Dizzy

So guys I've got my varis bumper being sprayed, new headlights and jam brows. buttt, im a little bit wary of sticking lightbrows to my brand new headlights!!

I've looked at a few pics of them with lightbrows and its hit and miss :/ what do you think?? Do you prefer glanza's with or without them? (or even the ep82 ones)

And if anybody has them fitted, post a pic

just replaced these myself, did my brakes/pads all around, all from ID-Workz really well priced

Not much of an update..

Sprayed the crash bar etc matte black, and the red rocker cover was staring at me, so did that quickly too (will re-do in another colour and properly when I decide )

And fitted the new headlights, ready for my new bumper this weekend

A cool shot of it all together, make such a diff from my yellowy/grey ones lol



More next week

Rich K's progress on my wheels:

Oh, and my key ring :D haha

sweet, looking much better yo! TOMS FTW

Awesome build dude thought it was a glanza when i seen it lol. Good work looks v clean

22nd April - Fitting

A bizarre thing happend this morning. Went to tesco to buy some munch and drinks for fitting the parts, and my driveshaft started making a quite noise. By the time i got home (5 min drive) it sounded like somebody having a drum n bass party on my wheel every time i let off the accelerator. WTF!

Went to inspect it, driveshaft was a good 2" out! :/ So went to take the wheel off... all 4 nuts were loose? Wheels hadnt been touched in 4 months since i spaced them 5mm. The damn crappy alloy lugs that were on, had sheered their way down the studs fucking them up on their way :/ So the wheel came away from the hub, and the shaft came lose? Pushed it back in, fitted 4 spare lugs and studs and voila, noise gone. New item on list = decent lug nuts.

Started to fit the parts I've acquired yesterday and today. Starlets are a ballache for seized bolts and just generally being a shit!!

First things first, my new decal ;) haha



Up she goes, lifting the front end for:

New discs and pads, new track rods and ends, drop oil, change oil filter and spark plugs and braided lines.



The fuel filter didn't fit i bought the bracket just didnt line up at all, and the line in the bottom didnt match the thread, succksss. And trying to fit the braided lines, even my 10mm brake pipe spanner looked as though it was going to snap the brake pipes!! Couldnt be assed with having snaped pipes on my list of things to fix, so going to ask the garage to do them same time as my clutch (yes, i cant be assed fitting that either. :/ ) So... so far.. she was being an asshole.

Nevertheless me and my brother fitted the new discs and pads, magnetic sump plug, filter, spark plugs, etc etc etc.









Test fitted the varis front and jam eyelids, surprisingly easy to fit :/ expected a load of hassle.






Started to polish up the old intercooler for when the new front end, headlights etc are fitted to make it prettier (still pretty bad, but better atleast..)



My engine bay is full of crappy red sprayed parts, which Im not a fan off :/ so started swapping them over fo polished pipes instead.



Going to respray and desticker the strut next, removed the poorly painted old top mount bracket, and going to matte black the rocker cover. Slow, but steady progress so far.



The 6 paddle being a tempremental bitch, I thought I'd let a garage tackle this :/ Not dropping a box in the street haha



The rear discs, they were SCREWED! I hate having ABS so much more money went for OEM brakes on the back.



And the new:



So all done for now!

Get the bumper and lids of for spraying, hopefully fit them this weekend. Get the tracking done, tax and MOT it. Get the rays back from refurbers, tyre them up and fit them too

How she stands right now



Thanks for following so far

Contemplating ditching my yellow fogs too rich so maybe those on the cards too

Always wandered if they were the same colour you left it dirty so much haha. Came up stunning after a wash to b fair

Yes, big plans indeed! Gota sort this MOT first and hopefully goin in to rich K to have it brought back to showroom condition for its new front end

seen this on good old FB a while ago, pretty funny

Now that's alota bits to fit lol gonna look good dude :-)

Yee gonna keep me busy this half term lol, I've read yours and your dads threads buddy. Epic builds

This is spotless! Loving the progress man Keep going

we'll sort it richy don't worry

Need to have a good day adding stuff

Was nice meeting you on Friday mate, Lee's car was filthy on a whole new level .

Can't wait to see the bumper and headlights fitted mate!

Aamir

Same with you dude will most definitely be back again one day. with a van if we're buying bumpers haha. He actually cleaned it when we got home, the drive must of caused him not to think straight haha.

seems women are indeed fucktards.

