You don't need to spend a fortune and he certainly doesn't need to go forged:confused: if he doesn't have that much spare cash.

Decent gains can be got relatively cheaply. If I were you my shopping list would be.

An EJ racing ported manifold
Gut your cat
RX7 TMIC
relocate the air filter
HKS/toy tuning adjustable actuator
Fuel Pressure Reg
Fuel cut defender

and up the boost to 1 bar(you will need to get fueling checked on a wideband after this)

suspension; some tein lowering springs would be good and maybe new standard bushings all round.

Brakes; those discs are a waste of time just get some stainless steel braided lines, decent pads if you need new ones and some new fluid


I may have left a few things out but thats the jist.

everyone always advises getting handling and brakes sorted before you up the power. So that would mean discs pads, suspension , bushes etc etc. However i just went straight in with td04 or my glanza and loved it, but its all up to you mate. Mcleod has a td04 kit for sale if you look in the forsale section and already have a bit saved up :)

I think when he says everything has been done he actually means everything has been done on starlets and may want to do something different. At least i hope thats what he means.

if you get a car that no one has then parts are rare, expensive and you often have to get custom bits made.
when i first got my GT they werent very common and parts were fairly scarce, had to go genuine for quite a few bits. now its alot cheaper to run and modify them.

what sort of car were you thinking of changing too next?

I know how you feel, its nice to have the urge to do something different, makes you feel like you've got something unique(a bit special)

Unfortunately the engine conversions on these cars are not the most cost effective i.e 4AGE + turbo or 3SGTE. They are the only engines i would personally consider if doing a swap. Both have been done but are most definitely far from common.
