Morgey im interested in your fitting service!

365 but how many of them actually look like SR's anymore? Matty: might see you around sometime as im only in Heckington

Rant: me with my big mouth saying that Shaun's ep95 was too expensive and now it's only 2500 but i've now got another project taking up the storage space over the winter 2500 seems a decent price to me.

Crikey never seen anything like this!

Ah my god the sr interior is pure rats! Completely agree, it's the worst interior ever! The 335d i test drove comes a close 2nd though with half yellow/black and walnut. Oh and a 14 grand price tag!

poo

ah yeh was going to mention him but couldnt remember his name, was a druggy waster lol who pissed it all up the wall. probs had a lot of fun doing it but not the way id do it lol

ha ha well they are nice cars but not my thing either. now if it was an f40 with hybridised turbos and uprated intercoolers then i'd be interested I think most of us prefer putting our stamp on a car and not just buying something and posing around. Before me and my lass got together she thought i liked to drive around and pose in the gt4 but once she came in the car she realises i just like driving and if a race pops up then even better

Oh yeh dont get me wrong i'm all about the under dogs and sleepers. For me though, once you've spent a shit load of money that adds up to more than the car that you're racing is worth then it loses a bit of the charm for me really. it's still funny to see any car that people have already decided will lose, then go on to smash 'the better car' though. Toned down Starlets are up there with the best of the sleepers in my opinion but to be honest most people know that a decently tuned glanza or gt can do nowadays so i dont think they massively suprise people in the know anymore. Still fun against

Similar thing to you ollie but: Magazines or in car adverts where it says 'evo' killer or 'scooby' slayer! But in reality (and this goes for all potentially modded cars) - it depends what the bloody thing is running that you're racing! comments like that wind me up as they are basically saying the car in question can beat any evo/scooby or whatever that's on the road! Redline mag was the worst for this lol but i did think that mag was actually pretty good for testing mods etc. oh and wank street racing vids on youtube that look like they've been filmed with calculators and hurrendous naff

Thanks, pm'd

This is what I'm talking about, this is how they should be! Where abouts are you in Derbyshire? Thanks Jase

And just out of interest, are you still able to get hold of 4paws through your friend?

V v impressed buddy excellent work

kind of has changed to a 4paw disc but it's far more interesting. On the subject of engine swaps etc- is it just the same conversion into an N/A? You'll have to get some pics up of yours Shorty

Yeh definatly, I appreciate that. With 300 in yours I'm sure you'd pull on the straights for sure. I mean I put the celica on a diet but nothing mental, think it was near on 80kg lighter-the back seats are basically just cussions lol. I think if I get it back ill probs go mad with it tbh and it might not see the road or track for a while. But it's the thought of spending so much money on it- it needs around 6k funnily enough as it's been sat outside the lads house for two years bought it standard and built it up from there so a lot of time effort and money in it not to mention love. I'm an

ha ha as i've said shorty if i get my hands back on my old one then i'm up for a gentlemans challenge. would be great to see what the 95 could take. good tht you've got a spare, guess that relieves a bit of the worry with breaking it. Would love to drive a well sorted 95 with around 250-260 and see how it compares to other things i've driven/owned as quite rightly people have pointed out that i havn't driven one. The gt4 set up is ok standard but just swapping the srings and rear ARB help massively and i dont think i've driven anything that comes close for the feedback it gives you along with

Ah ok Paul fair play if it was a good friend of mine on top of something i believe in then I'd feel the need to back them up to really to be honest. I'm pleased we've all calmed down a bit. Maybe I havnt been choosing the best words so far lol. How close is the sr to being back on the road? Morgey has a point though and I too would like to see the 4wd system developed further. the problem is that because of their rarity i doubt many people are going to want to chance a bit of experimenting. Independent rear suspension on these would be a game changer too i suspect. As im sure we've all seen

I agree Dave ha ha every time a car goes up for sale on here it's like 'ah nice car mate good luck with the sale' some of them fucking need all the luck they can get! And for god sake why can't anyone see that I do get the appeal of a 4paw-- I wanted to buy one at the end of the day but am just not willing to part with that much money for one!! So all I was saying is that it's pretty much shattered my dreams for ever buying one as well as all this abuse! Paul me and you have really got on in other threads but you've completely lost it in this one, maybe it has got out of hand but I don't see

Why do people think I can't afford it? And This is the rant section! Where you are actually ment to be allowed to rant! If I put 6k into that ep95 on top of paying 3500 for it and put 6k plus the difference I'd save on the celica then that starlet would touch it for dust. And I could list a hell of a lot of 2nd hand cars that would. I do agree that buy cheap buy twice I get it but that's not what this is about. I've tried to be nice about things but you're actually fucking pissing me off now!! It's my opinion, I havnt bitched on his for sale thread and actually said good luck with the sale.

Oh dear thought I might get responses like this. Look guys at the end of the day it's a lot of cash for what it is. And actually I'm very well sorted with my knowledge of all toyotas especially starlets thanks as I used to own one!! But I came here looking to dabble with them again and I can't find a decent one that is a reasonable price for both parties. I sold my celica for just under 6k and it was a weapon and extremely clean. I can afford the asking prices of all the starlets I've looked at but walked away because of their poor condition be it body work or tatty engine bays and rubbish i

Over priced starlets!!! Here comes some abuse my way I think but never mind as I'm giving up on the starlet dream. In light of my recent attempts to find a decent starlet at a reasonable price and the latest ep95 for sale price I can't bite my grumpy old man tongue anymore! Ep95: 3500 for whats basically a heap with 4wd thats impossible to find spares for. you wouldnt pay that for a fucked tommy mak evo in the same state so why pay it for that? It is a lot of cash and I know they are rare but this for me has put the final nail in the coffin for my ep95 project dreams. If I have to pay even 3

Good luck with the sale mate I do understand it's a big project to let go and trust me I've been there. But.... Ill write the rest in the rant section I think!

Matt are you after another already?

Ha ha think he lives in a dream land! It is a limited edition 'WRC' engine from an st205 ill give him that but was never fitted to the st185 sainz edition and def isn't runnin 650
