Thats exactly how mine was when I took it off to get the wastegate ported.
Got it ported, slapped it back on and worked fine.
No problems at all with a crack like that on mine.
Agree nothing was as fun as my GT i might even have to get yet another one lol.
The smart maybe for the wife only, blokes just look gay in them.... maybe its just me that thinks that.
Good as the emanage and will cost you around 150-200 for fitting and a map.
Its not something you can just plug in has to be wired in and then mapped.
Yes tuners are very available to fit and tune the dastek.
There is no washer, I'm sure one of the 3 starlets I have owned would of had the washer on if it was fitted from factory.
If you did not do it yourself sounds like the bearings may have been damaged in removal as Sean above has mentioned.
Well it was bought from the toy tunning website, and there is a reciept from TT so I'm assuming they either do sell ones like that, or it was a one off?
