Right been looking round and what people have some and most people use a sieve mesh but I found an alternative that gives you a few spares. What you will need. A cheap frying pan splatter gaurd A Stanley knife or similar A small tin of Hammerite A marker pen A pair of scissors A suitable size jubilee clip An adult for supervising the the cutty out bits Step 1: Remove the splatter guard from the packaging. Step 2: take the Stanley knife and run around the outer ring of the splatter guard so that your just left with the mesh. Step 3: work out how big you need the mesh I worked out that for my TD04 it needed to be the size of a small tin of Hammerite, i worked this out by measuring the diameter of the inlet then allowing a little either side (1cm) for clamping. Then using the marker pen draw around the tin. Step 4: Cut around your outline with a pair of scissors. Step 5: Trial for it for size I was lucky I had a spare turbo housing but if not try it for size as if you've made it to small you still have more mesh to make it bigger. If all is good continue to the final step if not repeat from step 3. Step 6: If all is good fit it to the car tighten up the jubilee clip and happy boosting. Writing & Images by Rob Bower

Very easy way to turn your foglights yellow just like our friends over in Japan! What you will need... A4 Sheet of Yellow Tint Film Clean Cloth and Water Heatgun/Hair Dryer Sharp Blade Use your rag, wet it and clean the front AND sides of the fog lights, basically anywhere the vinyl will touch, once done dry them off with clean towel. Cut the A4 sheet in half so each peace is big enough to cover your foglight with extra overlap then peel your film and place carefully on the foglight. From the middle of the light outwards, push all bubbles the out and make sure the vinyl is down all over the surface of the fog light, Once you get to the edge of the light get your heat gun or hair dryer out and heat the edged and pull the vinyl tight so it sits nice on all the curves and edges. Once this is done press it all down round all edges with your thumb just for safe measures. Get your sharp blade and cut round the back of the fog lens leaving a little bit of extra vinyl 1-2mm to tuck round the lens. Once you have done this get out your heat gun / hair dryer and heat up the vinyl till it tucks itself round the back of the lense and push in with your thumb for safe measures. All Done! Vinyl can be purchased from a Trader on UKSO called Stick-2-It.

A Guide to show the benefits of fitting a Front Mounted Intercooler Kit to your Starlet Turbo, along with information on why it's a good idea and which is the best kit to buy! I've tried to get hold of the best pictures I can to give you a visual idea too which I feel is important. Small thanks to Ro55fumi for some photos I stole and edited, rest were mine! Why? So what are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this change and going to a front mounted intercooler setup. There are more benefits to be honest and you will always hear different opinions but here are the main ones: Which is the Best Kit to Buy? There are many kits out there but the majority of them are all copies of kits that already existed on the market! Essentially there are 2 main types of front mounted intercooler kits. The only major difference between the 2, one being the pipe route pre-core and the other being the physical intercooler core itself. Below is a small table with the features of both kits: How do I Fit a FMIC Kit? Get all your components laid out and ensure you have everything, in these pictures I will be fitting a HDI Kit to my EP91 Glanza V. 1, Turbo To Pipe 2 2, Pipe 2 to Intercooler Core 3, Intercooler Core to Pipe 4 3, Pipe 4 to Pipe 5 4, Pipe 5 joins onto Throttle Body Fix your intercoolers core firmly in place. The pipework and joiners will allow a small amount of flex but the intercooler core must stay firmly in place! This is to help pipes becoming loose and you ending up with a boost leak! Try to get it slap bang in the middle too if you can! The mounts that come with these kits are usually thin straight pieces of metal that you have to bend at the right places to mount your intercooler core. I fabricated my own as you can see from the image. No matter how you mount your core, cable ties are quite good for holding the core in place (hanging) while you adjust, bending or fabricating mounts. Mock fit your pipework with the joiners but don't tighten up your jubilee clamps just yet. Make sure all the pipework is clearing all the major components and wont rub or rattle on anything. The pipework can get quite close to the towing hooks, washer bottle, battery tray and bottom water hose. This could cause a failure overtime! Once your happy everything has sufficient clearance use the clamps to secure the pipework in place. Its then wise to go for a quick test drive, this is actually illegal (to drive without a bumper) so make it short. You just want to be testing there are no boost leaks (which would be easy to spot on a boost gauge, or even hear). Also make sure nothing has moved or started to come loose and is still secure. The final part is to trim bodywork/wheel arch's to clear the new intercooler core and pipework. Remember this is the bit everyone will see so take your time, it took me about 20-25 attempts, trimming a bit off the bumper, test fitting and repeating until it fitted perfectly. If you do a neat job it will look stunning. The Varis Aftermarket Bumpers are designed to suit the HDI Style Intercooler Cores perfectly, so this is also a brilliant upgrade! So there we have it, that's how we fit a Front Mounted Intercooler setup to a Toyota Starlet! Generally to reach 200bhp on the stock engine and turbo you will need one of these kits. The more boost and bigger the turbo the more power you will get from fitting one of these kits too! Enjoy!
