The Story So Far.... (with Pictures)

Right, I thought I better put some pictures up of my motor and the modifications me and Lewis (LegacyTurbo) have done so far.

First off.... I bought the car roughly six months ago for the grand sum of £975 ;) although it did have 158k on the clock. HOWEVER the kind persons that owned the car before hand had taken it to Nissan main dealer for EVERY service and in that time had had the engine rebuilt completely because of wear to the number 4 cylinder. So included in the rebuild were complete rebore of the block and oversized pistons/rings fitted and all new mains and big end barings :D The engine is pretty fresh hence why I bought the car.

Unbeknown to me was that the turbo was pretty much knackered and after a month I was blowing smoke across most of Dorset. However I was going to change the turbo anyhow so it wasn't too much of a crisis.

Anyway time for some pics....

Body work is staying as is. I'm not a great fan of massive bumpers, it works on some cars but I like being as subtle as possible. Only thing I might contemplate is S14a sideskirts (if I can find a pair) and i'm also after a JDM Silvia grill maybe. Car needs a complete re-spray really but i'd rather get all the mechanicals in place first. Got these wheels to go on her ASAP....

Starlet GT 1.3 forged engine, tdo4 turbo @ 1.25bar = 252bhp = SOLD :(

EDIT: Charade GTxx 993cc three cylinder turbo, 173bhp @ 1.4bar (should hit 200bhp with a larger throttle body, removing stupid high lift cams and a bit more boost)
