t'mill

I did it the other way around!! (apart from mines only an SR rep)

Bloody 'ell that looks box fresh man 👍

If you look on the inside of your wheel, it'll say the offset near the hub

I know what you mean pal. If I'd have kept my XR2, Scirocco, Nova SRs, Mk2 GTI, Mk1 Astra GTE, Uno Turbo, etc, I'd be a rich man! Lucky I did have the foresight to keep my S1 Escort RS Turbo though which has appreciated nicely. Have to echo your comment on new cars not being as interesting to drive as the older stuff. We have a new Focus 1.5DCi eco-boost at work, and despite it being noticeably faster than my Starlet NA, I'd still prefer to drive the Starlet. It's just more fun and engaging

Ooooooh nooooo! I remember the Hormann kitted efforts back in the day. Oh dear, they haven't aged well!! For me it's a stock looking Mk1 that floats me boat. Preferabley in the turquoise/blue colour Unfortunately UnoTurbos have nearly disappeared with price tags to match for reasonable Mk1 survivors. Last 2 I've seen were both up at £9,000, which is ridiculous amount for a car that was considered crap back then haha

That looks wicked! What a great idea to do an SR tribute. It even looks 'factory' as if Toyota rolled the SR model onto the Corolla. Top effort. Hope you have better luck sourcing Speedlines than I had when doing my replica Had to settle on some BBS rims in the end.

Welcome pal. Your car looks super clean. What rear spoiler is that?

The Uno's were a real hoot man!! Even though it was 22yrs since I had mine, I still miss it. Just a bummer the Glanza's and GT's are relatively pricey for a good un, otherwise I'd snap one up.

This caught my eye a while back on eBay (or Gumtree, I forget) as it looks soooooo retro cool. Wicked use of Mk1 Golf GTI alloys too Good luck with the sale. I'd love this on my drive....if I didn't have 3 cars already!

It's prob more a £1500 car from what he said then.

I really fancy a Glanza to take me back to that Mk1 Uno Turbo feel back in the day. I imagine they feel very similar, but even better!

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you've got a nice cheeky little project on your hands. I bet the autos feel wicked on the road. Proper rev n go!

Welcome to the forum pal. I'll look forward to the build.

Good to know. Thanks for the info chaps

How much are the Cusco bars? I can only find a Whiteline on eBay at £118

What did he make of that white one out of interest?

bump ^^

Can anyone point me to where the ignition coil is located please? I've had a good shufty in the engine bay but can't see it.

I'd have happily paid a £200 maximum for a set of 4 (with or without tyres) if they didn't need a refurb. I was looking for ages to finish off my SR replica but they just don't come up often.

I'd be way to embarrassed to be seen driving that SX pal. Looks like an ape built it in a shed with hammers. If it were a stock SX with good mileage in excellent nick, I'd prob lean towards a swap as like you say, all the SXs are creeping up in value, just look at how much a mint low miler 200 goes for. But there's the caveat, they do need to be in great condition and as close to standard as possible. And that's down to the drifting scene (or apes with hammers) ruining most of the 240's/200's which hasn't left many good examples left.

Would be rude not to, it's a big birthday after all!

Keep us updated with progress pal if you could (preferably with photos) as I fancy a rev counter too.

I was like you. Was into it back in the day then had the usual mid life thing where you start to look back on a happier time! Then one evening over a few beers and the t'interweb, me an a mate got to reminiscing about RC when we were kids, and before we knew we were ordering all sorts!

Yeah I'm chuffed out how they came out. Took inspiration from the Mk1 MR2. Thought it may give the car a 'phatter' stance, but I think I need lowering and spacers for that!
