ive ran the car with no PAS and it would be bareable for a quarter mile day. (i used to drive a nova with 16's and no PAS) I imagine it would make a bit of difference gonna run two Toyo R888's up front aswell

im going up to crail on th 5th november and im wondering what the average time for a standard SR are? im going to disconnect power steering and maybe strip it so id hope for slightly better than average times cheers

I spied a Celica (1993 non-turbo) at my work and i noticed the seats were ever-so-slightly more bareable than the standard gumf in my SR Would these be a straight swap? Any info would be great cheers

Is this the inlet manifold i need? (4E-FE)
stan_the_man replied to stan_the_man's topic in N/A E-Series Engine Discussions
Yeh i work at a breakers so i can have anything i want pretty much (perks of the job eh ) Any other nice parts to look out for on the fellow Toyota machines? Fancy an enlarged throttle body or similar (something to really let it breathe - except a turbo...) -
Im 19 (April and im 20) Im on my 1st Starlet at the moment (only an SR due to having 7points/ban) Ive had 3 Nova's, a Punto, and currently own a Golf too.

I did a search but it didnt really come up with the goods. Is it best to take all hoses too from the Corolla? Might paint it up before it goes on..... -
looking good mate Id look into getting a Pug 206 foglight? It would look alot more flush if it was fitted in the bumper. Im originally a Nova owner and 206 items are used alot to overcome the dreaded MOT Might be worth a look

**EDITED** Righto, Im new to starlets so im also new to effective tunig methods of the 4E-FE engine Ive heard of using a different intake manifold off a Corolla - What age/engine size etc is this? I have fitted a universal K&N filter but im unsure what to do with the sensor on the top half of the airbox - is this essential? What other methods of tuning have you lot used (except turbo's - i have 7points so no-can-do) Anyones input into this would be greatly appreciated Cheers folks

Looking at my starlet ive realised that the door mirrors let it down. what option to i have in regards to aftermarket ones? not shitey M3 etc ones though but something nice. cheers all

Cheers lads Yeh the nova had its blemishes but it was still a nice car The flames i used to get out of the exhaust were amazing - about 2 foot long!!! Good old carb'd engines!! hehe Digi dash was a nice touch too - but rather common, like the speedlines this is my current ride while the starlet is getting sorted - Oh and its for sale!! -
