30 minutes from there with a good size car park to meet on!!

Pm sent westie

Sorry to hi jack this but if you have any knowledge on this hinchy I'd love to know!!!

Pm'd

After having a look through the forum I very much like the idea of an Alton towers day!

Really nice and central in the country! A real bring your partners kinda meet! Some fairly nice roads around that neck of the woods too!

Shout out if your interested in doing this the first weekend in June!!

Hi guys

Want a strut brace to fit the ep70!

Was offered a oem brace on here for 20 posted! A week or so back!

Thanks fellas

Car is now booked in on Monday for some pretty vital work!

4 new wishbone bushes, 2 cv boots and a front wheel bearing!

To go with the lovely new suspension I will be ordering new top mounts just so that there is nothing left to go wrong! (And to make fitting so much faster)

Also on Wednesday the car is taking a little trip to a place called unique exhausts! For a manifold back stainless system, no cat and only one box with either 2 or 2.5 inch pipe!

Will post the results as soon as I know how good or bad they are!!

so lovely! really nice find!

There's 2 different size bushes for the front wishbones.

31 and 34mm

I think later cars had the 31mm and early gt's had the 34mm so you would need to check to see what your 70 has really. That or order both and sell the set you don't need?

brilliant thanks buddy, will look into that!

taggys car went back to him today!

maybe interested on payday ill let you know on the 28th!

the powerflex ones from the ep80/90 are rumoured to fit but i just dont know!

hi all

at the age of 28 my starlet is in need of some more loving!

many of the suspension bushes are...... knackered

i have been led to believe that ep80 and 90 bushes for the front wishbones, rear axle and rear torsion bar will fit!

is this true! the ones for the ep70 are now discontinued and im struggling to get them

i dont want to spend £305 on a complete set of powerflex ones to be fair.

thanks

my starlet ep70!

dont know what people would pay for it!

new wings and valance, restored rear arches

53k miles on the shell, unknown on the 2e engine!

will have all new suspension fitted 40mm lower

bmw bottle tops with good tyres

rebuilt brakes recently

had new front passenger wheel bearing, will do drivers side too!

dont get too excited i doubt i will sell, espcially with japfest in just a couple of months!

stoke on trent! im within 25 miles of ya!

payday (28th jan) ill take that off your hands fella!

Ha ha series70boy were was it for sale ?

You don't happen to have any spare parts do you ?

i saw it on ebay and thought it would be a good spare for me! or was gonna keep it untill i needed parts from it!

and i dont bud, i have a couple of little things but nothing that i want to get rid of!

need this at japfest! i want to see the potential of mine! might spur me on for some conversion fun!

I have one of those large rev gauges In the forsal section if it takes your fancy it can come with a free oem strut brave ha

the gauge is not quite what im after buddy to be fair! being really fussy over the ep70!

you have a strut brace then??

here you go folks! the one you have all being waiting for!

lowering springs have arrived along with 4 new shock absorbers!!

i have also treated myself to a pair of speakers, the spare (to be fitted on the drives side) and an original!

nice advice thanks fellas! might do that at some point!

alright folks!

after a few bits that will fit the ep70!

looking for a strut brace (standard glanza or aftermarket)

steering wheel: trd leather, nardi leather or wood rimmed!

rpm gauge! dont want any of the tack multicoloured shite on ebay! about 30-40 quid!

any other little bits you think i might be interested in maybe wrth posting in here!

in no desperate rush for anything!

thanks!
