Third Time Lucky? Pete's Third Starlet, Turbo time!


Recommended Posts

Should be there Ive had 3 now with it in different models and different years. It is folded back on its self usally dont see why yours doesn't have it as the wiring looms should be same. Only difference is from 96-97 to 98-99 they changed how it came through the firewall

Oh right, well I did have a good look and had the rear quarter plastic all unclipped and I couldn't find any wire :/ tbh though the parcel shelf I got had the plug on the passenger side anyway, and the existing wiring from a previous owner had been run down the passenger side so I just improved on that

Not just the rear one you have take off to get you also got to pull the front rear quarter one too

Are the paseo dials same to wire in as the SR ones dude? Cheers

No, if you look in the how to/tutorial section theres a how to which I found easy to follow, have to swap the wire around and some wires move plug as well

Some of you know I and a few of my friends run a local car club called Limitless, which we had our first monthly meet last weekend so had the car relatively clean. Here are the photos I took of my car, first two are at the meet and the other after the meet.

So took the rest off the glue off at the weekend and clay bar around the area to make it all the the same colour :p and spent two hours polishing the lips of my wheels, took most of the corrosion off and got a bit of a reflection.

As you can see from the picture above the universal wheel spacers stick out over the hub and wheel where it bolts the hub and look ugly so I had these made.
