MustakimQZ Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Nice. Did you shave 2 seconds from the brakes upgrade? Quote

JamesD89 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Some epic jdm bits on this Troy, the wings look amazing. Nice to see the lap times tumbling as bits are being added too. Good work. Quote
Gainzy Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Get that k1 on that should bring the time down! what more plans you got? Quote
EP82 Touge Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Yes very much looking forward to getting the K1-200V on. There are a few things I want to do first though. Quote
MustakimQZ Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Was it relatively easy to find a k1 over there? Quote
starletezy Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 This EP looks so right!! perfect mods Quote
EP82 Touge Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 The K1-200V's do pop up every now and then over here, but still not the cheapest option around. Starletezy: Thanks mate. Quote
Gainzy Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 The K1-200V's do pop up every now and then over here, but still not the cheapest option around. Starletezy: Thanks mate.How much out of curiosity? What other turbo's are other people using Quote
EP82 Touge Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 A second hand Blitz turbo is still worth 90,000Y-100,000Y over here. Quite a lot when you consider a reasonable Starlet is only worth around 200,000Y. To be honest I haven't come across many other Starlet's racing. This guy is apart of the same car club, so looking forward to finding out a bit more about the set-up. Quote
Amjad Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Looking good man! A second hand Blitz turbo is still worth 90,000Y-100,000Y over here.

This guy is apart of the same car club, so looking forward to finding out a bit more about the set-up. Been in love with this GT for years now! I was following his Youtube channel and Carview blog, but there hasn't been any new material in a while Quote
Gainzy Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Great stuff looks crazy low that. Can't believe the k1 still goes for that price Quote

Amjad Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 About 1:02. YouTube channel is starlet_sin of something like that Quote
MustakimQZ Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 About 1:02. YouTube channel is starlet_sin of something like thatThanks. I'll look it up Quote
EP82 Touge Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Plenty of good videos on that car. From my knowledge it's running a Blitz K1-200V and HKS F-Con computer. Hopefully I will get a chance to check it out in more detail shortly. I think a best time somewhere in the 1:03's. Quote
MustakimQZ Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 You're not that far off. Be interesting to see once you have the k1 and brakes in. Quote
EP82 Touge Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Update: AE111 calipers (front)New disks (front and back)Project MU N1 Racing pads (front and back) Back to the track for a testing session and bed them in.A slight improvement on the best time to 1:07.5 Edited February 12, 2016 by EP82 Touge Quote
EP82 Touge Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Update:Carpet removedSound deadning removedLighter, lower seat rail installedGearbox oil changedJDM-EP Spree-R fittedTom's grille and headlight duct paintedBack to the track. No improvement in time unfortunately, but I can't really compare as the track was damp and slippery with all cars a little off the pace. Quote
Amjad Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Did you feel any difference with the wing? Quote
EP82 Touge Posted February 22, 2016 Author Posted February 22, 2016 I think the wing is effective, in that it works. I really didn't expect any reduction in time until I get the front aero sorted to balance it out. I did my quickest last sector, which makes sense with the wing helping around the last corner of Tsukuba. The car felt more stable under brakes and around the higher speed corners. I did loose a little top speed down the track and noticed more understeer, but this could be a combination of pushing a little harder, tyres getting old/worn and also the track conditions on the day.

daniel_g Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I love the look of that! Always wanted a white square light, not many left though :/ Quote
