if anyone can help here it would be much appreciated.... when i start the engine after its been standing for a while it knocks only for a couple of seconds then goes quite, also when i hold the revs around 3000/3500 rpm it also knocks, the obvious answer i assumed would be the big end shells, this all came about after the oil pick-up filter blocked causing the piston rings to get stuck in the pistons, when i stripped the engine one of the shells was slightly scored with no major damage to the crank journal, after replacing rings and shells the engine ran ok for around a month before the engin

i think there the same, was looking at a guys and they look the same, as though there same from the same mould, but havent had the airbag off one so i dont no if the centre nut is the same thread/size? im not too bothered about the last couple of mods so if i find a grill ill give you a shout before i have it ;-)

i know what you mean mate, was 50/50 whether put it in but i got it for nothing because the speakers on it dont work lol and to be honest, ther'll break in for the head unit first anyway, plus i dont leave it in dodgy places lol, in it most the time. nd cheers bourkey, theres a couple of little things i want now but other than that i think im going to leave it as it is, a fancy some late spec rear lenses and a remix front grill, thats about it if you no any for sale and wudnt mind the rav4 steering wheel, looks the same step up as mine but in black nd silver? by the way, nice starlets ;-)

ah i think i saw you at the festival one night i got it from a scrapy up in rochdale, japs of rochdale, had a starlet sr in 1ao silver same as ours with 4 speedlines and the tte spoiler, a bought the wheels and the bootlid for 100 :-) when i went there was only two there, a white starlet s and the silver sr but it might be worth giving him a ring, i think theyve got a website aswel if you cant find a tte you could always get a cd spoiler, there not quite as big but theres alot more around ill keep me eye out for one anyway ;-)

right, think its time for an update and since ive been gone the starlets give up, after the previous owners life of drivin to london, leaving the car standing for the week while they went uni and then driven back up and round stoke at the weekend the oil had congelied (conjeealed, god knows!?!?) and blocked the oil pick up, the piston rings got stuck round the pistons and after alot of blue smoke i had to strip it down, new engine gaskets and seals kit, big end shells and rings it should be back up and running tomorrow other than that theres... dvd tv sd card touchscreen kitchen sink head u
