I have new KGB shocks & apex springs recently fitted probs done 100 miles on them then this happened. They was fitted at my local car garage, I asked them if my strut mounts was good told me they was fine, I have gone back to the garage a couple of times since they have been fitted because there is a knocking noise at the rear of my car they said it is probably your exhaust. This happened today. What's bugging me is will the garage charge me again for fitting new struts:-( I hope not. Where can I get struts from ? I have had a look on eBay & it's not very clear on ordering the correct

I'm looking into getting a new exhaust system... It's going to be HKS for me:-)

I have an auto.... there not that many around anymore good luck with the sale & get them little jobs fixed, more chance in selling it that way:-)

I was going to ask them if they would like to buy my auto for £4000 if they think they can get £5000 for that haha.

as above, that's what have being try to say on your other post.

35mm drop you don't notice it, but yeah put one on if you feel it's needed.

yeah will be fine as long as your alloys are not to wide 15 6.5 is ok.

I didn't & mine is fine, if you lower more than 40mm then yeah you will need a panhard rod

Well believe it or not I haven't travelled around the whole of the uk but I do enjoy it around here:-)

Sorry is this at me? Only that I put it's superb.

No probs mate, it was someone on here that recommended them to me, he has a starlet p9 & used other springs also. Just to let you no if you do get them, when fitted it looks only lowered a bit but after a couple of good drives out they settle down nice:-)

Teins drop it 57mm & you can get them that drop 40mm loads on ebay, there not to bad with standard shocks just a bit soft, I had them on my old v, the starlet I have now I fitted new KYB Excel-G with with 35mm apex springs & I must say they are spot on for the roads, you get no harsh bangs over pot holes & the car sits very well.

As above, long hill near Buxton derbyshire is a good one for me it's very close to where I live here is a PIC of the road in the distance its superb:-)

Thanks mate I'm loving it you just don't see them like this anymore.

A little up date here, I bought some glanza alloys off fiddlersport off this forum great guy:-), I have had them refurbished they look superb l could not wait to put them on, bought a set of new wheel nuts for them & soon as I fitted them I had to go out for a test drive. here are some pics as it looks now there are still one or two things to sort till I can say its mint but its not far off that way.

I don't know much about this it's popped up on my facebook, just thought to put the link on here for people that might be interested in going:-) Squires Bikers-cafe Newthorpe Lane, LS25 5LX Leeds https://m.facebook.com/events/850254338402073?ref=6&_ft_&__tn__=C

No open:-(

I had a rover mini metro that did this I took the thermostat out & drove it like this for about 12months fine.... It was a daily shed to get me about, I did take it to a car garage & they couldn't find the problem apart from they said your head gasket might be on its way out but like I said it ran with no problems for 12 months with no thermostat in then sold the car on for cheap. So have ago at taking the thermostat out see if it settles.

Yeah you cannot expect much with it going that cheap at a dealers. They got a nice 1991 TOYOTA COROLLA GT-i 16 TWIN CAM in white there for sale, that looks smart.

I messaged them just to be nosey lol & they messaged me back with.....We buy cheap sell cheap as long as we make a drink we move on to the next. The mileage is 12800KM 79000mls

noticed this on eBay... trader selling it Toyota starlet glanza v & it is a fresh import, how can they make any money? When it costs a fortune to import these days, then you get traders selling them for £5000 to £5500. I have looked into importing a starlet & with all the costs you need about £3500 £4000. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=321791153344&alt=web

good for you get some pics up:-)

Right I see I was just wondering if you was local, i have a silver v & I often get people flashing there lights & waving at me like they know me haha

Cool... I was not in mine i was driving the misses mini, it's good to see a v around my way you don't see them often :-)
