EP70-PT Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Got some parts from Toyota for the "new" engine, gonna freshen it up and give it a good service before throwing it in, here's what I got:And here's what I've been waiting for for so long... All wrapped up, comes with driveshafts and motor mounts because... It has an OEM LSD box!!! wasn't on the mods list but hey, at least it's done And a little joke ahaha Edited April 2, 2017 by EP70-PT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 You joke, but it wouldn't be that big of a job to do! All the bits you require are bits that people have removed from their cars... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EP70-PT Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Just an update on this beast! New engine did 10.000km already on my Starlet and it didn't miss a beat, so happy with it! the LSD is awesome too, just powers through twisty roads! Went to Portugal and back, which totals 3200km and the trip was awesome, no overheating, just 98 and go! (A lot of it *cries in japanese*) Dyno'd it there at 144hp! Next on the list is definitely suspension and chassis reinforcement, it really needs it... And needs better brakes as the ultimax 2 pads I have fade like hell, to the point that I had almost no brakes at all while going downhill in a one car road near my home town, not to mention the only thing that will stop you is the river in the bottom of the valley... need a rear disc conversion asap! (I'm also tired of my wheels ahahahah) While there, she got a new butt Lots more to come, wiill make it to japfest no doubt next time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EP70-PT Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks man! it's a handful, soon it'll have some new bits!! little update and future plans: Car runs like a dream, no problems at all, engine has near 0 oil consumption, no smoke at all, really happy with it! Next on the cards is coilovers, for sure (BC Racing) and a panhard rod! Then it's new wheels time as I'm sick of the speedlines, (KONIG HYPERGRAM) same specs brake overhaul, can't decide if I keep the stock glanza brakes and just put in some shiny new competition rotors + pads... I'm really happy with how it brakes, problem is heat :/ then it's time for cosmetic changes, really want a set of carbon fiber wings, would also love a carbon reverse scoop, plate surround and a spoiler of sorts Oh and custom fmic too, jam ecu and crank up the boost!!

Jerrypeeren Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Hi there! Just read the whole blog, amazing progress! I have a question about the projector conversion... What type of projector did you use, and how did you install it into the headlights? Thanks P.S. I sent you a PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Credit were credit is due looking great. What size was the itb and did you get any Dyno graphs. I'm after converting my clocks to a glanza v set if you could help me it would be much appreciated. And the projector headlights I'm very interested in. Sorry about all the questions I'm very new to this car. Edited April 6, 2020 by Sam44 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
