  1. thanks folks ill make use of this tomorrow and make sure my car is all earthed properly because im sure i ended up with a stray wire that lookin like it was an earth :blink: .

    make sure its not the ariel for the alarm if you short it to earth it can kill it <_<

  2. they will be banks of earth like on any car one or two will be in the boot behind plastics near one or both lights, check both foot wells below the A pillars defo near the fusebox and one near the fusebox in the engine bay plus all engine earths gearbox, near starter one to the head and alternator.

  3. make sure none of the wires have pulled out of the small multi pin plug that goes in the rear of the unit and the larger ISO plug that plug into the cars loom, the wire might not of come out completely though. All the pins should be at the same hight in both plugs.

  4. My SR comes with a rear seat belt, ive just tucked it under because 3 people aint sitting in the back :D

    lol luke i wont need all 5 all the time but me, 3 kids and the wife........ well suppose i could leave the wife at home lol :thumbsup: how much do they if i leave it out i should be all of 0.0000000000000001 of a second faster lol

  5. Hi mate. Where abouts in manchester you from? I've had a look at that V 3-4 months back. lol.. He's had it for a wile in the showroom.

    Something just doesn't look right about it. Think the black one was standard.

    yeh black one was standard with white wheels but high mileage at 150,000 km and he wanted 3800 for that one i just walked away was not impressed at all with the company when i was asking about the silver one he found it very hard to answer me kept poping into the office to ask someone else oh i'm from middleton (proper nice place lol)

  6. Thank for the fast reply, as long as i know they come with one standard they will have the anchor point is cool even if the one i buy hasnt got it fitted i can alway pick one up as i need all 5 belts

  7. I've now looked at 4 Vs two were aload of turd this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

    guy had a black one to but the silver was really dodgy, looked clocked (clock said 88,000km) the steering wheel well worn out and drivers seat, but all mods were bodged, fmic had only been attached to just the bumper, lamba had all wire cut off (4 wires) bolt snaped in the manny to the turbo did have a screemer though, he wanted £4400 for it, be warned people.

    but anyway my question is do only some Vs come with a center belt on rear seat or are they added by some owners as out of all 4 Vs only one had the center belt but it looked factory.

  8. yeh check fuses mate first off the check earths, as of the note change on the engine the side lights shouldn't be noticable as they dont put that much load on the engine/alt were about are you could pos help out

  9. sooperd yes i can, quote of just short of £700 not bad i thought but i've full no claims and 28 so i'm past that age were they say no! car was clean inside and out other than a few stone chips and scuffs on the front lip right on the corners plus the seat bolsters nothing that cant be sorted plus might be able to knock him down abit it will need a cat 1 but i can do that np. thanks for the replys everyone think i'll just tell the wife she cant drive it lol then she cant complain about the ride.

  10. thanx jay, i think i will go back if the guy registers it in a decent time frame, the seat bolsters were the same on both side really deflated and misshaped but the cloth wasnt ripped or worn out i'll have to find a good used one if i buy it

  11. just from a search on this forum i found that on low boost its 6psi on high boost is 9psi standard, fc kicks in at 12.5psi so I can only guess that the standard ecu can advance ignition and inject enought fuel up to 12psi so thats 3 pounds of boost per square inch of air extra in the cylinders which is a fair bit not sure how much hp you'll gain but you'll be able to tell the difference please someone correct me if i'm wrong.

    Any increase in boost will reduce the life of your turbo and engine especially if the fuel air mixture is wrong

  12. I'm new, I dont even own a starlet yet but am looking been to see this one today http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT it had 88k, BOV, lowered 2.25" exhaust staight with ss backbox not a diy job rear dampers had and aduster on them and a TRD sticker but fronts looked standard good tires and clean unmarked wheels i checked usual stuff oil water leaks oil was clean water was pink? and it was dry underneth looked for smoke on start up.

    now heres my question it wasnt registered yet and guy said it will be done moted and tax / service by next week but he hadn't even sent the docs off to register it yet is it really that quick to register an import, plus i couldnt drive it because of this. mow it looked really low uncomfy low but cant tell till i drive it, if its to hard what are my options if i do buy it and how hard are they to change thank.

  13. Hi people, joined a few days ago spent them few days looking about and getting to know my way round before introducing myself. I'm from Middleton in manchester I'm 28 and i'm a 10year auto electrician plus i dabble with the old electronics mainly fixin stuff. I've not got my starlet yet but i'm looking for one :) been to look at the first one today off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT if anyone else wants a look its in sheffield. I've not long ago owed a corolla (1993) for 2years with the 1.3 4efe engine in it and I was well impressed by how much it had to give and how much it could take. I'm liking the site so far loads of info and you guys seem to know what your going on about from what i've been reading.
