Not really done much to the SR, still haven't got round to having a third attempt at fitting the strut brace, funds have been servely depleted this month due to the purchase of a race bicycle.
Good news however is that my replica graphics have been finished and will be fitted on 19th September so watch this space and let me know what you think.
-
I'd be interested with one for the SR
-
Cool item may have to put my name down for one dependent on how its fitted
-
I could be interested will wait for the pics
-
Just bought the rocker cover kit from you just wondering when these will be back in stock and also the batter clamp?
-
the brace WILL go on mate, loosen the fuel filter and bend it back then rest brace on one bolt on each side and whack it down.......will take abit of force bit it will go on
no need to worry about the filter i ran one for ~3 years without issue looking to get another soon
id ask for a refund on the deflectors ^
Ok I'll give it a go with the hammer as that's how I feel about it right now lol
The chap has given me a full refund for them but they were such a bargain at £30 quid delivered and with the clips that's what's annoyed me the most but there you go.
-
Not having much luck with parts for my SR still can't get the Glanza brace to fit properly and now my bargain genuine Toyota Wind Deflectors with the clips which I recently purchased has been broken by the seller trying to remove them from the car he was breaking.
Anything else want to go wrong.

it takes a while for the picture to go through the full database, and it also can be related to your cookies,
just give it time
Thank you for that it has now appeared, will remember that for next time.

Welcome to the site

Pics? I had a gt one on my sr but I didn't have an air box! The filter needed forcing down a little and back! It took a bit of force!
Maybe i'll give that a go 3rd time lucky and all that lol
-
on mine there's somthing in the way to the right hand side i tube shaped thing with a bolt on top? same as yours?
That's the fuel filter I did try to move it closer to the bulk head by removing the two rubber grommets which did give the brace a little more clearance to be able to get it over the threads but it was still in the way along with the airbox, bloody thing!!!
I think it would go on if I removed the airbox but I want to get the engine pretty much as is so may have to find an alternative.
-
Same problem it's pissing me off!
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one then!
-
I had a second attempt at fitting the Glanza brace to my SR by removing the rubber grommets from the fuel filter to mover it closer to the bulk head this time I managed to get the brace over the threads but its still getting caught on the filter and won't go down any further due to the air box.
Any other ideas to get this to fit or would it be worth getting a different brace?
-
Looking good!
Please let me know if you manage to get those SR graphics replicated
I want to get some, but for the side ones I want them as if the side bump strips aren't there ie complete rather than the "cutout" design they have normally
Yeah no worries will keep you posted!
-
Lovely nick that is matey! made some decent progress already. and the strut braces do fit, but you have to have a little fiddle with them to get them sat properly, mine i just removed the rubber washers and pushed the bracket brack. its close but it fits
Thanks for that, maybe i'll have another go at fitting it tomorrow and see how I go!

Been playing around with the car again today
Added my personalised plate
Found this while tidying up my loft yesterday must have bought it a while ago for another one of my cars also found an old Mitsubishi mesh grille lying around so installed that, its amazing what you find and also saved me a few quid
New reservoir covers turned up much better than the Monster ones
Then decided on getting the modelling brush out and painted the heat shield, radiator stays, coolant bottle stay and some other bits and pieces.
Also tried to have a go at fitting a Glanza strut brace but it didn't fit due to I think the fuel filter getting in the way so back to the drawing board on that idea, so this maybe up for sale.
Took the car to the sign company today to get a quote on getting the graphics replicated so waiting on their response.
Managed to also take a few of my own pics of the car today
-
Dropped the car off first thing this morning for its MOT and I spent most of the day biting my nails but finally had a phone call late this afternoon stating she had passed with flying colours and no advisories which pleased me no end.
When I got her home decided to finally try and find the source of the doggy smell that was still lurking in the car which I found was emanating from under the back seat so spent the rest of the afternoon getting rid of all the dog hair, nice!!!
Can't wait for tomorrow as have a few more new bits to add to her so watch this space.
-
1) TrisK blue (With the nut kit as in our PM)
2) SiMX5 Red (Plus longer rods)
-
Really nice motor
-
hazzagrey has 1 for sale i think hes got a thread in parts for sale
Just seen it thanks a bit out of my price range at the mo which is a bugger
-
I really fancy having one of those armrests so if anyone knows of one going let me know!
-
That is the correct part number just looked it up!
-
Do you have a clue what other bits were still available? The guy at my local toyota didn't really seem to act like he cared trying to help when I enquired hil about a tte backbox (discontiuned)
To be honest there's not alot available through Toyota anymore as the majority of it has been discontinued due to the age of the Starlet.
The guy at my local Toyota has been very helpful quite surprised he hasn't told me to piss off yet with all the questions I keep asking him lol at the end of the day that's what their there for.
