Yeah lots of work to do, over winter aswell... Had a feeling that the engine has been out / replaced before because there are dents all over the bulkhead where it has been swinging about on a crane hitting everything lol. Shower of fucking retards. Guys at work had a good laugh at the mount haha. ABS will be coming out, just need to figure out what parts i need off non ABS GT.

So a wee bit of progress from the last couple of days. Engine out Split from the box Pikey dodged mount lol Sump off Clogged up Fucked crank oil seal and oil pump All disassembled Bearings scored Rings letting oil past Engine thats going in, out of a 98 spec V with 72k, hope it dosent cause too much problems with sensors etc. Clutch thats going in, bit of wear but should be ok for a while atleast The old block and crank will be getting sent to a machine shop at some point for inspection, then i'll start a forged parts stockpile, eventually. The gear

Thats exactly what i plan to do, when i can be bothered. And just run a wire to the switch that turns on the front fogs.

Just seen this, very rare optional stickers aswell. />http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/silver-toyota-starlet-glanza-s/1002474800

I've got one of the above on mine, looks total shit. Either wire it into the light cluster or mould a separate fog light unit into the bumper.

Yeah, thought as much. I like that red mica colour, does look very similar to the MCM GT. Looking at that one above ^ it has mk3 fogs.

Was just thinking the same ^ was his GT defo and original colour ?

Just found it ^ Top stuff.

Will yous be doing the colour guides again ? And include N/A ones too.

Youd need to be 'special' to pay that kinda cash haha. Nah seriously looks like a mint bit of kit.

Yeah i ment how much as in thats quite a lot for a gearbox haha

Defeats the purpose of ebay ^ That box must be the tits but HOW MUCH !!

The silver mk3 colour is called 199, lovely colour. I'd put a glow panel on mine if i could find mk1 rear lights to suit, but chances are slim.

Yeah i'll defo get it sorted before it goes back in, some pikey shit has gone down on this car haha. There is a good inch of washers between the box and mount !! That is the right mount for a GT yeah ?

Looks really nice mate, what are the wheels ? I'm just down the road from you in stirling. This is what i like to see, more and more starlets in this area.

Bumping this up, awesome thread. No 5zigen wheels in there though, anyone run them on a starlet ?

Yeah i thought as much, major fucking bodge. One of many unfortunately. I'll add new bolts to the long list off essential parts then haha. So the way it is just now the box / engine would be sitting further towards the front of the car than usual yeah ?

This is mine

In particular the bolts that go through the bracket that is attached to the gearbox. Mine i have shit loads of washers for whatever reason. Anyone know if it will be ok to run like this or what i should do. Cheers

Yes that would be about right, but at 1.6mm the tyre is 100% worn, 2mm 94% worn etc You wouldn't get an advisory in an MOT for 3-4mm tread. It will be totally fine to put these on for a while, but any lower and stopping distances and water dispersion is compromised.

Yes mate, you are allowed to go down to 1.6mm across 75% of the centre width of the tyre. With wear on both edges aslong as no cords or metal showing.

Ask james @ cj performance on here if they have any OMP reps left over from the group buy. They wheels are the tits.

Nice system there dude, i've got a 5zigen too, the end tip looks different to yours though. Report back on sound aswell mate.

Looks awesome, is that the zisco intercooler that requires ABS and PAS to be removed for the pipework route ?
