Hi, I've got a 95 ep82 GT and I've taken my head out due to a cracked head gasket. Now, I've tested my head for warpage with a metal ruler and a feeler gauge, along the exhaust manifold side I can measure 0.4mm. Which is a lot apparently, and it'll need to be tested for hardness before they...

Hi, I have a 95 ep82. I took the speedo cluster out to replace one of the bulbs. Since then my speedo has stopped working. I've disconnected the cable from the gearbox end and pushed it in, I've had someone holding it in while I plug it into the cluster, I don't know what else to do. When I...

Hi guys, I have a 95 ep82 GT manual. Happened today.. I have no "reverse" it tries to move forward (it feels like 4th). It just doesn't feel like it engages anything. I can put it in reverse while moving forward with no repercussions or difference in driving.. All other gears are fine...

Hi guys, lately when im driving at night I notice my lights dim when i brake, indicate, etc etc. I have taken it to an auto store and they tested it and battery came up low capacity, but starting and charging were OK. Ive been told to add an earth cable from chassis-engine. I know the battery...

Ok, so my rh side low beam plug wires had been knicked by a drive belt, so now i came to replace the plug.. after doing so its not quite right.. when i turn low beams on the lh side is fine, but the rh side is dim, even the high beams are dim on both sides (its not on high beam yet..). Then i...

Hi guys, I own a 95 ep82 starlet with the quad headlights and i've come to replace the bulbs.. Now, the bulbs I've taken out are HB3/9005 (bulbs have 2 male guides), which were a pain to get out. On one side, the plug has been replaced and obviously fits the HB3 perfect, but on the other side it...

I was on the on ramp to the motorway and i was giving it a bit of jandal, still under 100km/h tho, and when i changed to fifth it wouldnt budge into it. Its the second time its been on the motorway (first time being 20mins beforehand) and 423kms since I changed the clutch. I could force it into...

Hi guys, I may be overreacting here but I want to explain just incase. I have done my first clutch replacement (backyard repair). I'll start from the beginning- When I first reversed the car the engine and wheels shook pretty bad, but Im putting that down to being the stalling point as it goes...

Hi guys, I have a 95 GT ep82. I had gotten a new muffler tip installed earlier in the day, did a few trips and then eventually i got back into the car turned the key, the car would crank but wouldnt fire. Until about my fifth or so try it fired and got home with no trouble. The next morning...

Hi there, I have a 95 gt starlet, and the other day i had one wheel jacked up while i was doing my radiator and oil change, and while i had the engine on i noticed that wheel was spinning, i didnt think much of it at first- i thought i may have bumped it or something. When i checked later it was...

Hey guys, seem to fix one problem then another one starts, lovely :P Now, what happens when I put the clutch in/put in neutral while im coasting the revs would fluctuate say from 1380/1400, no biggy, but its there and it won't settle till i idle. I found today that if i am rolling fast, say...

I was driving along and I started to hear a small clunk clunk. My original thought was I just had a flat tyre, turns out it wasn't that easy. Now, I couldn't quite feel it, just hear it. It is coming from the front left. It doesn't sound like a CV joint, CV joint I know sounds like rapid...

About a month ago now, I couldnt be able to drive above 3k revs on 3rd or 4th without it slipping. Now, I can go in fourth or fifth reach about +4k revs and no problem. Is this normal? Could it have been the clutch or something else?

Hi guys, looking to put in a bov into my 95 gt starlet. The factory one had cracked off the intake pipe due to not having a bolt to hold it down.. Anyway, on my top mount (by intake mini) there is a pipe that has been welded onto it that is currently plugged. Now, by the looks of it there was a...

Just a quick one guys. Im going to buy new plugs and leads for my GT. Just want too know if wrapping the leads with foam tape is going to change or alter the performance of the leads. Wouldnt think so, just want to double check. The only reason why i'm thinking of doing it is because the last...
