td04 glanza Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Hi mate, hope you dont think im being rude but what do you do for a living cause u have some mega sick looking cars, u must have spent 10s of thous on the glanza alone! I love it soooo much.Allan Quote
LukeSR Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Holy shit are you for real with those wheels!? Quote
Idrees Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Just needs to go lower now, looks epic though! Quote
Erik Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 Need to roll my rear arches before I go lower. And get some stiffer springs for my coilovers. In front my teins are on the lowest. Would be nice with some camber on the rear, but difficult to make. In front wheels are perfect. 8,25x15 ET0;)I'm a Toyota mechanic. Quote
Erik Posted October 15, 2011 Author Posted October 15, 2011 Got my new turbo this week. A gt30. I have also started to take apart my new 5e engine to control that everything is okay. Everything seems fine till now. Will mount cruise valvesprings and zep oilsump to it. Otherwise no needs to upgrade. Just needs bigger injectors and weld a manifold and exhaust. Quote
Ryan-11 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Awesome! them wheels arent for everyone but i love them, it will be a beast with a gt30 Quote
Erik Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 Took a little photo shoot today before I'll park it for the winter. Quote
Sanchez Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pics of your brothers V8 KP needed please Quote
ryan lang Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 i think the wheels are slight over kill, get some livesports skirts and overfenders and they might look at homethe starlet doesnt have the arches and lines for mega dish rims.other than that, this is an amazingly beautiful car though mate, keep up the good work Quote
Erik Posted October 16, 2011 Author Posted October 16, 2011 EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pics of your brothers V8 KP needed pleaseThanks. I don't have much pics of his. But I made a GIF Quote
Dreamer90 Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Those wheels take it to the edge.What a beautiful car. Well done. Truly awesome ep Quote
Liam_D Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Cage and wheels are awesome! Only thing im not feeling is the offset of the wheels they need to be pushed into the arches a bit more :/ Quote
Keri-WMS Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 If I suggested tubbing the wheel arches and fitting drift arches would I get lynched? (like this http://mk1escortrebuild.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html )I want to do that to my Mk1 MR2. All I'll need then is those wheels...... Quote
COLEY BOI Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 not gunna lie but this is the best starlet ive seen , really impressed , wish i still had mine , think il have to get another one now lol ........ mint Quote
Erik Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 Nothing big have happened. Sorted most of the parts and disassembled the head. I'm not very impressed with the ZEP racing sump. Looks like a kid have welded it....This is how my dinner table looks now... Quote
drongo boi Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 love this car dude!! n nice pics of the valves lol Quote
Keri-WMS Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Hmmmmm, big seats on those valves!- If they are exhaust...probably ok as the cooling you get from the big seat on the valve while its closed and in contact with the (cooler) head is very handy on a turbo engine.- But if they are inlet....HAS to be worth getting an extra angled cut (back-cut) on there to get a bit more flow at low lift?Just a thought, engines aren't normally my thing!

Erik Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 In my eyes not a professional job.... Quote
