thanks man .yeah they needed renewing so I thought I will go with the old school style font. so much better as you can actually see the decals now,they were ao faded.

[mikey4410]

washed and wax on wax offed today,came up really well.Also i checked the spark plug gaps and couldnt believe they WERE actaully gapped to 1.1mm from ngk which is weird haha.

also i checked my tyres that have done 4,000 miles only now,the fronts are on the wear limits and the rears are like new !!!!

cheers mate.tiz wicked as it surprises people

the wheels i would only ever respray in the same colour as that is the closet i would get to the original wheels.

the bumper i aint to worried about as i concentrate mostly on mechanical upkeep,cosmetically i think it "fits" the cars style.

and no lol the kids sign is to add to the car being what it is.

[NewbieLewby]

holy carp that's awesome . this gunna be at japfest this year

[mikey4410]

thanks lewby....and unfortunately not,left it to late and never got a ticket. have always wanted to go dam it.

[NewbieLewby]

Aww man

Was hoping to see this

[mikey4410]

[mikey4410]

these flames happen between 5-6k revs ALOT at the moe

[*Pete*]

Looked sick lastnight at southend! Shame I didn't come in my starlet as its going to fast show tomorrow!

[mikey4410]

for some reason shows readline as 6,000rpm even though its actually 7,200rpm which is weird

[mikey4410]

Emanage set up will give you that 40hp extra or there abouts but still a good result.

[5T4R7ET N/A]

^^ agreed, it completely changes the car.

Faster spool time, general throttle response with ultimate power and torque greatly increased. Not forgetting better mpg.

you got everything you need for emanage, so just do it.

[mikey4410]

car issues and lack of power resolved .........turns out inlet cam was out a tooth and inlet opened late and shut late making me lose power.

CHECKED ALL THE TIMING POINTS AND ALL ARE SPOT ON AND PERFECT.

compression check went from 150psi up to 170 psi over all four

and car feels soooo much better

BECUASE OF THE INLET CAM ADJUSTMENT I RECHECKED AFRS AND THEY HAVE GONE FROM 11.0 WOT IN 3RD TO 11.3 SO THERES DEFINATLEY BEEN A SMALL CHANGE WHAT WITH EXTRA AIR BEING MADE BECUASE OF CORRECT COMBUSTION.

[stevenights4]

I just got them brakes lol I changing all 4

[mikey4410]

been reading up on how breaking fluid breaks down and absorbs water and shud be changed every 2/3 years.......my cars 16 or so years old and you can bet its still original lol.

the new fluid shud really help.

[stevenights4]

Haha no way mine is probably the same the last Ower didn't really look after her need to try and make my paint look new again

[mikey4410]

so I flushed the brake system through and the fluid was brown and not the pee yellow it shud be

[mikey4410]

brakes feel much better and was sooo worth doing.

brakes are now more responsive and pedals goin harder quicker

[TurboTobz]

My pee is brown and not the yellow it should be, what should I do
