A bulk buy on custom made ones should definitely be organised for this, I bet everyone on this forum would want some.

I would pay for some, just can't be bothered organising it.

Wishing all chinese and those celebrating chinese new year a Happy New Year!

Happy shrove tuesday too y'all

Ok, thanks a lot, i will be trying them as soon as I get home from boring lectures (yes, i am in one now )

Any more suggestions so I have a big list of things to do.

I presume turning up the revs will work but this hasn't been a problem over the past 5-6 years it has been in my family. Lol.

Hey, right my starlet sportif has started shaking when idoling. If i am sat at traffic lights or just parked up without my foot on the accelerator it judders a bit. I didn't think much of it but it seems to be getting worse, this morning it struggled to start as well. It almost feels like it is about to stall then comes back to life, maybe not enough fuel or something is getting in?

I have fitted new spark plugs on it recently so I don't think it is this. I am a poor poor student so can't really afford to take it to a garage but feel i am confident to do things on my own (and learn from mistakes ). I don't really know where to start looking for the problem so if you could list out possible problems (starting with the most basic) i can trial & error until find the solution. Hehe

Thanks a lot guys.

Stew

Mate, that is absolutely retarded, I think a new law needs to be introduced where if you catch anyone doing any kind of unlawful act to your property they are your ass and you can do whatever the hell you like to them.

I would like to see the crime rates after a year of that being in force

Hope it all gets sorted quick.

You guys have missed the most obvious car film of them all ;)

HERBIE!!! ;)

This sounds exciting, please put pics up asap.

Do the dials from a paseo just fit straight in (shape wise i mean, not wiring ) or do they require a bit of trimming, filing, etc.

Where did you get them from?

Stew.

Ohhh, this does sound rather exciting.

How much would it be roughly for a starlet sportif OEM seats, including the rear and the door cards:

In a black leather with possibly a green centre.

Stew.

Ahh, sorry guys ;)

I should really have searched before I asked, I usually do on forums, just got lazy

Thanks a lot though.

Stew.

This seems a pretty interesting thread, and I am quite interested in doing this but as I have very limited knowledge of cars, does anyone know of a How 2 or something on how to do this? Is it pretty risk free for a dumbo? Lol!!

Also, will the inlet mani off any corolla fit or does it have to be a specific one?

Thanks

Stew. ;)

Yes u certainly can use the Silvatec bulbs i have used em on both my cars and been very happy with em, ebay is normally quite well priced on em and they do look the nuts

oh and they do do them for the sides too, cant remmeber if theyr straight pins in those or not tho

Do you have any idea of the size, fittings, etc? Im a bit of a noob and don't really have a clue ;)

What's this about straight pins? I have seen the offset pins or something? Could someone please explain this to me?

Where have people got theres from? Anywhere cheap?

Thanks a lot

Stew.

Hey everyone, I have just got some clear indicator lenses but am obviously needing the bulbs to go behind them. Could anyone please tell me the best bulbs to get (silvertec??, philips silver vision??) and also where is the best/cheapest place to get them from.

Also, what bulbs can I use for clear side repeaters when I get them? Cheap place for these as well?

Please tell me what you use, where from and what you think of them.

Stew.

How much would this be? You said 165 more, how much are they in total.

Could you give me some more information please, may be interested, studenty funds a bit low though.

Stew.

Hmm, crazy, where abouts do you live?! May have been me, lol.

And also, sparky, how much would you be wanting for them? And what would I be getting? Just the covers or the whole units? And what about bulbs?

Thanks

Stew.

Ok,I have been into the toyota garage and ordered the clear indicators (I also had to get a new indicator unit for the driver side as my mum crashed it very lightly against a farm gate and a nail somehow broke the grey plastic thing that holds the light on. Breakers yards didnt have one either , damn. Anyways, the clear indicators are on their way now, I did however stupidly forget to order the clear side repeaters. I will do when go to pick up inidcators though.

QUESTION: Which lights are the best for the indicators and side repeaters, I would like ones that appear silver but flash orange if poss. Linky to good site that sells cheap please? Thanks.

Also, the england stickers are pathetic I think and def need to come off, you think they are likely to take the paint off if I peel, they dont seem like normal stickers, really stuck on good.

I am 19 by the way, just turned 19 in July. I am currently at Warwick University studying BSC Accounting & Finance (2nd Year).

I am seriously considering removing the bump strips but do you think it would be a wise idea with having to park on university car park full of bad drivers?

Thanks for the replys everyone, great place this!!

Damnnn, dats just retarded really aint it! I would be sooo annoyed if that happened, i recon we should all meet up and go on a chav hunt just to take anger out.

Hope you don't have too much trouble getting back up to standard.

Stew.

I know im newbie but I want to get involved in this, it sounds FANTASTIC!!!

I would defo buy one or two (gf will be forced to hang one )

Stew.

Hey, ok thanks a lot for all the nice replys everyone, i feel very welcome.

And Liam, sorry I was planning to add the pics last night but had to go out. The pictures however are here:

The front:

The Side:

The Back:

And of course, the car had to be cleaned so got a quite nice picture of all FIVE doors

Ok, now thats out of the way, what does everyone think?!?!

And whats this about Mikey Jays 5 door? Good thing or bad thing? Hehe. I quite like 5 doors.

And also, where should I start with modding, improving, messing? Bearing in mind I am not a car expert (yet )

Stew.

Hello everyone, my name is Stewart and I have just got my first car, and yep its a starlet

I don't really know much about it, except for its a starlet sportif 1.3 5dr 1997 model (P reg), 48000miles on clock (pretty low I believe).

I have had a browse of this forum over the past couple of days and have got to know a few things about them but I would like to know a LOT more information on them if anyone can provide any. Tell me absolutely anything, im newbie. Lol.

I will be posting up some pictures tomorrow but in the mean time if you would like to imagine it, its green and has had no alterations done to it as of yet. If you would like to start suggesting relatively inexpensive things that would make it wayyyy better, feel free to suggest.

by the way, I live in bolton, anyone from around here? I also go to university in warwick

Stew.
