  1. Thanks all of you! I've been quite busy whole summer (drove almost 9000km with my glanza during 3 months! ), moved to a different city and got a new job etc...So didn't have time to write here. So, the glanza is now stored for the winter (yeah, it's not winter yet, but couldn't afford to keep it in use because of the moving and stuff). Got a few pics of it weeks ago, gonna try to upload them at some point. Although I didn't make any more bigger mods to it this summer after cuscos and power getter, I've been planning lots of mods. Just trying to collect some money to make them true! One thig that has been haunting me is the new wheels I wanna get SOOOO bad! Been browsing stancenation.com too much I guess. This is what I did today with photoshop: Been planning white Rota Grids to front in 16x7" and Grid Drifts to back in 16x8". Maybe with ET 20? Can anyone say if it's going to rub like hell? I planned using my 195/40/16's all round. And maybe lower it a bit because it clearly is too high cause didn't get any hits from speedbumps whole summer! Here's a quick one too, to get the idea: Oh, and Idrees: The power getter really is an excellent exhaust! Love the sound of it so much, and the fitment was SO easy with all the bits fitting like a charm.
  2. Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. I must say that I was a bit afraid to hear the noise comming out of the powergetter, but it turned out to be very nice and not too loud at all. Other choice for exhausts wat blitz nur spec rx, but luckily it wasn't available at that time, so I ended up to the fujitsubo. REAL jdm. Here's a few pics more from my camera, those previous ones were from my brothers.
  3. Took a few photos today with my brother. Absolutely lovin' this car! Oh yeah, and got the FUJITSUBO installed today!
  4. I like the 16's with 195/40, runs really nicely! Tires are Falken ZIEX-912. I almost bought 15" Advans from Japan, but still desided to go with these for now. Roads here in Finland are not that good everywhere, so slamming it more wouldn't necessarily be a smart move. Spacers would be nice, but my bolts are too short for them! Is it a hard job to change the bolts? I think the ET on these is 38....
  5. Cheers! Got it from japanese yahoo auction. It's mint, boxed with all the papers and installation equipment.
  6. Ok, so got the Glanza yesterday, fitted my 16" alloys with 195/40 tires right away. Today fitted the Cuscos and rear strut bar and now it looks like this: The ride height is about 12 cm from the lowest point, could take it a bit lower but I think it's now just perfect. I still have my powergetter waiting to be fitted. The plan is to fit it during the weekend, I'll post some more pics when it's done. Oh yeah, a good cleaning wouldn't do harm!
  7. Got my Glanza today! I'm SO happy right now! Ok, now off to take a few beers, I'll try to post some fresh pics tomorrow. ;)
  8. Sweet looking ride! The gear knob is wild, I kinda like it too! Is the old knob for sale? Would need one because mine is in quite bad shape.
  9. AND I've got this too! It's a brand new Power Getter! Does anyone know is this alot louder than Blitz Nur Spec RX? I've only seen videos of Nur Spec R's, not RX's. What kind of power gains can I expect with power getter?
  10. So I guess they're Zero 2R's Nice! Just got the C spanners for them from post, as they are used the spanners were not included. Also got the Apexi Auto Timer another day too.
  11. And do these have the camber adj? What does it look like?
  12. Yeah, hope so too. It's packed well, not that wide open. So I guess it's gonna be ok. So Cusco coilies and original strut bar on the way already. Gonna paint that strut black, as it should be, when it arrives. I'm not sure what model of cuscos those are. I guess they are zero-2's or 2R's. They have five-step adjustment on stiffnes. How can you tell if it's zero-2 or zero-2R? Got then second hand, so that's why I'm not sure.
  13. Cheers fellas! The car left on a ship april 7th, so it should arrive to Finland early june. It's a long wait! Here's a pic of it few days before it got on board. Hmm, I think there's some goodies in the trunk!
  14. Hi again ukso! Someone might remember me from years back, I think I registered here on 2005 and last time I visited or posted anything up was 2006 I guess. So it's about time to get some action! So, I'm from Finland and I guess I'm the only finnish member here? Correct me if I'm wrong. I've had this NA Starlet since 2002 and I've made a few mods to it: Eibach springs, 16" alloys, custom front bumper, etc... It's been a lovely car, but as I've had lots of things happening in my life during these last five years, I haven't done much to it lately. Actually that bumper is now in quite bad shape and I'm trying to sell the car...Too bad, yeah I know - but there's something more. Just ordered a white Glanza V -98 from japan! It's rolled 132 000 km, no rust or bad scrathes. Only bad thing seems to be that the CV boots have to be changed. It's totally stock right now but I have some goodies for it comming up too. I'll post some more up later. Stay tuned!
