Yeah I think my Sony stereo has one of those so should be okay. Ill give that a go, cheers! Would you say its worth replacing the speakers? If they are not too much of a ball ache to get to?

Hi all. Just a quick question. Looking to swap my cassette stereo and replace it with a sony single din head unit so I have a usb plug in for my iphone & also a built in amp of 4X 55watt, which hopefully will liven up the sound a little bit. How do I go about pulling out the standard stereo? I bought a facia off eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361474216924?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I'm hoping this is all I need to get the new stereo in, and that I don't need to do any other work? Appreciate any help. Sam

Thanks Funny onion!

Hi All. I can't get my 4efe starlet in gear and have no feel from the clutch pedal so I think the clutch has air in the system. Does anyone know where the bleed nipple is so I can try bleed it and see if that's the cause of it not going into gear? Pictures would be great if anyone has any. Thanks in advance Sam

Do you know of any that might be for sale? I've checked out eBay but not had any luck.

Morning all. Just wondering if anyone has any alloy wheels in their garage etc just sat doing nothing that I could buy? Not looking for anything aftermarket really, just some cheap alloys with decent tyres if possible (13" steel wheels are horrendous). I live in Kent so would be great if someone was local, or willing to post. Many thanks Sam

Very nice ;). Gonna be selling my little starlet in the new year if you know anyone that's looking for a gem of a car! Owned for the last 15 years by a vicar lol perfect base for a engine/turbo conversion or just a little commuter.

Haha nice mate, defo don't have that In mind ;)

Hmm will have to check as I just assumed I would have one lol, if I don't then I just wasted about £11 ☹ lol. That's okay mate, filters for the roof? That's a new one to me! Haha

Hi all. Anyone know where the cabin filter is located and how to change it? I've got a 1.3 1999 n/a starlet. Really appreciate any help San

Had a quick read, I scrolled down pretty far, only to realise the most recent post was at the top :\ lol. Yeah I imagine the bill will be a lot, but that's just part of it because I don't have welding/fab experience and want to know the mini (that will be my daily drive) is safe and not bodged haha. If I get the go ahead that a subframe can be bought/made to house this engine then I have no doubt I will go for it. If people have managed to fit a b18 into a classic round nose mini, surely a 1.3 efe with a little turbo can squeeze in! . If I do get the go ahead, the engine will be coming out the starlet at some point so I only see it being worth while getting it refreshed and have it all built before putting it into the mini so it doesn't have to come out again . Lots and lots to think about I guess!

I really do hope that my 4efe engine isn't too much hassle to put into a mini, as it doesn't seem too much to have a turbo put on! Don't want to start going too mad and buying parts without knowing it will fit in haha. My little starlet has not missed a beat in the last 3 weeks and 1,000 miles odd that i've done, but with 115,000 miles on the clock would people say its still worth boosting? I saw on another thread that its worth re freshing the engine, but have no clue whatsoever how much that would cost! I will be servicing it this weekend with new plugs, 5w30 millers oil and oil filter so i'm sure my starlet will love me for that . also for the last 15 years its been owned by a vicar, so i'd like to think it hasn't been ragged around everywhere but I guess you never know..

Also, how do I know what gen my engine is? Sorry for being such a noob lol

you lucky bugger! ;). How much did all the parts you bought of him set you back? what car is the CT9 off? found a TD04 on ebay from a WRX if thats the right one? looking for £150 or best offer but not sure if that is cheap or not haha. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-Wrx-Td04L-Tdo4-Turbo-TD-04-Turbocharger-Unit-TD-o4-Td04-TD-04L-/291597131444?hash=item43e48b1eb4:g:OiAAAOSw37tV~r~6
