Starbo Moorley Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Had a Starlet 3-4 years ago, was a badass car, broke it for parts, owned a few badass cars since but non of them quite made me smile like my old GT did, so I decided to buy another.Now I don't know if is just me, or have Starlets gone up in price considerably compared to 3-4 years ago? Anyway i've been looking for a reasonably priced one for a few month's but it was proving difficult, then a work colleague decided he wanted to sell his on and offered it too me for a very good price so....She's pretty bogo as you can see from the pics: Japspeed cat back exhaust (cat still present)Bleed valve at 10 psi and spikes to 13AirfilterBailey dump valveLowered on shock's and springsDMV wheel'sOE aeroNardi steering wheelRazo gearbox and pedalsOE armrestOE parcelshelf speakersRecaro seat and railSo far I've removed the Bailey dumpvalve (they sound awful) and plumbed back in the stock recirculation valve, swapped out the worn out recaro and replaced it with my Bride seat from one of my JZX's.This car isn't going to be as wild ad my previous GT but what will be done will be done properly and I want it to be very JDM.I am in 3 minds in what route to go Turbo wise, engine will be staying stock as my budget is limited (buying a house)My 3 choices are:Td04Tf035Blitz k1I know Td04 is the easy route as I've been there and done it, but the quicker spool and power delivery of the other two (more so the Blitz K1) are very tenpting. Anyone had much experience with the k1 ?Aesthetically i think a change of wheel's, front splitter/bumper and a Tom's wing will be all I do.Will keep this up to date as possible even with the little fiddly shit, cause that's what everyone loves !Comments and critism welcome good or bad. Thanks for looking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Car looks clean! Good purchase! I've had a K1 on mine for a good few years now, used it as a daily for a while too, and I absolutely love it. MANY people have "advised" me to get rid and go TD04 but anyone thats been in with me when the K1 gets going (which takes NO time at all) will attest to how good it is. Phil.

Starbo Moorley Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Kinda stuff I like to hear !If you don't mind me asking, what figures are you making on the k1 ? Got a dyno graph at all ? only one I've seen is on the comparison graph that socks put up a week ago or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Welcome back Go TF035! Much easier to get hold of one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I havent had mine on the rollers in a good few years. She ran 183bhp I think, that was on a stock ECU with the decat literally hanging off the studs and some damaged spark leads - none of which we had noticed at the time sadly. There is a graph buried somewhere in the depths of my build thread. I hope to get her back on someday now that those issues have been remedied and a Blitz ECU installed. Phil.

Starbo Moorley Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Working to a 5k budget on this one including the car which isn't spending too much for me haha.Ordered a new boost controler and a lightweight flywheel too on saturdayGot some gauge's yesterday that I'm gonna fit and wire in, not going to put sandwich plate on yet, will do that when I pull everything off for the tf035 swap.Car has a fancy radio with equalizer and a sub which ain't my thing so will pull all that out today aswell.All the bits I've ordered should be with me end of this week/early next week so once I've had the clutch and flywheel fitted I'll be ready to do the turbo swap !
