GT_Elaine Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Brought my starlet in March 07. pretty much standard other than the down pipe, exhaust system, 15â? Alloys and HKS Turbo Timer. She looked like thisHad her rolled the day after and she ran 146.6bhp @ .6 bar with a very buggered turboâ?¦. Had new turbo fitted and it made a hell of a difference the car was a lot more reactiveâ?¦ when having the Turbo fitted we found a very nice 3inch crack in the ManifoldNew turbo fitted, High boost = fuel cut so ordered and fitted a HKS Adjustable Actuator she made 150bhp @ .8 bar Car needed a service so time to get some upgraded plugs and leads and had a new Cam belt fitted New Mani Air Filter & before the FMICConsidering we were cutting the bumper in the dark I donâ??t think it turned out to badly, got a new bumper waiting to be cut and painted so hoping the car will look nice once its on and its been detailedâ?¦Before the arrival of my new front bumper I had the car detailedSpray liberally with foamClean to reveal white paint!!Clay to pull off all the contaminantsCover all rubber trims with masking tapeCompounding pad with Menzerna IP50/50 shots left polished right notOnce completeNew Front Bumper and HID's FittedAll done... for now any wayMy current spec list...
