I thought they were m 8?

That's the berries. Nice one. With a bit of luck I'll be pressing them tomorrow if the buddies work shop is quiet. Its doing my head in now just waiting to start building.

Mighty stuff. I'll go looking for a sacrificial socket tomorrow and have a go at shaping it. Thanks for the info. Really helpful.

Cheers man. I think I know what you mean with the socket but a picture would be great. I should be able to have a go off pressing them on Monday or tuesday. And then the build can begin at last.

I'm finally getting around to rebuilding my 5e with my 4etfe pistons but realised yesteday that the gudgeons are pressed in and not the easy kind. I've read into it a bit and some people recommended using some heat to remove them and some say just to use a press on its own.

So my question is who here has done this job themselves and how did you do it?

Also when putting the gudgeons back in do you just press them again or do you heat the small end of the conrod so the pin will drop in?

Any advise would be much appreciated.

I've had 2 of these. Great cars. Regrected selling them immediately after I did. Is it manual or automatic?

They're stunning

I've a spare ignition glow barrel and loom and I'm wondering what its worth if anything?

I had a starlet just like that when I was still in school and my friends used pick up the back like that and move it to a different parking space when I wasn't around.

Glanza skirts fit grand but you'll have to trim them as the raised bit of the skirt by the rear wheel runs onto the back doors on the 5door preventing them from opening. If you cut them along the door line and stick them on separately it'll work fine and look really well.

Those seats look savage. Are they original?

I love the castrol seat protector in the rolls.

Welcome along. Can't bate the mk1 gt. I always wish I hadn't got rid of mine.

Legend has it that avocado works for declowding plastic head lights like on glanzas but I haven't tested it myself yet. Something to do with a reaction between the oils in the avocado and the top layer of clear plastic. I don't think it'll work on glass headlights though.

The paint looks class now. Did you fit that cherry bomb exhaust yet? I'm just wondering what its like to live with as I'm doing a few jobs to the girlfriends starlet at the moment and I was tempted to throw one on but if its too loud all the time she won't be too happy.

Class! Its even got a ps2! Part of me kinda misses cars like this. You just don't see them anymore.

Mad!

She looks class man. I love the wheels too.

Looks savage man.

Got an rx7 intercooler from him at a great price. Arrived as described and very well packed. Cheers.

Sytec fpr are a fine bit of kit and they're usually a good price. I think I saw one for sale on here recently.

Got myself a gauge for my fpr today so plan is to fit them as soon as the weather clears up a bit, turn the pressure way down, remover the air filter and run her through the test as lean as I can. I'm just hoping it won't do any damage to her.

I reddened the bollox off it before the test. Drove there in 3rd gear. I tried explaining to him that if he reved it a little bit higher the supercharger engages and leans out the mix and the CO reading would go way down and he looked at me like I've 2 heads.I was hoping to find a way to engage the electic clutch sooner. CO at 2920rpm is 0.94%, CO at 3090rpm is 29%. Anything over 30% is a fail. I've an fpr for my starlet I might through into her for the test but I don't like the idea of running it too lean either.

I know this is a starlet forum but maybe someone can help. Ive got a 95 trueno gtz that keeps failing the nct because the CO reading at just under 3000rpm is too high. Now if you bring it up to 3090rpm its perfect but the nct centre won't do this. Does anyone here know how I can bring this reading down. I've tried butchering my air filter with a Stanley knife to leave more air in and it helped a bit but not enough. Is there any way to ingage the supercharger at say 2500rpm just for the test so it'll lean out the mix. Any advise would be much appreciated.

I've always loved mk1 gts in red. Welcome bud.
