  1. Looking fresh! Wish my misses liked starlets as much as me, she wants a bloody golf! What paint did you use on the bodywork mate? My gts the same colour and needs some tlc
  2. The roof will be going gloss black, it's only wrap can always pull it off, and I do want it lower, but I've gotta sort out wheels first, and I like the raisers they're definitley staying See it had yellow in it when I bought it and they were terrible! I'll have a better look into it when the pads get low aha, but yeah I don't like yellows at all
  3. Green stuff pads with ebc drilled and grooved discs, cooked them in my n/a before, wondering whether it's the fluid or the actual brakes now though Spent a few hours cleaning it today, nice coat of wax on it now, and got bird shit on as soon as I drove it gah! Brasso'd the exhaust properly cleaned the wheels, you can't really see how shiny it is in the pics but it does look a lot better, still need to get my mate to detail it mind And I think it'll be getting the roof wrapped gloss black soon What do you guys reckon?
  4. Not much has happened recently, been saving up to pay the car off aha! Since removing the hi lo boost button i have been having alot of trouble with creep and therefore fuel, i have bought an adjustable actuator to hopefully remedy this, will get fitted along with my half rad when the aircon gets pulled out of it. What i have got done, found the boss kit out of my n/a so I put my steering wheel straight in A And finally got rid of that disgusting 4 inch japspeed fart cannon, and replaced it with the bike can ive had for about a year aha! Looks so much better, sounds s
  5. Yes george do it! How long till its done charlie? heard about your nightmare!
  6. Yeah but should do one without mk cruise aha!
  7. Good to see you guys briefly, we'll have to have a proper starlet meet on a Saturday or something soon!
  8. If you guys have iPhones or what's app we need a group text!
  9. Scrap that again I will be there for a bit aha! What time you guys getting there for?
  10. Sorry lads scrap that won't be there tonight, apologies!
  11. I will be in mk tonight lads, na peaches it's the weekly mk meet we're going to, everyone's welcome!
  12. Needs hitting with a lowering stick...
  13. Yeah maybe, can't guarantee it though aha
  14. Now usually i just drill a hole in the indicator and relocate the actual sidelight bulb into it, but i dont want to do that with my gt aha, what kits do other people use? Only seen one kit on ebay and its a bit of a rip off for two bulbs, two holders and some wire!
  15. That sounds expensive aha, is that the pre load gear on the camshafts? I know you need the feeler gauges and that, i was a mechanic a few years ago, the confidence to pull stuff apart has faded a bit these days, not so much suspesion and bits like that, but im a bit nervous about making or breaking my engine nowadays aha! Ill have to see if anyone i know is up for doing it lol Also, where would i get a replacement cam cover bolt/nut, ive had a 3sgte in bits before but i cant quite remember how theyre held in?
  16. Ah yeah I did unplug that one, made no difference
  17. That's the one on the throttle body? I do think itll just be the rappers needing adjusting, I've never done tappers before though
  18. So today i painted a few bits in the engine bay, finally adjusted the throttle cable and bypassed the hi-lo boost button and got rid of the metal pipes All the blue crap is gone, just gotta decide between black hoses and purple ones. And if you didnt see my other thread, someone scraped up my bumper and wing yesterday How it looked after a t cut, added to the ever growing list of things to get painted that i cant afford...
  19. Noticed today that the engine in my gt has a tick/tap that gets faster with revs etc. Now i thought this was just noisy injectors because i only ever heard it on idle, but today whilst driving past a load of parked cars i noticed its always there.So now im wondering if its the tappets, how easy are they to do/adjust? That and i found a snapped cam cover bolt today when i pulled my intercooler off, so ill have to try sort that out i spose while its off! Any help is apreciated, unless someone wants to do it for me and ill pay them ahaha
  20. Check out my thread dude, I reckon it looks much better with just the foglights yellow
  21. After a t cut Better, but still so pissed off! Needs the bumper wing and the little indicator surround prepped and painted My problem was i didnt see the damage till i did the whole, look back at your car as you walk away when i got to work. Luckily my girlfriends back where it was parked later so shes gonna find out for me Yeah its really deep in the wing Its such a fucker man! Thats why i park where no one parks yet some cunt still managed to hit my car! Yeah most of the white came off luckily, still looks shit though, gutted because the bumpers in real good n
