Had my first GT at 17. Bought a silver shell and built it up to TD04 supporting mod spec. Im 23 now and currently own an ep85, had it for 4 years. Just had a pretty big spec forged engine built for it. Ive also got a GT shell, 2 times TOTB winning car. Had 7 starlets in total. 4 subarus and various other Jap stuff.

Wheres the vids at?

My Wiseco -10cc dished pistons needed machined slightly, that was using a 0.5mm metal gasket though. Talking shite... mine were near flat tops.

Jerry can and a zippo then phone insurance

Very old skool cool nowadays.

Earth on the inlet held by a 10mm can cause all sorts of similar running issues.

Im ordering one off demontweaks, then local fabricators gonna weld it in, MSA / FIA approved so can compete in the future

Get a weld in or its pretty pointless.

No contest

How much was this initially?

Ct9 hybrid prices are just crazy. Think Race Tech ask about 650 for the turbo alone. Id suggest get a used good (wepr) manifold / downpipe for td/vf turbo fitment. A hose company can make custom oil lines for 50 quid. External gate would be preferred so you can have screamer action, proper EWGs are dear but can run ebay ones at 0.6 bar no problem. (Yet) Then choose from about 20 different turbos to suit your needs with the td / vf / tf flange

Its not even 4wd. 6.5k haha.

Haha yeah, people dont seem to like it when i go to view their car, im a vehicle tech. Checking on a ramp is obviously prefered but its not always possible.

Apart from the usual starlet checks, Get it jacked up and inspect the 4wd system. Mostly for leaks. If any component has been run dry it wont be long till it fails. There is a grease nipple at the front of the propshaft so you can fill it up a bit. Check the viscous coupling in the middle of the propshaft for leaks. Check the transfer box for leaks. Same with the rear diff and at the brake drums for halfshaft seals leaking. Get it on the ground, do some lock to lock turns to listen for any abnormal noises. And most important, side step the clutch and launch it at 6k rpm and get 4 wheels

Theyve been up for ages, reduce the prices if you want them to sell. Not saying theyre not worth what you are asking but folk clearly dont wanna buy them at your prices.

No they dont sit right at all, there was a pic of one that had them fitted years ago and it was laughable. Toyota made a mistake and supplied the wrong ones to the dude!

Yes

Plus there has been way more bad reviews than that are actually in the section, many posts got deleted / swept away at the time or shortly after.

I showed Paul your comment dude, he doesnt use the forum anymore but he said to add him on FB 'Paul boost Connolly'

You are kidding yourself on if you think you aint gonna mod an Evo!

The MK1 GT came with a boot type dizzy all others are clip types. (Pretty sure)

The one ive got has GPS internally, plugs into the 12v cig lighter, easy days. More accurate than trying to gauge what a 20 year old KPH clock is in MPH.

Theres a few on Amazon. I got one from a driving instructors car that got traded into work.
