Basically, coilys for starlets are expensive. And i really cant afford them. I lowered mine not too long ago and the shocks are already going. I was wondering if anyones tried getting coilys designed for another car to go on a starlet? Like the micra boys fit corsa b coilys. And i adapted some ford probe coilovers for the front of my 106. Anyone tried anything like this before?

Ive always been interested in how its done, looks nuts!

offside mate

I reckon thats been dipped

Well my outer cv is creaking/rattling/whiring its tits off, and an ebay one is like £70. Need to change the box oil anyway so id prefer a full driveshaft. Its an ep91 n/a What you got?

Ah im running an apexi atm, i try to stay away from top end if im honest, purely because of fuel costs. Gahh im not sure what to go for now, i decatted it yesterday night and that made quite more responsive. hmmm, so pretty much the fte inlet is still better the corolla all round?

Them wheels are tasty!

How much is an fte inlet gonna set me back? And whats involved in fitting it as i imagine some bits wont be the same? Is it worth putting a fte throttle body on aswell then? Gutted that i didnt get the corolla inlet that was 20 quid now!

I did wonder how i was already joined up and logged in! Ive read that the corolla one gives it a better all round performance whereas the fte inlet gives better top end, im rarely in the top of the rev range! Also, how much should i expect to pay for a corolla inlet?

Same, got fed up today and just went home, a few other things wrong with them aswell but i reckon theres some loose pins somewhere making them have a mind of their own. Thing is i follorwed this guide http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8006 Pretty sure i put all the pins in the right places so god knows why im having problems with it!

Cant afford coilies yet, but yes, a coil did fall off the front springs... The splitter was in my garden and i thought why not, i though itd fall off by now! Na my phone was dead at the time, but they were et0 8j, fronts were stuck against the caliper carrier and all of them were ridiculously close to the arches. Orange ftw, side repeaters will be one of the things getting smoothed too. Well, got the paseo dials in today, dint all go quite to plan... And this is hows she sitting atm, need to take it all back apart and check the wiring, ballache!

Cheers lads! Never been a fan of mudguards, itll be going alot lower in the future! Little update of some parts ive acquired ep82 gt calipers Still need cleaning and painting Paseo dials, should be fitting these tomorow TTE spoiler, needs to be wrapped in satin and fitted, do these bolt on or just bond on? Having a nightmare getting a corolla inlet now, should be de-catting this week. And just a random one i took with my new phone Quality looked better on my phone lol All for now.

Its just a shame theyre so expensive! My mate came by and tried my g60s on his slammed astra van today, got a few pics Also just got an sr spoiler for free!

Bands, coilys and some smoothing are on the cards dont you worry!

I like to be different! This is my first clean-ish car ( theres scrapes everywhere that dont show up in pictures), ive only really had low rat cars in the past. Ive never seen a starlet on g60s before, and i got em for 40, well happy how much the changed the look of the car! Soon as i get the last g60 fitted ima try borrow my mates camera and take it for a wee shoot. Cheers for the kind comments lads!

Thats an awesome colour! Im tempted by that

Picked this up on my 20th for 500. Its a 97 sportif, fully standard when i bought it! Bit of a picture dump, done quite a bit already. G60 steel trial fit (with me and a mate 'lowering' it) Steeing wheel, headunit, mk2 breadvan gearknob, sticker to cover up holes from previous owners phone holder Strut brace Lowered Test fitted a mates rota's <3 De-bumpstrip Civic rad with custom made brackets Splitter With my mates ibiza de wiper grommet fell out, replaced with a domed dc sticker and toyota badge came off Apexi air filter, growls nicely without be

Banging, nice one mate, yeah im hoping it, will, getting it for £20, just gta make my exhaust and jobs a gooden! Cheers for the help, glad i found this place got no reply on uksc

So is the corolla one any different to mine? Jist wondering if its worth the extra £20 to get it with the mani. Cheers for the reply dude!

Just want to know if its worth buying the corolla throttle body with the inlet, just my orginal one or even getting the turbo one? Opinions please! Cheers!

Saweet, will whip that off tomorow seen as im not at work, may aswell clean it too lol. Also, opinions on leaving the orange indicators and side repeaters, or going smoked or clear?

cheers lads! just on cheap ebay springs atm, will be getting coilies when i can afford them! Quick question, do the toyota badges have holes behind them?

Well ive been wanting a starlet for ages, so on my 20th birthday i went and got one. Its a 97 sportif, fully standard when i bought it! Bit of a picture dump, done quite a bit already! Still so many things i need to do! G60 steel trial fit (with me and a mate 'lowering' it) De-badge and de-wiper Steeing wheel, headunit, mk2 breadvan gearknob, sticker to cover up holes from previous owners phone holder Strut brace Lowered Test fitted a mates rota's <3 De-bumpstrip Civic rad with custom made brackets And thats up to date, fractured my elbow on sunday so no dri

Cheers for the warm welcome! And haha, its been all over the internet recently! Plan wise, na, i dont want another car like the fiesta, it attracted way too much attention, and I broke so much on it because the gearbox/subframe sat about an inch from the floor. it will be going low and wide, but with 15s, getting fitment on 13s requires alot of lows, and driving 40 miles a day on crap roads has taken its toll on me! Plus im skint so i cant afford coilies yet lol

Hi, im Dan, got myself a starlet a couple of weeks back, a sportif in white. Pretty pleased with it, apart from the handling at standard height! (Im used to driving low cars!) Used to drive a mk4 fiesta, if anyone goes on rollinonsteelies.com, youll have seen it. Hopefully the forum can send me in the right direction with my queries! Cheers Dan
