Starter issue again

 Having some cranking issue with the starter.

So decided to just swap the starter which I have service last time with the old one. 

Newly service high speed starter from ae111. 

Swapped out Old starter from ae80. 

New starter back in the engine. Hopefully no starting issue after this. Need to place a heat shield to prevent the hot manifold from failing the starter. 

Installing the new starter 

JDM Corolla grille with lamp bezel

 

Got this original Corolla logo with chrome grille and lamp bezel.

Installed the new face.

Looks proper.

Previous grille and lamp bezel doesn't look great. (Taiwan bezel)

 Installing the cusco fireball header which is a 4-1 header.

Flange bracket need to be modded for 20v engine. 16v bracket slightly off on the end 2 bolts.

Previous 4-2-1 japanese header.

Cusco 4-1 powerball header. Hopes to extract more power from the engine.

Center cone

 Felt some vibration on the steering wheel.

Mech. Recommended to install center cone to the wheel.

Did some measurements and found out that need to customize the size with OD 75mm (SSR mk-3) and ID 60.6mm (ae86) hub.

Did some soul searching and found a shop doing customize size for the center cone.

Ordered and got my parcel in a week time.

Custom center cone.

Installed the front cone.

And rear cone.

Complete with balancing. Hopefully no more vibration.

Time for the periodic oil change

 

Change the engine oil after 5k of usage.

Using 15W/50 Wakos fully synthetic oil.

Change the tie rod end as well due to Freeplay.
