  1. insurance fraud is not a good deal either. I hate it for you man, I really do, I don't know what I would do if my Starbo got stolen. but like everyone has said, Strip it and take everything you can, while keeping it drivable, then if they come take it, fight for it and try to keep it, otherwise, let it go and try to get some money back for a new GT. I wouldnt go about having the car "stolen", because, then you can get yourself in real trouble if you get caught. I also dont think I could chop a GT up or put an axe through it's roof, or light it on fire, it would make me cry. but good luck man,
  2. looks awesome. I was there for the Independence Day 2 years ago and it was awesome. I'm glad you had a good time.
  3. Maybe one year, I'll be able to come out there and see this, but being in the military makes that difficult. Hope its a great turnout.
  4. red bull gives you wiings! awesome video. Amazing skill there.
  5. Tuna, Cream Cheese, and avacado sushi, or any sushi for that matter as long as it is fresh, and then pizza.
  6. how about blue stickers to match some of the stuff in the engine bay and the interior?
  7. and double post, but yes it's just new york, all the big cities are uber expensive. Everyone else looks at the rest of the world as expensive, lol. Come to my neck of the woods sometime and you will get to see the other end of the spectrum. Its amazing out here.
  8. gaaaaaa wrong side of the country. I was there last year for 6 months. could have taken you for a drive in the ep....... I bet you had fun. but it is the US so who knows?
  9. PICS****Trying to decide on whether or not to get my wheels powdercoated. If I do, it will be like in the following picture or completely inverse so the inside would be white with the hoop and bolts in black. Oppinions are greatly appreciated, as with other colors if you want to photoshop or just a cheap paint job like I did on here. the car is going to stay white, so it has to match, or set it off well.
  10. saw this a while back. I had to laugh.
  11. yes there was. I was in heaven walking through all the cars. even though probably 70-80% were hondas, most of them were done very well and 70-80% of the hondas were boosted which was nice to see.
  12. you can find it in the used car sales sometimes. I still havent found one.
  13. here's some pics from the Toys for tot's meet VQ35DETT Mazda MPV minivan
  14. well so far it has been to the Toys for Tots meet, a run to Mount Vernon, multiple little meets and drives around Washington and California, at the toys for tots meet, there were almost 1000 cars including 2 r35 gtr's, a lamborghini countach, a murcialago, 2 ferarri f430's and multiple r32, 33, and 34 skylines, and the EP82 didnt have a minute where there were not at least 5 people staring, taking pictures, asking questions and wondering what it was. At the other meets, they are ALOT smaller, but everyone loves the car. Nobody looks at it as an econobox, they did when I had the gt2835R in my
  15. hey hey hey sparky. I've been in the tercel/paseo/ starlet game since I bought my first car. I have done 4e swaps 3 times and 5efte swaps 3 times now in 2 different cars. just using my left hand is something new, lol. I love it though. and thanks amjad.
  16. A little update. I got the 5efte in and running and then missed a shift from 3-4th and instead went from 3-2 at around 85mph which put the engine at 9700rpm. It instantly spun at least 2 bearings and I pulled over and they had welded themselves to the crankshaft and punched a hole in the block under the #1 cylinder where the rod came in contact with the block. So I started cleaning my spare block which should have been another 5efe as it came out of a 92 paseo, but it was instead a 5efhe with the high compression pistons, thick rods, and the 5e stamped crankshaft(5efe's are stamped 3e). So I

  18. I just spent the last 2-3 hours reading through all of your updates, and all I can say is WOW. I never realized that there could be so much work that could go it no one. I think that is an amazing project and can only imagine the time and money spent on this. has to be way more than I have put in to my ep. I cant wait to see the final project. I'll be watching this.
  19. valve cover will be changing soon as with the fuel rail. I have white powdercoated ones waiting on my kitchen table.
  20. I haven't seen or heard anything about it here.
  21. it was imported about 6 years ago, before I got it. All I can say is it has bypassed the regulations.......... There's a build thread on here, so im not going to clog up bandwidth with multiples of the same post so check it out. And Thanks for the kind words.
  22. thanks guys for the kind words. the wheels will be changing a little bit soon, being powdercoated inner part black with the whole hoop in white, I also plan on building a forged 5e. also I need to install my Profec E-01 and multiple gages. I was getting off the car ferry and the front bumper got crushed, so I will either be buying a id-workz one or fixing this one, I know it is fixable. also would like some carbon fiber parts. thats about the limit of the plans right now. I wouldnt give up those wheels or this kit for anything, I absolutely love them It's the only Tom's kitted starlet in the
  23. honestly no clue on power yet. I just got the new engine in 2 days ago. still running stock injectors while wiring in my emanage ultimate. I am not very good at wiring so its pretty tough for me. I think all I have left is to wire in the injectors and injector adapter. I would imagine that once it gets tuned, I'll be in the 250whp area. gonna tune it for 15psi while still using stock rods and pistons. anny advice on how to make it better would be greatly appreciated. I just want to keep the interior stockish, just gages and blue sparco milano front seats with blue or black 4 point harnesses.
