Guest Enzo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 ok finaly had time to upload some pics.this is the na starlet sr i have at the moment. got it for what i thought was a steal.saying that though there is a bash in the rear three quater that needs fixed and i need a new wing,but it came with some very comfy trd springs and an after market exhaust and filter.but apart from the dents, its solid and ive racked up 4000 miles in her already.il try and keep with the updates but its a giggle to drive. so when it arrivedso my first port of call was reducing the rolling radius of the wheels to lower the gearing a bit. anything that will increase accelerationgoing from 195-45-15 with the standard safaris down to 14 rs8's which i got free. stock four new tyres on with some tyre stretch 155-55-14s. this had the lowest calculated sidewall of any size.and ive knocked over an inch off the rolling radius.and how it stands in desperate need of some hubcentric spacers.what ive noticed with just the rims, ive knocked a clean second off my 70-80 time in fourth going from 6 to 5 seconds. just by fitting these. it also pulls cleanely from 60 up. wheres before it woudl run into a wall at around 70im not gona play too much with the cosmetics but i have these waiting to be fitted,im gona match the front one in the same grey as the rearim gona get it dynoed at some point next week. i have a box of parts waiting to go on and a 5e engine,im just undecided as weather to tune the revy 4e or just lump in the 5e and tune that.

5T4R7ET N/A Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 nice cheap sr. I rekon u shud tune the 4e and take the tuning for that to the next level . 5E's already been dun lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 agreed do the 4e just to push the limit a bit. as you said it need spacers to bring them wheels out a bit. look tiny when they tucked away in there lol. look forward to your updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Nice SR Geo,I have a spare 4EFE here if you want to use that first then do the 5E later on, let me know as ill probs just scrap the block as its not really needed.Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looking forward to this. Spacers, and slam it on those rims. It would look the bollocks!!I would say 5E, it's a better base to start on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HariboV Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 looks good man. seen it sitting round the corner from kents a few days ago man. get the bumpers painted and you'll be rocking cosmetic wise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Woo I'm looking forward to the progress with this! About the wheels that's really interesting, I didn't think smaller wheel radius would affect acceleration to that extent! How does it handle with relatively thin tyres? (Compared to 195 for example) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Louis Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Was this the SR that was on pistonheads for £350 a month or two ago?Such a bargin and it looks in good condition for the price even with the dents! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
