GTS GAV Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hey all im gav from hasting east sussex i no mark/morph from down my way a met a few of you at events gaz simon and gaz with the 3S starlet.So thort i better introduce my self as i may see you lot about at future meets/events, i got talking to gaz about his starlet and his 3S build at the pod last week end, as i have also been building a 3S clip for the past year, so thort i would post it up for you lot to have a ganders over it , its currently residing in a my mr2 shell, but at some later stage its going to be used in a starlet gt , my aim is to have the fueling side finished after i have run her in and have final map done before the end of the season ready for some strip action to set a bench mark for next year, as im hoping to enter it in the street legal hks series next year, its only going to be for fun but feel i stand a decent chance as i have built the car to run mid 10sec 1/4 runs i have followd a guy in the U.S who has layed down high 9's with smaller spec to mine but we all no what the strips are like (they all run slightly down hill cheating bastards lol).anyway i didnt no were to post this so if one of the mods wants to move to an apropiate section thats cool The peperami build theread ITS A BIT OF AN ANIMAL..!! I hav always had a fassination with cars especialy high perfomance cars,i wanted to start off learning the basics of engine tuning and teaching my self an doing as much as i possible could with out specialist help. So i decided a good base to start from would be a vauxhall i no booo lol,but i spent a few years messing about with GSI corsa's,GTE nova's astra and so on,but i always had this felling for the need for more power and always wanted somthing turbocharged as my next project,i have always been interested in jap cars as theres so many variations of parts and options on the market.So as soon as i turned 20 and had built up a few years no claims i decided on two cars a nissan pulsar GTI-R as i liked that it had 4x4 drive and of course the toyota mr2 turbo for its powerfull race bread 3SGTE engine (same one found in the wrc corrola and celica in the erly 90's,the mr2 won my heart in the end as i fell in love with the looks of the rev3 GTS shape and there pritty rare in the south.So after a few months searching i came across a very tidy mr2 rev3 turbo with loads of aftermarket goodys with in,i went and had a look it was very clean and looked after and a very good price,we went for a spin in it and ohh my god!! never in my wildest dreams did i imagin it was going to be this quick then he looked at me and said thats stock boost buddy,he turned it up to 1bar i thort i was going to die and deffantly neaded to change my boxers,he let me hav a drive it back and i drove like an old women as my hands were shaking still uncontrolebly,after a final inspection (4hrs worth lol) i managed to knocked him down amazing £750,if you wave the ££££ in there face they cant resist sum times,so i took my new pride an joy home some 250miles wich i loved every secound of,and it didnt miss a beat and was soo quick had a nice lil comparisant test lol with a subaru on the way back just to compaire the power lets just say he was rather shocked when i dropped it down a gear and left him lolit was ment to be bought and driven but with in the first week of owning it i had forked out a few grand on sum goodys for herpics from when first bought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
