Thank you D. Hanna for the photos and good taste.
Some before and after pictures of Philips T10 LED parking lights versus incandescent bulbs. Paul has made the mod, looks nice!
I dont know what bilthamber is though, I guess some sort of rust protection.
"85k, done a lot of work on her, put bilthamber cavity wax all in the panels" - Paul
Paul later informed me what bilthamber is:
"Bilthammer is a cavity wax, much better than waxoyl, it’s like an oil but sticks great." - Paul
This is what he uses: Bilt Hamber Dynax S50
He also tells me:
"I have owned her 21 years, 85k miles on it, nickname is “starry” do 2-3k miles a year, new shocks last year, yearly oil change, and filters she keeps going." - Paul
Thanks Paul for the pictures and info, always nice to get some information regarding Toyota Starlets.

Normal cheap ones has copper core in the electrod, plated with something else, for example nickel.
Scotty: platinum can easy run a 100 000 miles.
Scotty: Iridium is 6 times harder than platinum so it last evan longer
Normal is copper base and last about 20 000 miles.
The service book to Starlet says to replace every 45000 km if not Platina or Iridium.
Recommend part according to service manual: NGK BKR5EYA
Which has: Electrode Tip Material: Nickel alloy
Electrode Core Material: Copper
= will not last as long as Platinum or Iridium

Serviceintervall is 45000 km if not platina or iridum. When I changed the sparkplugs I found it was Denso K16R-U.
Now replaced with NGK BKR5EYA

”You probably know that the jap-model has the rods of the GT and the Glanza. So it has thicker rods.”
The UK 4EFE has weaker rods.

4EFE and 5EFE after 1995 have revised sump of 2.8 liter where the sump goes deeper and therefore oilsump goes deeper = better oiluptake.
(less chance of starvation)

Magnus Zachariassen:
"Not all 4efe have the thin rods, 1st Gen 4efe 88hp from the corolla have the thicker 4efte style rods :)"
"And stiffer valve springs"
"You will have a lot of fun on the stock engine with a turbo, around 150hp reliably. You can then just buy forged pistons, rods, arp head bolts, valve springs and fit them to the same 4efe. "

"Ive made 165hp reliably on a stock engine for years using a td05 turbo... ive never hit 200hp on a stock engin"
