jayc-glanza17 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 first test drive last night..and my GOD, its fast, and full grip in 3rd gear, with better tyres, reckon 2nd id get grip too..so will see it at japfest..i am still shocked at the smoothness even though im running 630cc injectors..i would reccomend Omex, or another standalone to any starlet owner..

jayc-glanza17 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 been getting the car ready for japfest today, as had day off.. so I re sprayed the rear of car as its stripped, fitted new air filter instead of being in fog light, so can get better cooling to brakes.then gave her a little polish, first time since July.lol heres some pics http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0501_zps81896aea.jpg.html'>http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0500_zps07667856.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0499_zpse34d7bc0.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0498_zps524dd907.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0496_zps59d0bce4.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0494_zps6f02d91a.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0490_zpsd74ec7f5.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0489_zps0c94b4c7.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0502_zpsf304469d.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0503_zps775e8ad0.jpg.html'> http://s601.photobucket.com/user/jayc-glanza17/media/DSC_0504_zps9f56d4a5.jpg.html'> all comments welcome.

Beastmode panda Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Nice job man. What's up with the intercooler sitting wonky? Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 broke the mount at bottom, an cba to straighten it, as im redesigning my rad and intercooler set up after japfest.. cheers for the comments man. Quote
steve1093 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Car looks great mate! How's the zisco exhaust going? I'm looking into getting one... Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Posted May 8, 2013 best sounding exhaust ive heard on a starlet.. nice and deep tone, and mental when you floor it, and when it pops, its very loud.lol. Quote
steve1093 Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Haha yeah, have only heard good things about them. My only issue would be if it was to loud to use on a daily with a stripped interior and no sound proofing? Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 its loud, but I love it tbh, as its sounds awesome, but then mine isn't a daily, might be too much, but they are good tho pal.. Quote

AdamB Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Looking epic Jay, gonna have to have a snoop over this at JF! What paint did you use to paint the rear mate? Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 i used acid primer..then normal gloss black and clear lacquer combo from Halfords mate.. Quote
AdamB Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Nice one mate, did you sand it down at all? Or just literally acid primed and painted? Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 sanded a few areas down, cleared up any little fragments, then sprayed..more then welcome to have a look at jf dude, think im only one with my ecu set up Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 so much better then any standalone mate..its well worth the cash, give it 10 out of 10 Quote
maddox710 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 so much better then any standalone mate..its well worth the cash, give it 10 out of 10For the price they seem really goood, might look going down omex route when i come round to forgein mine. Quote
TrisK Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Am sure the rev counter works off the dizzy trigger input mate. So if you still have the wires for that, will be worth trying. Failing that can you not use the crank trigger?From the omex install guide The tachometer output can directly drive any tachometer that is normally controlled by an ECU. If the tachometer is from a vehicle where it was originally driven from the coil negative then you may need to use a ‘tacho driver’ available from Omex to give a voltage spike to trigger the tacho. Some very old tachos were ‘current’ driven and triggered from coil positive. Omex can supply a convertor box to allow these to work.Was good to meet you on Saturday mate. Car looks great, and that coil set up is the tidiest I've ever seen! Quote
