Hi I am thinking of buying a set of spark plugs for my n/a. (1998 with 2e engine). As usual I have a couple of questions. To be honest I have no idea of what the differences are between the iridium ones, normal ones etc etc. Can anyone shed some light? Also spark plugs usually have a specified heatrange....what does this value stand for exactly? What is recommended for an n/a? Are the sparkplugs for a 2e engine the same as for the 4efe? Any suggested brands? I have no idea on what to buy and so on so feel free to add any information which might be relevant....

I belive parts have to be ordered from Toyota. Following links will be helpful re part numbers and so on --> Link1 --> Link 2 No idea how much they would cost you in the UK

Searched 3 years for my n/a......petrol starlets are quite rare here, most of them are diesel

Just remove the airbox and rev the car a bit....this will give you an idea of how it will sound. Obviously do NOT drive the car without the airbox....

That's probably what I'll do if the filter turns out to be good

Bought one of them for 20Euros shipped....not a lot of money....we'll see how it goes...if I don't like it it's back to the standard airbox lol Any tips on maintenance of these filters? Cleaning every Xkms and so on?

I have been looking around for quite some time for a cone filter. On ebay I came across "Apiro" filters which are quite (or rather very) inexpensive....it seems they are a new brand as there are only a few reviews about them on the internet....I have to say that none were negative....What are your thoughts on these filters? Are they as good as more expensive ones? If not are they at least better than OEM airbox?

My sound system is as follows....pioneer headunit, 2 pioneer front speakers (emotion range) and 2 6x9 's (no idea what brand as they came with the car) at the back. It's nothing much but it's decent. My mate, on the otherhand, has a similar setup with a subwoofer...can't say there is no difference but nothing worth the extra money he spent in my opinion

Need to put a couple hours of thought in what to do with the front....so many possibilities. I think I'd better start with the back (more straight-forward job - glanza spoiler + glanza bumper) to give me time to decide. I really need to start a project thread with pics

Any input is always appreciated

What I had in mind was only the glanza scoop on a standard bonnet....not a glanza bonnet on an n/a, just the scoop

Yeah but I'm going to do a remix bumper and I really like the scoop lol....hopefully my ep will be one of a kind

Is it possible to fit just the scoop on a standard ep bonnet?

They should use it for one of the challenges ....reasonably priced, fast and reliable

Did topgear ever review a starlet?

Anyone?

Bump^^ Also Anyone know what the thermostatic valve does?

For thesake of keeping the forum/thread in order here is the diagram for the airbox again. Link This is basically what the engine looks like (pic found off net...mine is cleaner )Picture There is no rubber pipework as with 4efe.....I measured the metal thingy to which the airbox is connected and its 2.5". The part I measured can be seen in the parts diagram as the hole in the airbox....is this the correct measurement?

Thanks mate Yeah mine is with the carburator. I have my doubts as to whether there are any 1998 n/a starlets with this engine in the UK

As above Anyone has any idea what the inlet diameter of a 2e engine is? I need to know this in order to get some quotes for performance air filters.

2e Engine was used on corollas, starlets and tercels..... Any help?? (especially with the diameter)

Thanks mate....however I'm currently asking locally for quotes on Apexi and K&N filters. The main problem I am encountering is that since my car has a different engine from most starlets on this forum (2e engine), I do not know whether the car has the same intake diameter and so on. Also diagram shows thermostatic valve....I have no idea what this is for Clean engine bay by the way

So I encountered my first problems (as usual ) Since my car came with a 2e engine from the factory, the airbox is different than that found in a 4efe or 4efte engine. This is the diagram of my airbox CLICK HERE So my questions are: What is the diameter of the air intake? What is the thermostatic valve (17728) found in the airbox and what is its function?

I was referring to Malta not the forum ;)

Put some pics up FTOs are pretty rare here
