Small update As some of you may have read in the other thread, my brother accidently tried to start my car yesterday while it was in gear which broke the front end a little :angry: The headlight bracket broke, headlight screw snapped, headlight motor broke, bumper bracket got bent and the bonnet is also slightly bent in from the front. So, last night I stripped the front end of the car (again!). I have ordered a new headlight along with the screw, and I think I have a spare motor lying around somewhere so I'm going to try and stick that on it. While the bumpers off I might give it in to a bodyshop to finish the smoothing off and get it resprayed because I simply have no time for it. I'm not going to attemp to straighten the bonnet myself so that will definitely be left to the professionals. The drivers door is also bent around the window because someone tried to nick the car (gutted) and the black paint has cracked. I'm guessing that will need to get straightened and resprayed too so I'll just leave that to the bodyshop aswell. I really did want the car to be MOT'd by now and ready for the VIC check but it doesn't look like that will be happening soon, oh well. I need all the electrics sorted too yet (before the MOT) because its all dodgy.

Thanks for all the heads up guys :angry: Nothing to improve in my case tbh, already got the Glanza headlights and bonnet. The only thing is a carbon bonnet but I'd never pay the money for one. And I can't really improve my door now can I! I might just hand it over to a bodyshop and get the bumper resprayed too. Can't be arsed painting any big panels myself.

I think I do need to invest in a decent one tbh :angry: Its added to the list

I've got a Cobra alarm on it dude, with RCL and stuff. Not sure how sensetive it is though, but I was at work last night and it must have happened then.

Today has had a couple of nasty surprises for me.. My brother took my car key off me earlier to move the car from the garage to use it for something else. When I went out to see how far hes got, he told me he tried to start the car whilst in gear = Broken headlight, bent bonnet and buggered bumper bracket. I thought oh well accidents happen, I'll just wash the car to get it looking abit better. (had a layer of shit on it from the garage) Whilst washing it I found that some motherf*cking pikey son of a b*tch has tried to steal my car. Absolutely gutted. I feel like I just wanna get rid of the car. Too many jealous bast*rds around here I can't imagine what it will be like for me whilst the car is actually on the road This has happened in my garage, its locked most of the time but the side door is left unlocked sometimes as I never thought something like this would happen. Won't ever be left unlocked after this :angry:

Does it actually feel quicker dude? I've always thought open filters would decrease performance because of the heatsoak the filter will get, but I fitted one a few days ago and it feels as it has really opened it up, especially in higher revs. It might just all be in the mind though!

Finished wrapping the intake pipe last night It doesn't look 100% perfect but I'm happy with it. ;) I also prepped and primed my spare fuel rail, ready for a nice lick of paint. I went out today to rewire the front foglights up (off a switch and get all the connections soldered) but everytime the foglights are connected the headunit cuts out. Stupid f*uckin car with its gay electrics. I need to get it to an electrician because 50% of the electrics are shagged, but I need to wait for my new wheels. It scrapes the floor far too much on the 13s so I can't really get it to someones garage to get it sorted. I was also planning on changing all the fluids in the next few weeks becuase I've had the car parked almost a year and the only things that have been replaced are the spark plugs and engine oil. Can't do much in this horrible weather though so I'm just gonna wait.

Nice work, not sure if I actually like the look of it on your ride though Sparky. But if you like it then its all hood, front end still looks awesome!

Finally got my Blitz induction kit today, cheers Alex. Then I went out and bought a metre of aluminium air feed piping Got that all in place Peeking through the front for nice cold air ;) I planned on making two air feeds but didn't really have room for two alumium pipes, so I reused the airbox intake pipe I ran out of materials when wrapping the plastic pipe though so I'll have to finish it off some other time! Overall engine bay...

The spoiler was on the car when my brother bought it, we just refitted it because it was lose. I believe Toyota don't make them in this colour, this has been resprayed. I have a Sportif spoiler here in this colour if you want it though? PM me. We should be picking up a Blitz induction kit this week and we can also fit the Sparco front strut brace I have lying about then (because it won't fit with the stock airbox) Just waiting for someone to get back to me regarding these Grids..

Well I don't know of anybody on here who has fitted Glanza dials in a UK spec Starlet using the NA wiring loom, so good luck with fitting them.
