finally got my hands on a camera so a pretty big update here: engine bay shiny manifold pipercross filter bucket seats (drivers seat is electric) i think theres a mouse in my backseat TRD shifter with secret trigger button the workshop (look whose in the background) the deceased after a run with a clay bar, wash n wax little shitty preview of the arches

the indicator idea is a good point actually.. im happy to do them orange, might head to a cash machine now to go buy paint then

i like orange what do yous think??

duin the wheels black was my original idea.. but after i get the windows done darker it might be too much black.. was thinkin red, orange or green.. suhin mad lol japstar, my white starlet has clip on dividers for the grille which i sprayed black.. whereas the new car dusnt have them atall

sorry bout the shitty pics but i dont have my own camera atm..

the bumpstrips are off lol ive just contrasted that pic so much u cant tell lol ive just photoshopped them bright orange.. n they look mint!

the superlights suit blackey far better imo.. she looks far more menacing if you know what i mean lol any suggestions on a colour change for the wheels..?? i was thinkin red or orange????.. but they still look well atm in white

the white starlet (sasha) i called her will be on her feet again.. something is clickin and klunkin.. n thers no power beyond 2000rpm.. so.. have her layin in bits now.. she might get fixed or turn into a nice turbo or throttle body project for summer haha the new arrival, 'Blackey' im callin her is mint.. got the superlites n all the other goodies swapped over by 5oclock theday.. will get better pics up soon

had no choice.. she sorta.. kinda.. blew up haha too much of the limiter

Out with the old... in with the new

where did you get the black arches??? theres a few arches to fit old minis on ebay.. wondering if thats were u got em..

got told the exact same thing tonight by a friend a mine, i think it just grows on people haha just noticed when i had the car in the workshop tonight that the teeth on the grill are clipped on.. therefore i can spray them black.. happy days ..loving the weather atm.. thought she deserved a good clean and a photoshoot

being an individual suits me down to the ground lol or different.. whatever way u wanna put it.. dunno what to do atm..im sellin a moped ive had tucked away for 2 years.. and with a set of alloys im sellin and if i were to sell the SR will bring me just enough to buy a decent, standard glanza.. or.. keep the SR.. get her dropped on coilovers.. nice 4branch for her.. tidy up the dentage.. get a boy mick to make me wide fibreglass arches.. if anybody has some coilies for sale it might help me make up my mind.. also.. where the fuck do i get a nice 4 branch for an n/a?????

yes it does tramline a bit and quite scary on uneven roads when accelerating hard.. but hey.. its all good fun.. a quote from my sister after she drove it was 'the things fuckin ferocious' but then again she does drive a corsa on 17's.. was actually lookin into some white paseo clocks a while ago.. they look tastey, but electrics put me off lol and with regards to the insulating tape i was actually going to take a jigsaw to the bumper last week, but before i do anything im photoshopping.. think it looks well..

there is about 2mm clearance from the caliper with the 8mm spacers.. was tempted to grind away at the caliper n get smaller spacers but thought fuck it lol

cheers seems youns boys on this site appreciate her a bit more than on jon44 haha all i get is boys in feltspec boras and dturbos tellin me the jap n euro thing never suit but then again i like being different haha

dont think i havent photoshopped it the way id want her haha airbags FTW they usually go for bout 300-350 over here.. mines were a steal considering the value of the speedlines.. tyres only had 16miles on them too

you would not believe the difference in the handling between the speedlines and the superlights.. the thing is literally a gokart lol corners so level, bodyroll was reduced so much and its still on standard springs haha never actually measured them.. might go find a tape and do that.. acceleration is better although the speedo does need re-calibrated its like 5-6mph off i think

thats all ive been told to do but i cant do anything till i finish school cus the ramps cause her to scrape really bad already with just me in the car, thinkin of a glanza for summertime anyway so i might be getting rid or her.. ive a thread on our most popular cruising website JON44W.COM.. plenty more pics and detail on there im finding this website while annoying lol heres the link if anyones interested Jon44w.com

Thought I'd post a few pictures of my SR starlet, im from Limavady in Northern Ireland, and it seems my wee starlet had been causing a bit of speculation since I traded my speedlines for a set of immaculate superlights. Ive heard it all, so all comments welcome when I bought her: then to white: Then after a straight swap for the speedlines i had my newly refurbished superlights in white and with some 8mm spacers they went on a treat:

just to quote you from way back.. Im not to sure about the N/A version, from the pics i have seen then needles are different. Don't they have a extra bit sticking out the other side of the needle? The problem is that these are designed to be fitted without removing the needles and they won't be able to slide over the n/a needles. my SR dusnt have any extra bits on the needles.. looks just like the pictures you posted??

changing ty glanza dials wud be pointless then n too much bother i reckon.. read jason_l's post there n put my name down for the SR dials, cheers ladd

id love a set if u get the SR dials perfected im gona start a wee list if i may for theose SR owners that would like a set: 1. Spoonsie_ladd 2. 3. 4. 5.

id really love a set of these reverse glow indiglo dials ive seen.. just wanted ty know if they can be fitted to an SR? and if they cant be wired easily is there a way round it??
