  1. Well I spoke with Joz directly and shared my opinion and told him about the "flaws" .... but I'm not telling anything to you guys ... even if you tell me a donkeyraping shiteater . LOL
  2. Sweet ride duser Keep the mods coming
  3. Great project mate with massive work! It reminds me the built of a friend here in Greece that will be soon ready Keep it up!
  4. Hehe thought of that too, but I'm not paying a single penny for something that can be done for free (by removing them). Just one day my father will walk on the car and the strips will have "magically" disappear....
  5. I went through most of the pages and I can admit you've done an excellent job so far. This is how I thought a proper N/A 5E should be, althought I see some flaws in the whole project... Do you use msn by the way?
  6. I must have been confused then. It was a guy with a similar nick that bought it and he owned a White Glanza as wel... Anyway here are some random pics along with some friends cars
  7. Hehe no its not paint, its the standard colour, but I used a polish spray that is f*ckin amazing... this picc is 3 days after I cleaned it and teh parts that shine are not sticky!!! It also repels dust! Regarding the bump strips I know all about it, but I had a big "fight" with my father when I told him that I'll remove them, cause for some strange reason he wants them as they are
  8. Thanx for the comments guys! That day I went all out with the cleaning and you can see that with the engine bay I also added a pic from the interior in the fiirst post.
  9. Cheers for the comments guys! SiCaln if I remember right it was you that bought Ollie's white 4E-FTE Paseo? What happened with this one?
  10. After sorting out the Paseo page, here is my first car (and first love), my EP91 Starlet. The car was bought back in 99' by my father brand new. Since then it has been our daily driver for both of us (mainly me, as my father travelled abroad and didn't use the car a lot). It is a 1.300cc, 5 door (unfortunatelly) Status edition that includes a/c, electric windows and hydraulic steering as standard. Little by little I took small steps modding it back. Now it is mainly my fathers drive, but I still keep modding eat when the Paseo doesn't eat all my paycheck . As the car is a daily runner the mods are more practical/comfort/aesthetic ones rather than performance, but we will see what is going to happen in the future Spec list: Engine -Custom Cat-back exhaust (mainly for the looks) -Denso Iridium IK16 spark plugs Suspension -Stock springs with Kayaba shocks Wheels/Tyres -13' inch TSW Razor rims -Bridgestone B250 (165/70/13) tyres Brakes -EP91 Glanza rear disc-brake axle conversion -Ferodo brake pads (front) + Mintex (rear) -Ferodo fully synthetic DOT 5.1 brake fluid Bodystyling -Glanza S front conversion (98' spec bumper with foglights, grill, S bonnet, headlights) -Llummar "Alu-light" window tints -Black sunstripe -Red painted calipers (front and rear) -Glanza replica rear spoiler -Glanza 98'spec tail-lights -Glanza front indicators with Philips Silvervision bulbs (to be installed) -De-badged rear door -Clear side repeaters -Heko front window tinted windshield -Glanza Jam eyebrows (waiting to be installed) Interior -Black/Grey custom seat covers -Momo Tomahawk gearknob -Leather gaiter -Glanza OE in dash cup-holder I.C.E -Pioneer DEH-6400 RCD -SPL Dynamics Component speakers (front) -Pioneer 6x9 3-way speakers (rear parcel) Security -Clipper Security 2-way car alarm Future Mod list - EP82 GT front strutbrace (or similar cheap one ) - New shocks and springs (probably Koni yellow with H&R springs) - Corolla G6/Glanza S intake manifold - Aftermarket panel filter (K&N/Green/HKS/Blitz or similar) - Vision Motorworks 9mm, 3-core spark-plug cables - Custom 5 door fitted OE Glanza sideskirts - Leather retrim in rear seats/door cards to match buckets - Rear Glanza bumper (when I'll source one) - 6000k bi-xenon kit - New loud horn - Glanza S dial cluster - New 15'inch rims
  11. Great project mate! That will be sure one of a kind.
  12. Hehe custom all the way buddy! Get some extra triangles and get started! And remember the whole deal is about the right angle
  13. Hehe don't expect anything crazy with the EP, its my father daily driver now, but I still mod it little by little. Potge ... hmmm he's nick deffo rings me a bell but I don't remember if I have met him in person.
  14. They are custom made using the original triangles and fiberglass. I've spent about an hour to find the proper hearing angle with the audio installer .
