Ron Brown was a specialist who modded starlets very well.

 

Power & look also was very swee.

 

Very wide tyres with screw on extensions on the body panels so tyres wud not b wider than body(which is illegal).

 

Interior also done up with racing meters & interior look very fierce.

 

They lasted less than a year b4 ROV banned them.

 

B4 these we had the local modded starlets. Also very fast but not with the classy look of the RB starlets.

 

This was like in the mid '80's

 

I cud not afford to get the RB starlet then but if now at $14K a pop, I prob get 2 in different colours. [laugh]

 

In those days it was very common to see WS prepared starlets in races at PG.

 

Those only got twin webbers with full race mods. Cannot drive on the roads cos u wud get sores on your bottom & your teeth wud fall out with the vibrations. [laugh]

 

 

[thumbsup][thumbsup][thumbsup]

 

thanks for the enlightenment, bro!

 

too bad, no chance to see RB starlets....how nice if there are photos...

Hmmz... sounds good... [sly]

 

Don't mind me, but you can use the 5EFE block if you're changing pistons as they're essentially the same thing.

 

alternatively bore out the 3E block as thats what the 5E block is. might end up cheaper

 

Another thing is make sure you change the bearings if you use the 5E block... piss weak [shakehead]

ya man... i got the 1 litre dinosaur...

lucky or unlucky [sweatdrop]

btw, 1 litre reali cant inprove much rite!!!

=====================

Hahaha Do u really want to go down that road??? [laugh]

 

But still u can do some stuff but it costs $$$ & the parts might not b so easy to come by nowadays cos it's not so popular anymore.

 

U might want to start with twin carbs with Sponge filters. Cheap & easy to get a few more horses from your car.

 

Oh god. What have I gotten myself into. [crazy]

i wan more of fuel saving... unless reali cant liao

then maybe try someting else

====================

 

If like that, dont even consider the twin carbs. They drink petrol like siow.

 

I was lucky to get 7 km per lit. But those days petrol was abt $1/lit.
