My thread disappeared from the "Other Rotary" section ?

I have a question guys.

Will I notice the difference if I change my diff from a 3.9 to a 4.11 ratio ???

 

From 3.9 to 4.11 there is very little difference. Jump up to a 4.88 and you will notice a difference in quickness, but your top speed will be greatly reduced and freeway driving the rpm's will be alot higher in 5th gear.

 

lovely little starlet- popular back in NZ but here in england they have all rusted way or gone to Ireland as they have a race series there for them!

Your car reminds me of my 12a powered chevette i built- sounds very simular..

I miss it!!! But I have my 3 to keep me company (excluding cats and girlfriend...)

Does it sound louder with the webber?
Is it more 'punchy'?

I have a 12A webber manifold I brought over from NZ with me but not yet a webber...

Thanks for your comments, I am still missing the manifold, jets for the webber so it is stock with the nikki atm.

I never seen a chevette before , looks pretty much like my starlet in some views

chevettes are a gm car. Chevy chevette in us. Kadett in europe. Vauxhall Chevette in nz and england. Isuzu gemini japan and holden gemini in oz.
Cool little cars. Still quite common and cheap. Light weight and handle well. Linked rear end and double wishbone front.
There must be a few converted in usa to rotary! ?

 

I see, well I dont know in USA since I live in Dominican Republic (Caribbean Island, next to Puerto Rico).

I took a closer look to your thread and you have excellent fab skills.

Did you sell your vette? It looked real good when you finished it

 

Very Nice Im trying to get a 79 Rolla Wagon



Trini

 

yeah i wanna get there sometime. Especially p rico- has a massive rota scene hasn't it? And old work mate from our bike shop is a good rally driver in barbados- races a little starlet actually, barry mayers is his name.
Chevette we sold to a young fella in ireland and 4 days later he crashed it into a tree. Totaled it! Shame .

 

Update:

Ordered a few jets today per the advices of you guys

Main Jet [200]
Emulsion Tube F11
Air Corrector Jets IDA [150]
Idle Jet 48 IDA [65]

Still need to find out what chokes I have so I decide if I need to buy a diff pair of chokes or use the ones I currently have, need the 300 Needle since the one I have is a 200 needle and the mani for the carb.

A friend is going to sell me a mani for this carb so hopefully I should be using it soon

Can I just use the 200 needle I have ?

Thanks

Got a DANA 44 rear end after I smashed mine last week at the track. Its a 4.88 and I am desperate to try it on the starlet, should have her back with the new rear end in 1 or 2 days.

What can I do besides welding this rear end to make it spin both wheels at the same time(POSI)???

 

If your going to do alot of street driving then I wouldn't recommend welding the gears because you will wear out your tires very fast and put alot of wear and tear on your drivetrain, especially your axles. I would recomend a nice posi unit or detroit locker for street/track cars and full spool for drag cars.

 

I see, well lets say I want to put a detroit locket, I went to Currie's and I see that there are UP & DOWN Detroit lockers, can you give me a quick explanation Jay on what each ones does

 

EDIT: I found out what the UP&DOWN stands for lol

 

no welding bro...but its your calll...If your using this for street strip set up...all depends...like jay..said lot of wear and tear bro...lovin this lil setup...

 

I am not welding it no matter what. The rear end is installed and man this thing is wayyyy fast now that the gears are shorter. I will have to cut the rear end since this one is like 1 inch larger than the stock one and I want the wheels to stay under the fenders.

This now feels like the whole car will brake except the damn rear end

 

Guys the new rear end is in . The wheel sticks out more on the left side than the right . I will shorten this diff so the damn wheels stick inside the fenders.

With this new rear the car hooks pretty good on the street with the MTs, going to the dyno today to find out what A/F I am running and will go to the track next saturday if the weather allows it.

What do you guys think?? Any inputs will be appreciated.

 

lol cute...my friend had a starlet that him and his dad bought for 800 bux and let me tell you it was an old lady that owned it and it was in mint condition, lol he let me drive it and i took it on the hwy and it was a very scary ride...i had it floored doing maybe 80mph which is like the top speed i think and aroung 60mph is when i started to feel the lift off type feeling lol if it was for my boy and his girl i wouldve been air born, but either way its a fantastic car when modded!!!

 

Just found this wonderful thread. Yet another one who has no idea what he's talking about about.

 

You yourself said that the Sterling carb will not flow enough for a bridgeport or Pport and I thought that is what he eventually wants to run. No offense to your carb as I heard it is a good product, but I don't know of one serious all motor N/A race car using one.

nOferz, your car is coming along nicely. Good luck at the RACE track. Make sure you get some vids.

 

Yeah, stop talking **** Ultimatefag.
btw, did you get that adjustable clutch slave push-rod copied? My blue RX-3 is coming out of hibernation. I also need that SA tranny if it still availble.

 

Shiiiiiiiit! No, I was hoping you'd forget. Just kidding. How soon is your 3 coming out of hybernation? I still need to make one or find one. How about I trade you the tranny for the damn slave push rod.

 

hahaha...damn if it wasn't for that inch of sticking out on both sides i would have just flared the fenders and save your self the time and money of cutting the rear end...Just something to think about...

 

did you say trade as in barter system??? now, we are talking.
let me know when you're free so I can send Arnel or I will drive down

 

you can be touched...

 

No, it probably wouldn't be the best choice for a PP 13b. It would sit there at idle, gulping fuel, if the idle circuit was not modified. If you know anything at all about porting, rotaries and carburetion, you would know that it could flow enough for a PP. But even if it couldn't, there is a HUGE difference between the carb possibly not flowing enough for a PP and...It's not my fault you don't know.

Since you singled out my product specifically and did nothing but talk **** about it, I figured you needed someone to correct you on the facts.
-Thanks for all your help Mel. You're one hell of a friend.
