  1. Oh and I'm selling some alloys that would look good on this http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/57967-15-mr2-roadstersvery-recent-uniroyal-rainsport-2s-l275/
  2. Here I am thinking I was the only one awake Well Starlets have a weird tank shape, when you fill it to the top they appear full for ages, then as it drops, it goes down progressively faster haha If you need it I have my old NA Speedo cluster here, £10 takes it and it was working fine when I took it out
  3. Hello! I'm buying some 15x8 ET30 and went for a test fit yesterday on my EP91. They look great but they will definitely need a fair bit of work to make them fit without fouling arches etc! -Coilovers are a good idea for extra stiffness (stock dampers and lowered springs compress and roll too much) -An adjustable panhard rod will be needed at the rear end to get the axle in line -Stretched tyres are pretty much a must, I'll be using 195/45 on the 8J -Arches will need to be rolled out as much as you can! I've uploaded some pics in my build thread here, I assume it's these wheels you've seen! http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/33466-amjads-gt-advance-hks/page-13 If you decide not to go for it, I'm only down in Cardiff and have a mint set of GTR Gunmetal coloured MR2 Roadster wheels with nearly new Rainsport 2 tyres for sale. £260 takes them. You won't need to do any faffing around to get them on, they're very light and I'll throw in some 3mm spacers if it on the slight off chance rubs the inner arch liner http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/57967-15-mr2-roadstersvery-recent-uniroyal-rainsport-2s-l275/ Hope that helps Amjad
  4. Cheers buddy, ask and ye shall receive! *Update* Went to test my new wheels on the NA yesterday, suffice it to say I'm in love with them I did like the white wheels, but having seen them on two GTs before they didn't really feel at home on mine really! Also wasn't fond of the colour and that they need new tyres soon ideally. The new ones are XXR replicas, 15x8 ET30. The offset does sound quite high/reasonable for a Starlet but believe me the extra inch in width over typical Starlet wheels makes a crazy difference I'm already on coilovers and I have a panhard rod but to clear the arches cleanly I'll need to roll the flip out of them and run stretched tyres, but I'm way more willing to put the work in for these than the white ones! These are way more my style, a more JDM style design but keeping with aggressive fitment and not being tucked. I'm running GT brakes, and there seems to be a lot of room under there. Whether they'll leave enough space for the GT4 brakes I don't know, but hoping the concave face helps! Anyway, enough nattering..pics! The ones pictured are matte black, never been a fan of it but even so they look amazing IMO! Gonna wait until April-ish time to order them though, as the colour I want isn't in stock! When I get them I'm going to roll the arches on the NA and GT and see if the NA gives enough room (the front is a bit too low and I can't be bothered adjusting it) to run until the Summer when I use the GT again. If not, oh well they'll look awesome on the GT! Hope you like them guys, first time I'm buying a new set of wheels and I gotta say that at last, it'll definitively make the car my own! Remember where you saw it first! P.s. anyone looking at the post time and thinking WTF? I just had a week of exams and am on a slightly nocturnal sleeping pattern Amjad
  5. Check your tyre pressure, oil level I get 300 to a tank (100 from indicated half to near empty)
