siilversurfer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thought id get this up here, Decided last week to get my old matt black starlet back on the road now my other one is sold. It was a fully forged, TD04, with piggyback ecu.here it is at the momentThen i removed the engine and box And thats about as far as i have got for the moment.As you can see its been sat there a while, 2 years i think But I've now sold my HRF TD05 starlet so its time to give it some attention.Got everything out of the engine bay ready for a clean up Removed the dash to rewire the ECU for standalone, rewirer the ebc, gauges and rewire the lambda back in. Managed to get hold of a Standard box with a 1.5way TRD diff and driveshafts Gave it a bit of a clean up The clutch was pretty worn, rivets are pretty much flush with the padsBlock stripped down ready for a clean and paintNow painted in Heat resistant Tank HR paint and before anyone sais anything i wasnt the one that cleaned the pistons up.My ross pistons My Pauter RodsEverything cleaned up and paintedMatt black sumpThe parts have started to arrive, Got some of the gaskets, magnetic plug, dizzy, wheel spacers and extended wheel nuts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

siilversurfer Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Haha do it mate you can never spend enough, Getting seriously pissed off with it atm been flat out on it when im not working putting some serious hours in, took an hour to do the valve stem seals they were that bad cheers for getting them over so soon rik, Took me 6 hours to rub the valves in, No1 had a leak it was that poor , 3 hours to fit the cam gears on the inlet side as it wasnt machined properly. The cam gear had not been tensioned and have just measured the shim gaps 2 out of 16 are ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
