rmsnoel Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks lads, I run tte springs for years and they were great, got them from bilal the king of shine years back. Dont want to lower this yet just wanted to see it lower, food for thought.Tein do different rates one of which doesnt even lower the car so buyers beware check partnumbers. It came with new shocks so Ill maybe get fresh springs from a low mile wagon someday cause I cross four speedbumps and a miniroundabout on the way to work each day and I hate slowing down. Rarb and castor kit to be fitted soon. Quote
rmsnoel Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Hitting 39mpg on B road driving, happy days hope to gain abit more if I can carry speed through corners.Not bad for an auto Quote
Starlet SR Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Looking good , looks very well lowered slightly Would look great Quote
rmsnoel Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Wish Id kept the paseo dash and handbrake surround, they would have looked great inthe starlet. Any N.I. locals breakin a paseo Quote
Galliano Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I have a dashboard sitting in my shed buddy, unfortunately I am in England though. Quote
rmsnoel Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Diggin in the shed today and found toyota oem front mudflaps. Fit perfectly but Im wondering if they are off my old SR or the paseos. Anyone else have factory moulded front mudflaps same as the rears. Quote
Nanglebadger Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 i had them on mine dude, and i think the sisters car too. they are from the starlets yeah. Phil. Quote
rmsnoel Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) 15x7 et37 thanks gumtree. Keep them black or go back to silver or onward to matt gold? Edited March 23, 2013 by rmsnoel Quote
Pandamonium Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Those look nice man, Matt gold would be nice on there Quote
rmsnoel Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 Re-polished ready.to trial fit the superturisimo's Quote
rmsnoel Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 Ive set my rarb to 'man' the hardest setting and I need to replace my.front.bushes as the oversteer is dramatic Quote
rmsnoel Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Fitted the gt seats today. Love them though theyll be hard to keep cleanRear centre bracket needs modified to be crash safe but other than that they just sat in. Driverside hole in this gt seathinge needs drilled out to 10_12mm to allow to fit in the ep91 Edited June 17, 2013 by rmsnoel Quote
rmsnoel Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) This is the same hinge from the rear. You can see the hole is away off but I welded in abit of plate to extend it over to my ep91 hole. Using the ep82 hinge is the easiest option when fitting gtturbo seats and sits better too.I also reused my ep91 seatbelt buckles and bolted it through the rear inner seatmount. I had to remove the handbrake surround although if u straighten them out abit they will fit.Seats here with the glanza dark grey plastics Edited June 28, 2013 by rmsnoel Quote
rmsnoel Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Unfortunetly this 50mm throttlebody doesnt suit my automatic so its goin up for sale soon. Direct fit to any northern irish 4efe/5efe Ive dremeled a 4efte tb to take a 4efe tps now I just have to finish the adapter plate for the idle valve then its off to the dyno.. Quote
rmsnoel Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Rear speakers secret loom plug. I pulled out the rear speaker plug (found in all starlets) thats used in SR and hooked up some temp 6x9Unbolt the rear plastics, pull it back and follow the rear light wiring back until u find the hidden plug taped to the loom. You can see its just next to the rear seat bracket. I removed the plug, pulled the wires through here then refitted the plug because I have a SR parcelshelf with matchin plug Loom plug removal tool- great for SR clock conversion too Edited June 28, 2013 by rmsnoel Quote
Chris Green Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Nice progress in this mate, loving the attention to detail and subtle touches! Quote
rmsnoel Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks chris. Im just through MOT so fittin the 4branch n decat next week along with the oz alloys. Shopping for backbox options at the minute Quote
rmsnoel Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 Oil changed and over sized oil filter used Im goin to fit one of those shitty oil filter coolers as well Quote
rmsnoel Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 A quick comparsion of the gen1 corolla 4efe and jdm 5efhe cynos 4_2_1 exhaust manifolds. And a big thank you to Browner & Jay for sourcing both items. Ill test fit both and keep whichever suits my driving stye better.Both fit a 4efe although the 5efhe needs abit grinded off the flange so as not to foul the block Quote
Nanglebadger Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 very interesting experiment buddy!!! really cool to see someone playing with an n/a again, its like going back 6 or 7 years reading this! keep it up dude! and pleaase report back on your findings with both manis! Phil. Quote
rmsnoel Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Finaly track down this beautiful little gif...Up the rolla manifolds!! Quote
rmsnoel Posted August 4, 2013 Author Posted August 4, 2013 Fte throttlebody modded to take a 4efe tps. It would have been easier to use a fte auto but thus seems more fun.FYI 4AFE is the ideal 50mm for you guysFitted this baby too Quote
