Awesome G mate! Thanks for the positive comments! Check this thread again later, will add some decent pics. Look forward to seeing your pics too. This is definitely my work in progress I also got a C Pillar bar hooked up on the car today as well I better get off to work before I get shouted at lol! Laters Peace Out Joz

I'll add some daytime pics I took today a little later! Need to resize them, and I gotta start work now! Came Out Really Nice! Plz check back later! & plz leave a comment if possible hehe... Peace Out Joz

Must have been a different seller then mate... The dude on ebay is 5400rpm. Peace Out Joz

Thanks Gerard mate I'm sure we will meet sumday soon! Peace Out Joz

The Apexi off ebay is £28.50 lobo mate and its £22 for delivery anywhere! Just to clear things up ;b I know because I have been contact with the seller before and am seriously considering getting one in asap! Fitting kit/filter adapter is an additional £12, if bought together with apexi no additional shipping charge, if bought alone then its £18 shipping Best to get both I think! The apexi filter from Toby is £80 for the filter itself and comes with a fitting kit consisting of card gaskets, screws and bracket. An xtra £25 will get you the required metal adapter/pipe, proper apexi brand, u may need a reducer. The best thing about this whole kit is that it is ep92/91 specific so it shouldnt be as large as the universal apexi's. I know its confusing if you have never fitted an induction kit before because you have to make sure it all fits and u get the right bits... Just because its a large don't mean its better ;b Well worth it for this genuine kit if you can afford it. Hope that helps Peace Out Joz

Well I definitely seen the AS mounted to a few SR's before, there is no reason why the CB and AS won't fit out n/a starlets and I am sure some people can confirm that who have had them before or still do. Its like saying the oem glanza brace is for glanza only! I don't think they got their facts right... There is also the OS version which is a thicker bar than the AS. Have fun checking this page out! Cusco Strut Braces Peace Out Joz

lol Its alright mate ;) ! Keep about everything else tho lol! Can't trust nobody these days... Peace Out Joz

Lol, cheers for spilling the beans Rich mate ;b Its a Honda Civic one, but the type is real easy to guess, I already gave u a clue... Thanks for the positive comments, its hard to see but she is visibly split in the middle because the splitter was way to long, and altho it looks like half the job is done, it was apparently a tough job to get that bad boy to hold, this is my feeling of a 'split lip' look literally! Good is not a suitable word for this splitter tho... ;b This is just a small image of an overall picture as I have much more plans for the car, I'm just waiting for it all to arrive hehehe... Peace Out Joz

Joz's Extreem Ep Update SPLIT LIP OK , I have been waiting for ages to change the front bottom end of my Starletto because she always looked so dull and awfully bare down below hehe . I was really impressed looking at the topics on front splitters/air dams and how much they transform the look of the standard ep91. So... I decided on a front splitter and after scouring the net looking for something suitable and considering all types I came across something very tasty and very lippy ! She is colour coded to match my bumper, and at the same time I got my side mirrors done too (lovin them too!) And of course she was shined up real nice. I am overally really happy with the job done and reckon it makes the front end have a lot more character ;) ! Feedback Welcome! Peace Out Joz

Yep, the Remix rears are the same as the Reflets! Mine are on order! Peace Out Joz

Lol! Vauxhall Heritage my Arse! Peace Out Joz

Hi Sparky mate Hope the new mani goes well for you once its installed. Let us know the difference! lol Ah the joys of an induction kit... nice!!! Peace Out Joz

Hi Eric Good to hear you still got the starlet. Do you have any more plans? Peace Out Joz

But thats a good thing tho aint it Rich? Can't wait til 2moro mate hehe! Peace Out Joz

Hi mate Sounds like an awesome upgrade from a 1.1! Keep us updated mate! Look forward to it! Peace Out Joz

Mini Update I got a 2nd hand old style Apexi off tgtt. It has the silver top rather than the black one you usually see with Apexi writing on it! I have been interested in an induction kit for a long time so I decided to take some action ! Had to use two jubillee clips as the diameter of the air filter is bigger than the intake pipe, so I had to secure a reducer into the intake pipe itself and then secure the apexi onto the reducer! The air flow sensor is slapped inside the intake pipe itself, cant think of any better place for it because it is reading the air coming in directly from the air cone. It only just about fits, I had to take off the strut brace to get it snug into the bottom half of the airbox as u can see in the pic, that bad boy aint gonna move! Works a treat tho! This combined with the jdm mani makes it feel like a different engine. Much more pull than the k&n panel and is perfect for my style of driving, it pulls all the way to the higher speeds say 70-80mph at just over 5000rpm but thats great for a 1.3 n/a street car honestly, any faster you will need a longer stretch of road. With the k&n panel filter, performance was a little better but the acceleration altho high was a little emptier in terms of pulling strength. I have tested the Apexi at day and at night. Night driving is much better, but in the day it is fine also. As for the heat soak issue, it is hardly noticeable and the Apexi still pulls the car fine. Exhaust is much louder and deeper tho, so noticeable that its hard now to hear the jdm mani and the apexi sucking in air. I reckon a little more fuel is consumed but that is a small sacrifice for pure unadulterated pulling power and makes the n/a starlet much more fun to drive. It does have a small flat spot at the early rpms in 2nd gear but after that you're flying with a huge smile on your face lol! I tried a cheaper smaller air cone my mate had with the built in heat shield around it, it worked well because it got going straight away with hardly any initial flatspot but it doesnt compare to the fuller pull of the apexi and had less area for sucking in air as it was smaller. I am keeping it in for the moment, and will change back to the k&n panel filter for mot purposes. Sorry bout that Wings but looks like Im keepin it ;b They are cheap enough tho off eBay! Well done for getting a nice example jdm mani by the way! Good Hunting! I will replace it with a new apexi soon enough, but I wanted to try it out so badly I got it the next day in the post lol! More mini updates to come as stuff is still yet to arrive to me, and of course they are all part of my huge changes to the car! So bottom line, thumbs up to the Apexi! Worth a try at least once! Will make your n/a more fun to drive spiritedly and I felt more under control with this pulling power than empty fast acceleration as it is much more stable. Feedback welcome as usual! Thanks for reading! Peace Out Joz (King of UKSC long posts!) Please Watch This Space...

Hi mate Welcome to the UKSC! I would go get your wheels realigned somewhere else ;b Someone should come along shortly with the right info but it seems the adjustments may be different depending on how much your wheels need realigned toe in wise. I take it u need em realigned because your car is recently lowered? I will be getting my wheels realigned once I get the car lowered, should be fun finding somewhere competent enough to do more than just toe in ;b Peace Out Joz

Hi Rich Would getting the 5efe 4 branch exhaust manifold make a good upgrade for people running the jdm mani and just a standard exhaust system and backbox? Induction kit runs well with the jdm mani indeed as I found out last night! ;b Make sure u try both performance panel and induction kit Wings! Peace Out Joz

Nice work Lobo! Wow that will seriously change the look of your starlet mate. Best of luck with your choice! Peace Out Joz

Hey mate ;b Just read my siggy, its a huge clue lol! Peace Out Joz
