  1. Yes. That means many bolts to put into my N/A bootlid. Damn. How did other N/A drivers fit this thing?

  3. As fas as I know the 8M2 is the rarest color for Starlets. Phil, how did you fit your Glanza Spoiler on your Bootlid? Some mods I've planned are: - a spoiler (guess which ;) ) - new Soundsystem (someone in a German HiFi Forum wants to sell me a very interesting bit for a really low price) - new front bumper and if I can get a matching other part (surprise) - tint the rear window and redo the sides - Corolla EE10 Exhaust Manifold (woohoo, like 5more bhp) - Struts and Braces. Everywhere - Lower it after finding new shocks. But as far as I see it now a "Gewindefahrwerk" (the thing the Meister Rs are, adjustable and stuff) is not much more expensive than good shocks and springs. So maybe I'll take one of those directly. Maybe buy for like 70€ some cheap lowering springs that might last for a year. Time will tell. First the struts.
  4. Hello together, I've finally got my Glanza spoiler after two months of waiting for it. I've gat a N/A Starlet, so I need at least to drill a hole for the brakelight in the spoiler. But what is the morst important problem for me: How is the Spoiler fitted on the Glanzas so that it's removable? I want to fit it exactly as it is fitted on a Glanza. If it wasn't too expensive I'd even get a Glanza Bootlid, but here in Germany there are exact 4 Glanzas or Glanza Replicas I know of, so not many spare parts to get there. And shipping to Germany is 80£, so as long as I don't make contact with someone in the UK to store parts for me temporarely to have them shipped to me every three months or so I can't buy much in the UK ;)
  5. Hey guys, I thought I'd introduce my german Starlet in the edition "Moonlight". As of now it's a more or less standard N/A but I already have my plans... And for the beginning excuse possible translation failures, I'm good at general English but the specialized parts such as Motor parts are hard to learn. First how I got her: Exterior: I've not seen ANY Starlet with this color on here. In Germany the Moonlight Editions came in two colors. This 8M2 metallic-blue and in Black. Main features of the Moonlight are 13" alloys from Factory, mirrors and bumpers in car-color as well as a sunroof. At least that are the only things I know. Motor: Interior: I then made some pictures of the worst parts of the color, viewable in this Gallery: http://www.abload.de...hp?key=kFd4J1YD Also I removed the things on the seats (what are they called?) and discovered the following: They've seen better days... So in the near future I'll get the much much better seats from the Paseo for the front (afaik they are the same as the GT or Glanza ones ;) ) and drop the rear bench out. I then did a few bits and bobs on the car. I had a failure on the cables that go to the spark-plugs, the cable to number 3 melted. So I bought some new cables and spark-plugs. A member of the german Starlet Club also fitted a E11 intake manifold on our annual Clubmeet: Now the interior as it is today: There are 13cm Speakers ;) I also like my Smartphone to lay stable on top of my dash so I bought something, very cheaply, from China (together with some Valve Caps with Toyota Logo on them): The Exterior also saw some minor changes: Full list of the few mods done so far: - UK-spec rear light on the left side - Changed front speakers to 13cm ones - Some Stickers on the rear side windows and fuel cover (or what's it called) - tinted rear side windows dark black (selfmade, not perfect but with 7€ or 5£ for the foil really cheap) - front indicator lenses changed to clear ones - Gearknob changed to a plished alloy one - Corolla EE11 intake manifold - an alloy-look plastic on the entrance things under the doors There are some other mods I have in mind. I'm also talking to a member on here for a few bits. I'll give no hints ;) Also today a part arrived that needs a lick of paint to fit my car and is one of the standard mods done on here. I'll give out pics when this is on my car ;) Greetings from Germany, Renko (and no, that's not another nickname)
  6. Okay, so I read all of this now. Till like page 90 on my Smartphone, took me one week reading in the evenings and not accessing other parts of the Forum from my Smartphone ;) I really love how it went, except the parts where something didn't go as wanted. But it gave me many ideas for my little Starlet. It's still online although the guy told you to remove it ;) Riko is missing as your Loverboy and Parts-buyer May I ask, will you ever sell that illuminated Ignition Barrel? I'd love to have one, would certainly be the only guy in Germany having that ;) Also you would save a few grams if you lose all that covering parts in the... I think dashboard is the word. Where you gauges are fitted ;) Greetings from good old Germany, Renko
  7. No, I meant this lower bar: http://www.ultraracing.com.my/Bars.asp?ID=2614 I think it doesn't fit as it's not listed for the EP91 on the your website, but according to the group-buy pricelist I have here it shall fit Oo @daniel_g: acutally, yes, I could buy stuff from the members here. But I'm talking with a member here about a frontbumper to be shipped to me and he said the cheapest shipping he could get was 80£. So that won't be that much cheaper, except I get to know someone on here better that I can trust to have different parts shipped to him first and he ships them to me once a while, e.g. after I bought like 4 parts for each like 50€ or stuff like that. THEN it might be cheaper. But to be honest, I don't know you lads much as of now. And I don't know anyone in the UK, sadly. I once met a guy in the US that was from UK, but that was 7 years ago and we don't have contact anymore. He must be 19 by now....
