bucketep91 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 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!

Jeroen W. Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Don't think the Glanza Seats will fit.. I have 4x4 Seats Starlet (Like the Glanza seats) but i needed to make a brace to make them fit.1 point at the seats is not fitting that's wy.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 yeah the seats in this thing are shit! my arse was killing from the drive home yesterday, I've got a set here i can use ill sort something out for subframes. are the glanza 1's different to the 4x4s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeroen W. Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Yes..You have 4 bolds on the Chassis.. and the one on the back more to the side of the midle console is different..That's because of the 4WD axel.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 i just gave it ago with the seats from my GT and they almost fit, they bolt up perfect at the centre consol sides (both bolts) but the other 2 are just over an inch out. not much in it tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Don't mean to high jack this but I think I have the no smoking ash tray to ;) with the velvet insert, it had a gold sticker on the front but I peeled it off was this a Toyota original sticker?

Bean Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 thanks mate!the look of the arm rest doesnt bother me, it just gets in my way alot because im not used to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
