DJFish Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 HI,I have owned my 1998 Starlet sportif for a week now.Picked it up for £430.Already replaced the front brake pads and discs. And running into a few problems now. Hoping someone can help?I bought it knowing that there was a "slight crunch, every now and again" going into 3rd gear. Now it will never go into 3rd gear and if i force it sounds like its ripping teeth out of the box.Cracked windscreenneeds a new radiator. currently working fine but breaking up!Its lowered on springs, has an induction kit and ss exhaust. Resprayed in "Dodge blue" with a few flaws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
