Hi guys, Posted a thread which had a lot more interest in this section, so a quick reminder that we are in the meets/events section for the south east and the list is up to get involved on Sunday 22nd July for some photo's at Wembley stadium followed by a blast out through the M4 corridoor...

Hi folks, I've been a starlet owner for 8 years now (currently on second one) and am still loving it. Once in a while I drive past another starlet in London and there is always the wave however I've never actually been on a proper Starlet exclusive cruise. Anyone fancy it? Could perhaps...

Hi Gang, Just got this video edited down and online. Makes a nice change from all the standard pics of the same cars flying around. Feel free to share, of course. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUD3VNQ0jws

Still going through a load of video I generated from my last reccy visit to the Stelvio putting together new tour itineries for next year, and just uploaded this little nugget to youtube, sounds aint great, but gives a lovely feel for the weather, scenery and fun to be had on the Alpine Tour...

Hi Guys, I had to share this, not only because he is my mate but also because it is genuinely very good. Nikki is a mate of mine that was a presenter on those random 'tv babes txt in now' and gambling programmes and also won the position of Fifth Gear Presenter through a competition they...

Hi Guys, I am planning a brand new trip at the moment and wanted to open up to the forum any ideas you guys may have. Going to the Nurburgring too much and so developing a new trip in conjunction with skiddmark.com to run for their community, and if it works it will become a permanent...

I have been running my car for about 3 months with this issue now and thought I would report. Since I got my Tong Hybrid back from Turbo Dynamics where it was further hybridised (is that a word?) on stock ecu with fcd, mbc and rrfpr, it was rolling roaded where the engineer told me it is...

Hi Guys, Currently 9PSI on hybrid need 4 BAR fuel pressure on standard injectors and pump so need to sort this quickly. I think 330's will prob not be big enough to run 18PSI boost so think the next one up which would maybe be 380's or 410's or something. And a 255 Walbro to push it...

Went for a RR session yesterday and pulled 150 whp running 9PSI on my hybrid setup with AFPR. They said it was a great result and with 16PSI should see over 200 whp. They strongly recommended I get an AEM F/IC as a piggyback so they can properly map it, and also get a new fuel pump. At the...

Looking to get a Cat 2 alarm on the Starlet, can anyone recommend a good man with a van?

Hi Guys, Thought I would share. After such long trials and tribulations regarding my RGT starlet turbo project and the problems I have experienced/sorted. Project is pretty much finished (for now) so I have included a write up on my website. Part one with pics is here, part two is coming...

Just got back my hybrid for Turbo Dynamics and it has come back without the gasket that sits between turbo and coolant in/out lines. Needing to order new gasket and asap as I want her up and running for Japfest this weekend! Anyone who can help me with the part number for this gasket may...

Bought and fitted the 2nd hand Tong GT Hybrid, but I'm getting blue smoke and have decided it cant be any engine internals as it is all rebuilt and perfect condition, so my blue smoke is either old oil that has been caked in the exhaust which is burning off (only get blue smoke when engine is...

Some of you will know my on going problems with engine etc, I just rebuilt my engine for the second time after a head gasket dramatically went and I was getting a horrible tapping noise, coming from the top end. Rebuilt the engine saw big end bearings were slightly worn so replaced them...

At Silverstone yesterday I spotted the American Sunoco Daytona 24hr team with their 2011 car. Thought its definately worth putting online. I got a quick bit of film of the car leaving the pits. Dont expect any racing but it is a glimpse of an awesome new race car...

Thought I would share some pics of the ride my mate leant me whilst the GT is getting worked on again...this car has 125k miles on it and still drives amazingly well; was owned from new till 2005 by a Toyota technician, found it for my mate 5 years ago and is a real credit to Toyota; actually...

Does anyone know the clearance tolerance levels between block and head on the 4EFTE? Recently blew the head gasket. I am sure I saw a thread on this previously however cant find it now...

Went to Silverstone for a track day on the GP Circuit in the GTR, was awesome fun, although as strange as it sounds, and as awesome as the GTR is, I just feel like the Starlet is even more fun on track! You cant throw the big Nissan around the corners like you can in the GT. Anyway, here are...

Thought I would post this on here, I'm sure you'll appreciate it. Went to Silverstone to do a track day on Monday and got caught up in the middle of a PR excercise for the new Ginetta road car, looks tasty! could give the 370z a real run for its money. We have featured it and some of the...

So the car was done BUT... TONG Hybrid Turbo boosting up fine to 14psi, had the head rebuilt, new mani/decat rrfpr, clutch etc. Since got it back there has been blue smoke but I thought it was the caked on oil burning off from the exhaust as I had my previous head gasket go on me...
