I held up my end of the deal and got that spoiler off my lazy mate for you!!! Now....lets get that car looking customized!!! Mike

After a sold the starlet in May, i was carless until i bought this at the beginning of June. (2.0 8v 115bhp) its a little faster than the starlet but nothing blistering....at all! I have begun making it 'My Own' with about a grand spent on it already. The handling on it was pretty sound before but now it flies around bends well with hardly any roll. only problem is that the tyres that came on the alloys are...average. and for anything decent at that size it is over £100/Tyre!!! -Janspeed 35mm Lowered (Springs and Shocks) -18" Nuvolari Alloys -Chrome wing mirrors -Flat blade windscree

If you call your local toyota garage and ask for manifold gaskets they will know what you want and its only a couple quid! Mike

Just to Bring back the thread.. ...I have been looking at the standard performance between a 160bhp Civic VTi and the GT Turbo. In a straight line, which is faster???? VTi handles better standard i know but just wanna know straight line figures??????????? Mike

I just removed my air filter and returned it to the stock box filter last night! the performance seems about the same but obviously you havent got the beautiful noise.... this may make me drive slower so i'll prob save money on petrol But with rolla mani and stock filter the car stops sounding like a fan and starts sounding like a car DO IT! Mike

Oh snap! Fun drive home? Mike

Is that all i turbo timer does? delay engine off for a while? or does it have any other functions? ....i never really thought about it Mike

REAL glad i looked in here! i got the same vibration mate. mine sounds like its coming from just behind the dash on drivers side. hopfully the bracket will help...anyone got ideas on the cost of them? Mike

i got chrome handles ..but thats not a mod Mike

my bad , dint know ....but yea, do it this weekend mike Mike ^good name mind!

??? mines on lol hence the picks ill change my sig now...a bit misleading Mike

I fitted mine on the weekend! its real easy if you know what your doing. just take your time with the bolts. Also, you DONT need to take out the fuel rail..thats the bit that scared me. if you can reach the bolts on the mani then its easy to get it out of there......thats if you dont have a strut brace The only drawbacks i had were a really skinny pipe one the back that goes to a sensor and a lil relay box looking thing that wouldnt reach. i just moved the box closer to the inlet on the mani by another bolt on the chasis. The other problem was that the slot that the throttle cable sits in i

Ive re-looked at my situation and feb would be better for me to be honest. Mike

i drove a VTR last night Acceleration was real nice compared to na starlet and th handling was spot on! but it felt like i juast wantd to get a spanner and tighen things up...build quality just isnt there. the VTS may be better in that aspect, i dont know. but best part was handling...real good suspension stock! they arent as bad a i thought REALLY but i would prefer a starlet myself, just wait and get a glanza. Mike

i might buy a vts an test it Mike

Thanks guys. which would be better 8mm or 8.5mm?? 8mm plenty or would i benefit more getting 8.5? Mike

Leads Will these be a direct fit onto a starlet 4efe?? I have been told they are worth getting, i just wanna get the right ones for the right price! Mike

You'll be the first Joz, no worries ;) Mike

Joz.... you really are the Red N/A Guru, you know that?! Much respect dude Mike

Advertising working. Theres LOADZ of people joinding everyday now! just me that noticed it? Mike

Happy for you mate, i look forward to feeling that 'Drive home with a turbo feeling' soon. Post some snaps ;) Mike

Answer - No you shouldnt have started this lol Theres loadz of conflicting ideas as i found in a topic i started about them not long ago. One side says there gorgeous and bargin too Other side says their just "wanabe's" and you should just save up and get the real thing. both fair points......up to you ;) Mike

I know they are meant to 'stiffen' the chassis etc but what difference do they actually make to the handling of the car?? cheers Mike

Here tis!! Auto to Manual Mike

I made a topic about this!!! i'll try find a link for you, there was an amazing how to someone put a link to. Mike