  8. Waht about a rear lower brace? although on the pricelist I have here it's the same as on the EP80/82, will that still fit?
  9. But to get the credit for buying that stuff I need to get together parts for more than 200€. And just the front and rear strut braces are at 160. With the C-Pillar I'm at 240. What else would you suggest from the your store? />http://www.ultraracing.com.my/Catalog.asp?Brand=Toyota&Model=Starlet%20EP%2090,91&page=1 Here's a link. I would really appreciate if you could say what else you would say I should get. Except the Anti-Roll Bars, they are 160 or 170 alone, that's too expensive for me at the moment.
  10. Why not take the C-Pillar bar?
  11. I'm lucky, in the German Toyota Forum there is a group by from your parts, so I'll get myself front and rear strut braces and a C-Pillar bar to start with. I think that will stiffen the car up quite a bit, am I right?
  12. The tyres need to be roughly the same in ... erm... you know, the distance they're rolling in one turn of them. Is it diameter? I don't know. But I know 15inches are allowed at 195/45. Otherwise I can spend a 140€ maximum a month. Would allow for some lowering coilovers if I used the stock shocks. Or a front OR rear strut brace I think, even the good one from Ultra Racing out of the US. It's a matter of fact, I need more money to be able to spend more on my beloved car.
  13. Hey guys, I've got a fairly standard EP91 from 97 and I want to have a better handling. Where should I start? It has to be German street legal so I can't lower till the wheels rub, but would be a lowering of like 35mm bring me a bit of better handling? And then what's next? I really don't know what to get first.
  14. Like I said, many of the parts you UK-Freaks have would be worth the high shipping fees.
  15. One of the "Shop-Owners" on here offers Carbon-made Cambelt Covers but I personally don't like Carbon-stuff that much. Maybe if I have some more bit's that look good together. Too bad, the starlets are getting old an the market is shrinking rapidly...
  16. So they're really rare? that's a pitty, because I'd love the look of seeing the cambelt move when the engine is on, kinda like an old steam engine. And for that reason I don't think anyone would sell his cover other than for the reason of breaking the whole car =(
  17. As stated above, I'm searching for a (semi) transparent Cambelt-Cover (that's the one having the "(4/5)E-F(T)E" sticker on it I think? Sorry, I don't know that much about motors until now AND I'm from Germany so I don't know all the specific English words for machine-parts) I've seen one on the Idworkz Glanza in orange-transparent And another user on here has a grey-transparent cover shown in his signature. As the German Starlet-part-market is nearly dead and not many good parts are to find, I thought I'd ask on here where to get those things. I know, shipping might be quite a bit more expensive but hey, "Who want's to be beautiful has to suffer" (literally translated from a german saying). Thank you in advance for your help.
  18. One of the best Setups out of a standard P9 is from the German User starmotion. You should search for him on here. I think he has a thread going (I'm reading his thread in the German Starlet-Club forum)
  19. One on here had a EP95 3-door with that front, I just saw it, but the thread is almost a year old and I think he don't have that parts anymore. I'll ask him nevertheless. As I said and as to be seen from your reactions: In Europe this front and look is really outstanding, nearly unique on a Starlet. That's why I want it, brave and elegant on the outside, beast on the inside. That's the final plan for my little 8M2-colored beauty.
  20. No one knows anything about that?
