Messaged you mate

Yeh I will do. I just meant turn the boost up lol I live in Burntisland now so it's slightly better ha.

Ok deal. BOOST UP lol

Sweet can I buy it back at the same price now lol. Looking good though. Mate of mine just bought a forged v and I'm fighting off the starlet bug at the moment haha.

I bet I can sort it. I'll need to test drive it another 85 times though. Overnight. Least there's plenty technical info to read through on here lol. If I end up with the starlet bug again it's 100%your fault

Saw you getting a bit stick on Corolla club about this lol Nice motor though. My misses has recently decided she would like a type r and we're looking at these as well. You also know if you decided to sell it wouldn't be worth 17p and a snickers like a corolla lol

Gaskets are just standard ones for the starlet. Be cheap from Toyota if a trader on here cant hook you up. Also as above I used 2 big washers on the throttle cable. You'll know what we mean when you look at the cable mounting point and compare the 2

New inlet Mani gasket and tb gasket. Shouldn't need to remove any pipes from the tb but mark them if you do as it's easy to get muddled up. Finally there's a bolt onto a bracket from the underside of the standard inlet. Hard to see. Just have a good look at all the vac pipes on the standard Mani first and your sorted .

Looking good so far man. Have a look on youtube as I remember some videos of a guy doing a complete rebuild on a 4efte. Helped me out alot. Bit of a language barrier in parts but it was a great guide. If I had a better phone id link you.

Cheers . It was the meguires kit that came with the stubborn defects removal kit . Got it from Halfords

Well its to go to the garage down the road for 4 tyres soon soo Il get them to check the codes . The eml light is on but that's duebto the cat not being there until last week. I want to clean the ocv as well . Thinks that's the right thing I've had a bit forgetful moment but ye i think its the ocv valve. Could be a MAF issue as I replaced the air filter yesterday and I was moving stuff about and it was being quite awkward today. I'm going to do the lift bolts soon too . What do you mean about 1/4 in for every turn ? I'm nervous about things snapping these days . Even considering giving the garage the responsibility for the plug change haha Don't suppose anyone could tell me the hole diameter in a white line arb for the corolla.

I'm lacking a bit in forum activity these days I didn't even notice all these comments lol but I ha some updates . First one is my coilovers finally arrived . Upon removal of the old shocks and springs I found out the reason it was SOOO bad Poor quality because of the camera lens being covered in dust lol Next up I developed a random grinding from the brakes . Sticky calliper slider was the culprit and this thing was f*****g stuck lol And fixed . Notice no anti roll bar connected . I'll get to that Next the headlights were badly faded so set to fixing that with a headlight restore kit Before After By far the most pleasing job I've done . Next on to the exhaust . I don't have any before pics but it was too loud and stuck out too far . Took a visit to pipe dynamics in Leven. Still too loud but getting a mid silencer put it next week . Excuse my thumb lol Next I'm needing to get a new anti roll bar as I took a grinder to mine in a fit of rage trying to take it off. Reason being is thevdroplinks supplied with the coilovers has 12mm ends and the arb's had a 10mm hole some wanted to take it off and drill it . Now I'm after a whiteline one . Also the car runs weird sometimes. Like no power at all when I hit the gas . Mostly just when pulling away or changing gears . Clutch down and it lets me Rev but won't do nothing under load . Goes away after a few seconds . Happened a couple of times when just cruising . Also the other day coming on a slip road I gave it full throttle and it was soo rough. Even in lift it was hesitant . New plugs have arrived and I'm going to have her terra leaned and give the engine a flush and couple oil changes before i start replacing other parts . In the bearish future I'd like the wheels properly coated not roughly rattle canned and the rear bumper painted. End of update for now . Cheers Russell

Lol socks got it in one. Disconnected it when he post his comment and its not gone off since. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of coilovers today. Cars Just undrivable on anything but a perfect road.

Good advice. I'll give that a check in a minute . Cheers . Was pleasantly surprised with insurance costs as well . Yeh for the money I was chuffed with it. Even has a decent service history so I know that at least a couple of owners ago it was taken care of . Wheels are a bit grubby as well having been painted over with a rattle can but from a distance they will do for now

Lol since having a kid I've had nothing close to any spec I wanted . Been driving bangers for years haha
