Looking at this http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/55996-identifing-aftermarket-lsds/#entry717283 Trd mechanical is pretty close, but i think cusco diffs look similar, i really need to add more to this list lol

I haven't had any of these cons with mine. Being its an n/a you would be more likely to notice the torque loss etc but my cars producing more than stock torque and is nice and grunty low down for what it is still. Juddering on pull away might be worse with a paddle clutch but that would be the same with a stock f/w and thats more the way they bite. If you are considering doing it and your cars it bits do it. If its not then wait till a 2nd hand one pops up for a good price. Lets face it unless you're mad or really bored you're not going to rip a gearbox off just to fit a flywheel for the

Ill be over in a while to collect it

They fit but the indicator cancel doesn't work so some modding needs to be done. There is someone on here who knows what needs to be done but i can't remember who it is.

Its true toyota did it with the 4AGE's as well, but if your not revving the tits off of it i wouldn't worry. 4ages are ok on stock rev limits 8400rpm(ish) if i want to rev more i want to put shot peened silver top rods or forged aftermarket rods in. As ryan said seems the ringlands on the pistons would usually go first. If your doing the rods change the pistons for forged and visa versa ;)

Think you may be better off looking for a yaris TTE backbox, the starlet ones were discontinued years ago so finding one is getting harder and harder. The yaris ones take a little modding to fit but isnt too bad from what i read

You need one of chris's ones 1400hp and 273mph haha

If you could that would be cool, I've got loads of engine movement on mine, causes quite a bit of exhaust troubles at times lol Yeah got very lucky had a friend working at new era imports he set me up with the boss in japan. I gave him £900 and he set about finding an engine. Asked for one under 60k, found a couple with small problems then this one cropped up, said it cost him a bit more than he was hoping to spend but being he's such a toyota nut he fancied helping me out Didnt get the gearbox as it was an auto and i had my one from my previous 16v 4age but i guess that means it ha

Not sure if you have them round your way but my brother works at ridgeons and they can order in sheets of plastic

Ebay

Im pretty sure the cold issue is just the stat, its got worse since fitting the civic rad. I did run it with the plenum for a while, was much better low down than with it how it is now, but the sound now is just epic, more than worth the loss of mid range I guess i got lucky with this engine, its low milage (25k) so might be why it doesn't use any oil. Don't suppose you have your old mounts laying around and fancy selling them?

Few hp, depends on how mad u go but yeah spool times should be dropped. Best asking people who have it done.

You would need a high pressure filter, them plastic ones wouldnt take much i doubt

Aren't they for carbed engines?

Its actually hand worked, but If its to be done properly yes, each port wants to be very closely matched to one another so you really need to no whats what as if you go too deep you could go through to a water pocket! If you are going crazy They can even be flow tested to get them equally matched. If you were just to polish them then you could probably do that yourself.

Thats not a launch, this is a launch ;) http://youtu.be/R6PJA9tb66E

Yeah just opening up the air intake and exhaust ports on the head. They can also be polished, the idea is to get gasses in and out quicker meaning better performance.

It really does depend on your luck, how i didn't break anything when i hit a drainage ditch i don't no, I've seen bent rims and track rods from hitting pot holes at 40mph and I've been in cars hitting them at 80 and been fine!

Sorry to hear about that but will be good to catch up anyway. Tbh I've never run mine open, far to paranoid about a stone or something finding its way in especially since i don't have a under tray any more! But now you said that it is quite tempting haha But yeah mpg is great, mid to high 30's easily but i think my thermostat is sticking a bit as mine seems to run cold at times and goes on to cold idle and uses a bit more fuel at times Can't say mine uses any oil though, never had to top mine up between services or anything :s The downpipe isn't too bad considering how low it sits

Mate in so glad u are as happy with the decals as i am, they are spot on! Cars looking pukka

Dude i was going to Pm you the other day, see how you were getting on with yours had if you still even had it! Didnt even realise you were going to JF, will have to park up next to each other

Mate i couldnt be much more jealous if i wanted to! Looks like you are living it up!!

The pot hole has to have been reported before and has to be over 4" or something deep. Even then you will struggle to get your money back

I lied the Oem cup holders go below the ashtray like so. Cant remember how much mine were, all i remember is i got them with the ash tray as a hole unit
