Hi everyone Im new on here.

Had my starlet 3 weeks now and I love it!

Its a 1996 1.3 Sportif in Red.

Its not anywhere near as quick as my old Clio Sport 172 but its 1000 x more fun to drive.

Bought it on the saturday and by tuesday I had it lowered, Alloys, Decat with backbox, Induction, Stripped out and then Bucket seats. All for a Very Cheap price due to mates and Bargains lol hence the name `Project Cost F*ck All lol

Anyway im from Nottingham and I know a few people on here as 3 of them have starlets.

Welcome to the club :)

Project sounds good, and some pretty dam quick progress. removing as much of the car as you can to save weight is the way to go!!!!

When mines done im going to go over the whole of the car trying to get every thing as light as i can :p

Anyway, get some pics up asap!

Handles like a train now its lowered and stripped love it!!!

Just need some bumpers for it now and then when I get my Rover running and sold ill be looking at a new engine as my mates have swapped engines like a swap my underwear lol

Good times!!

4EFTE is the way to go, i picked up a crash damaged GT for £600. After selling off all the bits i didn't need from the car plus my old engine etc i had everything i need for my project and it worked out that the bits i had left (engine, gearbox, wiring loom, ecu, driveshafts, V5C) only ended up costing me £150!

The way to go if your going to do a engine swap if you ask me, there are loads of people after bits so you can easily get rid of most bits :) And when you want rid of the remains just tell people its free if they collect and the vultures will start circling :p

So im looking for a Starlet Gt Turbo Ideally then? Will have to keep my eye out for one to go with my project CFA lol

Im sure there are other options??? However i believe there a quite a few people that have put the starlet GT engine into a N/A so if you get stuck you will have others to help you out. Have a look under the 'members rides' section and you will see plenty of engine swaps that have been done!

I believe there are a few GT engines for sale in the sale section also :)
