Hi, Someone has taken a screwdriver or something to my Quad-lights passenger window I was wondering if anyone could help me. Is the glass in 1996 GT Turbo the same as any of the standard UK starlets or will i need to get glass from a breaking GT or imported glass? Do they have a specific part code? I got a quote for £275 from Autoglass! Which is just crazy! thanks.

I had one of the earlier GTI's more boxy than that and it was a quality car.

unfortunately not :< its going in to get fixed tomorrow....

Someone parallel parked the paint off my bumper on saturday night then ran away ;) If anyone sees a car with lots of black toyota paint stuck to the front in dundee let me know!!

I'm just running a clean quad-light just with good leads, plugs and a blitz filter. I find with the starlet you can take most cars for the first little bit but then they reel you in. Its just so light and nimble. The r32 is heavy and if you dont have good clutch control you can easily lose a couple of car lengths just on the initial pull off.... I'm under no pretence that the r32 say 50-100 wouldnt kick my ass by the way and i'm not really into thrashing my car. I just like to zip up to the speed limit to humiliate boy racers then let them cruise by a few seconds after i level off. incident

nah was definitely an R32 with huge rims on it and it was two guys who were going for it. By the time i hit 50mph i was about 4 car lengths on them but then i was done for.....

I wasted a vdub r32 last night. He was really going for it but i 0-60'd much faster than him... Heavy German cars.......

I thought the exedy was supposed to be 35% stronger than the standard clutch? I dont suppose it really matters though. As long as there is no danger of gearbox damage??

Yeah i get a bit of that too in first gear. Once you are in motion its fine though. I just figured the turbo kicked out too much torque for the standard clutch. Was considering the Exedy upgrade.

Just found this on ebay.. seems quite cheap compared to the £40 K&N.. Any good? blitz filter link

I've been running around on it for a day now and i've just put it back to recirc. It definitely is less responsive venting out so the recirc must be doing some good. Possibly a proper atmospheric BOV with a harder spring would work better......

well thats a 2p with some rubber solution fitted. Seems ok. Its quite a soft sound you get off it , especially on normal gear changes. Maybe consider putting a hose on it so it vents outside the bonnet.. anyone done this?

I did consider this. A 2p with some silicon sealer? It would ne nice to have something a bit neater though.

IMA only do 20 and 25mm unfortunately. I don't suppose anyone else has any ideas? thanks

Hi, What are peoples opinions on a carbon bonnet on a black ep82? I know the black bonnet looks great on a red or white car but on a black car does it just look like a bad respray from a distance??

I've now phoned around every motor factors in dundee and none have a listing for the ep82 or 4efte. closest they can get is the 1.3 4efe. The Toyota dealer can source one but its £20 + VAT ... ouch!

Its 22mm if anyones interested.

No, never made it to those. If you send me your email i have pics. cant seem to upload to this.

Hi, i dont suppose anyone has a code of an ep82 Glanza GT alternator belt? Camskill only list the ep91 and i've phoned around a few factors and cant find one listed for the 4efte. thanks.

eeep! looks like i'm the oldest here @ 30! I've just got my starlet GT. I had a drift converted Mazda MX5 1.8 Turbo pushing out 205BHP but it did about 15mpg and had enough room to store a hamster.... time for something a bit more practical i thought.......

Up in ayrshire somewhere? I'm in Dundee.

baz?

Excellent, thanks. I dont suppose you know what size the GT is or will i have to take it in bits and measure the hole? Gave them a phone this morning and they werent sure. cheers.

Hi, sorry to ask again, but.. whats the best thing to block the recirculator pipe off with? I've take in into a couple of garages to ask if they have anything and one said "try and get something off ebay" and the other side "you will need to get something machined"... Is there a cap you can just buy? thanks again.

Hi, I've been reading the threads on induction kits and it seems like a panel filter is the way to go for maximum performance without having to redesign the engine bay! What panels are available for the starlet GT. I've seen the K&N from camskill for about £45 and there is a blitz one for under £40. Any others on the market? whats the best? thanks...
