So, did you not just tighten the bottom pulley enough?.......or? Not to be harsh or anything but, you drove the car without any belts? = no moving water in the block = overheat

Yup, agree with SF if the quote is online you have to buy it online they then phone you up to go thru everything but the price stays the same (on my 2nd year of insurance now, which was done this way) also you can`t haggle with them to throw in free recovery etc etc this can only be done if its an over the phone quote.

Really wouldn`t recommend messing around with the ignition timming (can easily be over done) i had horrible fuel consumption/pinking when mine was done randomly without a timing gun. I never paid any attention to it and when it came to light the pinking was really bad......my opinion = stay well clear unless your a tuner/know what your doing. What it does is, cause the "bang" in the chamber to happen quicker/faster?

Not to mention the running costs of a turbo one.......£30 for a gasket!

Best of luck dont forget, plenty of pics

Good thing is most N/As are now comming onto needing valve stem seals replacing = an ideal oppurtunity to get the head sorted, springs whacked in there with some decent cams.

Lad who fitted the TB http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....453&hl=7afe then sold it http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....702&hl=7afe (dont cost alot mind)

Something like this

End of day........its all about how many beans the parts cost im positive while looking around for honda stuff now that your an owner of one, the price gap for parts is MASSIVE!? (starlet vs honda)

Enrico set me straight on the acis manifold http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....l=acis+manifold In the case of the rods, where is most of the power achived....thought it was between 5-6k? if so shouldnt be much of a problem could always go 5E which is stronger?? on the 6 speed after reading around (tgtt mainly) they dont seem to be held all that high supposidly being weak etc..... Yup, worth ago mate someone fitted one not long ago on here

Yup, thats ^ what im thinking imagine having solid rubber tyres and no air....

We were ALL the same......search,seek,experiment, fail, think, waste money,ask.......learn and spread the word!

32 on all 4 , checked every 2 weeks or so.....at 45 you could be causing alot of damage to the car and the tyres. On topic, head over to katys? thread some good banter there

Throttle body off an avensis/carina (7AFE engine code) a direct fit on a starlet being ~5mm bigger its a good mod Do a search i did a direct comparison (avensis/starlet side by side) and noted everything down....

My kinda disscus.......... in my opinion for the N/As we need Handling RARB Antilift kit New poly bushes everywhere (not just engine, the main chassis ones aswell think, they`ve been in there for what? 12-14 years im sure there past there best) Lowered on KYB srs + springs or coilovers front + rear strut......c-pillar at a push nothing else really helps imho your just adding weight decent tyres toyos, rainsports etc throw un-needed weight out Braking Front braided lines (not sure rears are worth it since the rear breaks at ~15%) bmc`s new standard discs , vented at a push (i dont buy all the grooves/holes bull were not on a track FULL STOP they never get pushed that hard to need stuff lyk tht) uprated pads (or standard) 5.1 fluid Engine corolla inlet filter + feed decat, mani, exhaust 5EFHE cams FTE valve springs raise the rev limit (change the crystal, although power is achived at around 5500 for us it just makes it safer knowing you can go that bit more) tart the head up avensis TB And to be honest i dont care what people say "oh get a FTE/v/gt" etc etc its never as simple as that with insurance costs to think about and fuel and when you do go turbo the cost spirals out of control. Im very very happy with the FE its a little soilder as it is with a few little mods and a decent budget ALOT can be done with it. Lol, just read it all back went waaaaaaaaayy off topic...i`ve always found the lightened stuff to be expensive i`d defo get the crank though no real gains in water pump and alt

Same problem i had with my TT ones bent the clip and its never budged since....

Personally, fuel filter/thermostat/seals etc from toyota every other part is avaliable from motor factors NGK,ADL etc etc.....headgasket kits i`d only buy from toyota or federal-mogul (payen) and belts i`d buy gates (i belive toyota themselves use these guys now?)

I`d LOVE to do something like this........

So so so so tempted to sell up and get a honda looks really nice bud, eyes peeled to see what you do with this

The alu ones seem to be the way to go to be honest...deffo on my list when mine goes

Get both, surprised you dont have either being a track car......it WILL put a smile on your face

Be good to know what the figures are, going to do my on the next service make sure everythings all lovely jubbly

something like this????

If your over the limit and you get caught, you deserve it..........why? its obvious you wernt paying attention if you were you would have spotted them

Not to forget waiting for twts on the roundabout whos cars dont seem to come with working indicators from factory....
