Hey everyone, Im loving the new site, good to see so many people with starlets and to be part of the community! Where to start.. lol, we\'ll two years ago I went out on search for my first car. Ive always liked Japanese cars and have seen a few toyota starlets going about but I did not no much about them. After searching I found a Toyota Starlet Sportif EP91 couple of miles from me. Went along checked it out and looked in excellent condition so I made the purchase Since then i've been on many journeys and road trips stretching the UK with friends and family. Once I've saved up some money, Id like to upgrade the car with some Technological and Mechanical upgrades Here is the car before any upgrades as standard. This was when I bought the car back in 2007 As you can see the car has the standard alloys and standard everything really Image at Ben Nevis, first long distance run. Since then upgrades are: Interior Leather Seat Covers Heated Front Seats Clunk Clip (Was standard) Red Toyota Branded Shoulder Pads Gld Painted Hubcaps and Calipers 10 magic trees in many colors F&F Aluminum Gear Shifter Blue flamed car mats 2x Pioneer 6x9 in parcel shelf @ an angle (£5 from Honda civic at scrapyard!) Exterior 15" BK Racing - 5 Spoke Alloy Wheels Low Profile "Sport One" Tires Slightly Customized "Universal Air Filter" for Improved Induction Rip speed Tailpipe (still standard exhaust) Aeroblade Front Window Wipers (meant to deflect air) Here are some photos I have taken today. Future Upgrades (Might seem abit unrealistic lol) An full exhaust system that is quiet but still has higher hp performance, if anyone has any suggestions it would be very much appreciated as im not sure the right kind to get and if I would have to upgrade the manifold to prevent bottle necks. Glanza white dashboard dials with the working tachometer (is this possible to wire up to a sportif?) 1 din carpc with Intel Atom processor for lower power consumption. This should manage: Music, Videos, Internet , Car ECU statistics, GPS and Front and rear infrared cameras from the unit (possible 5.1 sound?lol). check [i]http://www.portwell.com/products/detail.asp?CUSTCHAR1=pcs-8230 4E-FTE conversion for when my engine is on its last legs and I save save and save money. Slightly black rear Window tints Debadge front? This its good to have the toyota logo on show though. Any other ideas would be very much appreciated! I found when I stuck the 15's on there was actually less room under the arc's of the car than the standard alloys as if it had been lowered which makes me thing the standard alloys were too small before which should have been the same diameter cause of the larger tire profile. Ive not noticed any speedo difference when going through traffic radars etc. But it looks although the wheel meets the arc much nicer so it was a bonus So if you have a standard sportif / sr wheels you will probably benefit from a larger diameter even though your buying 15' which are meant to be the same diameter overall, just a lower profile. More to come thanks for reading!
Looks cool
