bdohohh Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Finally home from an awesome weekend at JAE and Alton towers! I've missed little Susan so much, might take her out for a spin tonight depending on petrol haha. Got some big plans, hopefully changing the manifold and a few updates to the induction side of things to get a little bit more power. Also going to get a little mini air filter because I think they look cool. Will be painted all the new body parts so hopefully she'll look completely different soon! Changing the wheels too to a set of sparcos in terrible need of refurb, but they have snow tyres and I'm not risking chipping my paint. So now that JAE is over my car will be getting a lot of tlc the next few weeks! Updates to come! Ps Phil, we have cake and stickers for you and Mrs Badger Beth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^^yes, I got a pre-drunk phonecall about that from Mr Bower on saturday night lol! I look forward to receiving and distributing said items to the NorthStar community! Looking forward to seeing some updates on this over the coming weeks/months, as always, I know he doesnt need any help, but if he does, the Joel-Meister just has to shout! Phil.

bdohohh Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Did some playing and got the air filter front facing now to get a bit more air so a little bit more powa need to change the filter tomorrow though as I broke the hks haha oops...Next up is source a catch can or breather filter to get rid of some unsightly tubes. Also would quite like an apexi rsm as I'm having a few issues with the revs and want to keep a closer eye on what they're hitting. Still can't wait for the new body to go on, she's going to look so different! Beth Edited September 12, 2014 by bdohohh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Replaced the broken HKS with a pipercross filter and having it sitting sucking in so much air! Car feels a lot more responsive already and so much fun to drive, also fixed the idling issue by adjusting the timing which was a little off so she's a pleasure to drive again Edited September 13, 2014 by bdohohh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrozenJakalope Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 That looks awesome, so shiny What exhaust mani is that? Doesn't look anywhere near as damn ugly as the stock one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 That looks awesome, so shiny What exhaust mani is that? Doesn't look anywhere near as damn ugly as the stock one.Cheers pal! The filter is a pipercross, love how it looks so different to the last one The exhaust mani is obx was aerosoled black to stop it rusting so that's why it still looks quite clean xD Beth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Budnbass Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 That's looks nice bet it's so much more responsive! What have you done with the Air Flow sensor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 That's looks nice bet it's so much more responsive! What have you done with the Air Flow sensor?Going to drill a hole in the pipe to put it in Yeah so much better already, the little things make such a difference.

littlegreenmonster Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I thought thatbit was an air temp sensor not air flow ?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It is an air temp sensor. These engines run map so dont have an air speed sensor.Air filter looks tidy, not soaking up half as much engine bay heat now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 It is a temp sensor tho at the moment it's not sensing arse all haha. Cheers morgey! I love the new positioning Beth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Replaced my dirty old battery with a new, smaller Jap one so my air filter has more room, as it was sucking in warm air cause it was so close to the exhaust mani. Also my boyfriend surprised me with a new breather filter I think they look sweet and it gets rid of an unsightly pipe. Will replace it with a catch can once I source one.Next up is corolla mani I have to go on, move the battery back a bit to move the air filter over a lot more to get it sucking even more cold air in. and then, or maybe before, body part time. Still just waiting for it to be painted, I'm so excited to see what it's going to look like. Never seen a starlet with quite the same combination of parts so I can't wait to see what it looks like!

bdohohh Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Ok I need help! Next weekend is a busy busy one. Removing bump strips to prep for getting the body done, painting my new inlet mani and smoothed rocker cover.BUT I wanna put something on the rocker cover. I'd love to put a domo but my boyfriends brother has that so I don't want to copy him! Something mascot-ish like that though, I just can't decide! Wouldn't mind something a little girly but not too keen on anything really really feminine cause I quite like people thinking its a guys car until they meet me haha people act weird once they find out I'm a girl so I'd rather something a little androgynous.Any ideas welcome though, HELP!

bdohohh Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Go old skool. An american tail fievel goes west ;)haha that would make sense cause my best mate is obsessed with that and wants to call his child fievel... I was thinking stitch from lilo and stitch maybe cause it would be easy to get a little teddy of him too, and the colour scheme is blue and purple.I need to find the right size sticker now, might make Joel do it.
