Charlies 99 Ep95 (on the road)


Recommended Posts

SHES HOME!

picked her up today, the drive back was a good laugh, geo also picked up his new ep and we had a lot of fun all the way home lol. Its pretty immaculate! apart from 1 little scuff on the rear near side arch. not a problem tho as i have some bbits and bobs to be sprayed ill have that touched up too.

My first impression it just seemed like any other fwd starlet until i hit some bends it feels planted but still a bit boaty due to the comedy suspension, I really dont have the courage to go throwing it into corners with the standard suspension and skinny 13 inch wheels!

It really does drive like a new car is pretty nippy, even in higher gears which i was quite surprised with, that short ratio box is awsome i found myself hitting the speed limiter (a bit quicker than i imagined) a few times which was also surprising.

I had a wee practice at launching it (couldnt help myself :) ) im quite amazed by the grip i dumped the clutch at 4k and it just flew! BRING ON THE BOOST!

all in all im f***ing delighted with it and cant wait to get started properly.

when i got it home my mrs was out and i didnt have my keys so I've lowered it already lol. well the front anyway and im going to fit my seats and steering wheel, glanza skirts and rear bumper 2moz.

oh and i found another optional extra in there. The ashtray is like suede inside lol

i am quite liking the starlet front end tbh especially with the crystal headlights but ive got it in my head what i want and everythings just about baught now anyway. all i need to start the build is wiring looms and management.

@ greame aye the way down was a white knuckle ride lol good laugh tho apart from when i got smacked in the head by a stray stone that came in the sunroof! :p:)

cant believe hes selling it already, hes only had it 3 months, and hes using the pics i used to sell it, apart from the interior shot, i sold it with the oem wheel.

Greame i can see u in 1 again soon aswell, why else would you be going through starlets on PH? lol

at geo thanks man, it looks loads better already, cant wait to drop the back end, possibly fit the skirts 2moz :) also im still not too hot on the arm rest. Ill give it a week or so and see if i get used to it and let you know

i think the optional arm rests are horrible in starlets they just look cheap and are pointless, they don't even fit very well.

nice to see another ep*5 on these shores, good luck with it!
