The war is over!!!!!! Doesn't work when the Apexi AFC is unplugged, works when Apexi is plugged in and correction off. Fueling issues. Mixture was way too rich. Edit: On second thoughts, it could be the fuel reg and in my haste, I may have left a wire off when I unplugged the Apexi.

Anyone to advice from when tuning the n/a is Noel.

Get them fitted mate, light wheels make for fast acceleration.

3hp would be plenty, look for a big tank though. I think mine is 55 litre.

Lovely!

They are. All hard rev limit's damage the engine over time. MS2 or MS3 is another option.

I really don't want to break it John, it's just a massive inconvenience at the moment. I'm currently looking at a 1.0L Yaris, just to get me to work and back. I''' know for definate what I'm doing tonight. Need this compression test done ASAP. This is what I've checked so far and it still won't start. Distributor, got a different one to try. Spark much better than before. New set of plugs. Stock & NGK leads tested Injectors, tried my 5e orange ones. FPR, tried a stock 5e one. ECU's, tried both 4e & 5e, TPS, tried different wire combinations on the off chance I got them the wrong way round. Apexi AFC Neo unplugged. Wiring checked as best a possible. All plugs cleaned. Timing checked, belt wasn't the tightest, but it hasn't jumped a tooth. 've narrowed it down to three possibilities, with four solutions. A) Compression Test Re-wire loom C) Immobiliser D) A gallon of petrol and a box of matches.

It might be worth venturing over to AUStarletClub.com, a few of the Aussie's run them, I think.

It's not drivable at the moment buddy. I know how you feel, I lost mine for 9 months too. I'm currently looking at a cheap runabout at the moment, so I can take my time sorting it. I need a reliable car for work and unfortunately, the Starlet just doesn't make the cut. The only bonus is, I can order the parts a bit cheaper and I'm not in a rush to get them. It could be a month or two before it's back on the road, but at least I can still get to wrok and back.

Not sure if you know Daryl from Ards, into Starlets as well. He painted the front end on my car, would highly recommend. If you want I can PM you a number?

Exactly that!

Great minds, eh?

If your going Kawasaki Green, Jawel paints on eBay. My dad has just finished doing his Land Rover that colour. About 500ml to 1L would do it. I'd rub it down with 400 grit wet and dry to start then work up to 1200. Rattle cans, personally I would avoid.

I used 6.5mm hose from ASH and 3 or 4mm vac lines.

Is there a part number mate?

A picture paints a thousand words

I'd get on to TGTT for the technical help buddy, 5ecolin is lurking about there. Will do mate, also you can still but the whole unit new from Toyota, depending on your budget.

8k9 is purplish blue metalic, check my build thread.

I'm looking to fit Gen 7 Celica seats to mine. Will update once I have done this.

This^^ May as well do it for piece of mind.

I'm not sure if he is keeping it for something. Will text him tomorrow about it. You don't need the cams to run ACIS. I think there is a guide on TGTT on setting it up with a RPM switch.

Good work buddy. Really enjoyed having a read though this.

Welcome to UKSO Gavin. Good to see more local members joining.

Good to hear buddy. Will be having a good look into it over the next month, will update with dates etc, once I have the information.

Car Culture is one of the shows I'm going to focus on. Hopefully will get a good trunout for it. That's what I like to hear fellas!
