  16. Well People. The 27th September 2013 is finally here, meaning we have been available to you Starlet Owners for 1 Year now! Despite the highs and lows of the first year, we have made some huge steps, learnt a lot and expanded further then any of us thought we could do! Thank You to ALL, of you guys. Members, Club Members, The Moderation Team, Traders & Fellow Staff. We wouldn't be here now without you all, lets hope we can push this great atmosphere into its second year! So, lets recap on a few points and achievements in our first year! We Are A Non Profit Organisation This is a very important part of the club and we feel it needs to be kept this way to ensure the club runs consistent and smoothly. We don't mask anything, we are truthful and clear. We are doing this for the Toyota Starlet Scene here in the UK and because we enjoy doing so. There are a few points I would like to point out though: UKSO will never demand for donations from its members UKSO will never demand full membership to use the website from its members UKSO will not automatically take membership upon time of renewal without authorisation from its members UKSO has its own financial accounts, nobody is taking proceeds, any funds generated are put back into UKSO & the Starlet Community The Quality of your Community All the major staff members have full time jobs and help run and maintain ukso as a hobby for people to share interests. Although we've had a few issues with certain members this year, we want to try and maintain a free and friendly atmosphere here on ukso. We always try and be fair and have implemented new rules part way through the year for members, traders and staff to try and make sure it stays that way. The website itself has moved through many phases since being launched. Always running the latest clean and smooth version of Invision Power Board, allowing members to easily navigate the board and its many features easily from there PC, Laptop or Mobile Device! We have taken so many suggestions on board from members and if any member finds a bug or has an issue we try to sort it or help out as quickly as we can! Part way through the year we have also moved to a far superior server. Giving you a lightning quick community to use! No one likes waiting for pages to loads! We also added many new sections into the forum as well as adding an easy to use Wiki for content to stay safe and accessible at all times. A fresh new store making it very easy to become a full member and purchase event tickets and merchandise. A Calendar to remind you of events and a full performance leaderboard! Club Membership Club Membership is set at the minimal charge of £1.95. This is such a minimal amount that is purely another way for members to show support to there club. We have had over 350+ people join up to support UKSO in the first year alone. People may already be getting reminders via e-Mail from us that renewal time is coming up, if they wish to do so. Official Traders We have invited many new traders that specialise in certain areas of the Starlet scene to offer our members many additional services. On top of offering services, they offer discounts for club members, support and advice on the forum to members and much more. They play a huge part in the Starlet Community and we will continue to bring in new traders who offer unique services that aren't already catered for! Major Shows & Events This is something we have absolutely perfected now we feel, we've had such a strong presence at all the major Japanese Car Shows. Getting huge recognition by show organisers and magazines such as "Banzai" and "Japanese Performance Magazine" offering members full features. We had the most amount of Starlets in one place at the same time at Japfest. We won Best Club Stand at Japfest 2. Despite the weather, JAE was still an amazing atmosphere and everyone that went loved every minute of it! Club Merchandise We have worked with 'Stick-2-It' all year and have brought you many pieces of merchandise this year. Josh himself has also come up with many limited edition designs and offered them all to UKSO at very good rates. We are going to continue into the 2nd year bringing you more merch and we are going to be doing a giveaway also, more details on this below! Social Media Such a powerful tool these days, that we have expanded to be another separate half of this huge community. Just having past 4100 Likes in only 1 year, this is a huge achievement and we are very appreciative to you all. We can reach over 35,000 people a day with this, so you will get noticed. We will continue to feature peoples starlet related media on there every day of the week! On top of this we push Traders Special Offers and Group Buys on there, drawing in more audience and making there stay on UKSO worthwhile! UKSO Traffic Many people don't realise what an absolutely huge community UK Starlet Owners is, we keep track and record all of our visitors to the site. We believe we are the biggest Starlet Owners Club in the world now and we are continuing to grow at a stable and consistent pace. We have traffic coming to us from over 100 countries also, we are certainly not tied just within the UK! Giveaway Time! We are finishing the year strong with the last major piece of merchandise for this year... Official UK Starlet Owners Keyrings! 50 Free Keyrings, Thank You! We will be offering 50 Free Keyrings, to the First 50 People To Process The Code! This Giveaway is Limited To Club Members Only.

The Free Code is '1YEARMYFRIEND' View Keyrings In The Store Here Final Thank You So there we are, a quick re-cap of the highlights of our first year. Big Thank You again to you all, we hope to keep progressing as a family through our second year to make your stay here online and at events as good as possible!

  17. Im fascinated to see that ECU.... Its also very interesting to see that the fueling can be adjusted!
  18. Knew you'd be back muhahaa!
  19. Hands up for the DIY approach! Looking forward to seeing it all re-assembled!
  20. Nissan GTR - 550bhp w/1740kg = 316.09bhp/ton Burnys Glanza V - 325bhp w/880kg = 369.32bhp/ton The ONLY scenario where a Glanza would have a chance in a straight line is from a rolling start in 2nd gear... BHP/TON difference like that would easily put a gap between you and hold you off till 140-150mph. After that you'd reel the Starlet in... Power to Weight is Everything in terms of acceleration, until you start reaching silly speeds. When power becomes a factor against wind resistence... I believe aaddzz123 on here has a mate with a GTR and his car was exactly the same from 40mph to 140mph on the multiple pulls he did. tbh tho, what I find funny is a car from the 90's that's worth 6k gave you a run for some fun. GTR is a brand new supercar, with one of the fastest gearboxes and the best launch control on the market... If you fancy a run down brunters, do let me know, Ill show you what a Starlet is capable of... As it seems reading this you very much shrug off what a Starlet is capable of doing...
  21. That is a complete Sleeper! Loving it... Whats it like at putting power down?
  22. Crikey... That is one hell of an external wastegate route!? Is that going to sit right next the radiator? Glad u updated it though, car not on road?
  23. Night & Fucking Day Rob... THE best road going coilovers by a long way! Set them to softest for road use, you will love them!
