Well mine wont be ready for a while yet but i'd pop over in my daily wagon lol.

Name and shame !! We're not all bad mate, forget the UK thing, this was an individual person remember. Hope you can find a solution.

Bet you can taste boost now !! Just think of all those Astra VXR gimps that you'll be flying by lol. And obv better cars than that, but i find Vauxhaull owners particularly annoying haha.

Cant wait to get up crail, gonna keep mine sleeper and tell everyone its an N/a, with an electronic DV lol.

Ive just got an 85 and the floorplan is waaaaay different, the rear mount is different aswell obviously, rear beam area too, rear suspension. First problem would be trying to find 85 running gear.

Good stuff man, youvr beasted this build tbf

Dont think ive said this before but, James is a fuckin dirty theiving pikey cunt.

I'll give you a text Jordan Thanks for all the offers, now sorted for seats. I'll be on the lookout next month for a pair of wheels, spent faaar to much already haha.

I liked it when i seen it in Marcs thread, like the retro-ness of it lol. Much you after for it ?

Slutty look ftw !! That TRD seat bolt up to an 85 yeah ? What does it need to fit if it doesn't straight fit ?

Oooohhh, getting close now man. Its looking quite slutty inside

I'm from Stirling, so fairly close, building an 85 atm. We need to get a meet going.

Awesome Jordan, same condition aye ? When you free ?

Haha, well i blew an FTE to fuck when i showed it a bar and a bit lol so i'll see if i can give this one death too haha.

If you could let me know a bit of info on that kit when you get a chance then bud

Am in no way having a dig or that, i must have picked them up stupidly cheap in the past then.

Nice one guys !! Get your builds done so we can all get a meet going ffs lol.

Possibly interested in Zisco kit. Be a shame to break though

Rob i'll run them through google and see what they look like Ahh no way Amjad haha, didnt think to ask lol. I'd also consider any other types of seats, recaros or whatever. I only wanted GT seats because theyre comfy and they used to be cheap..

That would be more than i was looking to spend on the seats tbh Garry, the rails will be getting taken off/cut up anyway. Thanks though

My thoughts exactly, im not getting robbed for no good reason lol. Right so plans... Well i've been thinking about this and i've decided to turbo this engine, and for a few good reasons. The only internal differences between the Gen1 FE and a GT FTE are the valve springs, the pistons and the headgasket, everything else is the same. ( or so im told lol ) Plus this engine is probably in much better condition than 90% of the FTEs, so its a good base in my eyes. Plus who doesn't like a slightly high comp turbo engine ? Haha. Turbo wise, i stupidly sold my Zisco TD04 kit, i loved it but i found it was almost too responsive lol. So for this build i would like something a bit bigger. Probably a Zisco topmount kit with either a TD05 or a VF series of some description

So i'm looking for a PAIR of 15'' wheels, 4x100 fitment, open to anything really, well aslong as its not shite. Either with tyres or without. Just PM me a pic with a price and some info And i'll see what i think. Would rather collect in the Central Scotland area but i could sort a courier if you're too far away. Cheers, Dan.

That sounds promising Devon !! Yeah shorty well i dont think i'll bother with them meisters atm then, for that price i could have a decent turbo setup. I know Rich had them on the red V but apart from that i dont know who else bought them.

I think i'll just be doing 2nd gear launches haha, how does it sit and feel through the corners with them ? I was possibly going to get coilovers at the front and then find some low drop springs for the rear. Just dont want to be face down ass up lol.

Yeah i know Ted & WeeJohn on TGTT have swapped the 1st, i've now read every single post in the 4paw section so im now mostly up to speed lol. I had a look on the JDM auctions and they still sell Zoom springs but i dont have any uprated shocks to put them on so its kinda pointless. Think Miester would do us a discount if we both bought them ?
