  1. Year: 1998 Model: Starlet S Tax: N/A MOT: June 2017 Mileage: 133k Description: I'm sad to see her go, but I fancied something with a bigger engine and I don't have room to keep her. The clutch was new on 2 years ago, she's done around 12,000 miles since. All belts were changed last year. Barebones spec UKDM EP91 with a few mods: Glanza strut brace Corolla inlet K&N cone filter Paseo armrest GT front seats Unbranded alarm, immobiliser and central locking C52 gearbox Kenwood speakers front+rear All interior bulbs swapped for blue LEDs Also included in the sale is my box of parts,
  2. Bought an alternator off him. Communication was excellent and the part arrived quickly and well-packaged.
  3. As title. I can get to anywhere around the Bristol area, or posted would be even better.
  4. Depends on what model Starlet the new clocks came out of. If it was a Starlet CD they'll plug straight in. If it was an SR there's a few wires to change round on the plugs detailed in this guide.
  5. As above, not sure if it's the same as a Glanza one but I would've thought so
  6. Hey, don't suppose you've still got the alternator lying around?
  7. Saw you going up Bond Street, massive UKSO sticker across the rear window. Sounded sexy as fuck.

  9. Just spotted the above from my vantage point on a bus, had the bump strips removed as well. Anyone on here?
  10. Jesus, someone call Max Power to arrange a shoot.
  11. Thanks mate, was a pleasure on my end as well
  12. Really? I didn't know they were worth so much less than the manuals. Would it be better value to buy an auto and do a manual conversion on it, then?
  13. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201507285591119?atmobcid=soc4 Looks pretty standard, could be a good base.
  14. I've one here mate, needs a bit of a clean but it'll do the job. Wouldn't be able to post until Monday, mind.
  15. Haha, it's the best feeling. I've had a few of the local kids try it with their 106s and Polo TDis and the like. Cracks me up every time.
  16. Completely unrelated, but is that your GT in the pic Matt? Looks bleddy lovely.
  17. Don't you lose a lot of torque going to a lightweight fly?

  19. There isn't one on an SR, that's on an FTE. The SR uses the same throttle body as the rest of the UK starlets. For more ponies, you could try to source a wider one but you'd need a commensurately larger intake to go with it (such as the above-mentioned FTE one) but then you run into a host of sensor issues that it's not really worth getting around for the maybe 3-4hp increase and loss of torque. The usual inlet mod on the 4EFE is to swap the manifold over for the tubular one off a late-90s Corolla. It increases low down torque a bit and you can use the original throttle and sensors.
  20. Don't really know what's going on here. The car seems to run fine when I get it going, there's no discernible loss in power or torque. It idles fine, 1100-1200 cold dropping to 800 or so when warm and seems to be able to idle all day. Where it goes wrong is when I'm pulling away, as soon as the clutch bites the revs drop right down and it almost stalls out, then it seems to recover. It doesn't matter what I do with the throttle at this point, the revs drop to 400 or so and then pick back up. I don't know if it's connected, but there's also a kind of whining note to the engine as well that ha
