Idrees Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hi guys,After a couple of years I am properly back in a Starlet (the demo car spends 99% of the time doing nothing so she doesn't count), so here's the latest one. I picked her up from Greenock in Scotland so it was over a 500 mile round trip but I don't mind travelling for a good deal! She is nothing special but ideal for a daily.Details and spec:1992 Mk 2 in 'Gunmetal' GreyImported in 06197k kmsEngine:Magnecor El-Sports 8mm HT leadsNGK Iridium spark plugsStainless exhaust with Bee*R backboxJPerformance FMICPorted manifold and wastegate, gutted CatHKS Actuator set at 0.8 barRelocated air filterOil catch tankInteriorOEM Recaro seatsAftermarket steering wheelTRD horn buttonTurbo timerBoost gaugeChassis15" Wolfrace alloys withRecent Toyo T1R tyresLowering springsRear ARBRear strut braceRecent work includes:Both outer CV jointsRefurbished rear calipersFront & Rear brake padsSteering rack gaitersA few pictures, excuse the dirt!I've had her a couple of weeks and the first thing to do was an oil service and I replaced the fuel filter while I was at it. (The clocks were showing 197400 just for my records).A couple more pictures of parts that will be fitted over the weekend including rear discs, rear wheel bearings, rear pads, exhaust bushes, rear gearbox mount, spark plugs. I'll probably change the wheels too as I have a couple of spare sets collecting dust.I know the mount is dirty but the bush is in good condition and that's what counts! These parts need to be fitted ASAP as the exhaust and engine mounts are fairly noise, combined with worn rear bearings the car isn't the most enjoyable to drive!Future plans mainly include clocking up the miles and keeping her sweet. Anything more just depends on how long I keep the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ro55ifumi Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Good base Iddy John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thanks guys.Haresign, yes it was for sale on here. It was far from a bargain at the advertised price considering the amount of work it needs though.Panamonium, I'm a massive fan of the ID-Workz Livesports style splitter kit so if I keep the car long enough then that's the direction it will head in.Pigeon, that's a massive coincidence considering how rare the colours are, especially the yellow!

jezza Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Good choice iddy. That exhaust used to be on a gt advance I had few years ago. Centre section is blitz but was in bad shape so was patched up in a few places. I'm sure it will be transformed in no time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 so you bought it lol my mate called up to go view it and was told it had just been sold 20 mins before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Looking forward to seeing this evolve dude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Cheers guys. I had it on a ramp yesterday and did see that the centre section looked quite big, I was told its a Janspeed but wasn't sure on. It's not too loud though and that's the main thing! The backbox was rattley but new bushes had that sorted. A couple of pictures I had these Volks reps fitted too. They're nothing special but they look better than the Wolfraces IMO. The car drives much better now, no knocking from the engine mount and you can't feel the engine rocking when changing gear! No noise from the back end either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
