MK1 GT Snow Edition - Full respray finally
aaddzz123 replied to aaddzz123's topic in EP80/EP82 Progress Blogs
Well I managed to get the pillar painted today but also decided to get rid of a scrape on the side at the same time. It didn't take long and really needed doing so why not. Originally looked like this Then like this And finally like this I still need to go over and polish the roof and see how the blend looks. I also need to flatted all the paintwork and polish it so excuse that it's not mint yet, but here's the dent free pillar Happy with it so far . See how the blend comes out after I've flattened it and polished it up ! -

Just time and patience my friend . You'll see when thingy thing ehem ehem haha too kind . Any jobs going at your place? Lol! I think I saw that for sale a few times on ebay:p.

Item For Sale: I have a full MK3 GT interior for sale. Everything is currently there apart from the carpet and front door cards. I need all of this gone so that I can rearrange my shed to a usable state. Open to offers on everything. Item Condition & Description: The front seats have a little wear although still in very reasonable good condition. The rear seats are mint apart from a little rip on the tights like fabric around the underneath. The boot carpet is still fixed to the back of the seats although it needs a good clean. I'm sure the rest of the plastics are in good condition. Par

I've been a busy bum today starting on the bodywork. Thought I'd dive in the deep end and start with what I consider to be the worst part, the 3 dents on the A pillar/above the drivers door... This is what it originally looked like. I started by taking all the paint off so that filler would stick to the surface. Last thing I want is it cracking or falling off! After a few layers it started to take a shape And with a bit of primer and some flattening it now sits like this It's not 100% perfect and does have a little dent still there but once I've painted it, flatten -

I'm not sure if it was an option or not for the none snow edition models to have yellow bulb holders, however mine does also have them. I still need to go around and take some photos of the bulbs, see if the suspension is any different and see what the lark is with the alternator or starter motor lol. It has a sticker on the back too under the offside light which might be to do with it although not entirely sure as I can't read Japanese lol! -

How has the starlet scene changed since you joined??
aaddzz123 replied to fremyjay's topic in Lifestyle General
I've been around for about 4 years and the scene has always been good for me. The starlet is a ace car but if it wasn't for the scene being so good I would probably have a different car. I recently bought a civic which was a car I've always wanted and in terms of an overall view its probably a better car. However I was bored after 6 months and here I am again with a mk1 gt. Nothing to do with the car if I'm honest. The civic scene is shit and the starlet scene is awesome haha. Back in the day when I had fiestas and a few 306s again the scenes were rubbish compared to here. I love the family f -
I was wondering if anyone knew who it was too. Should give the starlet a 5* safety rating LOL

Sorry dude I kinda get what you mean but can you just pin point on here where the RPM wire is please. Might have to zoom in... Or just explain a little better. Not sure if you mean a wire on the big connector or..... or I'm just not sure lol! I'm going to admit I'm a bit too tight to spend £50 on clocks for a working tacho haha.
-
For just £1,000,000 . Just in case how much are the clocks?
-
Haha . It's annoying me not knowing what's wrong. I'd rather strip down to see if I can fix it before replacing it but I think I'm going to end up replacing the tacho if it's a problem with the clocks. Hopefully most toyota from 90s era will use the same tacho as mk1 gts don't really pop up often lol. Cheers guys. Going to test with a multimeter later or temp wire in an external tacho to see if that works or not.
-
Even checked this and it looks alright lol
-
Yeah it revs to the limiter (Now I've fixed a million problems it came with lol)... Yes in the video it was popping and banging because someone had retarded the timing at some point. I've put it back to normal now (roughly, going to check with a timing light soon) but it's still the same...
-
Don't see anything wrong with this side of the board either?
-
Right I've just bought a mk1 GT and the tacho doesn't read properly. When it idles it's a few hundred rpm low and it doesn't seem to read anything over about 3k if I remember rightly... I managed to get a little video the other day. Someone has already told me that they had the same problem and they ended up replacing the clocks. So assuming that it was a problem with the clocks I've taken them apart... There were a few signs that they had been opened before so there's a possibility that something been damaged or someone else might have just tried to fix it too in the past. The big plug clo

Thought you would have uploaded those videos by now ;)

Ha! Funny you should say that as I was going to try another ignition set up and then go get someone to check the timing with a light before buying a new set up. So yes please . Would really appreciate it if you could !!!!! -
I have no idea what you're talking about
