  1. Another small note to add is that it is illegal to sell a car with faulty brakes. If the car hasnt been driven that often before the sale then the brakes will make some noise for a week or two until they bed in again. It was like that with mine. I was worried about them when i first picked up the car. I gave them a check before i set off to check but after about 100 miles on the way home they didnt make a noise. And getting violent is not the answer to this problem so i dont know why he is threatening you at all. If he does want to go round to your house give me a shout because ive got a few
  2. Ive just spoken to a collegue about this as i work at a law firm. He said: IF there was anything wrong with the car that you didnt tell him about then he has a bit of an argument against you. We have had cases in the past where there has been people who this has happened to and they won due to the dangerous nature of the faults. Usually you have to point out anything wrong with the car BUT There are plenty of ways he could have spotted any faults. Firstly a good test drive would have found them which is what you should do as a rule anyway when your buying a privatly sold car. He could have
  3. That looks an ace car. Personally id have it in black or red but apart from that id leave the outside the same. Engine looks like it could do with a buff up though. The engine may not look perfect but i bet it runs perfect.
  4. Do they do a double bed version??? Ive got to find one someone must do it. I can just picture my girlfriends face!!!
  5. This is going to be the cheapest modified starlet ever!!!
  6. The end of an era. At least got to see it in the metal before it went.

  9. OH MY GOD!!!!! They suit the car down to the ground. I love them. It sits so perfectly with them on. Fantastic choice!!!
  10. Right ive not been on here for over a week as ive been quite busy. An update on this conversion is that Im pretty close to ordering an engine from japan, but ive found one in the UK that is in a GT that has had a bump. The engine is running at over 160 but id would like to hear a few opinions. How much needs doing is the main question? Also my mate who some of you may have seen at the Yorkshire meet is buying a starlet and doing a conversion like me so we are desperate for two engines now.
  11. I do think that the Toyos are very good but the eagle F1's seem to have the edge. They perform well in all conditions whereas i personally found the Toyos lost a little bit of grip in the wet but the F1's are very grippy. I wouldnt touch yokohamas ever again after a small spinning incident on a roudabout. Talking of dark horses ive heard the the new dunlop range is very good.I dont know if this is true so i cant comment. Tyres really are the base of good handling.You can have the best setup in the world but if your tyres are shite then it means nothin. Ive got standard SR shocks and springs
  12. Eagle F1 Eagle F1 Eagle F1 Eagle F1 Eagle F1 Eagle F1 Eagle F1 I cant recommend them enough.
  13. I Got a nice surprise when i got in from work before.A large parcel!!! It turns out that it was some tailored mats that id ordered 2 weeks ago from Germany. I completely forgot id ordered them. they look really good in the car and the quality is excellent. Ill get some pics of them tomorrow. I myt be getting something else in a few days.I really shouldnt as need to save for he 4EFTE but its a bargin so i myt do.
  14. niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. I know.ive sent him loads of texts today telling him to put a deposit on it but he just cant. He cant wait to get one though.He said hee will join here and come to more meets with me. I loved it when we went driving on them country roads.Being an N/A i had to try hard to keep up with all the turbo guys.I managed ok though. I'll get turbo'd asap.
  16. The birthday moderator didnt put his own birthday up ;) Hope you had a good one!!!!!!
  17. I was so anoyed with myself. My mum was in the car an she was laughing her head off. It was a screw in the back of the bench and it went straight in. No problem.It wasnt in use anyway. I like clean engine bays.It shows that the car has been looked after.Im obsessed with the car being clean.Ive always wanted a black car but now ive realised they are a pain to keep clean.Still love it though.
  18. Will do tonight. He has had to charge the camera up. He has now been converted to a starlet lover aswell!! He will be getting one either this month or next month.He really wants a silver one on ebay but i dont think he can get the dosh yet. Ive seen some of the video he got though and it looks cool. He wants your enine Gee if you change it!!!!
  19. Thanks.There is a few more bits ive got to get clean but apart from that its looking good. Well that was the reason i was going to eventually change it but if you look on the left hand side of the bumper you can see a little hole.I reversed into a bench so i thought id sort the bumper out sooner than planned.
  20. A small update on the SR. Ive been spending a lot of time cleaning up the engine bay as it had been neglected by the last owner. Ive buffed nearly every part of it. Also the airbox has been removed as it was useless with my induction kit on so ive given it to Idrees. Here is a pic of the engine bay. Next update is the rear bumper, which Idrees has sprayed up fo me. The job is excellent it just needs the laquer buffing up ive started but havent finished yet. Before After And here is just another piccy of it.
  21. Well i dont think there is enough pictures up so here is mine
