  1. Sorry to have just skipped through all of the comments but I thought I'd just pop my peice of mind in here... Skylines are the sex.... HOWEVER! If you're looking for a thrill, I swear if you compare power to weight, a skyline is going to need about 400bhp to beat a stripped starlet running roughly 220bhp which is possible on standard internals as some people on here have proven... Imagine 300bhp in a starlet!? I'd say skys are probably my fave car of all time.... But for a daily driver, cheaper option, more of a thrill for me personally... I would have the 300bhp starlet!.... If you want to s
  2. Sunny in Nottingham lol! Not a drop of snow or rain, dry roads.... Weird ehy
  3. keep an eye out on ebay mate! Most likely case if they're not weighed in
  4. Did you try the lamda sensor mate? I had the same problem with my 1.7 fiesta after fitting a new manifold and it turned out to be the lamda... Just unplug it and see if that helps... On top of that I have pretty much the same thing in my run around corsa at the minute and I've read up that it'll be the thermostat... tried that? If its an air leak it'd do it all the time, not just when cold... It's got to be a sensor that reads the tempature or fuel air mixture if it stops when it's warm... I'd change the lamda and the stat...
  5. Shit the bed!!! Think I'll strip mine down to a bare shell when I get home to make sure it's not the same Shocking!
  6. Cheers mate! Ordered one for little MURX !
  7. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Anyone ever tried one of these? Not sure if the starlet is cable or electronic without looking?
  8. Brilliant! Sounds quite easy then .... Will I have any problems lining the wheels up with the steering wheel when I fit the new rack? Or does it only go on one way? I imagine it's a spline? Thanks for all this help guys! Should make my life much easier lol
  9. I'm yet to get a picture of the mrs... However I do have one of the ex!
  10. Right... How does the steering column connect to the rack? That's my main worry really. I'm sure I can wiggle it out physically if I take enough bits off
  11. For a start I didn't really know what section this would go in so sorry if I'm in the wrong department!! Right... I have a leak coming from the steering rack and need to change it (When I say rack I mean the thing in the engine bay that goes from one side to the other... not from the steering wheel into the engine bay). I've had a breif look at it and it looks quite easy to change from underneith, but I've read a couple of guides for steering rack changes on other cars and they say it should take about a day to do :s!! As far as I can see, you take the brackets off that hold the rack to the
  12. You have faaarrrrrrr too much time haha . Should deffinately do a kit for the bolts mate. Makes it look a lot more tidy... Any chance you could get me a couple of pictures of the rack whilst the engine is out too? See what I'm in for lol. MUCH LOVE xx
  13. NOICE! I hope it's done soon... Been waiting for aaaaaaaages now . lol @ the fiesta... Deffinately worth a 1.7 conversion ...... Are you going to paint the engine bay or has it cleaned up well? (I know it'll be in the thread somewhere, but seeing as there's 14 pages, I can't really be bothered to go searching through them all for a picture !!) And erm.... EHEM!! Carbon? EHEMMMMM!!!
  14. Ah I think I saw this on pistonheads!!?.... Idle problem like everyone else is saying, is probably the idle control valve. Failing that, try changing the fuel filter? If its ran out at some point it could run like an absolute dog from past experiences ... Get her cleaned up mate! Looking forward to seeing some more progress
  15. Looking good matty boiii! I had doubts about the white wheels on white, but it looks quite smart . Just need to get that engine back now
