funny onion Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 The decals are definitely staying! i love them! she will be lowered at some point, just not any time soon. Get some Tein Springs Charlotte. They give a nice sensible drop and feel great without sacrificing comfort. I've a set on my glanza and never have any clearance issues at all. Keep an eye out for a set. Or wait till after christmas and i'll have mine for sale lolDha dibs on your springs after christmas! it will be around that time that i'll be doing a fair few bits anyways, clutch, cambelt kit etc so i will probably end up banging some springs on while i'm there Just got back from picking a few more bits up from sheffield, will get some pics up when the new bits are fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BearFaceOfDoom Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Lol! I never said THEY ALL come with an LSD as standard. Hence why I said "You might have LSD as well, because some of them come with them from the showroom". And with your engine, actuator, ecu and fueling system being near standard it won't be running a bar of boost and if it is i'd be kind of concerned with it lass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may be wrong, don't know yet.Don't worry, it will fuck up sooner or later then everyone can have a little giggle behind my back, well those who seem to have a problem can anyway.

funny onion Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Little update!Went up to sheffield on saturday to grab a few more bits and ended up coming back with- ARC tmic (early christmas present off sam- thank you!)- bonnet cable (so i can finally get rid of the ugly tie wrap in the grill)- handbrake cables- din tray for when i finally get round to getting an english stereo- flat blade wiper adaptors - brand new front and rear blueprint brake pads- brand new oil filter- new scuttle panel because mine was cracked- near rear view mirror - another resistor card for the heater motorAlso took a bimble across the water to Cleethorpes to meet a few of the cleethorpes/gainsborough lot which was sweet, and picked up a sexy new wing of steve gt and a trd gearknob in exchange for my optional extra momo gearknob, i'm over the moon to have a nice rust free wing and cant wait to get it on- hope your happy with the gearknob steve here are a few pics;BOOOOOST!Scuttle panel going onI couldn't believe how much better she drove after putting the arc intercooler on! boosts up a hell of alot quicker and holds boost alot better. Would definitely recommend them as a good top mount!I needed a new resistor card because my heaters would only blow on the HI setting and on all other settings there was nothing. The sliding switch for the heat setting was fine and all the individual setting switches were fine, was just the blower intensity that wasn't working. And it turned out the resistor card was the wrong fitment for my GT, think it was because the one it came from had climate control (more settings) and mine doesn't. When i actually got mine out though it turned out one of the filaments had just popped off, and only needed a bit of careful soldering and BOOM, jobs a good 'un! so i took it to uni this morning with me and soldered it back up and re-soldered all the other junctions to make sure it was all nice and strong.Here's a pic of the resistor card and ceramic block, and where it fits into behind the glove box;Hopefully will have the new wing, bonnet cable and front brakes done by next week if i find the time, gets dark waaay to early now and i'm at uni loads Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Looks good As said needs lowering but I agree with what you say about winter coming up etc And as for n/a cams that may make a difference in an a pulsar engine but not with starlets, the cams are the same the only variation is the cams in a 5efhe which are slightly higher lift but pretty hard to come by.Happy modifying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
