Jamie5414 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) So went out for a spin, got a video of how it sounds with the baffle in, Very raspy at mid-high revs, but sounds completely standard at low revs which is nice for driving normally. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX52D1Xzxs4&feature=youtu.be Spent this weekend helping my brother with bits and bobs putting his car back together for April 1st tax time! (SUMMER IS COMING!!!!) The speedlines look shit hot I just love white on white! I'll have to see how the little starlet can hold up against his RS 133 Edited March 16, 2014 by Jamie5414 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie5414 Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Not much going on here just now, fitted some bonnet spacers, battery will be fitted soon but got a training course for the next two weeks. Gave her a good clean in the engine bay + interior then a good polish & wax, exhaust and baffle came up good with some scotch-brite and very strong de-greaser Baffle still has the black coat/paste around where it's welded, i'll have to clean it up good one weekend, too cold outside now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie5414 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks Lads I felt very happy coming home today, as I was walking to my car 3 lads where looking at it, and said "that's a nice tidy example you have there, don't see many of these around here" I was delighted I've only ever seen two other starlets around my area!

Jamie5414 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Well this morning was a early start, up at 6:30am to go down to Wallace Performance to get my brothers MOT, Corner Balancing and Laser Wheel Alignment done. Back just now and waiting for a call to go and collect it later on (hopefully), what a drive it was there, managed to keep up with him most of the way but he pulled away after about 75/80 (OK, maybe it was about 50, but I didn't see the speedo LOL) on the duel carriage way haha! A pic of mine and my brothers car, and the guys' at wallace performance RX7 Full Size Starlets are so fun, even though it's only a little 1.3 NA!

Jamie5414 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 It sounded so mean when he arrived, we where a few minutes early before they opened the shop and he pulled up in that, instant jaw drop haha! Rotary engine on idle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Picked back up around 6pm and back down the dual carriage way we go Full SizeFull SizeFull Size Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Starting to collect bits for 4efe-t conversion! What turbo should I go for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micrat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 ;) she's looking soooo nice, almost a shame to turbo it and lose that manifold! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Haha I know mate, but It'll look almost identical, ram style turbo manifold going in it's place The n/a mani will be up for sale soon, once I've got all the bits strapped on her!

micrat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Dibs and good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimlols Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ooo yes 4efe-t! What turbo are you going for? Personally I'd be building a beast na...then strap a ct9 to it for a bit of boost and mega responsiveness! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 maybe a tongs ct9 or some vf series i'm unsure yet...I was looking at the side mount gtx2863r kit zisco has for sale but I think that'll be a bit laggy for me haha, and it would never see it's full potential on 4efe engine anyway, 0.5/0.6 bar :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philfrost432 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi mate how much you wanting for that manifold as my mate will have that of you soon as you want too sell it cheers love your build man looking good keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
