We were supposed to maintain that thing???? I never did a thing to it for 3 years. never even died on me. It was getting slow to crank, so out it went.

Yeah I know. same thing for me. I guess that is why the casing was translucent, so you could check the electrolyte level and add distilled water or something. It was the only car battery I've ever come across that was like that.

The clicking implies that the starter drive is engaging the flywheel, but not turning it. The most common causes could be bad cables/connection, starter solenoid, or battery. Somewhere, either you aren't getting enough juice to the solenoid or it is drawing to much current to allow it to also spin the flywheel. EGR valve???

iamgrey1, is that your yugo on your avitar? got any closer pics or info...looks pretty cool, at first I thought it was a toyota starlet...Like this one:

The Yugo thing is a joke. I asked MP3WANNABE what his favorite car was and he said that he wished his Mazda was a Yugo. I used the avatar as a reminder to him of our conversation. Weird guy.

What the starlet? It's a pretty sick car. RWD and very light, can use alot of the AE86 (corolla GTS) suspension and numerous parts. It handles well, and can mate alot of different engines in there. I've seen a few with a Toyota 4AG/4AG 20V engine, S2000 Engine, Toyota 3TC, 2TG, 18RG, & 3SGE engine.

There's this huge Old School Toyota Meet in Down Town Long Beach, CA (Queen Mary) this saturday. http://www.toyotaclub.org/ There will be a few starlets there, among other things, Old Corollas, Celicas, MR2, Landcruisers...It isn't mazda related, but I've seen a few Old Corollas with Turbo 13B's.

Yes you're right...The newer starlets (EP chasis?) are Turbo FWD, but as usual w/Toyota the good stuff are all JDM
