mx5 wheels fit and are dirt cheap...need a 5mm spacer on the front...ran them on mine.

Afternoon you beautiful people... Am in the process of repairing 80% of my little starlet...it looks like a fat birds thighs its so dimpled. Question is, how do I safely remove the outer of the 2 weatherstrips on the doors (where you roll the window down...say where your arm would rest if you were cruising lol) Just thought I would ask before I started levering things...didn't know if it travels behind the mirror or anything. Cheers in advance...Mike.

Purchased a strut brace - tracked, well packaged, top bloke. Thanks.

Are the braces the same as an ep91. They look it from memory but would rather be sure...will take one if so...

Does anyone have a set of these kicking around? Im after some cheap for my daily, just for the lols really! Am based near Portsmouth, will collect within reason but obviously dont worry if you are up in glasgow or anything! No big deal just literally fancy them for a giggle! Photobucket is being annoying so I cant put the pic up same as the rims on this one... http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/47538-my-red-glanza-rep/ Thanks

got one on mine from when i used her as a works van! problem is, theres no factory mounts for it, and no roof gutter for the traditional clamps, nor are there rear doors or opening windows for the other types!!! soooooo mine is kinda welded on :s regret it now as i no longer need it and will have to grind the mounts off lol!!! strong as fook tho and well handy!!! the only way i found to run one without being a pikey and welding is to have 2 bars quite close together clamped into the front door shut...like this: but thats not very functional!!! the only kits i found on ebay were this

Looks nice, is it lowered on coilovers/springs/chopped?

Looks like a tidy one! Wheels came up a treat!

Have a peek in my build thread in the ep91 builds! Well easy, on mine it had 2x power leads and 2x earths (1 for the counter 1 for the illumination) i twisted these together to make 1 power 1 earth! Took power from my head unit! Earth it to the body! The rev feed (green on mine) needs a male spade connector then that plugs into the spade in the diagnostic box under the bonnet (back right as you look at the bay) cant do pics atm as on my ipad but its easy, and im crap with electrics!

Haha random, the gti wheels cleared the calipers easily but id put say a 5mm spacer on the fronts as they are high-offset and rubbed on Lock, was running 195 50 15s on them fyi...

Miniman: 7mm spacer just found my 10s in the shed, couldnt remember! 10 didnt leave enough thread for the nuts...

Cheers mate O.K the wheels are a direct fit on the rear, centre bore and PCD is exactly the same, on the front they need a 10mm spacer to clear the calipers, they dont have much thread left though, i need some longer studs really! Then just lightly tighten the wheelnuts with the wheel off the ground, do pairs opposite each other, this will centre the wheel as you no longer have the hub for location... The piping is just some ebay heavy-duty flexi! I must update this, have binned the charcoal filter, moved the fuel filter, fitted a glanza strut brace, and have some nice pics from the retro

Still got these?

Hi guys, need to replace my knackered shocks soon, prices seem a bit steep on ebay etc, but also dont want to waste my money on ropey secondhand items, so if anyone has some decent shocks that still have a bit of life left in them, ill be very interested! Would prefer at least the fronts to be uprated or at least gas!!! Anything considered within reason, as long as it doesnt exceed ebay prices!!!

Seconded, great to deal with, top bloke.

Would recommend matty as a seller, got my brace in under 48 hours, excellently wrapped and a pleasure to deal with!

Pm on its way

Just gave her a wash and tickle as off to the retro rides show this weekend which hopefully means some track time too

Hah cheers, its not intentional rat-look its just a state ;) gone from being a runaround to potential euro look to van to whatever this is! Starlets have really grown on me now though, id like a nice one to do properly!

Love it, used to do a few scatter rallies and 12 cars in an old skoda favorit! Good fun

OK sooo more progress: I had so many loose ends after the last bodging/smacking/tweaking session! First job up was to do the exhaust... Cherry bomb!!! Being tacked onto the old hangers which were cut off the standard backbox... Look at the delights of Mikey B's belly haha, as you can see the 'zorst sat really high, we had to hack a bit out of the rear panel haha! The driveway was a bit busy that day too, the mk3 estate, my starlet, the drifty and now RWD welded diffy audi a4 and some other tat! My rear bumper was full of pug and mesh as the car it came off in the scrapyard had a wobbly exha

I got all creative and whacked my sharpie out! (oo-err) my driving style is a lot like this game at the moment, always ends with an angry bird! opinions welcome oh and talking of birds, for the eagle eyed among you (geddit?) yes I know I still havent welded my strut brace in! its a good fit though, smacked in with a hammer and its been there all week lol!

not on the same magnitude as the update from sunday but... went and had my car 4 wheel aligned earlier on, i'd love to say it now handles on rails but my drive home was in mega-summer traffic (the joys of living in a seaside resort) but hopefully i'll have a fun commute in the morning would recommend alignment over tracking though, i knew my rear end needed tweaking with the adjustable panhard and all, and even with the standard front end (save the lowering springs) they still adjusted a bit of camber etc...oh also my rev counter is blue and awesome...little things please little minds lol

Mega-update alert!!! So have a bit of backstory... Right, so as anyone who has previously looked at this thread will know, my little starlet (charlotte) started life with me as a rear-ended, bog standard base spec starlet, i then tidied her up a bit with things like a de-wipered rear and some old rover gti alloys, and painting the bumpers/mirrors/scuttle/wipers etc... Her second evolution was started by me getting a mega-cheap set of BBS alloys, these didnt fit however it planted the seed and she was then lowered a silly amount on choppy springs over standard rims... Her 3rd evolution came ve
