So, it's finally getting on the road, just need a fuel tank / shocks + springs for it to get it an MOT any idea where I can get a fuel tank for cheap and new?

woah, thats really good haha. I'm paying 1200 for a diesel clio with one

Ah okay, you got black box too? and alright then fair enough

Love this build aha, how much is your insurance for it? can't get any quotes less than 1700, and do you ave any pictures of the speedo wiring either before of after the cluster change because I've messed all mine about and now idk which wire goes where

Right I need ideas for the Starlet, want to start doing things this year, unsure what to do though. Quite like the idea of tracking it and would like a bit more power what engines could I swap into it that aren't really expensive/hard to swap? Won't be buying owt for it for a few months yet as bought another Clio to fix and need to get cars off my drive

Think it will be til like next summer haha, saving up for a MK7 Fiesta Zetec S now for a decent daily

would do but I'm poor again atm haha, how ling do ya reckon you'll have them for?

well, still nothing has happened apart from that I bought 2 Ford Ka's and got a job at a place that makes carbon fibre spoilers for McLaren, Ginetta, etc and racecars (DJ Racecars) still need to do stuff to the starlet but its blocked in by another broken clio lol, Starlet will get fixed as a track road car when I finally get a car on the road that is more reliable than what I've had, and maybe get some carbon goodies for it aha

Nowts happened to it yet, thought I'd buy a car for work and stuff and then actually focus on the Starlet more as a big project, so bought a 1.5 dCi Clio MK2 with a blown turbo, replaced it drove it 2 days then cambelt went so then bought a Volvo V40 1.9D and was no better injector leaking a lot, cambelt needs doing, needs 2 front tires and starting to sound rattely so that's going. Now think that the Starlet is gonna get sorted and put on the road instead.

I'll have to do it to mine sometime then aha, and np

Ah right, so it wasn't high temp paint or anything then? Looks good though

What paint was it that you used for front calipers?

So the car needs a new fuel tank too, anyone know if you can get them new online anywhere?

Right.... Bought myself a rev counter for the Starlet and tried to put it in today using a guide I found on here but it didn't work, does anyone have pictures of the plugs after swapping wires around for the clocks the speedo I have is this one : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192160059152?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT cheers

Aye that'd be great and I don't need them asap anyway. Could you pm me when you find them?
