Shahzad Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hi,Im not sure if this is in the right place.I will be converting my SR into a sleeper fte in the next month or two. I have the following parts: â?¢Engine which has done 66kâ?¢Gearbox which has done 66kâ?¢CT9 turbo which has done 66k â?¢ECUâ?¢ignition barrel and locksâ?¢Engine bay loomâ?¢Interior loomâ?¢Front mount intercoolerI will be replacing all the auxiliaries (power steering pump etc) at the time of fitting the engine. Is there anything that I have missed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Awesome, gotta love a sleeper! Are you using GT or Glanza looms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingcarr Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm not 100% but I think you'll need wiper/indicator stalks too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shahzad Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm not 100% but I think you'll need wiper/indicator stalks too...I think you are right. Is the indicator on the right on a glanza? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 yeh it is on the right. takes a bit of gettin used to and flashing people alot when uv got a dirty window haha. and yeh u need to swap it. also the screws for securing it are in a different place so you will need to make something up for securing it. unsure if the stalks surround will fit. im tryin to remember if there was somethin about the powersteerin pipe but i cant remember. ill have a look through some pictures and see if i can find what i thinks in my head hope the conversion goes well when ya do it. whos doing it ?

RussellAll my bits are in storage in manchester at the mo. My uncle's friend has a garage in a place called Rochdale. He will be doing the work for me. If i can get all the bits before i go back offshore at the end of the month i will hand the car over and he will get started. If not it will have to wait until i get back.Do i need to get hold of a set of glanza dials? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
206wasstarletpower Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Has anyone actual done a guide or a list of what you actually need for the conversion???As i really wanna do a engine conversion in the future and it would be bloody handy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 use the search feature, type in conversion and thers a few thread with some info and lists of parts youll need Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shahzad Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I can get hold of a set of glanza dials but the millage is wrong. Does anyone know how to put it back?1 way valve from the brake servo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 that car still resides in my driveway g haha. im currently fighting the urge of making it up as a sleeper again because i really wanna go 4 wheel drive starlet to put power down easy. the 1 way valve on the brake servo im sure its to hold vacuum when your off throttle or something so it keeps the brakes sharp all the time ( i think i read that somewhere lol ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adz_sportif_turbo Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 it all depends how u go about the conversion. all i used was the glanza engine loom, none of this different stalks/dials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
206wasstarletpower Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 it all depends how u go about the conversion. all i used was the glanza engine loom, none of this different stalks/dials.So everything works your way???I wanna do this in the future and really i want the easiest way of doing it. As if i do get to do it i reckon it will be a start friday evening finish sunday night.......hopefully Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shahzad Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Little update:I have fitted some GT seats thanks HansonManson and the guide by Amjad was really helpful. http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....showtopic=21838 I will be removing the back wiper once the grommet comes in the post.I have got most of my bits for the build but im not sure if i will have time to drive it down to Rochdale to hand over the car. It will prob have to wait until the start of next month. It could do with a good wash and i really should empty the crap from the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
