  1. I drove to Finland from the Netherlands. It was about 18 hours on the road from Netherlands to the ferry in Stockholm. To make the ride more comfortable I fitter thinner/stock wheels, exhaust silencer, removed front and rear lips and set my suspension softer. It was pretty easy to do but I might look into making some sort of cruise control for future road trips
  2. Are you sure they are pressed in? As far as I know the spiders are only held in the cup by the rubber and they cannot come out unless you take off the hub or cross arms? I used to pull them out and push them back in all the time when I would remove and install an engine. I would leave the cups in the gearbox to save the hassle of draining the gearbox oil But still, only way for them to come out in a moving car that I could think of is a broken cup, or something else is broken/loose, or the drive shaft must have been at an extreme angle, perhaps the car is lowered?
  3. I think if it was able to come out of the cup there has got to be alot of play somewhere else in the suspension? Or indeed the cup could be broken
  4. Isnt that tire rotating in the wrong direction?
  5. Glad you finally passed the MOT Here's some more details about which exact vacuum line it is http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/106896-high-idle-problem-what-is-this-part-17630-11060/
  6. Awesome spec list so far! Do you have more pictures?
  7. I just cut the hose in 2 pieces and plugged them with some bolts haha
  8. Hi Teun I used to have problems with a high idle aswell, turned out there is a vacuum line which originaly runs from the throttle body to a sensor on the power steering rack and then to the inlet manifold and I had looped this line because I dont have power steering, but it should be blocked. This reduced my idle with about 3-400 rpm. If you need help you can send me a PM
  9. That looks strange, however here is a picture of a brand new cilinder head and it seems to have the same thing: https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/auto-onderdelen/motor-en-toebehoren/m1235921675-cylinderkop-toyota-starlet-1-3-12v.html?c=8c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr
  10. I am looking for the rubber and clips that are at the front end of the bonnet
  11. Disassemble the center console, start with rubber buttons on the 4 sliders. then the piece of trim that shows blue to red for temperature, this is held in with a metal clip and can simply be pulled out. After that you will find screws and it will become self explanatory. Assemble again in reverse order.
  12. Yes, they are the same, my 4EFTE engine is actually a 4EFE block with GT pistons
  13. Mine came from a different corolla with 4AFE so I had to swap the bellhousing to fit an E series engine Didnt have the selector bracket with it! However the seller had first delivered a 5 speed box incorrectly and I was able to use the bracket from that I didnt modify anthing to the shifter, what did you have to do to it Colin?
  14. Nice colour! I think that tire is facing the wrong direction?
  15. Yes correct, they pretty much all have slider pins, a dust cover and the square seal inside the caliper. There is 1 difference, on the rear calipers the piston is on a thread which is for the handbrake, so you have to rotate it to get it in and out. You can rotate the piston it with a pair of screwdrivers or get a tool like in the pictures down this page: http://starlet-forum.nl/index.php?topic=24359.25
  16. Plenty of brake caliper rebuild videos on youtube
  17. Hello, I am looking for the above items. I need it shipped to the Netherlands
  18. Better make sure to prevent the corrosion
  19. Its only the metal gasket, no o ring goes there
  20. Since you are in New Zealand I strongly recommend you search for a workshop manual because there are a couple around from your country and Australia. It will tell you all you need to know about torque specs and intake manifold hoses. Alternatively you can find some info here: http://japan-parts.eu/toyota/jp/1999/starlet/ep91-agmqy/4_121150_006_/tool-engine-fuel/1708_vacuum-piping/2 Regarding the turbo, how much is it leaking? Do you have to top up the oil a lot? Since it is currently off the car I would get a kit with new seals and bearing and give it a service
  21. Could be corrosion on the pipe or the clip has become too weak
