Toyota Startlet Gt turbo and Zs180

[livewire1888]

Hey

Picking up my Gt turbo on thursday, this probably follows on from my previous post about my timing belts needin done on the Zs. Don't know what to do with the Zs, I don't see me getting the belts changed but don't really want to sell it straight away. Its hard to think of parting with her.

nice
show some pics of the starlet turbo
always nice to see.
would love to have a starlet turbo one day, but here in the netherlands you dont find them often, you always see the glanza's

Cheers

I haven't got any yet but I will once I do. Its the mk3 with the quad front lights. I've never had a turbo so I'am looking to see what thats like.

[Dr Doggystyle]

the mk3 is the nicest one to have with the quad lights.

I have a 2x a P7 and now im looking for a black stock P8.
Have gtt parts ready if i find a nice P8
Have the gtt hood, complete sideskirts, kouki's and zenki rear light with both midpanels.
also the gtt frontbumper with fog lights and the gtt rearbumper

I'am thinking about ripping out all the zs's interior, door cards and seats etc. I want to see how much i can reduce weight by and see if it improves much.

[Dr Doggystyle]

and how is the GT turbo ?
any pics ?

[livewire1888]

Its good, its got a slight overheating problem when on sustained boost like sitting on the motorway or red lining it through the gears, temp goes up and then give it a rest or turn on heaters it goes staright back down. Normal driving does not increase temp though. Also the windows don't go down, I can hear the motors clicking but nothing else happens?

Give me a week or two for the photos, really busy at work and i'am not the best on pc's etc. I must say it is cool. lol

[carmadbaker]

Its pretty far from "cool" ;) (see what i did there?!) do like the startlet turbo's, under estimated!
Any mods or tuning parts?

[livewire1888]

Yeah i did it took me a few seconds lol, its got a frount mount intercooler thats hard piped, hks turbo timer, air filter, exhaust and a jap style jvc head unit.

I'll need to check the paper work cant remember what kind of exhaust, it is a good one.

[livewire1888]

I've still got the mg for now, took her to work and realised how awesome it is on the motorway, took the starlet out when i got back from work, which was also fun lol. Just found out you can't use no claims discount ovet two cars??? What a load off ....!

You can mirror ncb with some insurers, sky being one.
It might be the front mount cooler causing your overheating problems, consider an uprated radiator jobby it might help, with a big front mount blocking air flow its easy to overheat the water

[livewire1888]

Yeah i think the raditor that its got could be needing replaced anyways, the coolant is a bit rusty :-0 and was also a little low, I topped it up with a universal anti-freeze. I was planning to get the coolant changed going to get a full service in the next couple weeks. Others have suggested that it could have air pockets and said I can remove them by having the cap open whilst running. Is this true and do I need to have it warmed up in order for this to happen?

Do i need both cars to be insured with sky?
