Idrees Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 It won't be featured straight away, maybe in the March or April issue. I think it's time to take it back off the road now, as it's more of a headache to drive than it is a pleasure.The following needs doing:Replace alternatorReplace PS pump, bracket & fit another new beltFit new OSF wheel bearingFix oil leakFind out why the car smells of fuel inside so badlyLSD gearbox (if I can source one at a good price)Once all that lot is sorted, the chances are she will be officially up for sale.

Glanza Mac Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 how could you sell such a beautiful car ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 The car is literally complete now so it's the end of an era. Who knows though, maybe nobody will buy it so I may end up keeping it! It will be advertised for sale though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 hmm yeahh i can see why now i guess, i still couldn't do it tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Finally finished I see ;)Looks fresh as hell man, You'll have to make another trek down south to show it off sometime x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Cheers Jag!It's been a while since I updated this!Firstly, here is a sneak preview in Japanese Performance. She has a full feature (5 page), get the magazine bought to read the article! This weekend it was time to fire the car up and get some work done, the last time I drove it was around 4 weeks ago. I should have washed her before parking her up as it took me ages to wash all the muck due to it being stuck on!Here she is looking filthy..I had the car on stands to fit the original engine splash guards, sort a small oil leak, and I checked all the nuts and bolts were tight while I was under there.It's common to strip the rear seats out of your Starlet as a first modification, well it worked the other way for me - it's one of the last mods! They weren't needed as I don't allow anyone to sit in the back anyway.Before:After:The next day I gave her a thorough wash, and she was even lucky enough to have a coat of wax! I will be doing this more frequently now though. The weather was beautiful on Sunday so after cleaning her, I went for a nice spirited drive up in the country side. This was just to get to know the car again, the last time I drove it properly was at Japfest 2 and even then I had overheating issues. i had the most fun I've ever had with her this weekend! Here's some picture taken when the sun was out, I've tried to show the pearl colour but the camera doesn't do it justice.Then on Monday Andrew Biddle from Banzai magazine turned up bright and early for a photoshoot. After some wondering around we settled for a location we found locally and he got started while I walked around kicking stones and feeling cold! Here's some pictures I took while we were there.

Idrees Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks guys I have finally fitted my rear Whiteline ARB! It was only waiting around a year to be fitted All being well, the next step is a fresh forged 5E build. I can draw up some plans once I have sold the current 5E-FHTE, it's a waiting game right now but there's no rush. It's a shame I didn't get the chance to have it mapped as I really wanted to see what power it made at 1 bar, ah well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
