Newbie form leeds

Well guys i registered on here a few days ago but never got around to introducing myself.

Im an ex owner of a toyota starlet gt turbo which i made 223 bhp but sadly blew a pisotn ring and stripped the car to start a new project on another toyota starlet and hopefully get a 11 sec q/m run...

A few pics of my old car:

It was a track car in japan which i imported over and broke as i had one problem after another....

While in the process of planning my next project i needed a cheap run around car and my mate had this car for sale so thought why not

Not much mods on the car besides some alloys, back box. hks grill, drilled and grooved front discs and i think its lowered (not sure on what as i havent had time to check)

Was planning on increasing the performance slightly but dont want to go too mad as my starlet project is my main focus atm, originally me and a mate waas thinking of dropping a pulsar engine in and i thought il join this site to gather as much infor as possible to see whats involved doing the conversion (If possible)

I dont have a big budget for this car (probably only aorund £1500) for mods but hey the cars driving fine even after 120k miles and thought what the heck a few little mods wont hurt.

Would appreciate any help at all i can get for this car guys ;)
 
Cheers guys.

Will get some close up pics when i get some time tonight ;)

Just treated the car to a whole service and it aint missing a beat, only problem i have found is either the power steering pump is going or it is transmission related (gearbox) as it seems once i start the car it makes a noise which increases with the revs until the cars comes to normal temp but then is still there but not as loud!

Maybe just need a gearbox oil change too as the car was sat on a drive for over a year not used.
