Pretty sure they are 195 50

Check the hoses for oil inside them, intercooler piping and the small hoses from the turbo to the any thing in your setup. Then after you have made oil is all gone, check turbo for shaft play and see if its spinning freely.

I have never heard of a loose bearing in the steering column. Its a simple steering rack with a track rod arm in each side. The steering rack is also pretty simple with one knuckle joint. The only thing i can think of is a “wheel bearing” which is common amongst starlets because of the age of them now. the wheel bearing are pressed into the hub. They can be replaced, but sometimes its easier just to get a second hand hub with a good wheel bearing.

Ideally a front mount is what you want. The top mounts a prone to heat soak because of the location of them.

Custom for sure, a few people have done a retrofit of hid projectors.

pretty sure its the efi fuse for fuel as i take it out when i do compression tests Fuse box is located in engine bay The small fuse box in the driver side dash is for lights and ignition and stuff.

Thats crazy, 56 days is nothing! I would be telling everybody. 132 out of a starlet? That’s easy work you didnt hit the limiter? that a nice suprise at that speed. the only thing to worry about now is the increased insurance for the next few years.

Looking for one of these for a while now. They were going for stupid money so i had to be patient. Finally got one. 80mm Greddy boost gauge. Its a mechanical one just to show you pressure.

^^ starlets in scrap yards are not that common. you get a lot of fords and vauxhalls. Ebay/gumtree is ok for small parts. Or someone on here breaking a starlet. Your interior light and clock stop working? Sounds like a blown fuse?

What starlet do you have? ep91? Have a look in the for sale section and breakers for people selling bumpers. Or ebay wheels is personal preference in taste but i would stick to 15" alloys 55mm centre hole and 4x100. Looks at what others have got. you might want to look into suspension mods with the alloys otherwise your arch gaps with be big.

Overpriced for sure, you can get a decent v for around that money

Good progress dude, forgot how good the remix bumpers look. nice idea with the headlights, 2018 should be a good year for this little motor

If the cv if leaking grease that could cause you problems. I would sort that out first. It can cause more problems than you think. Its the main piece that bolts to the hub to drive the wheels. the joint is easy fix so start with that. sometimes the joint leaks grease and it can get on the tyres giving you strange handling.

Been super busy recent so no updates until now. Had to wait a little while but the next step is here. Going to still need some other bits to go with this as i want to run COP. The list is getting a little longer but progress is being made.

^^ who on facebook sells the rails??

I got my wife a leon cupra r with the same engine. BAM engine are 225bhp. they are not slow but with a bit if tuning easily go well. The six speed box works well with the engine and is nice drive with. Suffer from a couple of common faults. Look em up on google. Engine sludge, easily overcome with forte. my one had a auxiliary water pump leak, easy fix. just look out for usual oil leaks and Turbo pipes. They are strong engines in general and easy to tune.

Check the manifold with a straight edge and use two manifold gaskets with the toyosport. you do get a ticking noise that rises with rpm if there is a leak

Depends how the bhp is achieved. Good ecu with a good mapper it will hold 220-250. Depends on engine health and many other factors

Excellent seller, received mine fast and well packaged. Thanks pete

its a starlet forum but any car is welcome here, Im happy to see any build thread from passionate owners. Its all in the details that no one notices These mx5 are awesome little cars. Lots of mods you can do these now, Is this 1.8? They are solid little motors Looks foward to seeing progress on this

Nice update, Car sits really nice on those alloys.

You put it on when installing but if they start making noise you will need to regrease them. More common on suspension bushing

Its a photobucket issue, taggy might be able to sort it. But dont expect for it to be sorted anytime soon as poeple are trying to figure out the easiest way to sort it out

If you want to do the engine mounts i suggest some tiger seal instead of polybush. Polybush is too harsh for the roads in my opinion.
