Starlet Rep Build Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi there guys, I picked up my first starlet the other day for a steal price of £250! - Paintwork is near perfect- Bodywork is a good 8/10 - 125k miles- Drives and runs like a dream Plans for the car are to build a Glanza Rep Big plans for this car so I will keep you all up to date! Thanks Andy. This is how the car started out.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Rep Build Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 A little update I purchased a full Glanza body kit. All of the parts for the bodykit will need to be prepped for spraying as i'm keeping the car the same colour (Toyota blue 8L5) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet Rep Build Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Right guys a little update! - Wheels are on (test fit) Rota Grid 16x8 - Livesports spoiler (test fit) - All parts are back this week from the bodywork/spray garage In need of a little help, I'm about to buy some coilovers but the min drop on them is 50mm but by the look of the gap in the arch that should be okay? Here are some photos! Any feedback would be great! Andy. Edited May 21, 2017 by Starlet Rep Build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 That could be a little close lol. Nice to see another local car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Rep Build Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 That could be a little close lol. Nice to see another local car I recon i could get away with it though? i don't think it will be sat too much in the arches, the front is mega high its just the rear what might rub a little Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 You could always set the dampers a little harder to minimise rubbing. Worst case scenario you'll need to do a bit of rolling. Have you got an adjustable pan hard rod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Rep Build Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Right guys I was going to do updates often but never got round to doing it! Here's the build near enough complete..

jimmymac101 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Looking fresh man! Just flicked through posts above ... did you buy the coilovers in the end? My advice to finish this off .... more lows 😂James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thats killer man looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 That will rub. I had 16x8 with d2 coukovers and rubbed even with panhard. Will need to do something with the arches Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Rep Build Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thanks for the Advice and feedback guys, I ended up getting lowering springs and shocks (60mm) all round, perfect drop in my opinion.If there's any rubbing I will just get the arches rolled no big deal.
