  1. did some research on a-type engines into starlets and tercels. Need quite some modding to the chassis rail and move cambelt side engine mount forward. Possibly battery needs to be relocated to trunk to make way for tranny. Even then I doubt if exhaust manifold will clear radiator. So losing some €s and buying a 4efe is simpler and saves a lot of headaches. But will pop down to the guys, they're only a short drive away. if swap a 4efe I will let you know.
  2. So, after a few months in here, its time to share my ride. It is a 1998 Reflet 2-door with the 1N 1.5d. My wife bought it as an import from Japan in 2003 and owned it since then. After 10 years as her daily, family matters dictated 2 extra doors and some more boot space, so she moved on to our Astra H wagon. It is my semi daily, since most of the time I go round with my 2002 ER5, especially in rush hour traffic. Since I took over, I embarked on its upgrade. Done so far Interior:- Power windows and mirrors from a Glanza Glanza front seats, door cards, rear side panels, glovebox, kick panels and under-steering panel, door sills and trunk carpet. Did not find boot plastics, so sanded off 10 years of scratches and repainted them dark gray. Clock Centre console. Original parcel shelf. Got the interior light functioning again; replaced holder and both door switches. New spare tyre well plywood cover Exterior Replaced dented hood with a used scooped one Clear front turn signals Repaired and repainted ding-riddled drivers' side door. Engine Mistakingly bought a 5afe, thinking it was a 5efe. Will exchange it for a 4efe. Still to be done:- Interior Ignition key light Remote central locking 3rd brake light Time delay for dome light Footwell led's (have all the above, just waiting to be fitted) Glanza instrument cluster(on its way here) Black leather oem steering wheel Rear seat to match front ones and door card pattern Factory double din head unit and carrozzeria onshelf speakers Got original rubber mats(but using cheap ones to prevent original ones from wearing off) Exterior:- Repaint front bumper, together with front lip HID headlight conversion Roof spoiler Carat tailamps(have already) Repair and modding of rear bumper(to fit above tailights) and addition of rear lip OR replacement with a glanza bumper(not yet sure). 2nd gen Yaris 6-spoke wheels or Corolla e120 6-spoke wheels Engine:- As above, will exchange for a 4efe, then Rebore as far as block allows, Skiming, porting and polishing of cylinder head Corolla inlet mainfold(if I find one) Stainless 4-1 exhaust manifold 2.5in exhaust Cone filter Remapping ecu Lightweight pulleys and flywheel Open to all suggestions. This is going to be used in normal road conditions, so no hardcore parts. Just want to have some fun on the road.
