only a small minority of the very first ones suffer from oil consumption it was a valve stem seal issue and was completely fixed by 2002, the 1.8 vvti on the other hand was always a poor enough engine! strangely enough the performance 1.8vvtli didn't get any of it's sister engine's problems. I had a 1.4vvti corolla for a good long time was one of the nippiest 1.4's I ever drove! if ya put the intake mani, throttle body and injectors from a 1.8 onto them they make about 120bhp.
The old 4efe engine from the corolla/starlet was some job though as mentioned I'm picking up a jap starlet which has the jdm 4efe in a few weeks time they're a nice bit different to the European model they share the same internals and head as the gt turbo starlets only they have higher compression being n/a and obviously no turbo

there's video's on youtube of a stripped out 700kg one going out by a glanza turbo :P

we have a 1L yaris with over 200k Miles and it does nt burn one drop of oil between services ( maybe it does but the lassie that drives it doesnt dip it too often :rolleyes: )

son had a corolla & you need shares in duckhams to fulfil it's thirst

selectamatic · 17-07-2015 09:30PM

Ay fuel consumption varies greatly depending on how you drive them and they aren't the most economical anyways but then again toyota's never were the best in this field! a 1.4 golf or polo will generally be a fair bit easier on juice but thats offset by the fact that the engines are very dead in themselves and barely put out 70bhp! I'd go with a 1.0 polo over the 1.4's purely because the performance difference isn't nearly as big as one would imagine and they're better again on petrol! On them corolla's its important to have a good clean free flowing air filter if the one on your son's is old and a bit worse for wear it might explain the fuel use.

had one of them 1.4 polo engines in a fabia,grand motor was gettin 40+mpg out of it

selectamatic · 17-07-2015 10:58PM

Ya they're a great engine on petrol alright and grand and simple to maintain/fix. They're not fit for abuse like the jap engines though and not near as lively either but then again that doesn't bother normal mature people :P

You must be on toc??

selectamatic · 17-07-2015 11:41PM

I am surely, although it's been a fair while since I've been on it now that ya mention it! Anyways this is the video of the little n/a jap starlet and the glanza turbo I was on about! By the way both cars are owned by the same fella and he runs the uk starlet club website so there's no youtube trickery going on here

and with that I better stop with the car chat before the mods start wondering whats wrong with me

Although auld toyota's and irish farming go hand in hand

One for the tech heads out there.
We have a internet connection in the farm office with an ethernet cable running to the student house in the yard from the router in the office. To make this ethernet cable in the house into wifi do you simply buy a cheap router and bobs your uncle/ get one from bt the provider and do i need any passwords etc to add the second router to the line so to speak? something else needed?

You just need an access point in the student house to put on the end of that ethernet cable. Providing the students have wireless laptops and devices which I presume they do.

Passwords etc is up to yourself.

If one bit of the house is within the range of wifi of the office(one plug socket is enough) you can get wifi boosters that will send it around the house, no extra passwords required

MickeyShtyles · 18-07-2015 12:21PM

If ya got two or three boosters ya could send it around the yard. Lad I know did it and he has a booster on each gable.
