NAME : David
MODEL : Starlet GT
YEAR : 1990
ENGINE : 4efte, top mount t25 turbo, 38mm external wastegate+screamer pipe, front mount intercooler, trd leads, pod filter, mines ecu, hks exhaust system. alloy radiator
SUSPENSION: Espiller springs, adjustable rear sway bar, anit lift kit, adjustable panhard rod. 15x6.5 mags with MY01 195/50/r15 on the rear and RE001 195/50/r15 on the front.

Hey guys about time I put a bit of info up here.

Starlet started out as a pretty tidy automatic stock standard GT with only 118,000ks on the clock. Picked it up for pretty cheap at the start of last year then set out to converting it to manual. Got hold of some quad lights so they were the first thing to go on the car.
Got in touch with Finx off this site and after a bit of chat about the manual conversion we came up with a decent figure I was happy with and he set to work. Took a little longer than expected but when I got it back it was the best modification ever and its still going strong a year later! :tup:

Then came my first round of modifications, espiller springs, jam ecu, front mount intercooler and a hks super dragger exhaust systems. Still running the stock ct9, was creeping up to about 11psi or so on the boost gauge at this time. Car went alright but wasnt going to be beating much on the road so when Garreths T25 turbo setup came up for sale I bought that.

Early this year I finally got around to fitting the new turbo setup with help from Ryan (Finx). We had that installed fairly quick and a few days later after getting the last few bits and pieces my car was running. Was a hell of alot faster than the ct9 turbo at only 7psi.

Currently the car is still running that t25 setup, just need a couple more things before I start running some more boost.

Will get better photos when I give it a clean tonight 8)
