  1. Got the short shifter in a group buy but I can't remember what website it was off of I just remember seeing the post on one of the Facebook pages. Also the plan was to go for the 16v vts engine but they are much more exspensive and you can get a full working saxo vtr for £250.
  2. I'll make sure to keep my eyes open then haha
  3. So over the past few weeks not loads has happened. I've got a short shifter installed and it has made a huge difference to the throw and it's much nicer to change gear now. And I also finally got the thing lowered with some lowering springs until I can afford some decent coilovers. It has improved the look of the car a hell of a lot and it corners much flatter now and feels much nicer to drive and long as there isn't any bumps. Also stuck some 12mm bonnet raisers on since they were cheap and I was bored. Hopefully this month I should have a ne
  4. I haven't got one from before unfortunately but I can get one of it now at somepoint if you'd like
  5. So had a long gruelling day today trying to replace the standard inlet manifold with the corolla one without removing the fuel rail. Got it done eventually not too bad just a couple of seized bolts and then it was done. Also got another eBay 'induction kit' since the flexipipe on the blue one ripped. Also the corolla inlet feels like it's made a huge difference it pulls all the way through the gears now instead of dropping off at the top end it's mad. Also in the process I somehow managed to get my temp gauge needle to spin all the way around and get stuck underneath the pin that's suppose
  6. So the exhaust leak fix didn't last very long at all so looking into a custom exhaust soon hopefully. And I've got a better picture of my rear lights here not looking too bad
  7. So it's been a little while and not much has really happened. All just small things. Most of my time has been spent helping to build my mates Citroen AX that so far has only been taken apart but is now ready to be painted and then it can be put back together with the 1.6 8v out of the Saxo VTR I got some merchandise from the store which I'm very happy with Also bodge job fixed an exhaust leak And smoked my rear lights quite a lot. Possibly a little too much but it's fine.
  8. Alright cheers for the help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I replaced my rear wheel bearings a couple of months ago and now my front ones have started to go and I was wondering if I they are pressed in or not so I know whether I can replace them myself or if I'm going to have to get a garage to replace them. Any help appreciated
  10. Just wondering how difficult is it to change the wheel bearing? I'm assuming this is the front Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Thanks for the help I replaced the boot and then the knocking turned out to be something completely different and I'm assuming the play that there is is normal since it's the same on both sides. Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. So recently as I hit small bumps and pot holes there is a knocking sound coming from the front drivers side and at high speeds like on the motor way my steering wheel vibrates intermittently. After it started knocking I have laid under my car and noticed that my drive shaft has play in it and replicated the knocking sound I hear when going over bumps and pot holes. Also boot attached to the back of the wheel is covered in grease and appears to be leaking. Just wondering if any of you guys could help me figure out exactly what it is so I can get it fixed asap. This is on an na ep91. I'm assumin
  13. I've got a 1999 solida and I'm in the process of changing all my bulbs to LED and the only bulbs I cant find information about is the rear lights. If anyone knows what bulbs I need for the rear lights it would be a great help cheers
  14. Best of luck man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Alright cheers man I was more thinking the timing being out. I'll get a video at some point and send it you if I can get one where you can hear it which I highly doubt. It's more when I accelerate which is hard to video but I'll try. It runs fine anyway
  16. Also don't worry I know the alloys are a bit gross but once funds have increased they'll be getting replaced but that's not currently the top thing on my list. The next large thing will be new shocks and lowering springs but that might not be for a week or two Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Got round to putting the glanza carriers on and bigger discs. They are currently green but at some point I'll change the colour when I know it's gonna be a warm day because there's a couple of other things I want to spray as well. The new pads and discs are currently still bedding in but they already seem sharper and bleeding the brakes has made the pedal feel much better.
  18. I'll keep my eyes open see if any come up I'll have a look see what I think
  19. I'm after some new alloys since mine are pretty disgusting and I need new tyres and don't want the hassle of having them fitted twice and was wondering what looks good. I'm really after some that came standard on another car since funds are quite low and are gonna be quite low for the next year so I want something that looks good but my budget is about £150. Just looking for ideas so any would be greatly appreciated
  20. So no update yet unfortunately but hopefully on Sunday I'll be putting the glanza carriers on. In the mean time a couple of weeks ago I noticed another starlet parked in my works car park so had to stop and take a picture. Still not seen the owner yet though unfortunately.
  21. Ah right cheers man thanks for the warning I'll give them a miss then
