Trevstar

The guy says he's sold bare engines for £650, well I bought one back in 2016 for £250 (that I regrettably sold the bottom end) but I seriously doubt prices have crept up that high since then. Maybe someone desperate with more money than sense would buy it, but I'm not that guy and hopefully no one else from this forum is either

I'm not surprised! I honestly thought about messaging saying 'lol good luck with that', everything he's selling is just mental, All I need is the FHE rods, and a 5E block and crank, someone somewhere must just have them laying around and forgotten about

Yeah I realised once I saw them, I wonder too, chances are that the block was previously boosted and bent one of the rods. Only reason I can think of why there's only 3 pistons & rods and a block 🤷🏼‍♂️ I get how rare they are but I just do not get why some people then feel that gives them the right to add 275-500% of 'JDM rarity tax' on top of its actual worth. There's taking the piss and then there's that. I will keep looking though as I'm determined to see this build/project through, one will turn up for a reasonable price at eventually at some point! 😁

I've been looking for a 5EFHE lately and I have been searching and searching. Then I came across this complete 5efhe and auto box: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202998728717 I know these are rare as fuck now but really? So unless this is an ultra rare 500hp engine that he has forgot to mention, I think I will give it a pass... Seller is also selling 3 5efhe rods and pistons for £45 EACH! Didn't realise there was a 3 cylinder version 5e 🤔 Or am I missing something?

Found, please lock/delete Thanks!

Right of course, just getting back into the swing of things, thanks mate

Ohhhh okay right I see, it wasn't so much as a group buy though, not wanting anyones money, it was just to see what kind of interest there was for them so that I could have them made up to make them available to others. But no worries, cheers for cleaning that up for me. Is it because of this that I now can't post in the for sales section? Thanks, Trev

I've been trying to post a topic to gauge interest to have some 5efhe cams reproduced, but a few hours after I post it, it disappears? I also cannot seem to start a new post in the market place either? Tried to message socks but he hasn't been on to read it lately

You still got any of these?

Cheers mate, the same to you! 👍 The 5efhe cams have a 8.5% increased lift on the inlet and a 4% increase on the exhaust, theres a good post here you could check out HERE As for the durations im not too sure, although I believe they are slightly less than the 4E cams

Right then, here we are, 2020! After a long absence the time is soon approaching to get back to it, the project wasn't forgotten or abandoned! I hope all of you are doing well and have been able to swerve the virus! As some of you will know the car has been very kindly looked after by Pikey009 (the previous owner), but it will be soon returned to continue with its improvements! A couple of changes have been decided on after Jase convinced me to go full hog and go 5E, since I'm putting all this effort into an N/A. I'd like to find another 5EFHE if I can bloody find another one

Sorry to hear about your smash Sadly starlets are very structurally weak so sadly it won't be returning to the road which is sad. But you shouldn't have much problem finding a new one to swap everything over to Insurance companies are mostly arseholes by nature, happy to take your money but will do their best to wiggle out of paying for anything and they will long it out as long as they can, but you have dashcam footage which should be indisputable. I hope someone more knowledgeable can chime in. The police themselves won't do much, so I wouldn't expect muc

She's beautiful!

This will be resumed sometime next year while pikey009 is kindly looking after the beauty for a bit, and when it does things will get interesting! thanks guys for your patience

Cheers mate!

Paseo dials finally sold - Boot tray left to be sold!

@maddox710 Thanks mate, appreciate it, look forward to getting back on with things at the pace I was going at before, hopefully just after christmas

Breakers yard is your best bet

Get pics up ASAP!!

29/11/17 Again not much has been going on lately, just slowly making progress, but should pick up again after Christmas. However I have bought myself a TRD fuel cap And a few weeks ago I was thinking about my gearbox, if I didn't happen to reach my target bhp then I can imagine an N/A with a turbo gearbox would be a bit sluggish and lose acceleration, but you'd get more speed, what to do? Answer, increase the final drive gear ratio I checked the final drive of the glanza gearbox (which is 3.722), and a TRD final drive was out the question because it was too expe

Thanks mate! Was nice chatting with you too, hope to meet up at some stage in the future

Totally worth it, these should sell easy!

Just the optional boot tray and the Paseo dials left to go!

Lol can't believe it's taken this Long to sell these bits  Paseo dials, boot tray and '98 spec rear lights still available!

No problem mate! Cheers
