daniel_g Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Yeah been talking to him recently bloke knows his stuff with these 4paws! His said to change 1st gear for a gt gear and do the yaris 5th to get up to 175mph lol box is coming out tomorrow and being sent in on Monday so full steam aheadYeah man he knows his stuff alright. He has imported about 30 4paws over the years Quote
weeman Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Tonight's time for a test drive again Went with a gt input shaft and gears with the gearbox rebuild the 4paw gears were 1 tooth less on each so will let ya all know how it compares to the old Quote
starletgt-shady Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Hope it all goes good very interested in the outcome Quote
daniel_g Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah me too!Has that rear diff found its way in yet ? Quote
Scoobysvx Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 How are you finding it mate? Have you put it through it's passes yet? Quote
weeman Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Ended up having the engine back out as it wouldn't start due to alignment issues! But on another note finally got to drive it yesterday not really put it through its paces yet but so far the box feels alot better being a little longer so well chuffed! Working away this week so will be getting a good clean up next weekend as it looks like a barn find atm haha Quote
starletgt-shady Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Great new about the gearbox. What was the issue with the alignment?? Quote
weeman Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Somehow I'd lined it up everytime I've had it apart previously without the gearbox dowels this time it didn't want to know easy fix couple of new dowels and jobs a gooden Quote

I ended up whipping the engine out attaching it all together and dropping it back in as one. Quote
weeman Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 had the old beast on the road for a few days now upped the boost ever so slightly and with the changes to the box this thing has changed completely il get some vids up for you lot! It comes off the line like crazy now Quote
weeman Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 13.0 is my best so far till it started playing up last year I'm tempted to take a trip to santa pod at the weekend but will see how it goes Quote
weeman Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Got some use out of the tractor last night at kleers summer wednesday meet at brands hatch full evening on track and it didn't miss a beat! Had great fun picking off a few cars Edited April 9, 2015 by weeman Quote
weeman Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 It was the nuts mate have a few videos battling it out with a 430bhp track prepped rs500 Sierra on my facebook Quote
weeman Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I wanted to change the looks of the tractor a little decided to go down the livesports route first bit of the kit fitted in carbon wrap atm till I have the rest so I can have it all sprayed together! Not sure if I should fit the gt arch trims or not tho Quote
littlegreenmonster Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah man i think so the gt arch trim will just make it look a little beefier imo Quote
akaye4000 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 my trims never fitted well on the frp wings Quote
weeman Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 Big thanks to Michael for dropping these off to me today! Just the front bumper to source then it's time for a bit of paint Quote
weeman Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 Thought I would have ago at sorting painting the side of things out myself seems I've never had a go at it before! After figuring out how to use the spray gun rather than I rattle can I'm well pleased with the outcome the sanding and flatting side of things is tideous but the end result was well worth it I think Quote
weeman Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 had a little blast out at a local drag racing meet all good fun didn't get the times I wanted but that's just how it goes I suppose but was still great fun Couple videos and a nice pic from the day Quote
weeman Posted September 16, 2015 Author Posted September 16, 2015 Anyone in the market for a well specced 85 give me a shout before I break it for parts! Nothing wrong with the car what so ever just time to move on from the starlets and into the evo's for me Quote
daniel_g Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Ahh man if only ���Buy the rolling shell with drivetrain Quote
Ep82gi Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Buy the rolling shell with drivetrain I wish I could I just have enough to keep the go rolling at the moment Quote
