And this is my other beast, might as well show you guys.

Its a starlet GT which has had an MR2 Turbo engine conversion which is a 2.0litre turbo running a MOTEC ECU... Its producing around 330HP @1.2bar on stock engine and turbo......... At some point i will be getting done a fully forged engine on a GT3082 turbo running around 550BHP...

This was also completely stock when i bought it 4 years ago as a 1.3 turbo.

New Photos of it

Nice EK, v clean engine.

Crazy second car but look great fun 330 BHP in a car which weighs as much as a fart lol.

One thing just would bug me get a new gearnob for you ek dont like the red one.
 
@Vtec-boi..... yeah the reason i resprayed it was it was a bit flackey and thought i'd be a tad different... But i would agree there. When i get some time will get it all off agin and go for all red maybe with carbon plug cover....

@Ben_Anderson™.....
Thanks bud. Fun isnt the word, the car is lunatic! It was my daily when the conversion was complete for about 10 months lol...... Then i decided to buy an EK9 for the daily, even though its quickly changing to a potential track car LOL.....

As for the gear knob, you know my friend said the same thing, but i actually really like it, especially the feel........

@RVM.... Cheers dude!
 
yuup, i resprayed the car myself :)

I wanted to be different and as the car was driven hard and dirty i wanted it easily repairable by myself.

@absolutleysideways, thanks mate, yeah i remember your name on there! lol....
 
Lovin the 9 Dan:nice: and that starbo must be a serious beast on the road:cool:
It gets me thinking about maybe getting another one, they're pretty addictive cars:)

Thanks buddy :nice:

oh they are really addictive littke cars especially when you start playing with them...

I have to admit though if i didnt have the 3SGTE engine in there i would sell the car and go all out on the EK9, but then i would miss the huge power the starlet has. EK9 has soo much potential and in my head there are soo many plans.

Ive done pretty much everything to the starlet, sometimes you just want a new project. We shall see after the rebuild.
