mikey4410 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hey guys, Being a starlet master by now and working on numerous starlets including friends and my own i jumped at this opportunity a few months back http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/74577-who-has-the-knowledge-tools-and-time-to-work-on-my-car/ The car was left with me for two weeks as adamf had a holiday. I had a page of stuff to do on the car and 90% of it was just general maintenance. on the list was end result/fix # compression test to makesure all was well 175 psi over all cylinders with less than 3psi difference at worst# locate whistle noise from engine bay a knackered malpassi was issue,cured with a genuine sard rrfpr# drop oil and filter change mobil1 fully synthetic was used# fit new spark plugs new iridium plugs were fitted# idle a bit lumpy stripped and cleaned out idle control valve# fit speedo converter done# replace lefthand tailgate strut done# replace headlight bulbs done# replace glow badge bulbs done# adjust bonnet catch done# wash and mop/wax car done# fit boost gauge done# replace coolant done# replace 2 tyres done# valet car inside done# fit new rad fan switch done i got every single job done that adamf required and i charged him just £10 an hour which is not alot. needless to say he was very very happy with my work and he is a great guy also his car is soooo tidy for a g reg starlet and its a credit to him hope we meet again soon my friend Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamF Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 First off, Mikey is a really cool guy! Not long after posting that we chatted on the phone and discussed things in more detail. He totally understood where I wanted to go with the car which made things easier.His standard of work is like nothing else, out of all the jobs completed (tons and tons) not once was anything bodged or a corner cut. Every job no matter how menial was carried out to a very high standard. I think it says it all really when after meeting him I instantly left my car in his hands for two weeks, really trustworthy!To a great hardworking and very knowledgable guy, thanks again buddy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Adam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
