I don't really know that much about handling/suspension, although I do know the bare basics of it. Well I've seen it mentioned a few times that Starlets handle like poo, and I've felt it myself, going above 60mph round bends (me being a passenger) it does feel as if there is no grip and no weight holding you down. Lower profile tyres and getting more rubber on the road is the first thing, which I'll have in a couple of weeks when I buy alloys+tyres (currently on standard wheels and tyres). And then of course there's lowering. Fairly straightforward. But what after that? I know of strut br

watch out your girlfriend will be jealous it's just one of those dodgy emails mate

I don't get it

don't ever compare a Toyota to a Volvo

Nice, looks waaaaay better than standard GT front end. Glanza bonnet + lights with some mesh in place of the grill?

ditto even though I'd miss it anyway

If I was in your position I'd f**king move out of the country, that would piss me off so much, I've also been waiting for a few years, it seems like it's taken forever...atleast I've only got 3 months to go until I'm 17. Just depends on what month they decide to change it, march is pretty early in the year so you'll probably just miss it unless they decide to be assholes and do it like in january or something...

Looks better with the lip, although black wheels don't ever look as good on pictures as they do in real

was a joke mate do you live near any tracks? it might be easier to find a lockup place near to a track so you can leave it there so it's nearer the track (if it's a write off I assume you're not going to be fixing it up for road use?) because if it was me I'd just leave it near a track, saves the hassle of having to transport it round everywhere (assuming it's not going to be road legal)

Strip the whole lot out, put the engine in the middle and make it RWD although that could be expensive

not sure how much power you'll gain but you'll defo get better response from it

PM'd you about the air filter, but no reply, did you not get the PM? haha I spoke to soon, just got a reply car is great by the way, you should get a vid of what the exhaust sounds like

ste91@hotmail.co.uk just let me know you're from here or I'll be wondering who you are

Just a personal preference thing but if it was me I'd get rid of those rediculous (in my opinion) spoilers, and get a standard Glanza one. Other than that it looks amazing, no other word for it, love the colour and love the wheels.

I'm no mechanic either but I do have a bit of knowledge, and I don't know all that much (compared to some people on here) about the engines you mentioned. But I guess I can try to give you some help (I'm bored and it's 3:45 AM, lol). You can use the inlet manifold from Corollas (ae111 I think, it's the bug eye'd style one) on Starlets, which will give you better top end performance, and is an easy fit it's just a matter of taking the old one off and bolting the new one on, there's loads of topics around here which give you all the info you need. If you could get hold of a 4EFTE that would g

not a fan of that kit or bonnet vent and especially not the spoiler interior is nice though, not sure on the rims just noticed something else (being picky I know)... all that bodywork but he still has orange indicators? all in all it does look good, just not my sort of thing

Did you write down the details from the ad on AT? Like in the description where it tells you how many miles it's done, what colour it is, what condition it's in and all that, did it say anything along the lines of: "runs fine, good condition, no problems" I'm sure there's things you can do about it if he claimed there were no problems when there is, how much did you pay for it? How much tax and MOT when you bought it? Because it looks to me like he's had problems with it and flogged it so he doesn't have to sort them out himself, especially if the tax is nearly up.

could always give him some "party trick treatment"... spray water on his windows then roll toilet paper down them so it sticks and completely cover his windows, he'll wonder what's happened when he goes downstairs the next morning and opens the curtains if he has a front garden that isn't concrete or something, get a few bags of plastic forks and stick them all in his lawn superglue his letterbox shut and the same for his door knocker if he has one etc... harmless but hilarious (if you find things like that funny) on a more serious note, is this bloke you're talking about the one wh

I'm not quite sure what you're tryin to say there, but have you tried drilling through the old screws? If they're plastic you shouldn't have too much trouble drilling through them with a cordless drill.

get down to your local scrappy see if they've got any starlets with a good condition engine

I knew it was burning oil any scrappies near you mate? go and have a look in starlets/corollas and see if you can get the engine out of one that's at a scrappy, like if it's been in a crash and the body is fucked but the engine (atleast the block) is fine, you could always use a 5E-FE if you can't find a 4E.

It's definately your moms, it's got a shopping list and an ironing board! lol, j/k the colour goes really well with those wheels, and the seats+steering wheel look good too

Is that with the standard air box? If it makes a nice difference on a standard one then I'm definately getting a 'rolla mani, I'd like to have a better sound, and I prefer the intake sound rather than the stupid noise you get from an exhaust. Huge exhausts on N/A... terrible.

those must be heavy £20? where did you get it from? so no loss in low end power then, just a high end gain?

Notice much difference in power yet? Pics would be good. And how long did it take to fit?
