andyllewellyn Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Picked up a very nice starlet sr from a freedomcore today, it is really a nice example and exactly as described which was a breath of fresh air.Don't have any plans for the car as yet but will be reading up on what will best serve my budget, just want a nice sleeper and as it is such a nice base it seems worth giving it some love(no tail pipe jokes)Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Ah you got it nice one! When you say sleeper are we talking turbos?Glad the cars stayed on the forum.........keep us posted with your progress! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 As above, glad its still about, dave's a sound lad so you got nowt to worry about Sleeper...*Cough* 4AGE *Cough* ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyllewellyn Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 thinking of bike carbs and light weight, do not yet know if this will work but will see.It is a great base platform and don't usually run with the pack, ideal no limit a 190bhp celica vvti, 1.5 yaris,vvti, i have come from mostly vw's and there is so much you can do with relitivly little so going to see how it goes.really impressed so far!cheersandy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Did you swap with dave as I now he ended up with a vw Or just coincidence?And celica 190's (2zz) has been done in a gt shell by woodsport. So it can be done but is a lot of custom work.Yaris lump is a bit pointless as the gain wouldn't be worth the hassle. (105hp) may aswell put a 5efhe in as it just bolts in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyllewellyn Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 No have been lumbering about in a nissan almera(1999 1.4) for the last 4 years so itching to get more bang for buck with my driving experience, hope to do some tame track days but also keep as a daily for now, the 5e sounds the best route as it is just a swap as you say, maybe g6 6 speed box too, se how it go'sAndy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
