  1. So as of today, the 27th September 2017 we have been running as a club for 5 years! Although the staff have been very busy with their personal lives, with houses moves, job changes and new little feet we have tried to put all the effort possible in this year to give you guys the best experience.

    Thank You to ALL of you guys. Members, Club Members, The Moderation Team, Traders & Fellow Staff. It definately wouldn't be possible without you, so thank you for all your help over this year, and the last 5.

    We Are STILL A Non Profit Organisation

    This is a very important part of the club and it needs to be kept this way to ensure the club runs consistent and smoothly. We don't mask anything, we are truthful and clear. We are doing this for the Toyota Starlet Scene here in the UK and because we enjoy doing so. There are a few points I would like to point out though:

    • UKSO will never demand for donations from its members
    • UKSO will never demand full membership to use the website from its members
    • UKSO will not automatically take membership payments upon time of renewal
    • UKSO has its own financial accounts, nobody is taking proceeds, any funds generated are put back into UKSO & the Starlet Community

    The Quality of your Community

    All the major staff members have full time jobs and help run and maintain ukso as a hobby for people to share interests.
    This year will show a major upgrade to the forum software that will bring a new look, and lots of new features.

    Club Membership

    Club Membership is set at the minimal charge of £1.95. This is such a minimal amount that is purely another way for members to show support to there club. We have had over 1000 people join up to support UKSO over the five years.

    Official Traders

    We have invited many new traders that specialise in certain areas of the Starlet scene to offer our members many additional services. On top of offering services, they offer discounts for club members, support and advice on the forum to members and much more. They play a huge part in the Starlet Community and we will continue to bring in new traders who offer unique services that aren't already catered for! We have brought on many new traders this year and we thank you for making them all feel welcome!

    Major Shows & Events

    This is something we have absolutely perfected now we feel, we've had such a strong presence at all the major Japanese Car Shows. Although not as large as previous years, the sense of community is great, and any show definitely feels like a weekend with friends!


    Competition Time!

    We are finishing this year strong with an exciting chance to own a limited edition piece of merchandise and the opportunity to win a fantastic prize.

    and the cage started going in, this was originally a cusco 4 point, but an extra diagonal has been added with tube from customcages and joints order from cusco in japan (the joints are eye waterinly expensive, but i wanted to keep it all authentic)

    the harness bar was added, and it in the process of having the upright modified to work with the cage

    The front is currently under progress with a set of Cruise style wings being bolted on

    but theres where we are today, as always massive thanks to Kieran and Flint. This car wouldnt be anywhere without you guys

    Also thanks to my mate Jordan who is helping with the front wings as he is a panel beater by trade. Definately who you know!

    Next plans are to get my new clutch in, and get the methanol hooked up. Then its some mapping and sending everything off for paint
