  1. Im 18, been driving a year now, and my insurance for my starlet N/a is £107 a month!



    This is including 5 modifications, wheels, lowered, etc :), im with a company called General accident! Great name i know lmao!



    What's your job occupation?, if your job is a mechanic, insurance will be higher as they know, you know how to work on them.


  2. Glad your keeping this and finishing it off mate! :thumbsup: Everything's starting to come together on it and I love the way you've got it looking now, them black wheels make it look much better! Hope to see some updates from you ;)

    Cheers mate! Appreciate it :p

    Shall be some updates soon ;)

  3. Hey guys!



    Decided to throw in a little throw back before i continue my college work! Okay so here's a pic after i bought it, day after in fact, as i bought it on the night. Came with Glanza Spoiler, Glanza Rear Bumper! Spoiler is now long gone as i was gonna strip the car a while ago for bits, but decided not to. It also had a giant rev counter, which within the last few months has been taken out, due to it annoying me lol.

    However need to order some Greddy Gauges!, all oil temp, air, etc etc, and maybe boost for when i get a turbo ;) haha, anyway, gauges wont be for a few months, in which ill run a oil sandwhich plate, and replace oil filter for a HKS one. Oil change is going ahead saturday, only with a oem one for now, to tide me for a few months! It had been recently done when i bought the car, but i have done a good 6k miles now. Next little service shall involve all belts being done, all fluids flushed and changed as well.



    Ill upload a pic of some parts i have to fit, such as my Stuke Canards! This being when i get my glanza front end!



    More updates weekend! Peace :p

  4. Don't give up :)! My starlet is an extreme slow progress build.. moments I've wanted to give up, had a knock this weekend and fucked my front bumper up, thought i'd be losing her.. but no, keeping her and making her mint :)

    Hehe! I'm trying not to give up this time!, hopefully no one will damage it any more!

    Fair play! I'll be keeping a eye on your progress :p

  5. Appreciate the comments lads! Love a good selfie ;)

    Haha, hopefully I'll get this oil change done this weekend, good clean/polish, Hoover etc, and maybe paint some things in the engine bay!

    May or may not see some new purchases this weekend, depends if I get them first! :p

    Hey Guys whats up!



    So, after months and months of moaning, and changing my mind. I ended up with the conclusion of keeping the starlet for the moment! I have changed my mind like the wind, but decided to keep it for now, and actually finish something for once. This little project shall now receive updates more frequent and actually start to look a little half decent from what it first started out like. So top photo is what the car currently looks like! Budget ballin!




    So taking things from the top, bought the car on like 57k ish or something, now over 60k and actually gonna do a service on this car now. Mods have been and gone, but nothing working cant help me fund for more! Found loads of stuff i would like to order when i get money so lets see where this goes! Car has been mistreated by most people now i better try and save it! Its had like over 8 owners i think, and its about time it got some loving!,



    Re-cap



    Car was faded when purchased, got it for £500 of some hot blonde bird, not to far from me in Bristol. After driving it home i was pleased with it. You could hear the apexi air filter roar, and suck up the air. It benefited from the corolla manifold which was on there! Pulls well for a n/a and quicker than my blue one!



    A few days after purchase i tried to polish it back, nope, not a chance! Probably going to end up respraying it like my boot! As this could take a bit and i cba to type it all up! Just gonna fast forward to parts lolz,



    More updates coming each weekends, when i have money and time to work on cars. Also decided only going to upload decent quality photo's! :p

    Also have some good and bad news.

    Good: College is done! No more exams or anything ever! Which means my little nugget here will be getting some love. Might spray the front grill black first, but I'm not sure. Opinions?

    Bad: I scraped my rear bumper after trying to reverse into my garage. And it is very noticeable. There's definitely way worse damaged panels out there, but still frustrated at both the damage and myself. Might post a pic later or something.

    Like the sticker, Looks good!

    Glad the exams are done!, i got college work to do myself, but genuinely cba! need to get it done though! :p

    Get a pic up of the bumper!, I left my handbrake off the other week and it rolled into a wall lol, cant be that bad :)

  8. Cheers everyone!

    Na never fixed them, just bought some new ones.

    Well nothing's really been happening, went to tax it last weekend only to find out I've had no mot for a while, so it's been an expensive week, and the battery's fucked, and the rad cap decided to blow off and dump all the coolant out and it's got a very loud and worrying knock/bang when turning left and accelerating.

    I'm just gonna drive it into the ground I think now, literally.

    Mines got a knock/ bang when I drive and turn left aswell lol!

    I'm gonna run it, until it gets worse or shits itself everywhere lmao!
