  1. Yeah I never got around to fitting them. I have the door cards / glass / window regulators / central locking mechanism / Denso door & window control module. I think that's everything you need. Send me a PM and we'll discuss a price ok. Cheers Chris
  2. I know it isn't as good looking as some of the other manufacturers but i was never one for style over substance. Its got a massive spec for the £8k price tag Alloys, air con, remote central locking, electric windows front and rear, electric mirrors, front fogs, ABS, adjustable height drivers seat, adjustable steering wheel, 6 air bags, 6 speakers, mp3 CD player with aux-in, 5 doors, plenty of storage, a decent boot, a 5 year warranty, £35/yr tax. I've driven one and it's a great little car.
  3. No sorry mate, they went ages ago
  4. I'm afraid my starlet is going off to the big scrapheap in the sky I've been seduced by teh government scrappage scheme and pick one of these up in 3 weeks. I'll miss my super Starlet but it's just too good an opportunity to miss.
  5. Jacked it up at my Dad's and found the problem immediately. I must have been pretty central on what I hit as all front suspension is fine. It has taken a chunk off the gearbox but just a fin thankfully (1/4" to the right and I'd have been screwed). It has scraped the cat (but still ok) and dented the middle section. It scraped the underside of my 'half-full' petrol tank (if it had gone through, metal on metal, sparks plus petrol, doesn't bear thinking about ). So far, not so bad. And finally... The back axle/anti-roll bar/wheel hub assembly was a lovely banana shape The back wheels we
  6. Driving to a party last night in the dark and the rain and I drove over something that went BUMP...Scraaaaaape underneath the car. It now feels like I'm driving on a skidpan and I'm constantly having to correct the steering to stay straight. Also my passenger seat no longer slides violently forward when I lift the lever, it's gone stiff. I must have really messed something up underneath for it to affect the seat rail alignment in the car right? I now have to find a garage on the Sunday before christmas that can have a look and tell me what I've done and then try to get it fixed for christ
  7. I made sure i got his...so he can do my service again next time How do you know, are you watching him? It certainly did mate
  8. Went to pick up my car after its service today and it took me half an hour to get out of there. The mechanic insisted on putting the car back up on the lift to show me all the things underneath that he can't believe are so clean :angry: I'm not normally smiling 2 minutes after parting with cash but I was this time. He just kept going, "Look at this, it's not even got any rust on it!" and "These normally have splits in them!" and "You can still see the sticker on that!" and "That still looks brand new and they normally rust for fun!" I suppose it's to be expected on a car that's done less t
  9. you need police bikes against something like that, the only thing that could match (and exceed) the acceration of the car. At least until they could get a chopper in on the action, you cant outrun them fookers ha ha
  10. You are a star mate, thanks for those, might be a while now before I get it all sorted but I can drill the door and have the wiring in place for when i source the glass. Muchos Gracias Amigo Monkey
  11. I will have to drill a hole in the door and car for the wiring to pass through as I convert my Sportif to Central locking and electric windows from the SR. I would like to get an idea where the wiring exits the door at the hinge and travels across inside the rubber gaitor to the car. If someone could take me some piccies, I would really appreciate it Cheers Chris
  12. Sorry I snaffled the crystals from Idrees, it does help only being a 30 minute drive away. Will hopefully have them on for the Huddersfield meet on Sunday. I think those protectors look pretty sweet actually, I have headlight protectors on my motorbike headlight and it they have been a godsend when my mates Ninja flicks up stones at 150!!! I have bodywork protectors on the front fairing for the same reason.
  13. I should be there mate 5) Monkey
  14. I saw it today mate, looks like brand new!
  15. No problem mate, I'll ring him tomorrow.
  16. Oh if anyone knows how to remove the bump strips on the side in photoshop, I'd like to see that too. Ta Chris
  17. Having just picked up uber bargain of the century I would now a little sneak preview of how the speedlines will look on my car Borrowed the pic above from Bourkey's NA Build thread, cheers mate
  18. If you fancy doing the clocks yourself, I did a really detailed how2 with loads of pics and I'm happy to give anyone any additional help or advice, it's a really worthwhile mod I reckon. I've already told Joz but I feel the need to gloat, the door cards, switches, speedlines and the alloy gear knob that he threw in to 'sweeten the deal' cost me only £130.....for the lot Joz said I've had a 200% bargain I'd like to, can you just lay something over the top of what is already there? How would you fasten it down, glue, staples etc.? Has anyone on her done a how2 that I've missed? I
  19. Picked up my SR door cards from the breakers this morning As soon as i pick up the door internals from Bourkey, I'll be rockin' and rollin'! My breaker had a little surprise for me when I got there He's just got another SR in this morning so I grabbed these: They have virtually brand new Pirellis on them and very few marks so I won't need to refurb. They were at a price that i really couldn't refuse and i assume they give me a bit more 'Starlet Kudos' than my current rims? If anyone is after any SR clocks or a mint TTE spoiler let me know and I'll get a price for you. Chris
  20. Paseo clocks 'How 2' now complete, click here
  21. OK guys and girls, having finally sorted the Paseo clocks, here is the definitive 'How 2' for fitting them into your Starlet. White dials baby!! I recommend that you disconnect the battery before starting, to ensure that you do not short anything or set off the airbag once wires are exposed. 1. Remove the 2 srews that hold on the clock surround 2. Remove the clock surround 3. Remove the 3 screws that hold the clocks in place 4. Remove the 4 screws that hold the dash panel in place 5. Press in the tab to remove the fuse holder 6. Unclip the bonnet release cable A and pull out th

  23. I'm the IT helpdesk (posh title - Desktop Support Analyst) for a pharmaceutical company with about 300 staff. Only on secondment in the job at the mo but should be made permanent before Christmas (been with the company 7 years). They are looking at pushing me into loads of training almost straight away to become the site Applications Management Analyst looking after all the Oracle databases and stuff. If all goes well should be earning just short of £30k this time next year Shizzle my nizzle! (what does that actually mean? )
  24. Getting my SR springs off Bourkey once his Tein's arrive for Christmas Happy days! Also gonna do a swap to SR door internals / cards / switches as the lack of central locking and keep-fit windows are pissing me off. Door cards and switches look like coming from a breakers, internals from Bourkey again (cheers dude ) Decided to go the lazy route on the sub front, it looked like a royal pain in the arse to try to build an enclosure for the sub I got off my mate so I bought a brand new, ready made enclosure and sub off ebay. Only cost me £35 plus p&p so probably worked out not m
