    Jakub's Red Starlet S

    Just waiting for my 40mm lowering springs to arrive hopefully they will sit nicer than the apex 35mm springs.

    Aside from that going to sort out a few things before japfest at the end of this month

    Going to get bonnet lifters, new tyres, alignment and a few bulbs that need changing. DD6D1F6A-CDD7-4F37-8D1F-F62CFBD7240B_zps

    After this I very luckily managed to get a great swap deal with a good friend of mine for his reflet back lights for a north face jacket (mad deal if you ask me) and straight away fitted them in

    A huge improvement over the standard na lights! Only problem being I had to sort out orange indicator bulbs due to the clear lenses.

    So after the front end was sorted a little bit more it was only right to start on the back end, with money shortages it took a while to progress but it all adds up eventually. So I ended up getting a straight through exhaust system with 2.25 inch exit I believe, very very raspy and super loud!! Not something you want arriving home late trying to not wake up the whole of the neighbourhood!!😤

    After that it was only right to sort out a splitter for the front end, so I ended up getting one of a mate and it's a Renault espace splitter (I believe do not quote me on that) which is on the chunky side and still not 100% sure about it to this day but it's made the front end look a lot tidier

    Here it is the day it got put on

    So first of I started by transferring all of the parts I had from my old starlet onto this one, i.e. Suspension, wheels and eventually boot lid.

    So here's when I put my suspension on (apex 35mm springs) got my wheels back on with 195/50/15 tyres 7j front and 8j rear

    Wind deflectors,

    By this point I had got a pair of GT Turbo seats on ep91 rails

    12x6 import plates

    Sprayed front grill black

    Yeah that's why I went down the suspension route, got brand new all round kyb shocks with lowering springs and 195/45/15's all round it handles so well, can go into a corner at like 80 and it handles it fine (dependant on tightness obviously)

    shall I strip my ep91 na??

    All the plastics in the back weigh fuck all anyway tbh, only thing that weighs a decent amount are the back seats and shelf, apart from that the plastics are minimal, mines currently running decent already, 90 in 3rd with rolla inlet and cold air feed

    I've got a starlet ep91 na and I would like to keep the standard exhaust manifold and the whole exhaust system standard but I would like to change the back box to something with a larger exit, 2.5" perhaps, what diameter is the exhaust system on a na and what inlet would I need to the back box? Hope it makes sense 😂

    Passed my test a few months back now and been searching for a starlet for a good 7 months now, finally came across a bargain at £200 with no log book and a few things needed doing but it's all within the fun of owning a jap
