So here it is. I traded my kp62 4agte Starlet for this st205 since I just love the gt4s and had not owned one in a few years. The car had a built engine with a gt3071r turbo on it. 3rd gear was busted and it had a bad leak in the downpipe. So i put in a few days of work building a new downpipe and got the car on the road just to find that it used water so probably blown headgasket. So out with the engine and sold that as it was. Started to look for a new engine and why not use a beams redtop
Found a redtoop in Ireland with cambelt failure. It turned out it only had 4 bent valves but Ferreas weren´t that expensive. In the trade for the car I also got a -00 5sfe block, autoverdi rods and cp-pistons that I sold him a few years back, all still unused. The pistons wouldn´t work with the beams head so I customordered a set from J&E.
And in search for a turbo I was looking for something in the 650hp range but due to availability here in Sweden I ended up ordering a Borg Warner EFR8374 good for 750-800hp. Shit happens 8)
Placed an order for a os giken cluth and toda valvesprings from Japan. And custom cams from catcams.
As I find black wheels really boring I set out looking for something else. First priority was weight so I went with Enkei RPF1 in SBC finish, 17x9. The car had spacers that change pcd to 114,3 so that´s what I got but as the other wheels were sitting to far out and these would add 2mm I would have to modify the spacers. But when I got the wheels I found I only had 5mm of clearance from the caliper. That ment new brakes as I love the wheels to much Rotors are 330x28mm with Brembo radial mounted calipers from an Alfa 159. Also bought Project Mu HC+ brake pads all round as they worked great on a Skyline gtr I had before.
That´s pretty much where I´m at right now. Waiting for a block girdle and then I will get the block machined.
I took the gearbox apart and everything on 2nd and 3rd gear was toast so new parts are ordered.
