nic1.3 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 thanx mate my goal is to make a serious starlet from the most unlikely model.... nuthing but the best for my motor.for now she will remain a bit of a sleeper without 2much body work.yeah the lightweight pulleys do make a difference it really does rev alot more freely with them and she pulls a tiny bit harder aswell id say, there is no issues with the pulleys that i have fitted, but the water pump is the press fitted version on mine and i bought the bolt on one and alternater pulley are is a different shaft size on my own alternatorpm replied to Nic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nic1.3 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 That looks fresh!So nice n shiney Like the black toyota on there to looks gangsta matey Thanx jag, its taken alot of polishing to get toyota's 3E5 red shiney, Im finding it easy to keep the shine nowadays though with the help of AutoGlym's Aqua Wax....tastey stuff.I decided to do the toyota black in order to keep things different, the whole polished bare metal Toyota is too common for my liking, but I do think that it is still nice.

nic1.3 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Well its been a while since I updated the tread, mainly due to the fact that I havnt done much to it lately.Here's what I've;Crystal headlightsI painted the backs of the lamps matt black to add a little more detail to them. it turned out sweet and I will post up pic's of it soon.For now here's sum photos of the change over.You can clearly see the difference in the old and crystall headlights now, Also the crystall headlights seem to make the HID's work better, as in that the light is now projected much more evenly. One more for ya.Soild Steel Shifter BushingsJust made these out of some 16mm diameter x1mm thick steel tube.Results...The gear change is more precise and feel abit sweeter, so for 4.50 euro how far wrong can you goThats all for nowNic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 really love the clear headlights, wish they made em for the V like thatwhy did u mod that TRD mount was it to support exhuast? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nic1.3 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 really love the clear headlights, wish they made em for the V like thatwhy did u mod that TRD mount was it to support exhuast?Yeah Basically, I had to weld on the hangers for exhaust on to the lower engine because that is where the exhaust is supported on the N/A, After that its a straight run support wise to the backbox.I guess that the turbo exhaust is supported in other locations.
