Matts

Just a little update nothing much happening yet as of the weather being terrible recently and due to money! However i gave her a fresh set of front apec vented discs and blueprint pads which although not been 'ebc' and top brands the car stops like crazy! feels so different as when i brought the car the discs were pitted and the pads where seized! don't even know how she wa stopping! i post a picture later of the old discs! terrible!

I have purchased a set of GT seats which hopefully i will fit asap although im still unsure on them!

matt

simon

hey thanks simon mate means alot ill message you now.

Spoiler posted to n. Ireland?

You have a postcode i could use buddy to find the pricing?

Removed the spoiler from your 1st post, you havent put photos up in over two weeks.

When you have a pic you can put it back

thanks for reminding me, sorry! just uploaded pictures and added it again

Car mats sold without seat covers!

matt forgot corolla manifold check local scrap yards (viaduct and deatons) got the one on our matts sr from there £15 they charged which was very reasonable.

Thanks mate check your inbox i sent you a message ;)!

I'll write up what I'd do to this car exterior wise, maybe you like one idea or another:

- Remove Bumpstrips

- Make Decals as OEM ones but going through the lines where the bumpstripes where (might be hard to put on but doable I think)

- Glanza Spoiler, Rear Bumper and maybe Sideskirts

- Complete clear Indicators

- Nice lip on the Front or longer bumper like rob bower did on his silver one

- Change drivers side rear light for the LHD Passenger one (white field on both sides)

- Lowering it

- Nice subtle exhaust tip, no massive tip but a bit nicer than the stock peashooter. Not too big but a bit bigger than stock

- Other rims

I myself did some of them and am in the progress of doing the others in some sort. Seems to be not that often, especialy not the LHD rear light (whereas the RHD rear light from your passenger side is a common mod in Germany)

Thanks for all of the ideas ill take a few of those and put them to practice! thanks, yeah the lights would be good also!

leave the rubstrips on. the rule with an sr is that you should only do mods to it that you can revert back to normal!

and i wouldn't do much but preserve it. i spent 6 months and 120 quid looking for decals only to mess them up slightly and write the car off a few months later! gutted

dont worry i have this rule in my head! all mods will be changeable back to the original state bump strips will be staying i should think!

what this needs is coilovers, slammed on its hole, splitter, square plates, corolla inlet and uprated stainless exhaust manifold and straight thru exhaust then improve the interior with sounds and seats!

job done! and thats how an SR should be

Yeah would love coilovers wish i could afford some right now! and definately a splitter and import plates! and as for the inlet manifold i cannot find one anywhere!

Matt keep this as standard as possible, perhaps sensible mods, stainless cat back exhaust, panel filter, some interior improvements,not manyleft like this now, will hold its money better when you sell it for a glanza.

looks a really good car, you were very lucky to find this, appears that the long trip was worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thansk richdog! dont worry this will be standard and any mods done will be changeable back to standard sr really looking for a catback and panelfilter would love that but cant find an inlet mani anywhere!

Can't believe that insurance mix up mate I'm sure

You where fuming , the Sr looks great !! There hard to beat

Getting rarer these days looking forward to seeing the progress

yeah it really sucks was propper gutted! and thanks buddy means alot loving driving this! ill keep you updated as from payday

Nice car matt, great find. If it was mine i go for -Coilovers -stainless exhaust -clear indicators then leave the rest standered for when you come to sell it.

Definately coilovers and catback yeah and the indicators are being done trust me miss the old car though the one i brought from you! was a good car! especially once i had finished everything!

Ok so i am looking for a rear glanza bumper! Im hoping to find one in 1A0 as i don't want the trouble of spraying or paying a bodyshop again however if anyone has a different coloured bumper at a reasonable price i may be intrested!

Look at this on eBay:

Greddy emanage ECU Toyota Glanza/starlet SW20 EP82 EP91 AE86 3SGTE 4AGE 4EFTE

That's exactly my point aha thought i was correct, just love how quick the sr is really want a rolls manifold for her.

