yeah cool it was part of the full gasket set i had, but i put an athena one on mine so its spare, there about £45 postage new so save yourself a few quid Its genuine toyota also

that is a really good price, GLWTS

Well where you see those cracks, once you take the rings off that piece of metal actually comes off as one chunk like mine below Mine was only down on compression on one cylinder but when i took them all out, two of the pistons had the same problem, with a big chunk of the ringland coming off. I wouldnt really advise driving it as your pistons are going up and down with a chunk of loose metal being held in place literally just becase the cylinder wall is there. If its breaks apart it will score your block and completly ruin your engine. My block was fine when i inspected it and all it needed was two new standard pistons and then a new set of rings for good measure. I decided to Forge mine while it was apart but it wasnt cheap, rods and pistons on their own were about £900. If you want to put it back together standard you can do it for a couple of hundred quid. Standard pistons you can get on here for next to nothing You need a head gasket (I have a spare you can have for £30) New head bolts £30 New piston rings £60 aftermarket for £100 toyota genuine Hone the bores and deglase £40 but while you have it in bits you might as well put new bottomend bearings in for £80 Have a nice fresh engine then

Any excessive vapour coming from your rocker breather or it blowing oil is a major sign to say the ringlands have failed on 1 or more pistons. It happened to me recently and to be honest its a big job to strip it, although you can check it with the engine still in the bay. If it has gone then its an engine out job as you will need to replace the pistons (you can get them for peanuts on here) and you may as well stick new rings on while its apart. You will also need to deglaze your bores for the new rings to bed in, which is why it needs to come out The car can still run perfectly with this problem, but if you compression test it, i bet my balls its low on one of them. Here check out this video of me taking mine apart, you have the same problem.

Ok info updated

The only thing the FCD is to lock the voltage so the fuel cut never cuts in, the only thing i can assume the dial does is adjust the voltage at which it locks. This is probably so it can be used on more than one car? Get a pic up of it

Item Condition: Good Price and price conditions: £50 (VERY heavy, collection preffered but will post at an pre agreed price) Extra Info: Block is no longer needed after going 5e, you will get the bare block and the crank caps for £50 and any attached sensors. I can also throw in the oil pump, pulleys, belt, water pump for an extra £20 quid. Pictures: Contact Details: PM me Location: Swansea

Item Condition: 4EFTE Crank with caps Price and price conditions: £100 + £10 delivery Extra Info: 4EFTE crank, its in mint condition, no scores, no marks and its never been reground, from a working engine at the time before strip. Pictures: Contact Details: PM me Location: Swansea

that is actually quite cool

there is also an ep40 Publica Starlet 40 series for 1973

I just ran a custom exhuast system from front to back at 2.5" with a flexi in the middle and a box on the back, Its very reasonable and not chav loud, but has a nice note when you boot it Was about £250 for a complete system fitted. Oh and it was about 85db at 4000rpm

When i bought my Ep70 Starlet last year, I bought it from a Magazine who were originally doing a feature on it and was one of the reasons why it was in good nick when i bought it. I got an email from him today asking if anyone with Ep70's wanted to attend a photo shoot in Rockingham on May 16th to get in the magazine! Problem being is that I didnt have the heart to tell him that i had ruined his completly stock gem and put race kit in it!! Maybe i should send him a pic for Lols In any case if anyone has got a stock Ep70 they wanted to show off in a mag hes looking for people. If i didnt change the wheels he would never of known, I have unfortnatly binned the 14" orginal rims now (knew i should of kept them!)

that spoiler is the nuts!

What exactly has gone on the head, it might not be as expensive to repair as you think?

yeah if they don't you can take one Monday as long as they turn up

well its actually being delivered on Monday, I am not 100% sure if the machine shop needs all 4 pistons when they machine my block to oversize, in any case I am taking it all down to the machine shop on Monday/Tuesday to have it back on Wed. So you are welcome to borrow it for the day if you are super careful with it! Taken me bloody ages to finally get the things!!

your in luck son i have one well 4 actually lol oh and i live in Swansea

yeah I agree with above, research it and learn how to build it your self. It will be much more rewarding and you will save you a big whack of money which you can pour back into the build

yeah i fitted my own aerocatches last year and its alot of work, to do it properly without fucking it up it took me and a mate over 4 hours to fit them with a jigsaw.

Im so happy im gonna knock one out in celebration

thank god!

Wow is all i can say, cant believe you have managed to get this thing back on the road, looking at that first pic you would have thought it was ripe for the scrap factory! Good effort
