    Rubber up!

    Them Yokos' are ruddy good tyres
  3. It also depends on the size of the exhaust pipe. I can't remember what exhaust sizes Starlets use, however the below is the general consensus with a GT-Four. If your running say a 2.5" system with decat then you should be fine and not suffer creep. However running a larger bore 2.75-3" with a decat will usual see some boost creep. If you are getting creep than either: 1) Stick the cat back in. 2) Fit a restrictor ring in the exhaust system. 3) Putting a bung in the tail pipe (like a nur spec) may help. 4) Hybrid or Garrett turbo. 5) Get an external wastegate.
  4. Don't know, they were on when I got the car!! On mine they look like a straight swap over, don't know bout a Starlet though
  5. Ive got GAB 4-way adjustable shocks on the Celica and it handles like a dream, obviously this isn't really going to help as you have a Starlet but they seem to be spot on IMHO
  6. When I had my GT it would idle quite high so unplugged the IAC valve and it would idle a bit lower (for a second or so) and then stall. I just sprayed a very small amount of carb cleaner into it and plugged it back in, seemed to idle alot better after that.
  7. He said it does 1/4mile in 13.1 @ 115mph
  8. Ive got em' and can't fault em'. Apart from the fact that the wheel nuts scuff the paint when taking them on and off as the fitment is very tight!
  9. I have never liked quad lamp ones, square lights FTW!! But your car looks very

    MY New Toy

    Its probably just me but in the 2nd pic down it looks like it has a fluffy dashboard Nice V by the way
  11. I think thats the first quad light I have seen that Ive actually liked
  12. Standard vs standard you should cream him over 1/4mile. However I raced a few down the pod with my Starlet, about 140bhp and I was running low 15's and getting trounced by R5's running low 13's!! But these were far from standard!
  13. It can do but the postage and packaging cost would be a bit steep
  14. I ain't selling no Paseo Or lip kit for one either Got a pair of Celica tail lights though if your interested
  15. Saw this on another forum and thought Id share it with you guys: A young, well heeled man called Peter wanted to buy a Christmas present for his new girlfriend. They hadn't been seeing each other for very long and she lived a considerable distance away. He consulted with his sister and decided after careful consideration, that a pair of good quality gloves would strike the right note, not too romantic and not too personal. Off he went with his sister to Harrods ladies dept and they selected a dainty pair of fur lined quality leather gloves. His sister bought a pair of knickers for her
  16. Happy New Year. heres to a great 2009 My plans are now to keep the Celica and try for around 350bhp ish
  17. Civic is bloody quick But still sounds gay
  18. Have you got a link to the car your after mate??
  19. Merry Xmas everyone. Only 2 hours till turkeys ready.......... .........mmm, can taste the breast already
  20. Got sent this in an email.... If you cannot decipher anything, then try pulling the corner of your eyes as if you were Chinese.

    wierd

    Im with Elephant and it has said that on all my policies with them for the last 3 years
  22. When I had my Starlet I got pulled 5 times in 6 months!! 1. A random stop check. 2. My mate wasn't wearing a seat belt. 3. Speeding, il own up to that one! 4. Excessive accelaration out of a junction 5. Stopped for .........."expelling compressed air" yep I got stopped for having a dump valve!!!!!!
  23. GTI-R's are silly quick, my mate is on his 3rd! 1st one he had to sell when he couldn't insure it. 2nd one blew up. 3rd one is now in bits....................after blowing up. As said gearboxes are very weak, buy one thats had a Quaife unit put in. Body panels are flimsy. Brakes are s**t....................very s**t. Get a good one though with around 350bhp and its a Ferrari killer down the 1/4 mile. However running costs are extraordinary at that power level.
