KCEP82 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thank you very much it's a bit of a sad story with my starlet I brought it from a car sales and two days later the head gasket went they've had it for three weeks already bit of a long story but when I for it I didn't realise it didn't have an air filter fitted which I thought was weird and the air con has been removed, when I get it back would you be able to have a look at it for me please because with these I don't know what I'm looking at it's my first modified jap turbo car with barely any history and the car sales don't know what they were looking at Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also saves weight and gives u options to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KCEP82 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Excellent thank you and yea there doing the head gasket, I've made an induction for it using silicon hose chrome pipe and a universal filter, lol I've never had air con before so I won't miss anything and what do you mean by options because they removed the air con Quote Link to post Share on other sites
