sharksy Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 hi peeps, new member here. currently looking for a change - torn between either going back to a corolla, or something something different and easy to work with Starlet / galanza!really liking the site, seems very well organised!! Quote
Torturedglitch Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Welcome along bud tis a wicked site very helpfull, get a glanza u won't regret it Quote
N80Jamie Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Go for the starlet dude! You won't regret it Quote
sharksy Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 cheers guys! i actually quite like the starlet, EP82 to be precise! as a owner of a Levin B.T i am partial to the N/A power plant - is a 4age powered starlet difficult to achieve? also if i do one day purchase a starlet im going to make it into a sleeper Quote
ryan lang Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 theres a guy on here who converted his ep91 SR into a 4age i do believewelcome to the club also dude Quote
Starbuck Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Welcome along. Starlet all the way, getting rarer than the Glanza. Quote
sharksy Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 cheers dude! i like the words on your sig - very true! yea i had a look on his build thread last nite, looks very good!! very clean engine bay - wish my was like that!! Quote
morgey Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Welcome along mate, and theirs actually 2 or us in the uk with 4age b.t powered black sr's and also a 2zzge ep82 on here aswell And to answer your question no its not easy, but its bloody good fun when its done Quote
sharksy Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 a picture of my pride and joy after a wash! morgey - who did your conversion, yourself? also what gearbox are you using? Quote
morgey Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Me, my mate and his dad did the welding. Currently using a ae92 box but looking to upgrade to a ae111 5spd lsd Basically u need all custom mounts, wiring loom, and ideally 2 custom shafts to go from ae** gearbox hubs to downsize to ep** starlet hubs,I machined my hubs out to use all ae** parts with a vw passat bearing and the ae stub axles pressed in, I also managed to use the ae** drivers side shaft whole and only had to have one custom shaft made.Like I said not easy!! theres a few pics in my build thread or if u want to know a bit more feel free to ask and ill sort some pics out of it all Quote
*Zoe* Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 welcome to the site EP82 would be a fine choice would especially look good parked with a levin Quote
sharksy Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 thanks zoe! i had my eyes on one of those recently - completely standard, very clean and under 75k-ish miles, perfect base for a project!! it was on for £275, called the guy on thursday and he said he sold it for £150 in the end as he was desperat for cash!! gutted.comoh well, just have to keep on looking...
