  1. 3000rpm range? Ooooh. My engine knocked from around 2750 - 4000...
  2. Yep, I had this issue also. It's just something we'll have to put up with I'm afraid; not even Toyota do the correct HB3 bulb any longer!
  3. Looks like a good little car to bring back to the light! At least the red paintwork looks in good nick, no fading that I can see. Sunroof as well
  4. Ay up, it's KP! Shame to hear that the 4A has gone balls up, that car was a real labour of love. Welcome to the forum!
  5. This was for the 2014 JF2 mate For the old location at Donnington. New meetup point will be arranged and announced in due time!
  6. Sorry, I meant in terms of payment, ordering, etc! I knew about prepping the calipers.
  7. Yeah, I have that problem too J40k-mo, gonna get a new TPS when I get paid this month to see if it cures the problem!
  8. Volk 5/4s. Not everyone's cup of tea. I now have them on the other way around (5s up front, 4s rear).
  9. I'm not, but me and the parents are going to the Cholmondely Pageant of Power on Sunday! Should be good, Vulcan flyover before it's retired for good.
  10. Do you get much interest from the Japs about the Starlet? Any old-timers with wistful looks in their eyes? Haha Just wondering how popular (if at all) they still are over there now.
  11. Welcome to the forum Hiro! There are probably more Starlets in the UK and Ireland than there is left in Japan now!
  12. We're still in the process of working out what's happening with tickets. Never fear, we'll announce/post it as soon as we know I'll add you to the list! 1. The Bower Clan 2.

Shorty (in who knows what?!?)
  13. I honestly did not know what a bottom end knock sounded like, and even my dad didn't think it was bottom end as it sounded too much like something in top-end (drawing from his early years experience of quality British car engineering there ) At least I know now
  14. Well, mystery parcel arrived today! OEM 3-point strut brace from TC Dave (a name which some of the older lads may recognise!) All plastics there apart from the very lower one that covers the hole in the carpet, and on a whole, quite good condition considering the age of these now! Always wanted one of these, chuffed!
  15. This is mental. Actually mental. Stunning GT mate!!
  16. I actually like them a lot better with the 5s on the front!!
  17. My old 3G grooved discs are starting to get a bit past it now, and I also need some new pads, so I'm thinking about getting some OEM 110% discs and DS2500 pads. It'll hopefully be next month that I can pay for these, so if you let me know with what needs doing etc, that'd be brilliant! Quick question though, I'm currently using YellowStuffs. Which best match these in terms of performance; the DS2500 or DS3000? As far as I'm aware, the DS3000 is a proper track pad however? Cheers!
  18. Well, this hasn't been posted on in a while! First major thing is... that noise I had been hearing for about the best part of 8 months turns out to be a knackered bottom end Oil starvation seems to have been the issue, I must have been giving it too much welly around a roundabout at some point. Anyway, got that all sorted out, crank only needed a polish. Got the Ogura fitted at the same time! And as if there wasn't a respray noted down in my head already due to the previous owners dubious paintjob and the small amount of body parts I've been amassing ( ), I caused myself to mentally underl
  19. For as long as I can remember, my GT has always been lurchy at low speeds too, no idea if that's related or not.
  20. When the engine is cold and I have the headlights on etc, most of the time the car does a cold high idle of ~1000-1500 (which is normal?), and then some days it'll be a pain in the arse and idle at 600rpm no matter what, shaking the car to bits. Does my tits in, but the grey unit on the end of the inlet mani (ICV?) was a new item about 2 years ago, so can't be that. I'm wondering if it's throttle body related, or grounds related...
  21. 56 bloody cars! That's madness! If only we could get the same sort of turnout for JAE
  22. Not entirely sure why this topic got posted in the Braking technical info subforum; moved to Wanted section!
