by the way if you get the facelift grill you'll need headlights to match

Good stuff Rob, i'm doing this with a GT shell atm aswell lol

Yeah that is wrong, you need to use something a bit stronger like a few 50mg Tramadols lol. Nah in all seriousness its wrong to kill cats.

Wonder if it means FTE ? If it is for a FE i cant see it being that much better if any than a JDM 100ps ECU. Anyone with a few ¥¥¥¥¥¥ to burn willing to find out ? Lol

Feed it chilli powder

Has your 4paw landed here yet, or on the way over ?

Welcome to UKSO, awesome choice of starlet There are a few differences like exhaust will need to be custom made, there is specific coilovers for 4wd starlets, anti roll bars are different, lower arm brace might not fit, seat rails are different. But once its turbo converted all the usual engine mods etc are all the same. Turbo kits, clutch kits can all be used aswell. Any pics ?

You could do it, i had a JDM Gen3 Carat which used the DIS ignition, sold most of the parts to a lad who was gonna do the swap all he needed was a crankshaft position sensor. The later 4EFE Corollas use the same setup and if you really wanted to you could use stuff from that but youd need the ECU, and then you might have an issue of plugs not matching.

Id price highly, doubt you'll wait long for a buyer, theres more demand than supply atm. Aslong as your engine is in good condition obviously

What stuff do you want to know ? I dont think theres that much to know about them really. Ive had an auto starlet, was a JDM N/a and the box was pish haha

If you check the wanted threads you'll find about 10 threads for a 4EFTE. Id say set up a group pm convo and hold a bid, let them fight it out haha.

Aye it would be 10x better with a proper engine lol. Whats the suspension setup like on it ?

Seen this at knockhill a few times before you owned it, looks alright and tidy enough. Just a very weird spec on it though ay with drum brakes and carbs haha. Id say bang it up for 1800 ono. Similar spec civic coupes like what i had can be had for 800ish last i checked but its not really a good comparison.

Iirc theres a member on here called sdutton007 who has a full spare 4paw drivetrain. Maybe worth a pm, but if i had a spare it wouldnt be going cheap lol. Do you have any pics of your 4paw by the way ?

For 3500 youd get an awesome daily, id go for a diesel bmw of some sort.

Ive got 15" 7J wheels on my 85, 195/50 rainsports. Grips like a cunt haha. Would bother changing up to 16" but maybe run a 205 semi slick on the 15" for even more grip. And remember to keep same size all round, last thing you want is wind up !!

Right found that thread, could possibly contact these lads that sold it and see how much it went for, give an idea of a guide price. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/72140-5-door-ep71/?hl=%2B5dr+%2Bep71

There was a black 5dr 71 on the import sites for a while, wonder where that went. Personally bud i wouldnt sell it, or if you do id ask for hefty cash. Just look at how much MK1 escorts and cossies go for these days !! Wait this out for another few years and this will be worth a clean mint.

Old service history, import docs, manuals and stuff are all pretty cool to have

New flywheel bolts should come with loctite on them, and i just put a wee bit extra on just to make sure lol.

I've used them before aswell, the guy was fuckin bang on, guess its just luck of the draw really. But aye he'll be holding out for another job on the way there or back

Cheers Garry i'll let him know !! Thats right bud its not an easy task finding a good FTE anymore.

I might be taking a trek up to view it for a mate so just wondering if its a no bad one ? And again sorry Scott for jacking the thread lol, if i hear of any FTEs going i'll let ya know !! Best bet though boost an FE.