  15. Cheers for the comments guys I've made a page for the Paseo already --> Pierros Project Pi and another one with the Starlet will follow @ If you liked this one wait to see the other ;)
  16. Well I'll start with my main car a Toyota EL54 Paseo, which most of you will know that shares many similar parts with Starlets and this is the main reason that I choosed it (I drived a Starlet as my first car since 99 that my father bought it brand new). The Paseo is actually a bigger bored Starlet in a coupe form . In the last 2 years that I have the car I had some "misfortunes" that hold me back. Although I kept going and the project is now starting to take form. The main idea is to make a good all-around car, that will cover every need I have from driving every-day to work to having some track (and not only) action. So I've started from building the handling/safety first with suspension/chassis and braking mods, making some aesthetic mods and now that most of them are sorted I'll proceed and concentrate with the performance mods. For the time being I've made an engine swap with a fully re-builded 5E-FHE engine with stock parts from Toyota (unless mentioned) and the next big step will be a light turbo conversion . So enough said. He is the spec list along with some old and new pictures... Spec list: Engine -Fully overhauled 5E-FHE engine from a 1st Gen Cynos Beta -ARP 4/5E head bolts -ACL Duroglide rod/crankshaft bearing and trust washers -ACIS (Acoustic Control Intake System) intake manifold controled by Zt-2 -OBX Racing 4-2-1 exhaust manifold and downpipe -Remus metallic sport catalyst -Custom Cat-back 50mm with single upgraded exhaust muffler from other toyota model -Magnecor 8mm spark-plug cables (electrosport series) -Denso K20R-U11 spark plugs -Carbon intake with custom air feed and internal stacks -GReddy engine oil cap -GReddy high pressure (1.3bar) radiator cap -GReddy oil catch tank (haven't bother to install yet) -JC Project magnetic oil sump plug -Custom re-inforced engine mounts -Amsoil 10w40 fully synthetic engine oil Electronics/ Management -Full 4E-FTE EP91 Glanza custom wiring loom and ignition -Apexi Power FC (EP91 AP Engineering) with hand Commander -Zeitronix Zt-2 wideband with LCD screen on custom U.F. pod -Zeitronix EGT sensor (haven't bother to install yet) -Zeitronix ZAVT-1 (Audio-Visual Warning and Trigger Box) -Trust1 Super Racing voltage stabiliser -Custom grounding cable kit Transmission -Spec Stage 3 upgraded clutch kit with 4puck disc -TPG aluminium shift bushing -HPG custom short shift kit -Eneos 75w90 gear oil Suspension/Handling/Geometry -K-Sport adjustable pillowball mounts -K-Sport Kontrol Pro monotube coilovers -GReddy front strut brace -RS*R panhard rod -TPG 2point front lower arm -Whiteline 22mm front ARB -Whiteline 20mm rear adjustable ARB -Whiteline Antilift/Caster kit -Super-Pro polyurethane bushes Wheels/Tyres -15"x6,5 OZ Universe rims -Toyo T1-R tyres (195/50/15) -7mm custom spacers (front)/ 6mm custom spacers (front) -Custom wheel nuts -TOM's antitheft tire valves Brakes -EP82 GT rear disc-brake axle conversion with grooved discs (rear) -Grooved discs and Ferodo pads (front) -S/S lines all around -Ferodo fully synthetic DOT 5.1 brake fluid Bodystyling/Exterior -TTE front lip -3M "Panther CS Black 20" window tint and sunstripe -Kaixen H4 Bi-Xenon H.I.D 6.000K conversion kit -Red painted calipers (front and rear) -Si rear boot spoiler -Colour-coded handles, mirrors, front foglight covers -De-egged front indicators with Philips Silvervision bulbs -De-badged rear bumper (thinking of installing "Cynos" badge) -Clear side repeaters -Cynos Beta JDM headlights -USDM spec rear lights -Tinted wind deflectors Interior -OMP reclining bucket seats -TPG custom lower seat base/brackets -Cynos Beta 3-spoke leather steering wheel -Momo Duke gearknob -Momo Performance leather gaiter -Isotta handbrake with leather gaiter -Cynos OE in-dash cupholder -Red multi-leds on dashboard center console -Dry Carbon look interior parts I.C.E -Pioneer DEH-7700MP -Peerless Resolution 6 Component speakers -Phoenix Gold QX2150 amp -Phoenix Gold XS2300 amp -A/D/S RS12, 12inch subwoofer (in custom enclosure) -Eagle cables -Bosch S3 series battery -Custom door install -Sound deadening on front doors, rear arches, boot door and rear passengers bottom Security -Elser Gold Series 8530 2-way car alarm Future Mod list - Light turbo conversion - Custom fitted OE Glanza sideskirts - Leather retrim in rear seats/door cards to match buckets And here are some old and new pictures...

  17. Hello people. I'm not exactly "new" in the forum, as I have logged ages ago, but for various reasons I haven't been around lately. So I've decide to make a new account cause I couldn't even find/remember my old one. I'm Pierros from Greece and I'm the proud owner of a 98' EL54 1.5 Paseo and a 99' EP91 1.3 5door Starlet. Many of you may know me from various other Paseo/Starlet forums. Hope to contribute as much as I can in here as well.