Ok so my new sr is by far in my eyes way quicker than my previous starlet cd glanza replica and the sr is standard i don't have a clue why but was browsing and noticed on the parkers figures website the sr says next to it that the engine is 1.3i where as the other starlets along with the cd which i had before just say 1.3 is there any difference or is my sr just quicker due to low mileage services and being 1 lady owner?

No mate I don't have them its on my list of possible things to do. But they would be orange and black.

Ahh s#*t i was planning the same aha i could go different i guess and that way be unique, what colors do you think would suit? i was going to go orange one side of the sr sticker and black the other with silver writing but now i will change, maybe blue, black and silver writing what do you think?

I've should have some getting printed up soon, just chased the dude up this week, should have samples very soon. I should be able to get custom ones done aswel as last i heard josh needed dimentions still.

Mine are getting copied from a OEM sticker set

Great let me know how they turn out might have to ask for details.

Yes I believe josh has the templates mate definitely worth dropping him a message.

Thanks rob ill give him a message you had custom didnt you? if so what colors did you go with? It's been a while since i was on the first pages of your build thread. Want to check i don't have the same idea

Matt

What Hou said, keep it looking oem, love em in silver and leave the sr decals on!!

Other than that coil overs/springs just to drop it a touch;)

John

Thanks John i also love this in silver! I could never go any other car than an ep i love these cars and cannot wait for boost! I have some nice plans for this however not going down the replica path i doubt i want this to be unique and OEM!

Lovely looking car oem FTW I'd love one as a second car

Thanks buddy means alot as above got some nice plans! Love this car!

Anyone know where i could get some custom sr decals made up? For example custom colours? Both sides and possibly front and rear? Relatively cheap? Was thinking about asking josh but never really spoken with him, is this an option?

Can i get my name added to the list will pay before deadline! Awaiting payday atm! Will bring the sr down as i won't have boost until the end of this year possibly! 3 months to spruce up the sr

Looks really well does that. You should do the clears and deflectors as you say, but then leave it as is

Yeah im going to do that i think definitely needs the indicators and deflectors anyone know where i can get fresh SR decals? one side has faded

Nice mate, did she come with the exhaust.?

Thanks buddy unfortunately no she came with the standard pea shooter on the lookout for a tte box although they are as rare as rocking horse s#*t

That must suck hearing that, after selling your baby and finding one you wanted

Sr looking good though, you should buy the cat back that is for sale on here for 200

James

Yeah it was a real killer was upset haha alteast i have this beauty now I wouldn't mind a tte back box or alteast a cat back that is nice! Link?

Bad news about insurance dude Sr looks smart

Thanks mate means alot! I like you rep also buddy very nice, not far from me

Ok so many of you may know i recently sold my starlet cd which i almost finished repping and i regretted that greatly! the only reason i sold it was to upgrade to efte power however when going to purchase the nicest 98 spec fully optional kitted glanza my insurance company decided to make a mistake! they insured the glanza no problem they then phoned be back just before purchase explaining they had made a mistake and will not insure imports! leaving me with 2 options, forget a glanza for now and go back to 4efe or close my policy losing my almost complete years no claims and find a company that will insure the glanza! so i decided to go back to 4efe for a while.

Old thread: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/53929-matts-starlet-cd-build/

I and my dad managed to come across one of the nicest starlet SR's i have ever seen, 1 lady owner, 58,000 miles, full service history and recent cambelt changed and full service so i quickly purchased the SR and fetched it this morning, driving it back a few hundred mile in the snow! following my dad in his corolla! was quite fun!

Bare in mind this needs a clean after coming down the motor way in the snow and slush following the lorrys and so forth!

Pictures: (will add more later)

Thoughts guys, what shall i do next? got a few things in mind on payday, clear indicators, wind deflectors, so forth! optional extra hunting!

That is snow on the front bumper by the way guys!
