Charlies 99 Ep95 (on the road)
bucketep91 replied to bucketep91's topic in EP85/EP95 4WD Progress Blogs
i dont think you hd realised what happened till after i stopped screaming like a girl lol. Ive only lowered the front of it, ill set about the rear during the week also just realised ive not added any of my own pics yet, mostly because ive not even washed it yet, but heres a couple when we picked them up! dropped 40mm i also fitted the seats from my GT but im really not too sure on them,they are a damn sight better than the seats that where in there but jusst not for me, im gonna take them out 2morrow again i think wanted to get these fitted today but my wee boy wont give me them back lol, all the toys he has and all he wants to play with is car parts lol -
what a difference! got some pics of the whole car when you finished?
-
this sounds better than them all! its a quick fly by so watch carefully

i just gave it ago with the seats from my GT and they almost fit, they bolt up perfect at the centre consol sides (both bolts) but the other 2 are just over an inch out. not much in it tbh -
aye i was rubbing my head and my eyes wer watering, Geo was in the front wondering what the fuck happened haha u couldnt write this shit!
-
my insurance company told me the gt's insurance group has gone up so i dont think itll be cheaper any more for insurance. it is all down to personal preference. When i set about looking for my glanza, the GT never got a look in i had my heart set on the glanza then after i had it a while i wished i had spent my money on the GT even now i still prefer the look of the GTs especially white quadlights! they are lighter so quicker too. if i was to buy another it would be a GT no doubt
-
dirty sanchez is a rite laugh, wish theyd make some new stuff. i liked spin off where pritchard and dainton going around the world looking for the ultimate high, that was some funny shit!
-
i had legs on a new rs with a tongs hybrid at 1bar on fcd and fpr set up, so between 180-200 bhp which isnt a lot! proves what sparky says! light is might! ( i like that 1 ;) )
-
since my son was born ive barley touched the shit! on a few odd occasions aye, i miss it!
-
if i was you id buy a GT, swap everything over then sell everything else you can. defo the cheapest way of doing it i paid 1100 for my GT and kept the suspension, engine, seats and another few parts and sold everything on for more than i paid for the car, and all the money went back into the ep95. wish i had baught a glanza to break instead tbh!
-
how did u get on yesterday mate?
-
already happend! my wee boy woke me up thismorning with a plastic sponge bob toy off my head lol
-
Cant thank you enough Geo for importing my car! Im over the moon with it. His customer service is second to none, even when he was in south africa he still got in touch and let me know what was going on, then he helped me out for getting the car home too, any of you thinking of going down the 4wd route or even importing something else i would recomend geo hes a top bloke! thanks again mate!

i am quite liking the starlet front end tbh especially with the crystal headlights but ive got it in my head what i want and everythings just about baught now anyway. all i need to start the build is wiring looms and management. @ greame aye the way down was a white knuckle ride lol good laugh tho apart from when i got smacked in the head by a stray stone that came in the sunroof! -
today on the way to newcastle i was sitting in the back in the middle of the bench of the car we were in, chatting aay and a wee stray stone flying towards the windscreen caught my eye. It somehow never hit the windscreen it followed the lines of it then came right in through the sun roof and pinged me rite on the middle of the forehead ! was fucking sore. then i was outside fucking about with the car about an hour ago and something skelps me on the top of the head and fell on the ground, a dummy tit! a seagull dropped it on me random i know but what are the chances of that lol
-
dont bother with a hybrid for now, still plenty more to be had from the oem unit! if you do go hybrid got for the ct12 gt specs! they are fucking mental

SHES HOME! picked her up today, the drive back was a good laugh, geo also picked up his new ep and we had a lot of fun all the way home lol. Its pretty immaculate! apart from 1 little scuff on the rear near side arch. not a problem tho as i have some bbits and bobs to be sprayed ill have that touched up too. My first impression it just seemed like any other fwd starlet until i hit some bends it feels planted but still a bit boaty due to the comedy suspension, I really dont have the courage to go throwing it into corners with the standard suspension and skinny 13 inch wheels! It really does drive like a new car is pretty nippy, even in higher gears which i was quite surprised with, that short ratio box is awsome i found myself hitting the speed limiter (a bit quicker than i imagined) a few times which was also surprising. I had a wee practice at launching it (couldnt help myself ) im quite amazed by the grip i dumped the clutch at 4k and it just flew! BRING ON THE BOOST! all in all im f***ing delighted with it and cant wait to get started properly. when i got it home my mrs was out and i didnt have my keys so I've lowered it already lol. well the front anyway and im going to fit my seats and steering wheel, glanza skirts and rear bumper 2moz. oh and i found another optional extra in there. The ashtray is like suede inside lol -
youl have him! i just had the legs on 1 in my glanza when i was running a ct9 hybrid set up, they are way over rated
