yet again the starlet has brought me more bad luck first last Tuesday i lost all my gears so i suspected id smashed another clutch so had a new clutch friction disc made up, managed to get it slightly uprated apparently the 1 the chap built me was the same as the 1.6 vvti corolla...... so ive pared this with my trd clutch plate which i also smashed, so i took the gearbox off to find the clutch in like 30/40 pieces lol so thats 2 clutches in 3 months lol including the trd 1. so neways Sunday night finished messing with the car, went out to meet some mates only got half a mile or so booted it off the roundabout then...... shit the bed the bonnet flew up, but as it came up it ripped the hinge off on the 1 side so the bonnet ended up at 45 degrees off the side of the car. when it happened i thought something had swooped down at me with a black cloak/coat it took a few seconds to realize with the bonnet not being directly infront of me some how theres no damage to the car at all apart from the bonnet and the scuttle panel so really lucky, i had to bend the attached hinge so i could fasten it down with the bonnet pins so i could drive it then to add to this half hour later i blew the manifold gasket to pieces so i lost all boost. luckily ive already sorted this, i thought oh shit ive smashed the mani lol you just gotta love these starlets few pics remember always fasten your bonnet pins Dean
