  1. Car looks great bro. Always liked everything black starlets. by the way what is the name of the front bumper lip you have there?. I've been looking for it for a while and can't seem to find it.
  2. Thanks guys. I took the thermostat out like 2 years ago. But i think i've found the problem, as all you guys said it's the head gasket. The radiator bubbles while the car idles, the exhaust smells like coolant and it still over heats. It stressing me out atm so i think i'll park up the car for a couple months and just build a forged 5e. It was inevitable.
  3. I don't know if the head gasket is damaged but i found what causes the car to over heat. The rad fan fuse was melted so the fan was continuously cutting on and off while driving. As for the head gasket, shouldn't the lose power if its leaking because the pulls fine
  4. Car overheated yesterday and now the radiator started pushing water into the overflow bottle. Today i changed the radiator cap, fan, flushed the system and put new coolant but it still pushes the water out but it's not overheating. Why is it pushing the water out?
  5. Well i'm still having this problem as I can't seem to find cables for my car. To get it in reverse it's a bit stiff and the first to second selection is very annoying now. Does anyone has the part number for the cables so I can try at the toyota dealership?
  6. Nice build thread. Love those those rota's. 16's?
  7. Well i've had my car quite a while now and i had this problem since i bought it. While shifting from first to second it feels it feel like something stops it before going in to second. all the other gears shift great. I recently rebuilt my gearbox, installed new clutch ad pressure plate, solid shifter bushes and installed a short throw shift kit. The only i didn't change is cables so i'm guessing that my problem. EP82/EP91 cables are nowhere to be found in my country. Does anyone know if the cables from another works???
