Use a different thickness of of head gasket to alter the compression back the other way mate. Just make sure you calculate it acordingly or you may increase the chances of det/knock.

Looking good mate! You'll be happy with the 5E :D


Oh and the 5E manifold, the one thats better is the 5EFHE with its dual runners, you need a solenoid to operate this but am sure your Emerald can operate the solenoid :thumbsup:

Yeah thats the one mate :D



The starlet came with an optional LSD, you'll need the driveshaft and rear gear box mount though to fit.


You could try checking the breakers for an LSD from a levin as I believe they use the same gearbox.

DEFINITELY WOULDNT FIND A STARLET LSD BOX... that shit would get gobbled up before it has even reached the breakers quicker find an ae101 levin .... so to the breakers i go cuz i know when i get that power the wheels are gona be spinning in the corners

Looks like you're building quite a motor here!

Just seen you're looking for an LSD do you know how to tell if a gearbox has one? as the whole turn one wheel the other turns the same way doesn't work for levin LSD's

Heres a link of what to look for, that has a couple of different ones so you could get lucky ;)
