I see there is a Toyota caldina GT in the background, i use to have one of them for a short while 😀
-
I'm normally not to keen on body kits but on that Uno i think it looks good haha it would just look to plain without it, that's what i think anyways.
It reminds me of the pug 205 dimmer.

Is your exhaust stainless steel from cat back, standard exhaust isn't stainless also the original exhaust system has heat shields around it.
-
Take a picture of the back of your car, if it's HKS you have got a very nice exhaust there, the standard glanza exhaust at the back looks like a little oval tip.
-
Do a couple of pics of your suspension if you can, yeah just someone sticking a badge on mate and fitted some mods on it.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352031199608

To low that man, your shocks will bust in no time and the ride will be horrible, 35 or 40 if you must.
-
Not seen an uno on the roads in ages, i forgot about them must have a nosey on eBay now.
With the glanza there known for not the best car for handling, nice and comfortable though, but all this changes with a couple of mods, like decent shocks and lowered springs make a big difference and if you don't go to low with them you still get the comfort for UK knackered roads lol.

I'm the same with the fto it's the semi auto 2.0 v6, I've not really travelled that far in it yet, I recon its not going to be good on fuel but one good thing for me is I bought it for a weekend toy to tinker about with, it will be more of a garden ornament haha
-
haha yeah good fun at first but it soon where's off when your always filling up lolhaha Mart1, I'll probably be putting those pipes back in then haha.
-
Your welcome :-) its better for the auto to have hi/lo boost, the auto can be quit thirsty so most of the time I drove my old v on lo boost.
-
Take a look at this link then you will see what I mean with missing pipes on the left side from the pics, little blue pipes on this one.

Just a couple of rubber pipes missing on your high & low boost, must be blocked off so its on full turbo boost all the time, a lot of people tend to do this trick but just cross over the pipes not take them off, apart from that it's all there mate.
200hp is safe for the auto however yours has done some miles so go careful with the old dear lol
Mine was the same when doing an overtake Felt the car wanting to pull me off course, I never really found why sometimes it did this, one's I blamed it on the cats eyes that's in the roads, around my way on the country roads they stick right out lol and you feel them when you go over them so I'm sure a cats eye chucked my car right over to the other side of the road, my old v seemed OK in a straight line.

Welcome, get a progress thread up😉
Plenty of people on here to help if you need it.

Welcome, sounds like you have got a nice motor there🙂

That charade was a ridiculous price when it was at £8999 then I seen it up for sale with stating new reduced price of £9999 haha wtf

I know where your coming from mate with regards to genuine mileage but if you can get your hands on a japan car import de-registration form on the car then that's normally good to go off with the true milage and if you can find out if the car went through an auction and at what grade. That's what I tend to go off if I was to buy off a fresh import trader that is, but if they cannot tell you anything and they imported the car then more than likely they have clocked it,If you was to buy from a private sale though there's not much chance of finding this sort of stuff out unless any paper work to backup.Don't assume just because a car is a fresh import its a better car than one thats been in the UK for a while. Also mileage isn't always a good indicator to go on. Rough starlets can have strong engines and vice versa. Mine was bought off a infamous seller on here, loads of cars had issues from him but mine had a strong engine. Important thing is you weigh up whats worth more, clean shell, good engine etc unless something ticks all the boxes!
Import papers aren't really that important, they arent a definite indication of the cars actual mileage
-
You'll be fine then with your other half, shame he hasn't got any import papers, I would ask if he imported the car or who imported it or did he just buy the car in the UK? I normally like to buy a car that's got some import papers such as the car import de-registration form which backs up the milage before the car gets to the UK because some people clock them when they arrive in the UK before re register.
Also ask if he knows at all if the car went through jap auction and what grade? But if he just bought the car from the UK then obviously he's not going to know much about it's history.

Your welcome, if you need to know anything else I'm happy to help if I can:-) if you do go and view the car then I would advise to take someone in the know about cars, its a mine field out there lol
Good luck

Can i just let you know, i have just done a MOT history check and the milage states 11 February 2017 135,444 Kms but back in 14 November 2015 it says 152,380 Kms hmmm you need to ask what's going off with the milage?.
From the past MOT history though nothing to bad standing out from what i can see.
Do you know how to go on gov mot history check? It's on the net just put the reg in P435CCT and Toyota then you will see MOT history.
-
No problem :-) if its as nice as he says it is and you buy it you have done well, not many crop up like this these days.
Coming back to the starlets

That's what you normally need to put down these days, well you do around my way in Derbyshire, and that's for a little 2 bed house.
