I dont know what it is about golfs xD

All green ones aswell

I suppose i they wanted to, theres nothing stopping them now? These guys have done it to a normal road car so whats stopping you from removing the head from the likes of an evo and making a retro fit camless head. The only thing you would need is oil pump drive if its belt driven and a crank angle sensor for timing and ignition etc

The valves would need a separate cpu but nothing mental

And how would you get vtec with no cams? Lol

Or are you saying? "vtec pffft, i rev to 20k bitch!!!" :Pb

Strictly speaking with this type of cam system you can have the lift and advance run linier so there would be no on/off like Vtec is

Havnt they had numatic valves in racing bikes for a few years now?

Just watched the whole thing now and it looks great.

If the numbers are as good as they state it could be something amazing!

hi sorry i am breaking this now, started breaking today, i have a glanza comeing up for sell tho?

I would have been more intrested in the project aspect if im honest.

Dont mint doing a bit of work

Sorry mate, forgot I had posted in here.

Unfortunately plans have changed and second bike is out the window, plus added up all the bits on the GT and its a bit more than expected.

Cheers

mark

No worries, I asumed you had sold the starlet if im honest lol

The search for a buy continues

Bump!

Would you be able to lug it to cambridge? If so how much?

I fancy a project and i dont really want to fuck about with my civic xD

You should have too much trouble selling it.

Such a great eco box, they may aswell run on fresh air!

Nice looking bike mate.

How much would you be looking on top of a GT?

Cheers

Depends on the GT really.

Got any info?

I think the real trouble we were having was for one the way we were jacking it up it was on the cock a bit.

Secondly because we split the CV joints they were catching on the flywheel cover, i hade to bend the cover a touch to clear it!

Well, that was a cunt of a job i hope never to have to do again!

For some reason the inner shafts didnt want to come out of the gearbox?

Tried for ages but eventually just split the CV joints.

And the box indeed a nitemare to re-align!

I've still got a couple more things to refit but the bulk of it is finally done after around 6 hours T_T

I found it easier to just remove the bottom ball joint nuts and swing the shaft out the way.

Sounds exactly the same as the civic to be honest!

I will be jacking it unfortunatly but i did my civic the same way and I've done that twice now.

I will be doing it with my friend who is also a mechanic and he has all his tools to hand!

Aslong as i know there isnt anything starlet specific waiting to catch me out ill be all good!

I've found this guide for changing it:

Does that look right to you guys?

The one question i have is, Can i just remove the shafts from the gearbox or do i have to split the CV joints?

Looks pointlessly messy to me!

I think im right in saying the engine in these is a non-turbo version of the Evo GSR engine?

Good looking car! I really wanted one at one point!

Gave it a bloody good clean on friday!

It does have mirrors but they arnt fitted so they dont get damaged in the shed!

If your removing the AC burn the shit out of the bolt with a blow torch then get some mole grips on it.

If your refitting the AC after burn the shit out of it a bit more carefully

Just noticed its the PS but yea same applies!

I dont know if its been mentioned but if the clutch gets really heavey the clutch is on its way out too!

How do i know when it is the correct tension?

IIRC the correct tension is the belt should only bow if it has more than 10kg of pressure on it and you should be able to twist the belt 70-80degrees once its tensioned up on the pulleys

Cheers ill give it a look when i get home!

Do not overtighten your alternator belt as this can cause the bearing in your waterpump to fail/cease i have seen it happen before and it ended up ruining a freshly forged motor!

How do i know when it is the correct tension?

Like starbuck said, a new belt will stretch see'ing as it's never been on a car before! What i did was got my mate to push as hard as he could on the alternater with a low entry jack handle (as they're really long), and as he was putting all his weight on it i tightened the bolts, simple.

Don't worry about it being 'too tight'.. Don't think it will be tighter than mine is haha.

You do everything all or nothing! xD

Its usual to do this with a new belt, from experience. After it stretches a bit. Nip it up tight again and it should solve the issue.

That makes sense, cheers.

How do i know when the belt is tight enough?

Can they be over tight?

Right so recently i had my alternator and PS pump belts changed.

Now not long after its been done its screaming like a motherfucker.

Why would it be doing this? What can i do to shut it the fuck up as it gets right on my nerves that noise lol

Any help is appreciated as always!

FUCK THAT!

They make it look easy but i can guess that it take too much skill to drift a bike.

I love it when people have the engine coming through the bonnet.

The car version of a low cut top...
