Thinkin of relocating battery intothe boot, i dunno yet? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan0387 Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Quick update, got backbox done in welding class! very proud of myself! having problems with memory card reader at moment so pics will follow soon. its a 3.5" Savage universal box that i got from a guy in my course! doin a double take on de-cat at moment, its very loud with just the backbox done but i am still bein advised to do it so we shall see! might make a full exhaust tho because the starlet has one of the simplest exhausts i have ever seen!! it sounds sweet, that lovely deep grumble at idle and crazy roar with the go pedal! there is a 'silencer' with it, but it just gives it a higher pitched scream, almost like a type R on acid VTEC! im a bit hyper at mo, kinda locked out of my face as i type! ha!

alan0387 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Just some pics! Got my backbox done as per last post, also got a front lip off a golf, and a smaller front reg.Front bumper still needs some work, doin all of it together, soothin, meshin paintin etc. hopefully within 2 or 3 weeks! might get a little extra splitter at bottom that sticks out, like a racer one? happy with this at mo tho!

Galliano Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 the backbox looks good, but for the love of god, get alloys, the car looks soooo tatty with those 3 wheeltrims Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan0387 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Gilliano i will be sorting alloys soon, they are very expensive over here in ireland tho, cheapest is like 500 euro for a set of 15's wit tires! :angry: Nic sorry dude those rubstrips came off months ago, went straight in the bin!! sorry man!!

alan0387 Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just for anybody interested in a 4E-FE engine, i am currently in possesion of a 1996 4E-FE engine with 75K on it, i am undecided as wether to rebuild it, it is burning oil so replacement piston rings, head gasket and valve stem oil seals are required. i dunno wether to build it up and sell it as a reconditioned unit (it is being stripped to pieces, cleaned and rebuilt totally) or to sell it for parts. i was going to polish the rocker cover and port/polish the head for my own car..... anybody interested in a full engine or bits pm me. :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
