  1. this remided me of EP91_BEN thought it was the same person but it is not (or maybe it is) http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/61966-beware-of-ep91ben-from-essex-scam-alert-help-needed-mods/



    Seems like EP91_starlet was online yesterday but no reply to this thread...what a cockchops!



    I hate dishonest people! I'm also in brum on a regular so gonna get my detective on next time I'm there and see if I can see his car about because I think I have a lead, the reliability of which depends on how stupid this guy is ...


  2. Welcome to the club mate shame u couldn't make it to the meet don't panic about mods mate mine is in primer now and all I have is a back box and sub lol can't wait to see what u do with it

    Welcome

    Cheers man. Yeah it was a shame about the meet but think it might of worked out for the best, as it turned out I didn't have any breaks left! Just bare metal, so if the alternator belt didnt snap maybe I would of fallen victim to no brakes... I just took off the side strips and stickers, damm it makes a difference even thou the glue is still on lol. picking up a spoiler and some alloys on weekend and have a spliter to fit, so hopefully you will see some things in the next few weeks, build thread up soon!

    welcome along fellow new comer :thumbsup:

    Cheers man, newbies unite!

  3. I think if you just had front speakers it might be a bit invasive, as the sound is blasting right at you. I find this when I disconect my rear speakers. I have an adapter to remove my unplug my parcel shelf speakers so I can take it out as I please. Also, just a thought you may have already though of, what about cutting a hole in the side panel cover that comes off, you know the one where the jack is?



    I dont know much about boxing speakers apart from the fact that it is complicated to get the sound spot on... I had thought about making my own sub box but was put off by all the science which made buying a box a better option. This link might help although its not specifcally for car speakers.

    If I had expensive, hi powered speakers I would get an expensive amp to compliment. But that said I would also need an expensive head unit or there would be no point... If your main concern is just getting a sound system a decent head unit and speakers will do, if you want crisp clear sounding, loud music then think about spending much more money. Also If you do choose to get an amp dont just go and buy the cheapest as the sound quality will proably be shit!


  4. Hi, I was thinking about buying a glanza front ARB to fit to my starlet na (a 96 CD, EP91) and have a couple of questions, I hope you can help.



    1. Will it fit? (need confirmation, I read in forum that they are same size but have different bolts)


    2. Is it better than the stock NA one?


    3. Will it make much difference to handling? (read forum and seems no one knows how much difference the front arb itself makes)



    I will also be getting front strut fittted at same time, followed by rear arb and strut when some cheap ones come up for sale.



    Thanks

  5. dont use an amp it will probably blow speakers... Radios have an amp built in thats suitable for most standard speakers. I just bought some 180w (peak) speakers and they run fine off my radio.



    Amp is needed if your putting in a sub woofer or if you have high wattage speakers. The sub needs much more power than normal speakers and so this is why an amp is needed.


  6. cool, not bothered how long it can adjust, was just wondering what length I'd have to adjust it to.



    I think I will have it but just gonna check forum for info on fitting etc I think I have to move some filters or something as its galnza (isn't it?).



    Will get back to you later, do you know what postage would be? I'm in leicester so drive is a bit far


  7. cheers mate, nah they came like that. bump strips are coming off though, want it to look as as f*ck

    sorry i meant did you paint them white like you said, because i reckon they look good orange with the bump strips, keep them! at least for a bit

    and it seems I aint the only one...

    I'm kinda liking the orange wheels/orange bumpstrips thing too.......bit different?

  8. Wow! Easy fix hopefully

    fixed as far as I know, but still in garage as needs new brakes, front pads were worn to metal and discs need replacing. Rear shoes were the orginals and its a 96! The mechanic said the car seems to be in great condition though for its age.

  9. Any paint shop can make it up I think, there's also an Ebay shop that does aerosol cans but I think it's quite expensive!

    Haha no worries I don't run that bumper any more anyway :p

    Get a build thread up!

    Cheers been searching internet for toyota green lol Build thread up in next week or so - once I do what I got planned.

    welcome to the club dude

    shame you couldnt make it to the meet the other night

    Cheers Ryan, yeah it was a shame, car is fixed but still in the garage because there are no brakes! pads were down to bare metal on the front and the rear shoes were the orginals! Parts ordered and will be on tomorrow...

    Welcome and enjoy your stay here

    cheers mate, enjoying it already

  10. Not sure of colour, but yeah think it is the same as yours. Will check code and let you know...



    Do you know if its easy to get paint for because I wanted to spray a spoiler I'm getting and patch up a few scratches



    Oh and just so you know I'm planing on cutting out the slats and adding mesh, but I wanted to do it before I saw yours lol


  11. cheers for the welcome smobey



    So I tried to go to my first meet on Sunday, but my alterntor broke on the way lol eneded up getting towed home... Big thanks to Ryan Lang for helping find the problem via picture message, without his help i might of carried on and killed the car! Here is my first pic lol

    This is what happened to me! had to get towed home after breaking down on the way, gutted...



    I Got 13 miles and realsied my battery light was on and car was overheating.Texted Ryan to let him know and he helped me work out the problem, big thanks for that ryan! Really grateful, if it wasn't for you I probably would of carried on driving it either home or to the meet (that was going through my mind) and I think that would of endede in tears...



    Should have it back tomorrow, fully serviced too.



    Will make it to the next one... I was more gutted about not making it than the car breaking down
