shorty Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well whats better than a 4wd starlet??? TWO 4wd starlets haha. I couldnt say no when i found it as it looks soooooo damn mint! Its done 53k miles and is silly clean looking inside and out. Not totaly sure if im gonna use it as a runaround/green lane toy or maybe sell it on and let someone else have the joy of 4wd ownership. I was more attracted to it as its a 5door and you just dont seem them realy. I tried to stay quiet but im too excited about this haha. and thats all im sharing for now haha. Its the 1.3 100ps jdm engine however there is a 5e sat in the garage doing nout behind the goat atm so who knows. Eta is sept 8th so watch this space............in a few months lol.

Socks Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Haha, shorty. Never expect that! If your going for big power on your EP85 You should keep it for spares... The gearbox/ diff/ center shaft. etc Looks awesome though, would be worth a fortune if it was a 3dr! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thats cooooool as fuck.Think you should sell it to me though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy SR Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 full on sleeper this or gt turbo kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Got gt kit on the 3door 85 mate as when i bought it the jdm rear bumper had been swapped so i kitted it with oem gt parts from grants old gt with a few other choice parts ;) but this is staying very clean and unmolested on the outside. As for sleeper dont know tbh. Got a 5e sat around that need a home some when but the 100ps 4e are wicked nippy engines so i have no big plans yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Still cant believe you have two, thats just greedy haha. That 199 silver is one of the best colours starlets came in aswell. Is the 5E not down on power from the 100ps 4E though ? But 5E has more tuning potential id imagine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Cheers mate. I hadnt planned it but my 3 series e46 has played up a few times and just board of fixing it now lol. Got tons of starlet bits and know them inside out so thought i wonder whats about. Then grant said a second 4wd would be good as if i blow the gear on the goat I've got spares and we can just make the spare 4wd into a fwd. So i was sold on it and bought it haha. The 5e is around 90hp ish iirc but from what im reading the 100ps comes from the map on the ecu so the 5e would give more torque and the same power in theory. Then mild na tune shud see a spritly car. Not that i thought about it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Haha, pumped all the tyres up properly this eve. Warmed her up and took her for a short run up and down the "private lane" by my house just to blow the cobwebs out after her long trip on the boat from the motherland. Let deebo have a little blast too. Then showed him a bit of 4 wheel launch just to make sure all the running gear hooks up properly. I have an issue now though as every time i go near it i become a little more attached to it. Maybe i should just have two?? Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
