Glanza_Ragger Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 If youre on a tight budget, its best not to try and modify one.Tuning on a budget normally ends up with unhappy faces, and lots of swearing like, "f#cking fuel cut defender pile of w#nk" 4efte exhaust systems are very restrictive.So you will want to dump the original system and get a FULL performance system.No point just changing the back box because it looks proper bo, when you have the rest of the system the size of a maccyd's straw.Next thing would probably be air filter, which i would personally suggest an uprated panel filter inside the original box running the oem air feed, or an open filter like an apexi/power enterprise relocated..And an uprated adjustable actuator.That will give you more stable boost with out dropping off or spiking like the oem ones do due to age and wear.Then before anything else, i would seriously think about the handling/braking side of things.Starlets arent amazing in either departments.So before you go hammering it, you should be able to come to a stop and with out rolling the thing.DONT just fit a fcd and thwack the boost up.If you cant afford to tune it, then leave it standard or keep saving untill you can do it properly.Craig.

StarletRick Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 before you even open the bonnet, get it handling and stopping right. thats the main problem with starlets, they are fucking crap at cornering and stopping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Ahh the memories of sea sickness The standard brake setup wont really stop you once you start tuning it.And thats if you dont roll the car round a corner first Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 yeah, its that bad.... first thing you need to do is get some good discs and pads and some braided lines (i have some ZEP Racing ones for sale ^^) then once youve doen that. get some decent shocks and springs/coilovers, and then get an anti roll bar. then... get a boost gauge. then...open the bonnet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
