montanajr Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 £10-16...+ another £5-10 for antifreeze its about a 45min-1hr job tops £17 for 5L of of Toyotas Red coolant - best stuff to use really. Quick job really; don't use the bleed nipple just take the bottom rad hose off as its much quicker! Drain all the coolant, change the thermostat, fill up slowly with new coolant. Let it run for awhile with the rad cap off and bleed it. Done Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 lol its bit more to it than that Go on ebay and look for Starlet speedo converters, goes between the end of the speedo cable and the gearbox, then you can put the little sticker on that should come with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 hmm just my dad had a import bike from jap and he said he just put a sticker over the top to convert it in to mph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm not sure if doing it the other way removes the 112mph speed limit? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 theres no speedo con on ebay like any were else who will sell them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Try the traders section on here dudeAnd how the hell does a sticker convert the clocks to read in miles an hour instead of kms?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 dinna mate tbh lolwhen u get your gt does it read in km or has it had a speedo con? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Its still in km's not a big deal though30 mph = 50kph60 mph = 100kphThats really all you need to know and they are rough estimates by the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 180 KPH is somewhere around 110 MPH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 might get a set of the reverse glow indiglo dials ? will i have to get the cable speedo convertor as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Nice GT mate, looks mint, just as a thought, maybe the heater isnt getting warm because its been bypassed due to a leaky heater matrix in the past? just an idea mate, if the thermostat wasnt working the engine would be gettin alot hotter than normal temp, just an idea mate, check the pipes, cheers starlybruiser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
