  1. @adamb I'm fairly sure it doesn't have forged pistons, I got it completely standard off an older fella. Would that be causing the pulley to wobble side to side? Also if I put the heaters on full blast whether hot or cold it causes it to rattle considerably more.



    @patman I'm thinking of taking a drive down south sometime soon, so would be good to meet some fellow starlet owners. Haven't really seen any from around here although possibly a moderator on here is from near me? Brighton isn't far from crawley though and haven't been to the beach in many years.


  2. I've had my starlet for a good 7-8 months now and Its had this noise as long as I remember, when I start it up there's a sort of rattling noise but it used to go after It'd had been warmed up. A friend of mine identified the problem as the crankshaft pulley, it appears to wobble side to side and that's supposedly what causes the noise, and up until recently it's been fine but now it constantly rattles, hot or cold and I can hear it when I'm driving where as I couldn't before. Any ideas as to whether it is in fact the pulley and if so how I can fix the problem?


    Thanks in advance Sam


  3. If I was looking for better braking on my na, should I buy glanza calipers for the front and just upgrade the front, or should I do a rear axle and have discs on the back?


    Sorry for my naivety but don't want to do the 'wrong' thing.


  4. I have a 1997 starlet sportif on 40mm springs but standard shocks (both brand new) and earlier today I noticed the piston in my rear offside strut was sticking up about 4inches, and my rear nearside about half an inch. The top mount is evidently broke and so needs replacing and a little strengthening work doing on it. Will the rear top strut mounts from the 1993-1996 1.3ltr starlet fit okay? I can't seem to source the mounts for my year, well not a feasable price anyway. If anyone can help at all, would be much appreciated.
