just a quick update. been playing around with photoshop real quick and whipped it up. what you think? its only a rough idea at mo but let me know! ;)

I found some wheels in halfrauds. 499 euro with tyres but only like 250 without. i work at a bmw garage so i can get better performance tyres for less and have them fitted and balanced for free! These ones or very similar BK's

No i dont have a rear one yet, waiting to get rear anti roll bar first! I noticed the handling is a little tighter, front is more responsive definatly, though not a HUGE diff like lowering or fitting huge arb's but good enough!! money well spent i say!

Check out www.rhdjapan.com they are fairly decent with prices and have a good range, in my opinion anyway!

On a brighter note, my engine bay is lookin a bit better!

Here are some pics from when they broke in bout 3 weeks ago....c*nts Has cost me over 300 euro getting everything sorted. Sony headunit, oakley sunglasses, cds everything! even bent my steering wheel. had to get a new one!!

Yeah its a bit ropey alright! i got this big 'lets get it done' buzz one sunday! only got it half done, but with a front lip gonna get moulded onto it it should be ok when done properly!

Hey guys sorry was bout to post pics last night when i got called away! Sorry!!! Bout a week after i bout it, grill already cut out! Clear Front indicators and cut out mid section of bumper! How she is now, not much done, fixing up front bumper new reg etc! getting wheels very very soon hopefully!! more to follow soon.

Just gonna post some pics of my car. had the car over a year n a half so some pics are quite old!! Only started doing stuff to it recently so we will see how it goes!! And just my luck that it got broken into bout 3 weeks ago... the little theiving c*nts took everything radio, cds, condoms, anything that was there, even my toolbox!!!! the one night i left it in there!! argghhh!

thanks guys!! feel like a douche now! its so damn simple! ha!

Hey guys just trying to post pics of my starlet up and cant figure it out! quite embarrassed as i am not that bad with computers generally!!!! help!?!

cant figure out how to get the pics up!! its driving me crazy!! i thought i was half decent with computers!!!!

Well i have gotten 120mph out of her on the M50.... kinda very very light on her shoes but was fun... hee hee! thats kool i guess i could just take it easy when i got passengers in the car!!! just money to get now.... you would think BMW pay apprentices a bit better eh??

hey guys need help! im thinking of lowering my little starlet, have a strut brace on already which has helped handling a bit but i wanna lower it. but i have one problem, because my parents dont drive i sometimes have to carry 4 passengers (mam,dad,bro & sis) with me in the car. i think the shocks are shot because the car is seriously on the deck with them all in it, plus i see some oil round the body o the shock! so i gotta replace the shocks soon but if i put uprated shocks and 30-40mm springs on, will it be TOO low to carry passengers? i dont carry alot of people that often, mostly one up front and the odd time one in rear also? its just with a fair few ramps round i dont wanna give the cat and/or exhaust too much of a beating when going over them. plus at 70-80mph on the motorway the car feels 'wallowy'. any help would be appreciated! also if there was stiffer springs at standard height? that would be cool! i have a rear arb ordered so that might help a little too. thanks again!

Hey guys been reading your forums the last few days! my name is alan im from dublin and i have a 96 n/a starlet (5 door unfortunatly, proper granny mobile!). owned my starlet for the last year n a half havnt had much money to get it modded yet but ive got some stuff done! thanks guys!
