marcogtturbo Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Just thought I'd say hi to everyone Ive been a Starlet owner for the last 5years and have had numerous GT's and GI's. I am a member on a few other Starlet forums and enjoy all the knowledge and banter found across all the starbo forums. Im sure you will all agree that you can never have enough knowledge when it comes to these little motors, which is why I joined here too Anyways, heres a few pictures of how she stands at the minute. There are a few mods on the way which Include :- custom ramhorm manifold with external wastegate and screamer, emanage ultimate and FMIC on the way. When I first got it As it is now Since Ive had the car I have compression tested the cylinders and have a relatively decent engine with all the pressures being within 1 psi of each other All brakes refurbed front and back, painted and new pads put in. New rotas front and back. And brake fluid totally drained, flushed and refilled (killer of a job but I doubt its ever been done as it was black like treacle)Uprated lowered suspension all roundRefurbished Toms C2 light weight alloysOMP deep dish wheelRemoved AirconRemoved power steeringRenewed most rad and turbo pipes with new red silicone itemsreconditioned CT9aPainted a few bits in the engine bay.Oil catch can with correct 2 PCV's plumbed inOil changed 2x within 100 kilometers so only fresh oil in Gear box oil drained and flushed 2x within 100 kilometers Theres a whole lot more but I will do a build thread at some point this week for you all Had the Starlet since Jan and only done 132 kilometers in it LOL Anyways - enough about me and the car Thanks all Mark Edited July 7, 2014 by marcogtturbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just building my own ramhorn mani with external gate. Then going FMIC and EMU to manage it. Probably TD04 down the line, but just steady away for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its out in the sticks, lol Brisbane is what most people recognise lol Cool...I lived out in Sydney for a while . I've got friends out in Brisbane......Caloundra in the Sunshine Coast.

marcogtturbo Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Its nice up the sunny coast. Im more of a country bumpkin tho The higher spec Starlets like the GT's and Glanza's are few and far between. I think Ive seen 1 in the last 6 months and its parked in my garage THeres plenty of Jap cars tho, lots and lots of evo's, scoobies and LOTS of skylines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hello and welcome. Very nice. Personally I like the standard look. Standard intercooler etc. I realise to get power it wants to be front mounted. But there is something about the hood mounted intercooler. Love it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