Was with my ex for 7 years, 2 kids etc. Had a few problems (she had an affair, i earned a suspended sentence for a polite conversation with the guy i caught in my house) and moved out, she ran away with my kids and stopped me seeing them.

Buuuttt long story short I have full custody of my 2 kids now Never been happier. When they have your kids you have to play to their tune or suffer.

My advice to the guys on here without kids yet, make sure their the one you definently want to be with, having kids and breaking up can be a twat :/

On a side note, My rant is people dooring you car like its fine! sat in my car the other week, women in her 40's doored me pretty hard getting out, so i wound down the window and told her to be careful, she looked at my car and said 'its alright I haven't marked it' and walked off. If i didnt care about my car i would of doored her back 50 million times and drove off lol

That was done yesterday with the picture of all them sexy goodies from id workz haha cheers for the like dude

Haha updated my build thread on here with them got new rims too but no pics yet. Good luck with your new business though dude

Sweeeeeet this will look epic New headlights & Varis bumper

Ha ha cheers dude, Those headlights would haunt me with a new front end Never minded them until I saw new ones!

Damn that's some money spent there looks clean though

Ye... especially since it wont be any faster lol... Idree's is really reasonable if your buying a lot of stuff though and cheers dude

Ooooh sexy!!!! Cant wait to paint it!!!

I cant wait for you to paint it either!!! haha. completely forgot to mention my 14" Rays your refurbishing ahh well I'll update again when their on lol.

Welcome dude Starlets are epic fun, everyone should own one once (and many times after you regret selling your last one)

Holy crap 106 Pages!!!! Dedication man...

Bit of an update so far

First of the summer weather was getting it all messy :/ So got a friend of mine to valet it for me haha, came up well again





So now it was all clean, and its MOT and TAX is due the end of this month

So whilst getting it ready for the MOT, a few niggles had to be sorted. It needed new brakes on the back, a track rod was severely out AND seized annoyingly so couldn't be tracked properly, and well overdue an oil change. I already bought two new track rods, but needed everything else.

So I PM's Idrees @ ID Workz to sort out some items to service it, and give it a general sort out. Ordering

OE Spec - Rear Brake Discs
OE Spec - Rear Brake Pads
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
Magnetic Sump Plug 4E-FTE
OE Genuine - Oil Filter
OE Spec - Fuel Filter
OE Genuine - Toyota Red Coolan
ID-Workz Half Size Radiator Fitting Kit
Castrol Edge 5W40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil
Power Steering Belt
EBC Turbo Groove Front Discs
EBC Yellow Stuff Front Pads
HEL Braided Brake Lines

So hopefully this would get it up and running ok

On the road with Redz11 in his EP82 to go and collect our bits

Pit stop haha Lee loves keeping his car clean



So then we arrived





Really, really nice group of lads there. Cant recommend them enough! Really helpfull too. Also decided after my first conversation with idree's to pick up:

Used Blitz Rep FMIC (Always handy to have a spare right?)
6 Paddle Clutch
Varis Front Bumper (I was torn between this and a cruise, I know the varis is getting mega popular but its the one I liked most and not to bothered about being individual)
Jam Eyelids

And after seeing brand new headlights on the white glanza, I bought some of those too They made it look so much cleaner!!

Lee bought a TOM's bumper for his 82, and after a bit of fun trying to fit everything in, it was IMPOSSIBLE to fit two front bumpers in But Lee is having it sent on, so we journeyed home with Lee's car full of parts for my glanza

With the seat all of the way forward, and im not the smallest guy! the ride home was... not so comfortable..

Got to lee's, and decided to pick my car up on the way and head back to mine, but first, we decided to annoy a few people by spending over 20 minutes in the jetwash in tesco haha :/



Bumper and brows



Lee's expert mock up of how it looks together haha















Headlight Comparison:

So!

Now to get all this stuff fitted, get the bumper in for spraying, and that will be it for a little while hopefully I know everybody says that haha but I'll be happy when its running/driving nicely and looking a little diff.

Finally dude ;) welcome to the club yo!

I know dude, Huge update coming this way ;)

Off for a trip to ID Workz next week with Redz11 to pick up some essential bits, and some not so essential haha.

Will be updated with progress and work done with pics soon.

I told you this about an auto ;)

Can do it in a day buddy if we had everything ready, if your going to save cash buyin an auto do a manual conversion?
