Tidy car mate, GLWTS! -
I'm going to try and squeeze the most power possible out of my 5e. What is the most power anyone has got? I've seen a few Tercels and Cynos' on the US forum, also I have heard Jam built a sera, but can only find a few posts on it and no figures. The max I've seen is online is 137bhp, has anyone heard of anything higher?

Hello from a lonely Paseo owner...
Chris Green replied to RichardKSavage's topic in Welcome New Owners!
Welcome along pal. -
My Grandfather had one many years ago, (yes, you read that right lol) he had an r32, but didn't use it as a daily driver, it would entirely depend what you are going to use it for and what you want from it.

I've seen a yaris one before, it looks longer and narrower, could possibly be a civic one.
-
Nope its on mine as well haha I believe Mr Lang is gutted
-
I would love to take the centre vents out and mount gauges there. Would look awesome. I wouldn't want to attempt fibreglassing though. I've been following a build on Toronto Paseo club, the TPS only needs a bit of tweaking with the bodies I've gone for, shouldn't be too difficult. I'm hoping (famous last words)

Cheers haha, I liked them when I first put them in, but you can really see when driving. I'm consider moving them and getting cup holders my self, I miss the coffee on the way to work. Indeed, should be here in a couple of days Edit: Whooo 4 pages

This finally arrived: http://s1054.photobucket.com/user/cgreen1993/media/P1000155_zps57d04774.jpg.html'> Not a great pic though. Gave her a good wash http://s1054.photobucket.com/user/cgreen1993/media/P1000154_zpsde410bb8.jpg.html'> On with other news... I have purchased a nice unique part from a Triumph... Any guesses?

What did you do this time?

Bump

I am about to start the next stage of my build and I need a standard intake mani. Preferably in N/I so I can pick up.

I haven't updated this in a while. The piston rings have gone, so I have clouds of blue smoke. Instead of pulling the engine out, I'm going to take the head and sump off, disconnect the con-rods and pull the pistons out that way. I can't be assed with the hassle of pulling everying thing out. My Tomie FPR is not adjusting and its running rich a fook, haven't decided what FPR to go with yet, still stuck between FSE & Sard. So this leads me on to my next plans. Got a Cruise gear knob, I wasn't in when DHL came today so, its being delivered again on Monday. Once the above

I haven't checked if the block needs re-bored, by the looks of things there isn't much point getting it rebored. I'll just re-hone the bores when doing the rings and spend the money else where. Thanks again for the input guys.
-
Thanks for the input guys. Ive hear of people using Vitara pistons 75.5mm. I couldn't go forged as that would lower the compression.
-
As some of you may know, my engine needs to come out again, while I'm doing this, I want to increase the bore size. Question time 1) Has anyone done this before? 2) What is a safe increase in mm? 3) What pistons were used? 4) Any further cooling upgrades required? Thanks in advance
-
Has this not been for sale for over 2 years now?
-
You would need to change the block, the 5e has a longer stroke
-
Cheers for the advice lads, I think I'm going to play it safe and get a FSE one.
-
anyone used one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-psi-7-Bar-Universal-Adjustable-Fuel-Pressure-Regulator-Kit-FPR-AN6-6-Red-/370749388393?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item565262b669

It shouldn't need to go as far as that my Card Company will have my back. My neighbour is doing a letter to the card company so that will suffice.
-
When I went up, I asked for the engine to be rebuilt, they told me when engine was finished the rings weren't replaced, as they were 'fine'. They have invoiced me for bearing, valves, springs, shims etc, which I have now found out haven't been replaced. I hope so to James I'm just pi**ed off at the whole situation. He has been repaid with gin lol
-
Well after a few emails exchanged, with an unsuccessful outcome, I have referred the matter to my Credit Card Company to initiate a charge back. Having been told that the engine received a full rebuild, I've had a mechanic confirm, they used all the old parts during the rebuild. Their excuse 'we did not think you wanted the piston rings replaced'. My invoice totalled £680.00, new bearings etc were included on the invoice however these were not fitted. Absolutely discussed by the lack of professionalism & deceit from a well established company.
