Ivan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hi everyone,Well i said i would start making kits for starlets and finally we have done it. We currently have the TD04L kit, an inlet manifold and a few other bits and peices.RoadRunner is a Sydney based fabrication company that makes creations on high performance cars. They work on all sorts of cars, and all sorts of tasks.If you are from the Sydney area, RoadRunner can install most components, and can do custom fabrications aswell. From intercoolers, engine swaps, custom exhaust manifolds and wiring in computers. They do it all, and do it all very well.We are looking at expaning the different types of kits like CT9 and T25 upgrades.We will also be looking into some suspension products (braces that whiteline dont make), plug-in computers, exhaust system kits and ofcourse intercooler kits.We have all our current items listed in our own new section:http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showforum=15 (thanks heaps Enzo for providing that for us)Here are some examples of the work RR does:Fernando Wiehrl's 180... There have been quite a few changes to the car so ill get the latest pics after saturday's driftday. Customers Cressida and an example of the welding Here is a quick example of what our manifolds look like:Exhaust ManifoldExhaust ManifoldInlet ManifoldInlet ManifoldThanks,Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could run a bigger throttle too.If you are planning on turbocharging the car at any point, then its well worth it. Its the type of modification that works very well with other mods, but on its own (with a naturally aspirated engine) you might find it only helps top end and thats all.It definately would make a difference, but to what extent is the question.Regards,Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are interested in a quad throttle body setup, we may be able to sort something out for you PM me exactly what you are building, and what you expect to achieve out of it and i can guide you into the right direction. If you are doing n/a work, then you will have to do alot of work to get some figures but you will get there with persistence, and it would be nice to see someone get some power without a turbo for a change.Regards,Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackTarw Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 quad throttle body? Sweeeeeet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 That sil-eighty is beautiful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 That sil-eighty is beautiful!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>HAH! Wait for it to go drifting this weekend and you will see the S15 front end, along with a big hole in the front wing where our new cooler fits in. We make ducting for the coolers (air and oil), and have changed the ignition with bigger coils and leads and fueling has been changed aswell.Ill get pics soon Regards,Ivan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Nooooooo...... sil-eighty's are so cool and rare in the UK. Do your strawberry conversion on a cheapo S13 if you have to My bro's willing to donate his S13 for the conversion ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
