Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 unfortunately after doing some research and making my list of bits for the supercharger i decided to check insurance, and rather annoyingly they dont see my vision in the same way as i do, as they decided that it would be £9987 for a year so i may be adjusting my plan...

Flynn Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Save for a nice turbo lump and use your developing mechanical skills and slowly forge it, then when you've got some no claims and a bit of age on your side, drop it in and go nuts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 its very tempting! but im also drawn towards keeping the starlet as a daily and getting an NA supra to play with too, as the insurance on one is less than a GT Turbo for me for some reason? and an MR2 etc, cant get rid of the starlet, love her to much the Volvos going instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Insurance is a weird thing. A fabia vrs is £70 cheaper a year than my starlet- it's like hey don't want old cars on the road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Yea it sucks :/ I thought while I'm on there Il look at some other car prices, Na supra was 1700! Mr2 mk2 was 2300, ep3 type R 2700, Impreza was 3700, s14a 2100, and a glanza was 1100! So not sure how they work that lot out but hey ho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Funny thing is they don't realise how easy it is to make glanzas a lot quicker, all they see is a little 1.3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Yea I know :/ Il have to change my plans a little to suit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Nice little addition I working on, got another NA bumper, which I've been rubbing back and is currently being primed, going to be getting some carbon fibre wrap on it to smarten up the rear end Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 got my air filter and induction kit fitted yesterday getting slightly better throttle response i think which is good, only thing I've noticed is now and again when i start the car it idles rough for about 10 seconds then runs fine again? going to change the plugs soon as they havent been changed in a while and hopefully looking to get a high flow fuel pump, anyone able to recommend one??

Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 which bit mate? i can list off all the bits i used if that helps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Looks lovely mate, I really want a new exhaust manifold Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 The filter is a Carbon Dynamics airbox, heatproof induction pipe and samco adapter. I got the filter off of Flynn, I think it's on DemonTweeks, haven't really looked anywhere else tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Looks lovely mate, I really want a new exhaust manifoldMake one dude I'm debating cutting up my original stock manifold and making up a fancy manifold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffrosie Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 A nice 4-2-1 exhaust manifold would be nice if it didn't cost as much as the American obx. Will free up the engine as most Toyota exhaust systems are factory restrictive.You'll should see how bad the factory 2.0 BEAMS manifold and system really are!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 No body seems to want to touch the SR :/ although I've just seen JDMginge's RW manifold and it looks the tits so I think I'll get in touch with him. Ha ha yeh Toyota did a lot with the induction side of the beams along with a few other bits but the exhaust mani is poo! Mind you the stock one on my gt4 was pretty decent.
