Scoobysvx Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Bad luck with the fire buddy, I'm glad to hear the volvic was to hand! 😂 Have the meisters been changed since I purchased them or are they the same? How are you finding them or do you need them set up properly before you can tell? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How are you finding them or do you need them set up properly before you can tell?Yeah man be keeping a few bottles in the car just incase! The CRD+ are they are the replacememts for the ZetaR. First impressions they are really good, and acutaully fairly comfy in the soft setting, lots of adjustment in them too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Managed to take a half day today so i could actually work on the car. Swapped the 4paw sump onto the 4EFE, using a FTE oil filter housing too. Put the JDM N/a thermostat housing on aswell. FTE rocker. FTE Pas brackets. FTE flywheel and Exedy 3puk bolted on.Once all that shit was on bolted the box on, with great difficulty, 4paws are brutal to change engines on the deck, even with a crane. Then fired it all back in the bay and built back up the ancillarys and turbo kit.This was what caused the fire..And the replacement, some proper heavy duty hydraulic line which has a couple braided layers too. Rated to 850bar!And just to tip me over the fuckin edge turns out my turbo feed hose has melted inside too, so that will need replaced. Gonna nip round a few local hydraulic line companies tomorrow and see if they can sort / replace it.Fuckin pile of sheeeeeeeet.Dan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_EP91 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Seen you working on this earlier, beeped the horn but dont think you realised it was me haha. You be heading to Crail now then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nah didnt see ya man! Im still aiming to go yeah, its good to go apart from the oil line.Might not go up the 1/4 mile though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayc-glanza17 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Glad your keeping with it buddy.The new meisters r unbeleivable.my tuner set mine up today and has said are some of the best he has seen.Feel good on road too.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yeah man i'll stick with it for now Thats promising then! They do seem awesome, im gonna spend a bit of time on the hoffman alignmemt machine in work setting them up. Thinking -2 camber, 0.5 and - 0.5 toe with 16 clicks in and see how i get on with the ride height. Not touching the preload.Because the 4paw uses a shorter panhard i havent got round to getting an aftermarket adjustable one modified yet, so the back will have to stay as is.

Alex_EP91 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was in the black fiesta mate, good to see its coming back to life, never see any starlets around Stirling haha, should have mine ready pretty soon too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Was up Crail today with a few lads, was a good laugh, rain stayed off, car performed well considering the turbo is totally shagged and just turns 10w40 into blue smoke, like clouds of it, think i near chocked half the crowd haha.There were probably about 10 starlets up today, majority running up the 1/4 which was nice to see Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Bought a few bits for this recently. Set of front poly drop link bushes.Measured the OEM RARB and found it was only 12mm, its basically a bit of string. Got a pair of poly D bushes for it.Next up was the FARB which is 18mm on a 4paw, pair of poly D bushes for them too, had to buff a few mm off the bottom.There are no off the shelf bushes available for the rear axle and arms on 4paws so bought some 2 part poly shit off ebay.Will try a few non important parts first before i set about any axle bushes haha.Got a TD04 off PaulstarletSR, he isnt actually dead he just doesnt like this forum. Sent that away to Midland turbo. It came back looking brand new! Although it was a good bit dearer than expected to get rebuilt, due to blades being damaged or something.. also didnt even get an invoice from them, which i thought was a bit shitty considering id spend a lot.Fitted it earlier today, still only running 0.6bar so its not mad quick but its ok for now My ultra racing lower 4 point brace wont arrive for another month, anyones guess if it even fits a 4paw.Then after that comes its back to Stainless Creations to get the exhaust modifed at the front section to clear the ARB and brace Thats about it, engine still smokes like a bastard, stem seals and headgasket need doing, ticking time bomb.

daniel_g Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah insurance is a bastard haha, i was seriously struggling to get insurance for the 85 for a decent price.Am gonna keep an eye out for a N/a in a month or two then take the 85 off the road before the gritters are out!

Dale SR Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I have allways thought my insureance has been ok prepared to some of the prices you hear what people pay in bigger places.
