  2. Evening, all. I am building a 4efte atm, just got a headgasket kit with headbolts (BGA) As I've been following the torquing procedure, one of the bolts on the second tightening @ 33 lbft never clicked and just kept turning until it snapped? I thought I was going to have to remove the head and start on removing the bolt but I unscrewed it and the bolt came out still holding onto the bottom half. Quite obviously overtightened. I used an old bolt (which were actually only in the engine for 4 weeks prior to me buying the engine) torqued it up and it was fine. Is there somethin
  3. Hi all, just after some advice. So I've bought a rolling shell and now bought an engine thats gone on the big end, bought it cheap for 250 to fix. I've had the crank reground, they've done the mains to 0.5 and big ends to 0.75 I'm struggling to source bearings for the 0.75 thickness anyone know of a good source? Also is it safe to run on 0.75 bearings? I'm not going to be running big power, it's standard internals. Also I need a rod, so looking buying a second hand piston with rod, would I need to get them balanced now I've bought a piston and rod seperate? Or just balance the
  4. Hi peeps I have just bought a rolling glanza shell, and I removed the skirts to find some nice big holes in the sills. The sills for starlets are discontinued, anybody know how much it costs to get them done? Replaced.

  6. So the side skirts I had to drill the sills with an 8mm drill bit to fit my clips for the skirts, and then screwed in the end caps, they fit really well tbf, impressed myself! Fitted the tailgate and numberplate surround with new clips. And sourced a 98 spec front bumper along with headlights and a bonnet!
  7. Got hold of some lowering springs and got my skirts and numberplate surround freshly painted. Ready to glanza the outside
  8. Sorry for not updating for a while I will get you up to date, wasnt abandoned. It was finished with the great help of lukEp pics to follow 👍
  9. Not long bought the car, these alloys came with it, but i can't find out what they are?? Anyone know?
  10. Update on the build : Today I spent the morning on the starlet, I had gathered a fair chunk of parts. Firstly I drilled the holes for the oil filter housing to sit and tapped them. Heat wrapped the decat pipe, I did want to wrap the manifold but the standard glanza one is small and you just cant get anything on it haha, so sprayed that with VHT paint black. So then fitted the manifold and turbo, glanza sump oil feed and return. Rocker cover went back on and I started her up, just to see if it still ran 😂 it does 👍👍
  11. Cheers mate, wish I wasnt working still I'd be able to get loads more done 👍
