good luck mate hope it all goes well

very clean starlet there mate and welcome to the dark side of the black v
your bro is defo right the car must have a policey to be coverd third party when driven by anyone fully comp on there policey.
a good company to try is tett-hamilton. you can get the number from the back of banzai mag and other places. they are very fussy about who the cover must be 21+ clean licence ect but i had my first v at 21 fully comp £650 group 17 covered as starlet import glanza v turbo. so you should have no probs.
hope that helps a little ;)

dont be to put of a high mile car, i imported mine privatly with about 100,000miles on and although i swaped the engine for a foged lump the old one ran sweet as a nut bit of a shame realy, also a fair few low millage ones are clocked as has already been said the engine is bullet proof if looked after.

Hmm...nice choice of phrase rice rockets will make u popular!
Nor does the racing impress us (if on a road), not does calling em slow for that matter - why would you want one?!
and trust me unless your 21 plus with a few years NCB they aren't cheap to insure
agreed
-
hey and welcome
you have joined one of the best sites for help and advice so dont think any one is being to harsh, they are all out to help you get the best from having a starlet. its not just the turbo side thats pricey its the imported car part. insurance sucks!!

-
sweet sweet car mate, looks well clean
-
nice car mate, she looks very clean!!!

no it just has a starlet aftermarket frame i just meant that it wasnt an expensive buy when you think of how much the starlet aftermarket frames like zep's retail for. soz my bad
-
yea it is. a guy got big power on the aus starlet club from one.
if that dont happen though may go for a td05 wich is the same agian (upgraded scooby turbo)
-
cheers guys. and soz to all who lost out on the seat
@Rob Bee*R - it revolves around a scoob turbo but cant say to much
oh sod it im no good a secrets im having a wepr mani and decat with external w/g and a vf28 will either be awsome or crap lol!!
-
yea soz mate i get a lil carried away some times. and your right it was alot but a zep subframe is £199 so was kinda worth the money.................
.................i think....
-

Cheers for pointing that out mate, but I dont know if thats a good or bad thing. O well, not alot I can do about it now, its drives nice so I cant complain.
