Got the gearbox mount changed to the poly one off my old n/a Surprised at the difference its made, now not sure about doing the other two aha! Where would I get them from? Yeah its on my long arse list of things to do aha, important thing was the engine oil

Also, the gear change is really choppy and not very smooth, is this just a starlet thing because my n/a was the same but worse, I just lived with it, I remember reading somewhere its a bush or rubber or something that needs changing on the top of the gearbox?

Would you sell the decat separate?

Well i fitted my headunit into this the other day and found some real lovely wiring! Power for the boost gauge? No problem! They were just sitting in there, fell out so easily. Remote for the sub was literally just stuffed into a plug on the stereo loom. And i thought i was ghetto for twisting and taping till i can crimp em! Amazed it worked at all! But anyway, went to kwikfit to do the oil and filter, that hadnt been done in a while! filter was well stuck on and the oil was proper black! Nice and clean 5w40 Castrol edge in there now, with a new filter and magnetic sump plug,

Text you Tris

Bump!

My view till 4 o'clock Man what do you do Jordan? Looks lovely!

So as it was finally a sunny day when i finished work i got some little bits done, firstly washed it as it was filthy from driving in the rain. Ive done over a thousand km's since i picked it up! But anyway, firstly I sorted out these horrible things Much better! Then i moved onto the calipers Fronts done And did the exhaust again while the back was in the air Rears done And some randoms Service and maybe new rad next, going to fit the coilys off my n/a to see if theyre alright. i think the fronts maybe gone though tbh...

I had one the other day, changed the pads and discs on the gt and the inside pad on one of fronts wouldn't sit properly, took the other side back apart to compare, turns out the disc wasn't flat against the hub, mates laughed at me for a few minutes for that aha

Bump

So i did get the brakes done today, and im glad i did aha. Put some brand new EBC Ultimax pads in the rear and I had EBC drilled and grooved discs with Greenstuff pads off of my old n/a so they went on the front, the rear calipers were pretty seized and the front sliders were very seized, free'd all that and copper greased everything, brakes feel amazing now! Cheers fella I hate tints darker tbh, i just like it subtle, i was gonna paint them but my mate did it without me even asking Cheers bro! I got excited thinking i got spotted then saw North Wale

So today me and the misses took a drive down to Harlow to see my good mate at Essex Tints to get the starbo done. I went for 35% on the rear three and 50% on the front two, nice light tints just to take the edge off the clear glass Looks so much better, and i feel alot more comfy and less exposed in it aha! He does a real good job so if any of you essex lot needs tints or wrapping tell him i sent you and youll get a good price. He also wrapped these as with the tinted windows they looked so bad! Hopefully doing the brakes tomorrow

Cheers bro! I ended up ordering Castrol Edge 5w40 fully synthetic, can always add some thicker oil later aha Its got yellow stuff pads in it, but the discs have seen better days and they dont sound too healthy, always liked the greenstuff on my n/a so i should enjoy it on this too,

This sold?

What oil do people recommend for these engines? I was gonna go castrol 10w40 part synth, but it seems apparently 5w40 will be better? Always cautious about running thinner oil! And whats the difference between Maganatec, Gtx and Edge? Got a magnetic sump plug and new filter already as i never bothered fitting them to my n/a lol Also just received ebc ultimax rear pads and i have ebc discs and greenstuff pads to go on the front, cant wait for the brakes to not feel so terrible! Never realised how tiny the rear pads are on these Cheers dude! Cheers man, probably wont

As above, Front Coilovers, (not d2's) Air filter relocation, for ct9 Decat for ct9 also Poly lower and driver side engine mounts

Cheers guys! If i ever have to buy a daily itll be an n/a starlet as they are brilliant! Couple of pictures after a wash yesterday And its getting tinted tomorrow!

This is it dude Threads in the ep91 section somehwere Edit, found it http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/57927-dans-stancelet-the-end-is-now/ Im just planning to drive and enjoy the boost right now!

Sorry dudes didnt mean to seem arsey aha! cheers for the kind comments and not being close minded loool But seriously i dont want it to handle like my white one, i could only hoon in that on perfectky smooth roads otherwise it tried to kill me! Im toying with the idea of 16s so i can get tyre and arch to look good without it being too close to the floor, but everyone seems to say 15s are the right choice driving feel wise Never running 13 inch wheels again tris, was fun while it lasted, theyd never put any power down either ahaha

So, todays progress, Realised i left all my starlet parts in my mates garage, which i dont have a key for, while hes away for a week so mostly just cleaned today. Fogs yellow Engine had a right whistle coming out of the breather filter, when i took it off to have a look it just fell apart, luckily had a spare one in the shed so slapped that on Brasso'd the exhaust, wana change this soon as i reallly dont like this back box Even had trhe misses helping out... Engine bay after a quick whipe over with some demon shine Interior after a good hoov

....Just playin! But it will get alot lower. So I went to Norwich yesterday to pick this up Already put my gearknob, wheel nuts and a few bulbs in it, off work today so i should get some bits done

i own a rover aha! Will do dave

I dont know when ill get there, but ill see you guys there

I havent got a starlet but be good to see some, rovers welcome? ;) And i'd say to get there early just for good parking spaces aha

Inlet sold, Wheel nuts added
