  1. Well it as given me the BHP of most of my classic cars which is sad all below 60 bhp
  2. I found this site the lists a lot of car specifications seems to be very good Here the list for Starlet http://www.carfolio.com/search/results/?te...mp;x=16&y=7 And here a list of all the other cars http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/?man=6082 And i now know my Chevette as only 57BHP
  3. all i know is mine a Dry, Mesh type filter of a Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec SE (i have a Focus) the kit clamed to give me a extra 10BHP with no cold air and 20BHP with cold air that would give me 110BHP to 120BHP in the Foucs at 6000rpm I wonder what i as done for the Starlet All i know is the kit came with a polish induction pipe which when changing gear or when put the foot down it whistle and i do know i have no turbo and it ain't a faint whistle it lound enough one
  4. I have mine on all year round and never clean them so put them on and keep them clean

    Poor Up Keep

    I spend most of my time fixing cars and made me think one day whats the worse car i have every had to fix so whet the worse you have every seen my favorit one is a Toyota Starlet early 80s or 70s the owner had it from new and never fixed anything on it never changed the oil check the oil or any thing i think the breaks where done it once there was 350,000 on the clock and it was going for a NCT (MOT) all i did was replace some light blubs sent it in and it passed. The second one is my Starlet all for shocks have been going over the last year and now my car sit to one side and leans to the fro
  12. i say it will but if i do some maths i have had the car just over a 1 year and a half got it with 166,000 on the clock so i say in anorther 2 to 3 years
  13. Got it fixed fault spark plugs and they where new oh well lets see if i can get 300,000 out of it before i need a rebuild
  14. done one and it spot on and the head was done at the end of last year
  15. The problem is the car as start making odd sound when it hit 200,000 miles the engine as lost power alot of power takes 15 mins to get to 60mph and that foot to the floor it as also start to drinks petrol There is no blue smoke from the car idle is spot on the trouble start when you put the foot down At 2000 rpm to 3500 rpm it run on 3 pistons at 3500rpm up it runs on all 4 i have replace spark plugs, ht leads, roter arm, distripter cap and still no good any help will be great as the car is doing my nut and i am so close to scraping it at this point
