    This is just the people that got tickets for 2020 I believe so I'm unsure how may will turn up 

    Well I'll be there, but be coming back from holiday so won't have the starlet, but will come meet you guys. 

  2. I'll be at japfest, didn't think anyone would be going, never seems to be any activity here anymore in regards to events. Seems to of died a bit over the years. 

  3. Yeah I know what you're talking about, but the high lift cam is from the acis version of the 5efhe engine is what I was saying. But high lift only really works at high revs and benefits bhp, I'm aiming for a nice torque curve, and don't want to increase the rev limit. 

  4. Well, got a 5efhe full exhaust system, wasn't expecting the back box and tail pipe to be so big, 5efhe injectors, and a couple lightened pulleys. 

    Just need to wait for the other parts to turn up, but probably won't get everything cleaned up and put on for a couple months.

    But it's a start, struggled so much to source these parts, used to be an easy task, now it's near impossible.

  5. Well, her plans are to tidy her up a bit first (faded plastics, deep clean) get some service work done (bearings, oil change, filters, timing belt, plugs, etc.), Then start on styling and tuning.

    On the styling side she's already got wind deflectors (who hasn't), but going to get a sunroof deflector also, as the noise is horrendous, but it's so nice having it open. She came with the optional extra MOMO alloys (but will need a real refurb as have bits of damage and only been sprayed without filling and smoothing), and I miss the winky faces shed had so getting some for her, and I don't have any ideas beyond that, untill I have money for Glanza body parts.

    As for modifications, got a pipercross panel filter, got lightweight water and alternator pulley, have a 5e-fhe full exhaust (manifold to tailpipe) to pick up this weekend, then need to source 5e-fhe throttle body (or 4a-fe), 4e-fe tubular intake manifold, certain set of corolla (or Glanza) injectors, piggyback ECU (emanage blue probably), and humming and haring over whether to take a risk on blown coilovers and trying to rebuild them, or just get springs as need comfort and height when heavy laden, and then go from there.

    Got ideas, just need money and to source parts.

     

    And the GLS come with better interior in a lovely colour, same on door cards, clear corners, rev counter, chrome trim in various places (handles, grill, window seal, dash, door cards), can't remember what else, but the interior alone and rev counter make a huge difference, and Chrome door handles make a subtle but  nice look. GLS is top spec for a reason, that's for sure. 

  6. Well, half a year down the line things went a bit sideways, had to strip and get rid of the old girl, project shed had a lot done to her, but money and loss of my licence forced to her demise, but many people got her organs at good prices (especially looking at today's costs 😱) but, after 5 years of no starlet in my life, and happy riding around on a Honda from, I saw an offer I just couldn't stay away from, and a beautiful base to try and replicate and improve with where project shed was going, the desire to drive near 100hp out of the amazing 4efe she hides, but this time I found a GLS, 5 door so can strap roof bars of her for camping, but oh how I missed driving a starlet, so bye went the grom, and here she is.
