Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 runs 10w-40 at the moment, gets about a quarter of the way down the dipstick every 2-3 weeks so it isnt to bad tbh, just keeping an eye on it until ihave the funds and time to fix it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Looking good dude. Get some side skirts o her buddy! Also I noticed a good difference when I fitted my 4.2.1 obx exhaust manifold. Lightweight flywheel should be on your list buddy;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 cheers dude! i was thinking of a lightweight flywheel when i have to do my clutch when it gets worn out I've got some glanza ones already painted but dont have any end caps for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Westley Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Ignore what I said about the breather filter! I got a 9mm filter from auto silicone hoses, put it on, it was too big. The hose clamp it comes with was tightened fully and it still didn't tighten enough then when removing it the filter actually broke away from the hose neck... Yeeeeeah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Oops.. Ah well better to find out now rather than when going around I spose Westley! Yea its a shame cant find any end caps for em but I'm sure some will turn up eventually! How much difference did the lightweight flywheel make?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 nice dude, il look into it other one i might look at is an LSD, as it feels like its grabbing at the road if i put my foot down, would be good to do at the same time as the flywheel!

Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 another little update for the build! as im on holiday I've got time to do some extra bits! got hold of some 20mm spacers off a Yaris from a mate, only the 2 as they didnt have a set of 4 which is a shame but never mind! so they'l be going on as soon as I've got my panhard rod set up, which il do on the ramp at work one day. also got my self a starlet owners air freshner just so everyone knows im part of the team ;) had a Simoni Gravel deep dish steering wheel floating about for a while too which i finally got myself a boss kit for, so theres a possibility that will go on over the holiday period too!

Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) little update on the starlet, got my Panhard rod fitted and adjusted yesterday! (in the pissing rain!) unfortunately the spacers were going on the back but dont fit as the Speedlines dont have a reccess for the hub bolts to go into and dont really want to cut them down in case i want to take the spacers back off! other than that im looking at grabbing some Celica mk6 brake calipers and carriers and throwing them on too to up the stopping power a bit then the induction kit but I've got to make that so il do that at a later date! oo and I've got a new front plate as the old one was de laminating!

Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 would be sweet to find out! what bits do you have on yours? done anything to the fueling system? cant decide if i should go down that route or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) would be sweet to find out! what bits do you have on yours? done anything to the fueling system? cant decide if i should go down that route or not?Done nothing about fueling yet lol but corrola intake (glanza s intake) obx racing exhaust manifold Lightweight flywheel won't do anything to bhp though. Plan on trying the 4efte ecu as people on here say it's worth it. Also an decent induction kit.Have a look on my build thread it's called my starlet n/a have a video from track day I show a few cars up, these cars are just amazing in the handling department.

Dansstarlet1996 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 they are fun with just a few handling mods! similar set up to me then i havent got the lightweight flywheel though. wouldnt it need glanza injectors etc for the ecu or can it run on the standard ones? i duno if il look at a Emanage blue or a 4efte ecu depends what the best results come from Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yeah might give it a go once i actually have some money lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
