If you can't find those clocks, it's worth looking out for Paseo dials too as they'll also fit. You will, however, not be able to swap over the tachometer as you can with clocks out of the SR or CD. If those still aren't an option, you can pick up aftermarket tachometers pretty cheaply that wire up to your ignition system. I'd imagine the hardest thing with those would be running the wiring through the firewall into the interior, but there are plenty of places that could be done. Can't offer much advice on the second option as I went for the first!

With those updates finished, here's what I got up to this month! Around January/February I noticed that my clutch had started slipping. I think 78,000 miles combined with a trip to the strip were too much for the poor old thing In any case, I got in touch with my mechanical mentor and asked for some guidance (and brute strength) in clutch replacement. With very short notice, I ordered a Blueprint clutch kit and travelled down to slay the beast. In a surprisingly short time we had the car up on stands, the transmission oil drained and the CV joints out. Also surprising was that none of the

Haha, he certainly is photogenic! November 2016 Following my order of the new (but incorrect) sump, I decided to take a closer look at the crack and see if I could fix it with some JB weld, as I was getting very fed up with having to carry a paint tray everywhere with me to put under the sump to catch the drips of oil. When I looked more closely and gave the crack a little prod, a big chunk of some kind of sealant/epoxy broke cleanly off of the sump, revealing that the real culprit was a small hole! Apparently this had been fixed in the past, not very well though I took a wire brush and s

Well, after a long absence I'm back once more and with a whole heap of updates! It's been a busy few months and though I haven't neglected the Starlet I have neglected my progress blog a bit. So, starting from last year, I'll get bang up to date over a few posts! September 2016 September marked the first time I went drag racing. I and a bunch of mates went down to Shakespeare County Raceway for the RWYB weekend and it was an absolute blast. Some of us brought tents and some of us (myself included) slept in our cars, another new experience. It was surprisingly comfy lying on the back seat

Thanks Trisk, you're a legend!

Morning gents, I'm looking at getting (what is, I assume) an OEM-style twin cam sticker for my Starlet. Since there are none for sale to the best of my knowlege my only option is to produce a vector and get my mate to print one for me. All of the reference images I've found so far however are not that great for this sort of thing. My question is, does anyone on here have this sticker and could get some clean frontal pictures of it please? Even measurements of the general size if that's doable. I'd be more than happy to share the vector on here when done. Here is the picture of the sticker,

Long Eaton reporting in! It's funny, just saw a pristine red N/A driving past a few minutes ago. Loads of Starleteers around Notts for some reason

Riding shotgun with a colleague yesterday when we saw what looked like a silver Glanza driving past the hospital into the city at around 5PM-ish. Any one of you?

Sorry for the long absence! Between work, a breakup (more power to weight now!) and curtain installation, it's been a busy Month. The car side of things has been no less busy however. I've also gone back and resized all of my images so they're not so obnoxiously huge! First order of business was to finish off the rear brake shoes. When I replaced them previously I discovered that the previous owner had replaced them asymmetrically; the nearside ones were practically new. Not wanting to continue the cycle of asymmetry, I changed them over so they should now both wear out at more or less the

Lucky; I've been searching for one myself to no avail! Lovely SR though, looking forward to seeing what you do with it

Looks great, nicely done! I'm tempted to try and source some skirts now lol

Quick evening update: cable tied the offside splash guard so it doesn't dangle worryingly anymore. Drift-spec ;)

The past weekend I made the long trip down to Essex to meet up with my mate and reseal the sump. After braving the horrors of the M1 I made it quite late in the evening. We had a bit of a crack at the sump on Saturday night after I got there, but with the light fading fast and not even the use of the patented Active Swearing System (ASS)™ managing to get the thing to budge we called it a night, parked up the Starlet and got down to drinking. Eventually on Sunday we got up and got to work! Here she is, up on axle stands and with the nearside wheel removed for easier access and more "bashing r

Hahaha, I'm hoping that Justitis can only be caught by Subarus ;)
