Am going to order a set of these HEL braided lines but i am stuck between the neon blue and the carbon black, or i could get the green to go with the teins. Decisions decisions ha ha.HEL Braided linesEdit: i have just ordered the carbo-black ones and 2 ltrs of ATE super blue racing brake fluid, so hopefully come next weekend the lot will be on the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlackRocket Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Looks good mate I like the blue - makes it a little different to all the others!What are your plans for it then? Crazy or tame?Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 nice car dude, i was speakin to my mate who has a 4 and he said there quite rare in blue? only thing im not to keen on is the rocker cover colour...tuckaThat is the standard colour for the rocker mate, that white stripe is some sort of heat barrier lol, plans are to give it a good bit of tlc and then get an evo 6 ecu and injectors and get it mapped.

Ryno Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 you should look into an evo 7 ecu mate, they are better for re-mapping (flash)! :surrender: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ah ok mate cheers, i was thinking of the 6 one because my mate has a spare one and 550cc injectors lying around that he is not using. Are the 7 ones just plug and play do you know or will i have to get some sort of wiring harness? i have been down to mitsubish today to see if there are any recall notifications on my car, should find out next week.

jon5698 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well my HEL braided lines arrived today and i am very impressed by them, lets hope they perform as well as they look. Also managed to get the speedo converter/delimiter fitted, and the rest of the alarm done, just need to run the 2 wires for the central locking motor and get my mate to wire it up.

Nanglebadger Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 nice one dude!!! all the best fittin them!!!let us know wot u think of them when they are bedded in!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well i have finally had time to fit the new brakes and found out why they were shit, the pistons were seazed in both calipers and the whole sliding assembly was siezed on the passanger side. Stripped them down and got rid of all the rust and greased all the pistons. It looks to have had possibly cusco or project mu pads on it all of which have loads of meat on them so they will do for spares. BeforeAfterBraided lines Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dominodon Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Looks very nice ;) May i ask what mpg do you get out off the car Im interested in a evo aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Looks very nice May i ask what mpg do you get out off the car Im interested in a evo aswellThanks mate, i have no idea what the mpg is as it is only a weekend toy. To be honest if you are worried about fuel don't buy one lol i still put about £40 a week in and it is only used on weekends.Just bought some Royal Purple for when i do the oil change.

jon5698 Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well it has been a busy day today dropped the oil and put in my royal purple, it was quiet funny when i started topping up the oil and realised that it was actually purple oil and not just the name lol. Fitted a cheap boost gauge until i can afford some defi's haven't tried it yet as i have been washing the car for tomorrow as it is going on the japnortheast stand at round 1 of JDM allstars.

Sparky Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have some Defi's for sale mate In fact the sandwich plate and water temp sensor is probably suited to Evo's etc as they are too big for the Starlet.Let me know if your interested Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This left a big hole around the timer so the other night me and my dad made a plate to cover the hole using some mdf and plywood, Quiet happy with the result and it looks 100% better than the cardboard i was using to hold it in place lol. I also fitted a cheap boost gauge just to find out what pressure it was running, and my Harmon Kardon ipod thing. My Tial bov also arrived from Reyland the other week but i am still waiting for the weld on adapter for it. Will update once i get the hard pipes made up. The rest of the engine parts like rocker cover etc will be powder coated the same colour as the bov. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
