The time has come to sell my GT, while I love this car i'm planning a career change soon and basically need something that's a little more economical, cheaper to insure and cheaper so I can free up some money! For sale: 1992 Starlet GT Turbo Mk2 Item Condition: I bought the car in march...

Hi, When i switched on my wipers yesterday, the whole arm snapped (not just the blade) in the middle, which is a bit of a pain! Does anyone know the easiest way to get a new one? Is is the same as a standard starlet one so i can get one off a car in a scrap yard? I'd imagine toyota would...

Finally got around to adjusting my handbrake for MOT, there is now no play before you feel the lever 'start pulling' if you know what I mean. But no matter how hard I pull the handbrake on (and the lever doesn't come up loads or anything it feels very tight) its still not enough to hold the car...

I need both handbrake cables, used is fine providing they're both in good working condition! Cheers Rich

Came flying round a bend going the opposite way to me yesterday, (monday) didn't get a chance to see who was driving!

Spotted just coming off the mini roundabout near the garage, I only noticed because he gave me the thumbs up!

I'm totally fed up of my (stock) starlets utterly appalling handling in the wet, its only JUST acceptable in the dry, but in the wet it understeers on the turn in, understeers right through the middle, and then SERIOUSLY under steers when you try to get the slightest bit of power down on the...

Decided to finally fix my horn today (its never worked), so took the wheel off to get at the wiring. (its a custom wheel jobby) and all that's there is the horn switch! No sign of any wires at all! Can anyone tell me where they wires usually come through as i'm hoping they've just been hidden...

Hey guys, at some point in the past the boot has come to have a different lock to the rest of the car, but i don't have the key for it, so i can only open the boot from inside the car with the puller by the drivers seat. Can anyone tell me where i can get another lock/barrel thingy for the...

Just curious guys, is it a hard job to replace these? Does the gearbox have to be dropped out completely and taken apart, or can it be done in situ with the driveshafts removed? Cheers Rich

Hi, Recently had the clutch changed, and i've just noticed that there is oil leaking from the gearbox, i'm pretty sure its not the drain plug, looks like its maybe coming from around the driveshafts in... Any idea what it could be? Thanks

Since the previous owner left me with this: I'm trying to wire in some rear 6x9's the car already has the plug on the parcel shelf (stock setup) and i have wired them into that, but they are obviously not connected up at the headunit end of things! Does anyone know which wires go to the...

My clutch has started slipping in 3rd and 4th when the car comes on boost, so i need to change the clutch. I've read the the clutch changing guide and done some searching but am still uncertain on some points. I'd like to do it myself and save a £150 bill, but i've never done anything this...

Think my handbrake cable froze today (i hear its a common problem?) driving in the country with a friend, we decide to stop for a snowfight (middle of nowhere) when i pull away again the handbrakes binding on one side, and its really seized solid lol. With both of use yanking on it we...

Does anyone have a standard airbox that they can sell me? (EP82) My GT has a Cone type filter which from what i have read isn't helping performance or fuel economy! :) Cheers Rich

I don't have the key for the boot of my EP82 so i have to use the popper from inside, unfortunately this doesn't seem to have enough power to spring the lock unless someone physically lifts the boot at the same time. This means i can't open the boot on my own, how easy is it to fit another...

Hi, I've recently got hold of my EP82 and because i don't know when (if? lol) it was last done, i plan to change the oil, filter and fuel filter... Obviously i'm fine with the oil, but can i get a fuel and oil filter to fit off the shelf anywhere? I know they are up for sale on a lot of...

Hi, My EP82 currently has 17's which are way to big, and occasionaly scrape over bumps, wanting to get some 14s or 15s, preferably with some rubber on them. I'm not after the hottest set of rims in the world (read i can't afford them lol), i'm looking for something around £100 as long as they...

Hey guys, i've just recently acquired a EP82: So should be around! :) Its in pretty good nick, no rust etc, my plan is to get it into great standard condition before i do anything else, the list is: - Get rid of the stupid 17's (they look stupid and rub when the roads bumpy) if...
