Small Update but its progress.



The car has had a good service. I bought iridium plugs and I changed the oil twice. Also bought a magnetic sump plug to catch any nasties. The car was jerking when cruising but fine when you boot it so I thought a good service might solve it but it's still doing it, and its getting slowly worse. I'm gonna get a new dizzy cap and rotor arm and see how she runs after that, fingers crossed.



Parts Bought


Cheap Oil


Castrol Magnatec 10w40


Oil Filter


Magnetic Sump Plug


Fuel Filter


Iridium Spark Plugs


Cambelt Kit


PAS Belt & Alternator Belt

Hi All,



Its been a while since my last post and there's not allot to report... The car has had another service and the rear drums have been painted blue...I will post some before and after pics once the car has been cleaned this week...Its also had a new dissy cap and rotor arm fitted...Although not much has been done there is some sight of progress coming next week... :thumbsup:



I have bought an exhaust cutter so I can fit the stainless cat back system from my old starlet, and I am also trying to source an Apexi air filter with a 40 degree polished pipe from Dean at RW-Developments... Once they are both on I will upload some pics and possibly a little vid of it running...
