Hi Guys, My girlfriend's parents got a new car, a Mazda 3 2.0L Active. This means she is getting there current car, a Mazda 323FBA. This means my starlet won't be needed as a daily driver! This means i can start doing bigger projects on my starlet! :D First thing i want to do with the starlet, cause its almost free, is to strip the interior and get a nice pair of bucketseats. My questions are: What kind of a difference does this make to the car? Is it really noticeable? How? i would guess handling and acceleration.. What kind of weight difference can i expect if i would strip the inter

ep9* N/A drivers will not need these, am i correct?

all the attention on the exterior.. but the engine bay looks like ABSOLUTE CRAP, if he took care of his engine as he did his enginebay...

hehe yeah i love my car ;) on the full res version (3072 x 2048) you can see that the hood is rather dusty..

when i do a full Meg's cleaning it's: Spray it down Clean wheels with Meg's wheel cleaner and Megs soft wheel brush wash car with 2 bucket method with NXT car shampoo and a Meg's Washmitt. Clean windows with Meg's Window cleaner. dry with Meg's drying towel. Remove surface blemishes further with Meg's Clay kit (this makes a HUGE difference!)(Only do this 3 times a year) Use Scratch X on the spots where needed Use Meg's polish to "feed" the paint. (gives deeper shine) Apply Megs NXT Wax and let it set for an hour or 2. Apply Meg's Tire Shine on the ... duh.. tyres Buff it up completly by remo

Thanks Enzo! All these pictures here are great, pure beauties!! Last month i entered with a portrait picture.. DOH! this month if forgot to take the licenseplate off, but tbh i didn't want to spen to much time in that area ;) On the dutch forum we have a similair monthly photocontest, every month the winner of last months contest chooses a certain "theme", this months was URBAN. Last months was NATURE. It's all great fun to see everybody making pictures of their cars in the best possible way. It's a nice change from the standard pictures made at meetings etc.

Meguiar's FTW! To be honest i didn't wash it in 3 weeks... ;) and up close it is dusty and dirty.. It's the real dirt that you don't get off with just a sponge that really makes a difference in shine, Meg's got some great stuff that REALLY cleans the car. And it stays clean way longer cause you clean the surface completely before applying the wax. That way the wax stays on much longer and dirt doesn't stick to the car. Anyway i must say you car looks mighty clean to lots of times!

Thanks mate! Best mods is hard to say, if you talking about handling, yeah the whiteline rear ARB is the single most effective handling upgrade. I made some "URBAN" pictures for a lil dutch picture contest:

we had an ep71 racing series in the netherlands WAAAAAAAY back.

It's a carat alright, the "LUXURY" edition starlet... Source: WIKIPEDIA things are damn ugly yeah, you kind find lots of them online: Like here

Click here for a suprise! I could help you out on them

wow Bourkey mate! The engineswap is reality, i big congratulations to that man! Looks great and it must be great to ride, very sensible to first run in the engine. Great looking car mate. whoop whoop whooosh ftw!

i was driving around with some unknown crappy airfilter, now i got this baby: and some fresh new sparkplugs! (damn those f*ckers are expensive!)

black starlet with white rims look the nuts

autostyle is crap!!! nough said...

SORRY NO PORTRAIT PHOTOS!! A CALENDER IS LANDSCAPE!! (I should of made it clear before ) Thanks Rob PS Great Photo tho mate

That's the spirit mate! keep us posted.

@Rick yeah me to, 6mm spacers. went to a local wheels&tyres shop and they started at 3mm and worked up to see what minimum size spacers would do the trick. so 6mm it was. here is a more shiny picture

Damn that is crazy! thse pictures just freaked me out, i can't imagine what it feels like to see that done to your car... I hope everything is gonna be ok asap. Good luck with all dude!

came of another starlet ep8* originally from a ...... suzuki ignis sport... the model with the recaro seats i think. gonna give the car a cleaning and nice lil shoot coming up. for the people that can't wait:

Thanks for all the comments guys! I will be giving the car a good wash this weekend and a nice new photoshoot. Galliano your dutch is perfect and Petr, you are right, like the uk-drivers, the dutch starlet drivers aren't shavs and have a good sence of taste. so no endless amount of decals or neon... The discs are from a guy from the dutch starlet forum, he has loads of intresting stuff, lots of whiteline and other suspension stuff. I really think they would look good in black with yellow!!

got the spacers and the wheels are on, check showroom!
