Taggy Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 nightspirt got his to 730kg i believe with a roll cage in which weighed about 50-60kg in its self, so you can actually get sub 700's if your that mentalis 700kg's possible for a starlet, if so im gonna start ripping everything out of mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hazzagray Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Surely you would need the cage at that weight... There wouldnt be anything keeping the body stiff!Amazing build by the way, really informative!Want to get me some rails made up by your mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Ok so been a busy monkey on the weekend, lots of updates to the build (on page 1), got the car running and drove it for the first time in ages, was lovely. Needs a bit more work, intercooler is to go on and a few bits and pieces, put in my new Prosport dials too!Hazzagray: Yeah i am sure he would do it for you Surely you would need the cage at that weight...

LukeSR Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Sweeet, nearly there Engine bay is mint as mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Cheers luke, i have spent so much time on this thing, i will be glad to get it done. Problem im finding is that alot of the parts im sticking in are having to be custom made now, like brackets and piping and stuff so its a bit of a slog to get it done. Nearly there though, get paid this Thursday so will buy the remaining bits i need and then finish it off on the weekend.Sweeet, nearly there Engine bay is mint as mate!

Taggy Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Got the turbo pipework all hooked up now and I have also fitted some cool aero catches to my bonnet, its taken me pritty much all day today to fit with about 3 BBQ sessions in between but they look the business and are cool to open.Car is ready to be MOT'd now apart from needing some new battery terminal connectors, the bloody jap ones are a pain in the ass to get connections for as the pins on the battery are so small.My gasket is blowing on my manifold too which is causing me to get hardly any boost, so gotta figure out why its doing that which is a bitch. I think these cheap toyosports manifold gasket could be the problem! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nazzurro19 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 get a pic up of the catcheseasy to fit dude? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah a right bitch, luckily i got it right more less first time but it took ages to get the pin underneath bang on so when you drop the bonnet the catches all sit in the right place.Must have taken about 2 hours per catch to fit, had to measure it properly, mask it, cut it, fit it, remeasure, then align it all and tighten. Took so long as you had to get it right first time or it would look shit.Worth the effort though, another thing done on the list!get a pic up of the catcheseasy to fit dude?

Taggy Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Just got back from the MOT garage with the starlet and got the all clear, so well chuffed.Only thing wrong was that i was missing a split pin on one of the track rod ends but nothing major. So all i need to do now is get my self some road tax and then down to Gotboost for some rolling road fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
