Not sounding to good, If I was closer I would give you hand. From what you said I think you should loosen the boltsthat hold the manifold on to the head and spray some wd-40 or rust treament, you also get this freeze spray which freezes the bolt to like -40 degrees, Maybe try working the bolts back and forward slowly and try winding them out slowly, hope this helps abit Gary

Lol, its mad just now man, mainly concentrating on my brothers fiesta which is under the grey cover. I am hoping to start more on other peoples cars as we really only have our own to do, but when people see what we can do it might get busier. My dream is to have my own business eventually doing mechaincal repairs diagnostics and possibly tuning eventually. This is a start anyway. Gary

welcome along bud. youve come to the right place for starlets anyway Gary

As some of you may know i share a workshop with my older brother, It started about a year ago just as storage, then we got a few cars, and as both experienced in mechanics, electrics and engineering it just got more busy over time. We now have several projects with constant improvements and perfections being made. I thought i would give all of you a look inside at some of the projects and keep it updated over time, MK2 Astra, From previous posts, poeple on here have seen our astra which was our first track car firstly for Crail Raceway but when we got a taste of Knockhill, Crail was never

Levin twin pot brake conversion Earls braided brake lines Cusco Style BMCS Rear disc conversion Bought a Ultralite Oil sandwich plate for the defi's More to come when parts arrive Thanks Gary

I think Sportif or S, i have a Sportif and has very little extras, No electric mirrors No sunroof No electric windows No central locking Is alot of extras to live without, but if you are going for the stripped interior like i have it works well Gary

After Recently finding out I could change my sportif dials to ones with a rev counter i thought i should post up to let everyone know for future reference. The dials from a starlet CD model will fit directly with no wire swapping what so ever. Here is a guide on how to remove and refit dials(non sportif) Up to step 12 will help with remove and refit. click Here is a guide on how to correct the mileage if changing clocks click If easier some more help can be found in here click Hope this helps someone, Also i would suggest a carbon dial sorround from Idrees as they really finish the dials
