Well lads,was driving along a while ago and when i slowed down to pull into the shop,my battery light and the cat sensor light came up simultaneously.

What does this mean?

she seems to be driving okay but when the car is under 3000rpm they come on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks lads!

big changes coming soon

well lads,a photographer friend of mine came down from limerick last week and took some pics of my yolk which turned out well so said i'd post them up!

weighs 4.1kg

"Cusco Super Light Chromoly Fly Wheel for the EP82 or EP91 Starlet with the 4E-FTE.

The weight of the flywheel is 4.1kg, 215mm in diameter and has 21 teeth. This is a great upgrade for your Starlet's stock flywheel. This is what is said about the Cusco Super

Light Chromoly Fly Wheel; " Not just light, the cutting edge design enables even rotation even from the low revs. The lightness enables swift revs up or down. The chromoly is precision machined by CNC machinery. The revs go up and down swiftly for quicker gear shifts. Faster times gained on 0-60m Acceleration runs and mid range gear

acceleration."

Well lads,have a Cusco Super Light Chromoly Fly Wheel on my GT at the moment which i'm going to be getting rid of when i build my 5e but i'm just wondering what these go for in the current economic climate?

Any input would be appreciated.

well back in the day when first imported she was grey!!

Any pics?

Will be going gunmetal grey

Thanks lads.

Will be looking better with the livesport kit and a respray in the new colour i have picked!

the wheels will suit alot more then.

Also have a set of genuine rear lights and glow panel so the tinted ones will be taken off soon

Well lads,was talking to Idrees and he told me to get up a build thread so here it goes!

most of it is being copied from other sites.

well this is the car as i bought it on the 13th or April 2010!

the car was filthy,faded as fuck and had horrid wheels on it!

the interior was filthy too.

so once i got it home,the cleaning began and i fitted a few bits!

and once i had got myself some tax i got the car down to the Unit and cleaned it from head to toe inside and out!!

and heres an engine bay picture!!

she needs some cleaning done to the engine bay alright but that will all be done in good time.

i fitted new wheels and Evo 7 recaro's recently too so heres how shes sitting at the mo!

coilovers coming Sunday so i should have her sitting right soon.

this is how she was sitting in October after fitting the coilovers which still needed adjusting

my ACT 6 puc unsprung clutch then decided to go in November so i replaced it with a CAP 4 puc sprung clutch and fitted a FMIC at the same time in January 2011

then when gedis got home,he took over and we took off the manifold and turbo.

he then set about rotating the turbo to suit the new piping and made up a custom mounting bracket for the actuator.

while he was doing that,he also ported the manifold and gave me a new gasket for between the manifold and turbo.

so this is how things were looking after that!

then Gedis mounted the intercooler and we packed up for the night!

the good news is,even after fitting the intercooler core,we were able to put back on the bumper with no trouble.

I then left the boost at .7 bar and due to fitting the new gasket between the gasket and turbo,it was now hitting full boost at 2500rpm which i was delighted with because all along it wasn't hitting full boost til 4500rpm!!

Due to school exams i hadn't done a whole lot to the car so i mainly gave the car a good cleaning over the months and also fitted DC5 Recaro's and an OMP steering wheel

In June i then decided to change the exhaust for a powerflow exhaust which was 2" straight through until the 3" back box

I was delighted as it sat alot better than the HKS Super Drager which had been on it previously and it had a more aggressive rumble to it,especially on boost.

heres a video of how she sounds.

Since then i haven't done a whole lot to the car but i fitted an Apexi RSM,a civic half rad and I've changed the wheels for a set of BBS RS because i'm changing the entire look of the car very soon!

I've ordered a full Livesport kit for it and i also got my hands on a set of original rear lights including the glow panel.

Will also be respraying the car in a few weeks all going according to plan.

Here is how its looking at present and the next update will be a big one!
