Thanks again for that, mintex pads it is then. Are the above things on starlets easy enough to do ? I used to have mk2 golf and a mk2 jetta so have a rough understanding of things but should i be aware of anything ? Sorry to keep going on and on and on.. But obviously i dont want to create thread after thread about each seperate thing Thanks to all.

the cambelt was changed at around 100,000km so he said its a basically new 1 on there. sticker on the cover etc so thats good news ;) .. yea i think brakes are gonna be next, ive seen some good deals around for the 3g discs and yellow stuff pads.. may go for those. Also it isnt being serviced by the garage as i got it on the cheap so ill do that too.. Is it worth getting HKS or NGK iridium type spark plugs ? are there a particular type i should get ? Cheers again.. keep it coming all

Thanks for the in depth explanation Speedfreek ;) .. ive just spoken to the guy and voiced my concern about this and he said that the car should be covered under his insurance/traders policy, so i think he wasnt sure to be honest. He seemed to think that it would be ok but ive so many on here saying no that i think ill stick with the side of caution and find another way of getting it home.. My reason for not insuring it now is that i have only just passed my theory today and dont want the car insured on my name until i have my full license (should be within 2 months hopefully ) . Explanation

yea thats a good idea mate.. was thinking bout that.. lookin at probably £100 total for the day in petrol/diesel. Like the toad alarm too.. Seems good for the price. Any recommendations on what i should buy for the car first ? brakes/pads are first.. And do you think i should get the cambelt changed when i get it too ? Just to be on the safe side ?

Cheers for the info speedfreek.. Yea would be a good idea to get that stickied/stamped somewhere.. Anyone have a friend with a trailer or tow vehicle? or know how i could get it home cheaply as possible? As u may know i had my theory test today which i passed .. but i dont want to insure the car for a year on my name until i pass my test for reasons you may know or not know ;) .. My bro is over 25 but my gf is not. Im still confused as to what happens when you buy a car from a private or trade seller !!?? If you go and look at a car private with money in your hand and like the car 9 time

cheers all ;) .. loads of plans haha.. got some indiglo dials coming and hopefully a jam FCD. Then im looking for a HKS SSQV and an Apexi Filter. Will have to wait til next month then for the next installment of parts haha.. Any ideas about what alarm to get ? i liked the look of the Viper that Hawaii had on his black Glanza. Shit about the insurance tho.. How do people manage when they buy a new car ? ring up the insruance company on the side of the road and get a policy ? Thats what has been puzzling me. Any how it looks as tho ill have to try and get something sorted for the trip home

Again thanks for all the comments ;) .. Like a kid at xmas and have been all day haha.. Near newport starly mate.. lil place just up from risca. Ive asked sky insurance about a 1 day policy or what other options i have so fingers crossed on that.. Just about to do another practice theory lol

Cheers for the kind words guys ;) .. yea deffo pop down when i get it sparky mate.. Help on the insurance would be ace guys.. ? any ideas at all ? or am i better off getting 1 of them to ring and enquire ?

tbh i would pay anything upto £1000.. Another stumbling block which my brother has just mentioned was when i actually go and pick the car up.. I was thinking either take my brother or my gf as they have fully comp insurance on their cars. My bro just said that the car would need to be insured also so that the person can drive it back, even tho they are covered to drive any car third party.. Is that correct ? how can i go about this ? insure the car for a day ? Any help would be great.. Thanks peeps ;) D

where did u get your corolla kit addz ? and how do you know if they come with projectors or not ? are these available to buy ? also do you know the kelvin limit which is considered road legal ? hope im not hijacking the thread.. sorry

lol.. u guys couldnt have read my post about me losing my license all those years ago.. 8 Years infact.. Had 9 points so had license revoked under the new drivers act but have been told by the DVLA when i get my full license again it will be dated from the time i first passed my test. My license is clean and i have nothing to declare to insurance companies as it is over 5 years ago. Im 26 in october and when the insurance ask me for the date i passed my test it will be on my license saying sometime in 2000 .. nothing to worry about there chaps.. And speed is fine, ive been driving my gf's l

are they really that bad ? the1's ive seen give you a choice of colour/brightness and say 6000k is the most common. If these arent worth getting do you know anywhere else that do top quality kits ? Where are yours from kara & gav ?

yea its off ebay.. hes removing it off the for me later.. I told him i had £3000 and he knocked it down from the buy it now of £3600 .. so happy with that.. Yea i thought id be ok aslong as i made quite clear that it was an import turbo.. so hopefully that should be fine.. Theory test 2moro so wish me luck

Happy smurfday shelly .. enjoy yourself.

Cheers pav mate.. thats what pursuaded me with this, totally standard engine and its clean as a whistle.. Only 1 thing thats been putting me off with these imports is that they all seem to be registered as 1.3 starlets.. How does this work with the insurance etc ? am i ok aslong as i say its an imported turbo 1.3 Glanza V ? My luck is not the best and i know if i didnt declare it id get stung further down the line.

Well guys im just about to put a deposit down on this little beauty. 61k miles, full exhaust system, i dont know what make. But my deposit is 100% secure and if the car is not what i expect when i go and see it i will have my deposit back. Possibly 1 of the nicest people ive talked to about these cars and totally genuine. Here are some pics, not taken by me. Hope you like. Let me know your thougts .. £3000 well spent ?

more and more dick heads at these things.. makes me so angry that people have to spoil it for others. Glad its sorted tho mate.

fingers crossed matey
