Liam_D Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Dude sounds exactly like my old n/a spent days fixing it and not actually modifying it. Was fucking annoying but had to be done as i loved that car and liked to keep it mint. said it before and i'll say it again. Starlets are cunts mate! Its just something we have to put up with.

Joshua.J Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Unlucky mate, my clio is the same french piece of crap! but thankfully I've fixed everything ready to sell it.Are starlets normally unreliable, looking at getting one but last thing i want is a money pit.

ro55ifumi Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 DeanSorry to hear your issues mate, on the tyre an ball joints could it be the offset you are running causing the issues??take your time mate as its on lush starlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 cheers for the nice comments, tbh I think the 0 offset wheels are not helping! but I refuse to change them ill be getting more mental wheels over the years to come. ill just have to stock up on wheel bearings and bottom ball joints lolbit of good news but very strange the engine tapping from yesterday.... ive found the problem basically ive got no cam belt cover on at the top because my clear 1 broke, well bad idea as I managed to spot what only I can describe as a tiny bit of a paper clip or something similar has stuck into my cam belt so when its spinning this little bit of metal was tapping on my tensioners lol. took it out now its finenew problem to replace the old lol clutch release bearing is being loud and the car is over boosting like mad sounds like anti lag. so next plan is sort this by winding my hks actuator down then increasing the boost with my mbc because the mbc wont lower the boost when the actuator is set higher ????? stupid car Dean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Group buy on wheel bearings and ball joints? To be honest mate its to be expected with modified cars, cant see my build going exactly how I want it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
