Dont forget that the throttle body has coolant lines which will allow the wax stat to operate.
Bleed all air out of system and drive it and see how you get on.
-
^^ as above send it back and if they dont refund you the stainless steel manifold exchange for a mild steel one.
They last a bit longer. Braced my mild steel it was fine for 6 months
-
A lot of easy potential in these 1.9 lumps. Was going to get one for my sister but ended up getting the polo 3dr with the same engine and gearbox instead.
Pretty good standard, but beasts when tuned
-
I have seen it mounted behind the bumper on the drive side. You get bring up the reservoir bottle through a hole that already exists in the bottom corrner of the engine bay
Cant help with wiring haven't done mine yet, all i know its pretty staight forward with power and earth. But if you want a switch i would probably get a rocker switch. Ive seen some 20amp 12v ones which should do the job. Not 100% sure though.
-
I think the matching baseball bat wins it. LOL
-
^^ mot tester needs to be told or go elsewhere
Starlets dont come with auto wipe wipers you have to do it manually
You can modify to wipe though.
-
Dont know if they do full struts for starlets, I would confirm before buying.
-
The fronts are a bit a headache getting it, as you have to cut the top of the orginal shock absorbers off and mounts the koni inside.
-
The shock does but the top mounts don't I have the original ones and kyb neither work with the shocks
Look at the suspension mount from underneath, you cant see them from top
-
They give a very controller comfortable ride.
They are a good road setup as they are on the softer side. Although I haven't tried maximum hard setting
I have them with adjustable top mounts and polybushing with anti lift kit.
The the state of the roads nowadays, for me its the perfect road setup
-
If you look at the top mount from the bottom, two sides are straight. The shock should be the same, its a matter of lining them up and bolting down into place.
-
For me the td04 wins because it makes good practical sense, tried and tested and lots
of kits available.
and if it blows up you can pick another one up really cheap and easy
-
I was averaging 35-38 mpg on shorter runs and 42-45 on a longer
Thats with td04 @ 7psi
Front mount intercooler
Standard ecu
Decat

I dont know how the standard brakes would cope with track days but for road use they should be ok.
There are some interesting upgrades from other Toyota cars like the celica. Should be able to find more info on forum
I would get ferodo fast road pads and standard pagid or apec discs
-
If your using cans try to make sure they are not cold.
I warm mine up using a heat gun.
As above base coat and lacquer is the way to do it. Remember fine coats are better than one thick coat.
Be patient and make its warm enough when you paint above 10c outside at least
-
Its will look ok as long as you get a good quality carbon gloss wrap.
On ebay there is 6d wrap which i ordered just to experiment with and im pretty impressed by the way it looks.
But i dont know how easy it apply yet, will find out soon
-
There are many variables, did it over heat? Over boost? Expansion bottle overflowing?
How the gasket fail is important so you can judge if its worth fixing.
previous maintenance is another important factor
-
One bad experience doesn't mean you will experience the same problems.
Just make sure your happy with the arrangements and dont be too surprised if anything goes wrong.
These starlets are around 20 years old now.
I dont know the details of the work being carried out, but do your research.
Ask on here if you need advice, we are happy to help.
If your getting the kit from Racetech then it should come with warranty.
If i was you i would want to know the details of the work,
What ecu will be used?
How much boost will it be running?
Internally gated or externally?
What boost controller do you need?
What fuel pump will you be upgrading to?
What injectors?
What fuel pressure regulator will you need?
Will you need to upgraded clutch? I assume yes
You see there's a lot of things you have to know.
-
Things like this gives me trust issues.
I dont like taking my car anywhere unless i have to. I only have one local mechanic i can trust.
Thats why I do as much as i can myself even though it takes me ages.lol.
-
Awesome,
i will be doing this to mine for sure.
-
Try to pick up a second hand unit kit like wepr, racetech, zisco.....
Make sure you get the right one for your setup, externally gated or not
-
People who have sat in my car comment on how smooth it is and how it feels that im not going that fast.
I have koni yellow adjustable shocks, apexi 35mm springs with tien adjustable top mounts.
Its a very good road setup in mu opinion and others have backed that up after driving its
I also have 15 inch alloys with 50 profile so that must help as well
Very low revs on cold startup.

Sounds like my car after i removed the wax in the throttle body.
I think the na starlets do have coolant lines to throttle body so check them
If thats ok, then the usual rotor arm, dizzy cap and spark plugs etc.
