  1. I thought I'd say hi, I don't mind it either, and I guess he sees at least one decent EP when I drive mine in...
  2. If I may provide a bit of advice with these, I have the same kit, minus power steering, and I strongly suggest lock-tite on the water pump. Mine came loose just this month, even if it was properly tightened in the first place. I also had to keep the stock alternator pulley because the alternator-side face of the aluminum one is flat, while the stock one is a bit concave. It was touching the housing. Oh and check your water pump, there are two models here in Aus, a bolt-on pulley (the one you want), and a pressed-on pulley (the one I've got on both my EP and my 5E)...
  3. Happy birthday. Now that that's settled, SHOW US A PAINTED STARLET!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Is it just me or that picture is beautiful? The Baleno is gone, I kept the speedlines and still made a 300% profit on the car... I couldn't find replacement center caps in the proper size, so I ordered TRD ones on eBay, along with black steel closed end lug nuts.
  5. It's the bumper part I was interested in... It's kinda missing. I'll ask away in a new thread then, cheers
  6. Sorry to revive this, but Daniel would you have a pic of the bumper where it's bolted under the boot? On the corner of the bezel?
  7. It's like a german putting the Nazi sign on his car... Does no one know what it means?
  8. Just dropping my driveway pic...
  9. I just can't believe Japanese people let them do that to the bonnet... I'm speechless.
  10. My headlights are awesome. Don't drive much at night, only once a week, but I had them on for the last couple. Massive difference and no hassle from anyone about blinding or glaring. I cannot stress enough about doing it the right way, don't just put an illegal plug and play kit in there.
  11. Job done. Everything is hooked up, DRL working on ignition except when HID's are on, high beam fuse replaced (the stock 10A couldn't take the load), I even reconnected the spotties...
  12. LMAO really? no "nice the car is back on the road" or "great find on the wheels"??? But yes it is a nice picture
  13. Got a sweet sweet deal this week. A coworker's friend got a 1999 Suzuki Baleno for free for her son to learn to drive with. I had to do an inspection on it to make sure it was road worthy, long story short it wasn't. I was told that she'd get rid of the car so I said I was interested in some parts. So $50 later, I'm the owner of a now unregistered Baleno rocking 4 (maybe even 5) of these: (NOT my pic) and I'll get $80 back for the car at the wreckers...
  14. I get my HID stuff from eBay. cheap to replace,
  15. MY CAR IS BACK HOME!!!!!!!!!!! Finally. Got the rear main replaced, did most of it Saturday, finished before work on Monday morning. Started it, Rev'd it... the welds on the muffler inlet gave up................................................................ I guess the many removals/hanging/reinstall of the exhaust pipe were too much for a 18 years old exhaust. So tonight before leaving, I brought both Starlets in the workshop and swapped the boxes. Good news is I also received my new flex pipe, Cat converter and back box. I'll be dropping my 4E, Harry's manifold and
  16. My future color, Moonlight blue (code I2 from KIA): I'm in Australia, so feel free to use it, you'd still be unique on your side of the planet lol
  17. I can't seem to find the answer for this, how do you remove the rear window washer nozzle without breaking it? There's no access from behind, and I don't want to just pull if it's going to break it... I'll be reusing it. Thanks
  18. I had to replace crank, cam and rear main two months after my swap. Went with Toyota seals this time.
  19. First time trying new headlights... They aim too high, but they're not adjusted yet.
  20. I showed up at work last weekend to replaced my rear main (about time!), only to find I wouldn't have enough time, and no hoist to work on it. But as I was talking with the guy who's gonna make my extractors, I would need a flange and if I sourced it myself it would be much cheaper than him having one laser cut. So I made a first stop to the scrapyard, scored a 11mm thick plate big enough to do either a one piece flange or in halves like the stock one. Later on, I went to Harry's (Staret) to pick up the stock manifold from his N/A engine, really a nice one he got there, just a shame the FTE b
