Thought I should say hello
Hi Folks.. Been subscribed to this site for a short while now and thought I should introduce myself as I'm finding lots of useful info here...
I have an ep82 JDM starlet that I bought and turned into an autotest car... Am making changes to it after pretty much every event as I find out what makes it go quicker... Here are a few photos of the work I have done to it in the first few weeks... Some of you may be wondering what autotesting is and I think this video might give you some idea of what’s involved.. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Autotes...-Aug_175390.htm And here is the car being driven by someone who knows what he's doing... http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Autotes...cket_171439.htm Here are some photos of the modifcations which took 3 weeks... Most of which involved weight saving.. It now stands at 620kgs but there is scope to reduce it by another 30 to 40 kgs.. Here's what it looked like when I got it.. Minus a few bits I had already removed..   And here's during the work...         And here's the end result... When I get a chance I'll get some pics of the interior after all the work...    |

Thanks.. Its all about maximum acceleration in first & reverse gears and good handling.. With a 100 bhp N/A engine its OK but more power is needed, thus the intake & exhaust mods which have made the engine a lot more responsive.. Was really surprised just how much difference the motorbike exhaust made.. Feels like a different engine.. Very quick to rev and responds to the throttle a lot more sweetly..
I'll keep developing the car.. The car is screaming out for a torsen diff... |
