Asad Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 As far as i know all starlets rev 3k at 60mph.....mines at 3k or just slightly bellow thatFuel consumption wise, im not sure what made the most difference its had......a new lambda sensor (amount of fuel thrown into the engine will have changed)timing was reset due to a prior DIY timing advance that messed things up a while after it was done (started to ping like fcuk and drink like theres no tomorrow)new clutch (so engines not reving faster due to worn clutch)back box was replaced due to the old one blowingAs for the earthing kit, its still not finished need to attach the main earth and add a few more here and there the battery terminal i got is gash (looks nice tho) it doesn`t fit the battery terminal correctly even after its been fully tightened (starlet battery terminals are baby sized compared to other cars) so its not fully functioning yet take form that what you will bro, its had alot of TLC not sure which made the most difference A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Finally!! got the hang of imageshack stupid photobucket Some EBC ultimax pads for the frontPillar pod and two gauges, its not fitted yet just a mock up....really not happy about the holes at the top the seller didnt show them in the pictures even after i asked for detailed pictures GLS dial surround courtesy of Craig Searched an age to find this little fella, remember my old man having one in his car...brought back memories (many thanks to the kind woman at turtlewax)Got me one of these was looking for one but couldnt decide which to get, saw the link on jasons buggy thread FTE manifold (a big thankyou to idrees) thought i`d practice using the new rotary thingy majig. Sanded most of the casting marks off, was going to port the shit out of it using a gasket as a template but i decided against this due to the fact the head will need porting out to get any benefits from this so theres no point. I will be sorting the throttle body intake part but thats for a later update started to port it here but left it as it is, wont affect it.....i hope?Spare mount to kick start my DIY soild mounts projectFlare holder, not got the flare yet but the torch looks cosy inside itAfter selling my beasty sub to craig, i realised i couldnt live without one.....luckily scutch was selling this sub box he had made for his white V (got the wiring kit off ebay)To compliment the compact-ness of the sub, i wanted a baby amp not some chav thing weighing the car down. After doing alot research i settled for this beauty. Now all thats left is looking for a 8" subwoofer lolHaving sold my old 4" speakers to a friend, i was on the look out for something to replace them so went for these optional extra pioneer carrozzeria speaker/tweeter combo with the wiring to matchOccasionally, one of the front sidelights wouldnt turn on (had to get out and give the headlight a whack to get it to work) these were got as replacements. Can really see the difference although when i held each of them in my hand they looked the same. Looking to order some more for the number plate.chart showing the light gradientHand held comparison (cant remember which is which lol)where the obvious difference can be seenLights alot more of the wall at the bottom compared to stockAnd thats it for now, not fitted anything as of yet wanted to take my time and do it instead of rushing thru just for the sake of it. Got a few other things lined up but i need some bits before i can move further.Hope you all like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the-dalester Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 all sounds good make, that a pretty big update aswell lol, im thinking of getting some of them sidelight bulbs for the numberplate, was looking at them last night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Looking good! If you want the other two engine mounts (the lower gearbox and top engine one) pop down and you can help your self to some here. And if you want another inlet, feel free to come and grab one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anup67 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Yh ive got the same LED's in my sidelights and numberplate lights aswell, when i get my car back from the garage ill take pics of it if you want the number plate ones look like in the darkand look at these .... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-194-501-25-SMD-Wh...=item27ab41328bDid you ever find decent headlight bulbs after?Subs are the best... well mines a bit more powerful, and 12" L7 and a 700 rms Amp how are you going to mount the tweeters?Anup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thanks bro, I'll let you knowthe sidelights make a nice difference, I was scared of them melting being so close to the headlight but they seem ok. Nope haven't got headlight bulbs yet, the ones I want are expensive n I haven't been to have a look around for them (not really fussed tbh, i think it still has the original headlight bulbs in) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anup67 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 ohh my god!! just get HID's! and if your worried about melting.... http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/ultimate-501t10...ite-p-1684.html Thanks bro, I'll let you knowthe sidelights make a nice difference, I was scared of them melting being so close to the headlight but they seem ok.

Bluebear Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Looking good dude! Keep it up! Were you not thinking of selling it quite a bit ago? Isn't that why you got rid of the TTE spoiler? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Anup!!!! I don't want to put them on because there illegal...simple as. So many idiots have them on and I get blinded by them time n time again. So it's not something I want to put on my own car unless it's installed properly (projectors etc etc)I lost abit of heart in him, seeing everyone insuring glanzas/gts for around the same price as my n/a was a real downer......but I'm back and raring to go with shed loads of ideas and projects.

Amjad Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Liking the updates! I really want an fte mani now! Using one of those and a Glanza TB, would I be able to control the idle rpm do you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_N Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Amjad i would have thought you would still be able to control the idle with the fte TB and manifold Asad if your not happy with the piller pod i can swap with a double piller pod if you want Quote Link to post Share on other sites
