bdohohh

Lmao haha! Fair play for holding it and not loosing it lol!

Yeah defo get a vid up! Always love the sound of a hks!

yeah I'm still not used to the power of this wee beast, only a little step up but compared to my yaris this feels like a feckin supra hahaha. plus I'm a bloody bollocks of a driver.

i'll see if I can convince someone to stand on a roadside or maybe even near a tunnel to get a drive by of it! Would quite like to see how it sounds from the outside myself anyway.

Sweet exhaust! Had a HKS back box on my old blue one! sounded mint!

Air filter is good also! Keep the updates coming! ;)

air filter and HKS together make it sound so good, might get someone to video a drive by cause it sounds sweeeeet on the road!

Thanks pal!

Still getting used to the coil overs, almost shat my pants earlier coming round a corner, roads over here are a bollocks so it was bouncy as f*ck :L My foot jittered up and down on the pedal and ended up losing it a little and flooring it when I finally made it round the corner.

Van behind me actually had a dropped jaw, probably thinking "the funk is this girl doing" hahahaha

Susan found her voice today.
Drives mint with the new coil overs! and just sounds perfect now.

bitta custom blue tubing and the new mushroom filter.

Yeah man! going glanza kit with a twist, Copying some design in japan looks mad! Shall be looking like it soon!,

Glanza kit with a twist.. can't wait to see that! keep it up man!

Air filter is now on! Getting the wheel alignment done and then wheels and exhaust system. Will take it somewhere to get some nice snaps today maybe

Cars coming together well now!,

Very clean! Keep the updates coming!

Thanks pal!!

That actually looks mint! I'll look into that I hadn't considered it before.

student so basically scamming the govt of money... haha. spending this summer in med research for queen's uni belfast though.

Looking really smart, I would keep the bump strips, it splits it up and matches the alloys. If you took them off it would just be massive white panels and look very plain imo.

Cheers mate. Yeah I totally agree..when I see it right :L Sometimes I look at it and just think their horrible, but it'll take a spontaneous decision one day for them to come off, until then they're staying.

yeah I'd definitely not swap them if they were factory but I'll see! Still unconvinced. I look at the car in some light and think, hey they look alright, then in another way and they look vile haha.

So susan got her low on tonight. sitting pretty. first time i've driven a car with coils, it's an experience anyway But it looks class and sticks to the road like poo to a blanket now.

didn't have time/got too tired to do anything else so the new exhaust system, HKS air filter and some blue tubing for the engine bay is all going on tomorrow.

Plus might put my purple Tom's back on, just to have purple wheels again, and so the speed lines can get rubbed down and ready for paint.

All in all, a good first days work on her!

Looks pretty clean!
There's a load of stuff you can get started on that shouldn't affect insurance too much. My first car was meant to be cheap on insurance so no mods, ended up doing shite tons to it and my insurance was never affected!
Look forward to seeing what you do with this mate.

love how import plates really seem to make a big difference starlets! looking mean buddy.

what would Aidan say ..... tut tut

but in all honesty I know exactly what u mean the vibe on ycuk is all wrong ukso FTW

Aidan's probably one of the worst for it :L I've talked to a quite a few members who feel constantly belittled by him and he's talk to me pretty rudely before on the forum

I really like a few people on it, but the proportion of arseholes to nice people is waaay off.

UKSO is definitely the best forum I'm on by a mile.

To be honest having come from the "yaris" scene, this is so good!
Maybe just because I'm fresh in the starlet world but all of you are so so so much more helpful than anyone ever was on YCUK (apart from a few great guys obviously). Parts are more available, and there's almost no starlets I've seen on here and gone "ugh that's horrible" whereas I only ever really liked one or two really impressive yaris's. The community for them is tiny and the fact so many people aren't all that nice is so off putting.
I always got so much patronising for being a girl whereas here I don't get that at all! Even though I'm not very mechanically minded (yet) I get the vibe people don't mind answering my stupid questions, whereas on YCUK there was blatant annoyance when I asked for help from certain members.
I've only owned my starlet for a week and already I feel like you lot have been more helpful than anyone was on YCUK to me! Also there's very few unconstructive wankers commenting really hateful things for no reason, whereas on YCUK that's every other bloody comment :L

So,I guess it has its problems but its not as bad as other scenes

This car is soooo clean! I'll keep my eye on this blog, cant wait to see what you do with her! keep the updates coming!

Lee

Cheers buddy! Will do, few car shows over here in the next few weeks so will be trying to get stuff done asap.

You'll make alot of people angry for "defacing" such a mint SR. haha.

I hated them at first, but now seeing them on the SR's with the stickers, I can see why thy're loved.

yeah i've already got some heat for saying I plan on putting glanza bits on hahaha. I've no intention of being another person who ruins an sr but I will be modding it. All reversible so it can be put back to standard one day though.

I'm not 100% about the bump strips. I could be convinced to keep them but I just don't like how they look.

Absolute nightmare, I ended up using petrol, and a credit card to scrape it off. Too many hours on it. :L

Ive heard since, using a caramel wheel lifts it quicker.

I'm sure I could get my hands on a caramel wheel. I was just going to try tar and glue or adhesive remover.

I really don't like them but can't decide if its worth it haha.

Personally I wouldn't go any lower than 60 depending on the sort of roads you drive on! And if the cars as nice underneath as it is on top you'll have it done within the hour!

Yeah it looks good so far, haven't had it on a ramp but just from seeing it jacked, looks almost entirely untampered with!

I was being told 45-50 but I saw some people have them dropped like 80! Think I will be safe and keep to around 50/60.

Major plans this weekend is D2's, change back to my tom's wheels until the speed lines are done being painted, and put my noise box back on and take off any silencers boxes that are currently there

How much work is involved in removing bump strips? Really annoying me but don't wanna take them off if it's gonna take me a week to get it looking nice again :L

Haha she wouldn't leave me alone. I kept hosing her down to make her leave but she just wanted to go for a ride!

Anyone have any recommendations on how low to go? Sitting 30mm front and rear atm, putting the d2's in tomorrow and no idea how low to go. First time putting coil overs in will be interesting I'm sure... Haha.

i love everything about this, minus the arches But love that you're doing something different!

is that peachyboi's yaris? seen it on YCUK, set of JBW's on it now?? loved the little green touches on that.
yours looks mint, love the wheel colour. looking lovely

love this! red seat is class

Looks so clean!!

Thanks! had to keep responging bits because the stupid ginger dick of a dog kept rubbing her nose across bits cause she loves the smell of the soap :L

Looks like an amazing base!

Thanks buddy! It's nice having a car with a little bit done to start, my last was 100% standard and took so much longer to get looking good. this already looks mint

Gave her a quick clean tonight.

The dog helped and then begged for a ride in it :L

liking where this is going! purple starlet would be mint!! ford velvet metallic purple maybe? Ive a set of toms in that colour and they're wee beauties, when polished they really shone and caught the light nice.
