I've got some 18v lithium snap on gun it's ok prob not worth the £630.00 I paid for it as there must be better for less money.

Belts run the oil pump I belive, false economy not to really, also depends on how spanner friendy you are, would not have fort it would be to hard to be honest just making sure timings timed up correctly afrerwoods

I am a mot tester

Your pretty much ok up to 95 as I don't believe you will find 4efte in the manual then you still get the 3.50 / 1200

Also if the engine number is missing ???!!?! Then you can't test it to the exact match so therefore it drops down to the lower limit.

After this if it's still not a match you still got to get it within it's limits just slightly more margin

Failing that make your car a q plate and get pre 75 emissions test

Could be wrong as there's so many different views and speaking to many testers they all say different.

We're did u buy this from?

As far as I'm aware, if the engine code doesn't match up to a UK engine code than the car doesn't need a full emission test.

That's correct if you can't find the exact engine number (missing) or not a match then it can drop down to a pre cat test.

It depends on if it's excessive but I did mot a Volvo the other week with a cracked manifold blowing badly amd it passed the emissions ok

Correct me if I'm wrong but up to 1992/3 you don't need a cat test but then they started doing cat tests and after 1995 you certainly need one if you can't find a exact engine engine number and it's between 93/95 for a cat test then it drops down to the pre cat test.

After 1995 you should have a cat test? This is how I've understood the mot manual

125 into 4th are you using other management what's your rev limiter due to mine was on standard management and in 3rd on the limiter was 100mph your clocks right?

Yeah I used to have a vti estate lol. Once I've paid snap on this month as getting a new tool box I'll see how much I have left and possibly come for a viewing

I'm very tempted, always liked the mb6's

See this is the thing with these cars they do just tend to let go, well mine did ring lands twice on mine but at the time of sale it was running ok I guess otherwise u would have not of brought it.

You could buy any car and it could just give up, there only 1.3"s that are over 190 bhp with mods so something is gonna give up on them,

What was the oil pressure gauge reading just out of interest

It's a speed triple 1000 buddy I like bikes but having a turbo starlet is much better ;)

Ah buddy it's ok now as just got myself a mini which I'm turboing now.

Portsmouth buddy

Ill look into of renting a trailer as do want one again

Ah a 4.5 hour drive if only you was a bit closer buddy

Were you located

My old mk2 with a genuine toms kit only sold for £1300 on eBay.

No body wants to spend on stuff at the moment.

You got a for sale thread or anything dude

Me to haha is the mk1 a project as such or a full working car?

I'm looking for anything that's needs a engine rebuild ect to a full working car just needs to be a mk2 as I think there the nicest ones

Hey guys I'm after a toyota starlet ep82 mark 2 if anybody has one they wanna sell closer to Portsmouth is better pm me Shaun

Me to its a nice starlet just they always come up for sale when I have no money. Always the way
