  1. this is my only concern as well, but I'm fairly sure that because my front end has the livesports wings and lip and looks a little extra aggressive it should hopefully work. This is also why I went for the varis spoiler, not the JAM one cause I reckon the varis one is a little less obnoxious. but to be honest, I won't know until I see it in person either! my thinking was just that with the duck spoiler, the tte spoiler looks way too small and makes the duck spoiler look v out of place. Heres hoping it works, worst case I'll have a spare varis spoiler for a future glanza rep/real
  2. I keep seeing a green starlet in Lisburn, like everytime I'm out in the evening. Thought it was standard, dunno if it's just been lowered or I'm unobservant but seen it tonight and was deffo down a few mm's. On R plates as well. Seen you like 4/5 times in the past few weeks.
  3. Yup Toyota like to make life difficult. Haha
  4. seems to be loads of weird differences between 97/98 or maybe between sportif and sr. my boyfriend and I keep trying to do stuff to my SR thinking it'll be the same as his 97 sportif and it's not. Like just today we found out the pipe to the rear window washer fluid is slightly different, according to him. Not sure how as I've never seen it in a sportif but there's been a few things we've been surprised have been just a little different. love this colour, good thing you found out about the springs I guess!
  5. Thanks everyone! I know I always said I'm gonna keep my tte spoiler but not too keen on how it looks with a duck spoiler and glanza bumper. Just think it's too small or something. My boyfriend is going to killllll me hahaha
  6. Southern reg, monaghan I think. Drove past me a few times in the car park and then around town passed me once or twice. Sunday night. Think I've seen it before up here but a few months ago anyway.
  7. I bought mine for 1100 but only had 60k miles. So I'd say around 1000.
  8. thanks pal yeah I'd 100% recommend, especially the wax and polish.
  9. glad to hear you're getting a glanza! welcome to the club You always helped me out a lot on ycuk so if you need anything I can help with just ask
  10. im so happy with how she's driving now. Had her out tonight driving around with a friend for like 4 hours. Not constant driving obviously, still keeping an eye on her. But no rev issues. And I hadn't had her turned over in a few days and on she pops this morning no problem. A little gurgle and revs dropped but then back up and no issues after. No more smoke, blue or white, unless I go well towards 5-6k rpm which is very rarely. If this is all from changing one little sensor I cannot wait to see what happens with a whole new engine, and then a turbo!
  11. thanks So happy with the products. Anyone looking a new detailing regime I 100% recommend 50cal detailing. They're local to me and customer service was unreal. Plus the products themselves are the best I've ever used. Never seen my car bead so well with only one quick coat of polish and wax. And no they didn't pay me to pump them up I'm just massively chuffed with their products! Genuinely never seen a white car get so shiny.
  12. Shit news man. I know how it feels when everything seems to go bad at once.
  13. I think I agree with you. Since switching the sensors she has been running unbelievably. I loved her when she was running like a pig and now I can't even describe how fun she is to drive. Can't believe such a small sensor was causing so many problems. Also we just found out my starlet has a cabin air filter, which has never been changed from new. So we need a new one haha. Took it out and cleaned it and my vents are so much better already. Genuinely feel like I've got a new car, and we haven't even put the new engine in yet haha
  14. I'm rebuilding a spare engine with GT turbo rods and a turbo rocker cover so I can run it as n/a til I turn 21 in August then I'm going to strap a ct9 on
  15. Thanks! Head, block and sump all cleaned up now making good progress now.
  16. I have to admit it was a nice day, we did it all out the back so I got nicely burnt ha. Yeah we've either fixed or broken it more cause a shit load of smoke is coming out the exhaust and it's popping like a bitch so it either was fucked uP and we've fixed it so now she's shitting out all her crap or we've fucked her up more. Rev issue is fixed though and we're getting some mad pops and bangs out of her which sound unreal! https://vimeo.com/124635175
  17. Figured out the Rev problem!! For some reason we can't work out, there was a corolla vacuum sensor in her. We were changing out a few sensors and noticed the part number was wrong compared to the starlet one we were gonna change it to. So we changed it and low and behold my revs are fixed. Sitting perfect at 1000 where just before they were sitting at like 250 on idle and doing the whole going up and down thing. All fixed now. Thank god.
  18. Just got more bizarre. Checked it again, cold, flat surface. I haven't added anymore. It was over full. Clearly she hides oil somewhere and waits til I'm about to top it up to magically refill herself. Anyway, got the new engine stripped. Good thing we rebuilt instead of just slamming it in as the piston ring was all jammed up, which is what we're assuming is making my current engine use oil too. So it's all ready to be built once the gasket kit arrives with some GT turbo rods and the same Pistons we took out but just with new rings. Everything looks good. Crank was turning very freely,
  19. Found out what happened the other mornjng! She decided to become a fiat panda for the day. Did a bit of investigation and recreated exactly what she did by getting her to run off two cylinders. So somehow yeah she was off not just one but two cylinders... Hasn't happened since. Also big issue that's really confused me and Joel. Oil was at e line, I was trying to fill it and it just wouldn't move up the dipstick. Almost 2L Later it was half full. There's no way half a tank is 2L. But there's no leaks and it's still at half, two days later. So so confused. But today is the day we strip
  20. So just ordered a shit load of 50 cal detailing products. Can't wait to try it out. Had a sniff at some of their wax at a show here few weeks ago and it smells fantastic. She might be fucked inside but on the outside I still wanna make her shine
  21. ohh my god!! I got genuinely excited when I saw the title hahaha I can't wait for this. Have you decided on colour yet??
