pinske

little updates. picked up this motorbike exhaust for free for a play about as the Boso style i wanted may attract the police too much, and it turned out like this...

]

gonna connect it up next weekend!

got a fully refurbed GT turbo rear beam + adjustable panhard rod for £30!!! (god know when ill bother fitting it though)

went a bit radge and bought some JDM/ drift style fiberglass bolt on arches from Stucat87 which ill get photos up of when they arrive!

means ill be taking a grinder to my front and rear arches which will be... entertaining.....

to be fair though, what it needs most is a good service and a clean because at the moment its turned into a #NoFucksGiven sort of car which i never really wanted to happen to it :/

anyway, ill update with pics when possible.

Opinions on the exhaust?

Sam.

rear brace gone mate? if not ill have it and organise my own courier as i cant collect. let me know

Sam

Please tell me this is for your car...please.

PLEASE.

maybe... ;) might also be getting paired up with some bolt on arches aswell.... haha

best price posted to CA2? can buy next week if the price is right.

cheers Sam

Lee, this things looking great! Its come so far in the few week you've had it, seriously impressed mate! Wish mine was half as clean as this. What's next for it then?

bit of an old bump, but a mate of mine has a fez ST (56 plate) and has upgraded to mk1 focus brembos meaning he has the stock fez calipers handy. now seen as the bolt holes on the focus brembos line up with a starlet the fez calipers will also fit as they are the same but they take a 280mm disc instead of 305mm the focus brakes require. for which there are plenty of options for disc (cheapest ive seen are golf g60 discs), the fiesta calipers are also maybe an 1/8th of the price at around £40ish for 2 front ones and will happily fit under 15s. they also stop a big 1100kg 2.0 car very well so should be more than capable on a starlet. I'm gonna try get them fitted to see if it work, also Fabia VRS calipers also fit again with a 280mm disc (i think) but the piston size is smaller than the fez calipers...

food for thought.

Sam.

I have a set of these in selling. 60 plus delivery. Got these from josh at stick2it but I got my arches done before and not really wanting to do anymore work to them at the moment. Can send u a picture if your intrested.

yes please mate, they brandnew or cut? send a pic over Pm

Go for it will look good. Have a look in this thread to give you an idea of how it would look http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/29434-my-starlet-sr-on-13-superlights/page-3

well that looks fucking ace! gonna have to do it!

as title says, need opinions on these bolt on wide arches you can buy, because even with my arches flared right out my wheels will still protrude outwards (15x8 et0). also since im going to be running a livesports wing + a standard N/A body i think it may look kinda cool.

something like this

so do people reckon they will look sh*t or cool? anyone fitted them? they easy to shape to your body etc?

thanks in advance!

Sam.

Yeah man very illegal, exhaust can only stick out 15mm further than the furthest point on the rear bumper I think, that and you'll burn your legs getting stuff out the back like me and my mates did all the time aha

hmmm, may just leave it then. police round here have a massive hard on for anything modified and cant be arsed with the hassle haha

There in my progress blog somewhere, we literally just welded a bend onto the end of the standard back box, it looked terrible, i have been thinking about another one recently, but i need the bit that goes over the beam to play with, got a couple of different ideas i wana play with!

Just be careful about the old bill, because they are ilegal as fuck!

Sure they're illegal? Surely protruding exhaust piping is fine since caterams, lorry's and some landrovers have exhausts on the outside. I'll give VOSA a ring because can't be bothered with more hassle off the police :/

I knew itd be along the line of a boso! I put a very mild one on mine a while back, didnt suit it very much imo, but check out the one me and a mate made for my old fiesta

they suit ratty cars really well, seen one on a smooth fiesta and it looked poo tbh, never know till ya try dude!

got any pics of it on yours Dan? even if it does look gash ill probably leave it on. got a bit of a boso fetish haha, very nearly bought some rivet on arches for it the other day!

gonna give it a try start of next month as i have a whole spare exhaust to mess around with. gonna order some 3 inch stainless and get it bent to shape, hopefully have it stick up as far as the top of the bumper.

Looks good buddy!, Loving the pink theme with the gear knob and floor mats!,

Wont be to everyones taste but imo looks sick!

What's the plan with the exhaust?

cheers mate! yeah, most people probably think its disgusting but i love it hahah. and the plan for the exhaust is something like this....

no idea if it will suit the starlet though! thoughts?

Sam.

few updates:

rolled my arches ;)

Also fitted my new seats, steering wheel, harnesses

and how they look now

couple of pics from the other night

Next up is false floor and a service. and got an idea for an exhaust that will either look massively sh*t or cool...

Sam.

looking good lee! its come on a fair old way since i last saw it!! ill have to pop out and and have a look at some point

Sam.

spotted a white rally prepped SR in maccies carpark the other night (13/02/2013). complete with cage and foglights. anyone on here? looked as though he'd just been blasting round a forest haha

Sam.

Ill have the rear lights pm me mate.

Sam

So since i started this topic ive fitted my rolla inlet mani, got the cat welded back in, TRD panel filter and stripped the starlet out. cost me fuck all and the difference is immense. never noticed the rolla mani when i had it on my old starlet but on this one it pulls really well! it'll do 97mph in 4th gear! admittedly it doesnt have much to give in 5th though haha.

went out with my mates for a blast down the bypass where i live the other night, normally i get left for dead (one has a 1.9tdi polo 100BHP and the other a fabia VRS) but no, beasted the fabia with EASE up to 85/90mph, he was around 4 car lengths behind me until the old starlet ran out of puff and he went sailing by. and the polo couldnt even get near me! Im absolutely chuffed with it.

gonna try a rolla 4-2-1 exhaust mani and 4afe throttle body next i think!

cheers, Sam.

PAID!

So.... New tyres, seat rails, steering wheel, manifold gasket etc all arrived. Cats going back in the exhaust this week as well as getting insurance, tax and get the new tyres on. Seats will have to wait a week or so while I fab the mounts up. Expensive month! Definitely not good on an apprenticeship wage!

Sam.

Need an ep91 rear strut brace Asap. Cash waiting. Not bothered about the make, need something not too expensive. Comment or pm me.

Sam.

axle still available? could you check postage to CA2 7LT.

cash waiting

Sam

No worries man I had some stuff to deal with that meant I didnt even think about coming online, sorry I didnt get back to you sooner

No worries mate

If pedz and the loacal lad fall through il take that off you dude asap

sorry man, brace has gone. cheers Lee-Robo!, came and picked it up within the hour

Sam.

Wanting it pedz? Just because I have a local lad after it. And bump on the wheels first offer around 320 takes them. BARGAIN.

Sam.

to be fair ive not seen MLs on a starlet! i seen some wheels on ebay the other day called Traklite Apex's that i reckon would look insane on a starlet, not been done before either (far as im aware) may be worth a look?

this is them - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traklite-Apex-Alloys-15-x-8-25-20-4x100-114-Matt-Black-Red-Rivets-Civic-MX5-VAG-/221243138028?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item33831e5fec wish i'd got these but too expensive!
