Hey guys, I thought we could have a bit of fun with the upcoming dyno day and run a competition to see who can guess closest to the little black beast's power figure. Here are all the specs and lets start bidding. You got to remember that this is a track weapon and demands respect :no:

*1997 model Toyota Starlet 3dr ADM (Aus Spec)

*1.3 ltr DOHC 4EFE or SR13DE in Nissan terms

*260,000+ Kms

*Many years of shameless abuse from both me and Dj On Ice

*Recent Oil and filter change

*Rear end Parking damage

*Lightweight wheel nuts

*1 Skylines Australia Texikhana competition

*Skylines Performance sticker

*Several skidpan days

*New Clutch!!

*Fluffy Dice

Exact power figure to the nearest whole number

I will take suggestions for the prize but now it stands at a Free drive of the Mighty Starlet, but not on the streets, no, somewhere you can handle it, like an abandoned runway or racetrack.

And for all those serious guessers, I will be running only the best, BP Ultimate with Octane boost to get those few extra watts

Here goes first bid

TURISMO 15 FWKW, Im underguessing so I'm not to dissapointed :)

P.S. No cheating and finding the factory KW's of the net, because they would be useless after all this car has gone through

OK... I haven't logged on in a while and for those of you who don't know that I own the Starlet (how depressing LOL :-P).... REECE (TURISMO) didn't ask me about this!!!!!.... ALL THE SAME!... Much respect my brother! LMFAO... This is going to be awesome....

So come on people... can you guess it? ;-)

Oh and it should have been "Many years of SHAAAAAMELESS abuse from both me and Dj On Ice" :-P. We have so much love for that little car!

.... Wait a minute... I don't have fluffy dice in the car.... (but before you ask... yes, yes it has been christend)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
