What are the best ways to clean all the oil and crap off the engine bay ?

First thing I need to do is acquire a battery to be completely sure that just the battery is dead and not the alternator or starter, then the mods will begin ! (Hopefully)

The car is blueish silver and I was thinking about painting parts in the bay.

One of the cheaper ideas that I was thinking of is to clean up and paint the engine bay, any colour recommendations ? (I know that you have to get VHT paint )

There are a lot of things that I should buy for it but first I need a new battery as it has decided not to start !

I think I may need a job then !

I will do, I'm not thinking of performance enhancing mods yet just making it look nicer and fix little problems that it has. I will do, I'm not thinking of performance enhancing mods yet just making it look nicer and fix little problems that it has.

I highly doubt I'll afford alloys, I do have some slightly bigger steelies that would fit but only three !

Hi all, as some may remember I did start a thread last year but to my disappointment I never actually got the Starlet. But this should be different. I now have been given it, a 1998 Starlet Solida and have no idea what to really do to it as I have an extremely low budget. So far I have got a VW Golf splitter that I need to cut to size. But that's about it Please reply with any possible ideas I can do. Thanks

Any freebies ?

Just for lowering really, where can you find lowering springs 40mm+ for cheap I've searched but found nothing !

Do any of you know weather you can fit other car lowering springs to a N/A Starlet eg. Nissan Micra etc.

Hi everyone, sorry to disappoint but I will not be getting the car till later this year as it has been fixed and passed its MOT. But I will start a daily updated thread when I get it. Alex

Yeah, I will go round the car fixing things on it. Sorry my computer won't let me reply to any of your answers

Oh yeah

What I want to do is strip the back out put plywood in like some people have done on here and put speakers in and neaten it up.

First of all thanks . Well just the exhaust, my Mum can't be bothered getting a new one we have had it 7 years so it's a bit battered and she's buying another car.

Hi, I've had an account for a while but just got my Mum's Starlet EP91 (MOT FAIL )and wondering what should be the first mods which. Cheap mods please ( Pictures at weekend) Alex
