Probably inlet cam tension or shims then if its 100% from the head. As for the code 52, i take it they spliced into the knock sensor wiring when fitting the ECU?

Only fire damge is the oil pressure wire believe it or not haha. Yeah man will do, theres a lad interested in taking it for the efi setup so hopefully it goes soon. Could be doing with shifting the V shell too :/

Id say its more likely its actually knocking if you can hear a knock through DET cans.

Sooo long time no update for my EP85, got a bit fed up with it and had written out a for sale thread.. but it seems 4paws arent selling atm so i'll be keeping it for the time being As per usual ive had shit luck with this yet again and also a small oil & heatwrap related fire Anyway, so i fitted a 4EFTE a few weeks ago to find it had a bottom end knock on startup and at certain RPM, i decided it was still driveable enough to go for a MOT. I nursed it down to work, years ticket, sound. Had only covered 3k kilometers sice the last one! Couple days later i meet up with Shaun, we were going up to see Dale to whip an engine out of a n/a. A mile or so into the journey i can see quite a bit of smoke coming out the bonnet, thinking the rad cap has popped off or something. What had actually happend was the turbo oil return pipe had split, spunked some 5w40 onto the heatwrap on the manifold and caused a bit of a fire! Luckily i had a bottle of peach volvic to hand which done a decent enough job of putting it out Ended up abandoning the car for a few hours and got it picked up later on where it now sits at its most happiest, in pieces yet again.. I have a 4EFE sitting in my crashed n/a GT (another story) which i'll fire into the 85 in the next few days! Other things ive done are have the ICV deleted off the inlet. Fitted my JD tuning poly engine bushes. Fitted a c pillar brace. And fired in a set of blue ignition leads Despite fuckin hating the 85 i decided to finally get it Meisters, the new Zeta CRD+ ones. Old Vs new. Got them fitted. Pretty chuffed overall with the Meisters, still need to set the geo up at work though. Although even wirh the rears at the lowest ride height they are still not as low as id like. Got Banzai at Crail on the 1st of May, really wanna go so my aim is to have it running asap and then have a couple weeks to find / fix any issues. Just hope the 4EFE holds out! Plans for the near future, Set geometry up Nankang semis for the front Fit aeromotive 255 pump Fit Sard fpr AE86 poly rarb bushes (hope they fit) Get poly drop link bushes for the front Take it back to Stainless Creations to have the exhaust modded so i can fit my farb Get better brakes Then i might start to like it again

Get a cast one from a 5efhe, its a 4-2-1 type, i used to run one on my n/a The e10 corolla exhaust mani is also supposed to be good. Have also heard of people using a manifold ment for a 4age, by chopping the flange off and fitting a 4efe flange, a bit of modification to the runners is needed too im sure.

Good work buddy!

There would only be movement if the old bushes were worn

I seen that aswell, seems a bit pikey tbh! FTE injectors are a 25 year old design now, spray pattern is probably not the best.

Adjustable panhards normally have poly bushes so replacing an old worn unit might tighten up the back slightly. Plus you can get the rear axle 100% centered.

Ah nice! This was about years ago

Nice one! Make sure get that diff leak fixed and check the fluid level A new washer should do it

This should give you an idea buddy.

Lew is it a JZX100?

The Gen1 engine takes boost very well! Mine didnt have RPM clocks. When it was in Japan And one from last year (ignore the doors)

Geo used to have a white S, it was pretty cool looking Ive a Soliel L 4wd. Base model facelift, no fogs, manual windows, got ABS too. Also had a GT shell which i put all the 100ps n/a stuff into, that was nippy for a n/a.

Fuuuuuuuuuckkk that!! Any more than like 50 miles in a starlet is utterly brutal haha.

Pay at the gates dude.

Go round with a trailer..

Taking the ep85 up man, couple wee running issues hopefully running ok for then

Aye man they were decent last year! Soundo just let us know if yous are coming so we can get a wee convoy up again

How is the starlets coming along now Grant?

And the rep too!

Another very smart car man! No plans for a BGW on this then?

Time you put a couple KGs in that thing it wouldnt move! It is pretty retro though

How long does it take you to get there John? We are about an hour-ish.
