PPSR05 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Bought my SR a few weeks back and got some plans for it so far have changed the alternator and belts de wipered the back a and slowly started the inside Quote
PPSR05 Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 I can't see how to upload a picture on here and I've started to strip the inside out I want to keep the exterior quite standard apart from wanting a glanza rear bumper as the current one had a huge hole cut out of it by the previous owner so he could have a big exhaust. Once I've done the inside how I want it roll cage and everything then eventually think about anxiety engine swap. But like I said I want to keep the outside standard ie tte rear spoiler 😊 Quote

morgey Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Guide to uploading photoshttp://www.ukstarletowners.com/page/articles.html/_/club-site/sharing-photos-on-the-website-r27Alternatively you can use the pc version (non mobile site) and in the full editor you can directly upload images. Not sure if you need to be a paid member for that option though Quote

PPSR05 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Got my new sidelights today will upload a pic of them when it's darker so can see better eventually I will want to get some crystal headlights but not right this second as I will want to find out if you can get an aftermarket hood for an sr without having to change bumper/lights Quote
lukEp Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 You can get crystal OEM uk spec headlights from Toyota no need to change the bonnet. http://id-workz.co.uk/toyota/starlet/starlet-uk-spec-ep91/exterior/crystal-headlights-uk-speccar looks good by the way, please don't Glanza Rep it. Get a none SR if you want to Glanza Rep or get a Glanza. Quote
PPSR05 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 No I don't want to glanza rep I want to keep it standard on outside as possible apart from maybe rear bumper as current one has a huge hole cut out. Want the glanza bumper or similar so I can put a new exhaust on might get the front tte splitter from id workz eventually. Also keeping the tte spoiler too. More want a sleeper basically Quote
PPSR05 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Also the whole bonnet thing is because I want to buy a new one as current one has a rust bubble that's why I was thinking of an aftermarket one Edited September 3, 2015 by PPSR05 Quote
PPSR05 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks I'll bear that in mind and I've got some new sidelights to go with my xenon look bulbs comparing new side lights with the old what you guys think? Quote
PPSR05 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 Would post a picture with the xenon look bulbs but picture doesn't really take well due to the light will be giving the engine some fresh oil and spark plugs and filters to get it running smoothly Quote
PPSR05 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Bought some parts to give my car a service so I can get it running smoothly. I've got a new fuel filter I know it may sound stupid but how simple is it? Any feedback will be appreciated thanks. Quote
bdohohh Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Fuel filter isn't too bad I'm sure there's tutorials on here for replacing it.Car looks good, if I didnt have a white sr I'd be after a black I actually think it's the best colour in them. Quote

Thanks I'm glad it's black to be honest if it wasn't I'd want it black Anyway. Quote
bdohohh Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 If you undo the pipes on the top and bottom of the fuel filter, then undo the bolts that hold the fuel filter on, then just replace it with the new one and bolt everything back up again. I hope that makes sense. Quote

I hope that makes sense. Ye it does but I saw somewhere online that you should leave the fuel cap open or something so you don't get a load of pressure and fuel everywhere also I saw one where it said to take out the fuse for the fuel pump?

morgey Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Fuel will come out no matter what. The cap wont make any differece as theres a pump in the way.And dont worry about taking the fuse out, just dont start the car lol. Or if you want to be safe you should really disconnect the battery as not to short anything out and create a spark but its really nothing to worry about I've pumped fuel out of my tank by disconnecting the fuel line and putting it in a bucket the turning the car over lol.Onces its all done, let the fuel pump prime by turning the ignition on, check it, if its ok, Just start it up and check for any leaks again. 👍 Quote

bdohohh Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 First time I did mine I drank a bit of fuel like haha it'll go everywhere just takes practice one of those jobs that you'll get the hang of no problem after giving it a go Quote
