  1. when fitting my rolla mani i noticed how dirty my engine bay really is....whats the best thing/things to use to get all the shit off using the safest method?
  2. then your sorted mate......clean it up n paint it etc if you want before u put it on n your away!
  3. in my old one yes.....a word of advice make sure u put all the pipes back in to where they belong.....if the map sensor one doesnt fit take it off the braket fit it n get the proper pipe asap! learnt my lesson! also if your mani dint com with a rubber gromet which holds to cable in place dont fit the mani till you sort out some sort of bracket
  4. i think there is a bit of confusion here im talking about the black plate (blue cross) next to radiator not the rolla manifold circled in yellow......
  5. yes! it was the map sensor pipe i took it off the braket and just attached it is a temporary measure till i go to the scrappy and get the proper one...kinda sorted the idle and earthing problem too.......guess it will have to do till i get time off work. as for the gasket i didn`t fit a new one but i assume it only costs a few pounds replace it if it makes u feel better...
  6. what is the job of that plate??
  7. Manchester-Bury to be precise....there are about 6-7 but only a hand full of starlets among them all 3dr`s none 5dr...
  8. glad the scum got caught ....i heard something similar.
  9. twats.....dont know how much of help it is but im going to the breakers on mon-tue they have loads of 3dr starlets ill wip one off n get a price for you? also i assume the glass is the same just the mechanism is different...i dont think toyota would use diff glass pieces for ease of fitting in the factory etc......
  10. i`ve racked my brains and narrowed it down to 4-5 things 1) i haven`t earthed it properly the bracket i used is touching a painted part of the car body i think? 2) the cable needs properly adjusting 3)the little breather pipe which is too short needs to be connected up (its above the brake master cylinder attached to a cube thing) 4) injectors, when i took the fuel rail off the one of the rubber seals seemed a bit torn. (will have to get 4 ordered when i get a mo) so mabe theres a leak 5) i haven`t connected something/left something loose im going to check each one of theses things before i
  11. only way to know is if someones done it (doubt it) or try it yourself......i imagine it just prevents the air going staright into the engine so it goes into the radiator or smt??
  12. ok no stopping for anyone but a marked police car.....
  13. what a retraded world we live in....haha would have been funny if there were 2-3 people in the GT. p.s no1 should ever stop if someone flashes them and only if they know/ see there is something wrong with there car and if the police do obvisly. especialy girs at night (heard to many scary storys tbh)
  14. 0o what is that????? get a spare one faff about with it n experiment then do it on your own cover.
  15. lmao......i did read it i know you lot have done it its what i wanna do to the panel which i dont think anyone has done before
  16. i dont think anyone has done it yet.....but im going to put pics of my starlet up soon with all the mods....patience my dear boy.
  17. duno ya know but i have an idea for it
  18. i was looking at this pic (corolla engine bay) will the plate marked with the blue cross fit the n/a??
  19. good on ya bud.....dads a mechanic and MOT tester (15yrs)
  20. possible yeah but i did it at a mates house so i dint have acces to my short socket set...
  21. take the fuel rail off...helps alot but i had flexi head ratchet spanners so im not sure what your tools kit consists of but the second and the fourth nut are twats to get off..... take the air box and hose out make sure your car is cool before u start. disconect the battery before u begin save the hastle of waiting later when you could be testing it haha lol and there is a bolt holding the mani on to a braket thats best tackled from under the car. timming wise i dont have a clue dint worry abt time p.s if you take off the fuel rail and earth and your mate puts the ignition on a hissing noise
  22. theres a gb for flares...starletraje is geting them in....about £8.50? send him a pm if you want one.
  23. i put the earth on but i dont think its "good enough" so im going to add a piece of wire/ relocate it see if it helps. using a new gasket would it make that much of a diff? also how is your cable adjusted? mines a bolt on either side with the rubber gromet thing in the middle
  24. right.......went to the scarpys to see if they had any new corollas or any starlets..low and behold a corolla was on the truck waiting to be unloaded so i took the mani out (cut my hands all over) paid the man 30 beans fitted it at home....and now it idles really low and the engine shakes. pulls amazingly but at 30 or so the car starts shaking really badly....what could it be????? checked everything 10x just one pipe that isn`t too long enough to fit isn`t on......and i bolted the earthing wire to the brake line bracket. also too the battery off for abt 5min or so...
