  1. Really smart looking V mate, you don't see many '99 spec ones about.

    Any pics of your old GT ?

    Thanks mate I don't have any unfortunately but dean off here has which I've asked him for several times get on it dean! I did it matte black with black wheels and gloss black rising sun on the bonnet lol looked stealthy as fook at night

    Looks absolutely mint mate. Them alloys look much better now, looked like a halfords specials in the first pic

    Thanks mate I thought the same about the wheels lol

  2. Haha fair play, I'm finding this site really helpful for information so I'll keep looking into it over the winter but yeah I love these cars! I had an old gt a few years back but it was a bad example really a bit of a dog... good laugh tho

  3. Thanks mate, plans are a set of dc coilovers which a mate is holding onto for me and some different alloys (anyone want to swap?) and I want to td04 it later on when I can afford to have it set up properly but for the near future it's a 2.5" system with no boxes and a blitz nurspec backbox, and as soon as funds allow I definitely want a front mount. It's a slow process ain't it I'm sure we all have big shopping lists :)

  4. Thanks for the good comments :) the guy I brought it off told me it was made late 99 so was one of the last ones made but I had no idea when they stopped making them tbh so just took his word for it

  5. Picked up my new starlet a few weeks ago, a 99 Glanza v so I may aswel start my build thread now, I brought it from a guy in Bolton who'd imported it himself but didn't really use it. It was standard apart from the alloys and a greddy turbo timer :)

    First thing I did was lower it because it looked stupidly high so I fitted some tein 57mm lowering springs which gave me about 40mm drop

    I drove it like that for a week or so and decided I didn't like the wheels I couldn't decide wether to sell them or not so I took them off the other day and sprayed them white for now, look better imo

    Also fitted a hks ssqv with the help of Dean Rogers (RW developments) who welded a larger diameter piece of tubing onto my so that it would fit without a reducer hose

    The cars paintwork had the usual hazy finish so I tried some t cut on the rear bumper and it came up nice

    I managed to get the whole car done and waxed aswel today I'm nackered but it was worth it it looks ten times better :)

    I also fitted an air filter, decat pipe, a hks actuator and a boost gauge. I set it to 0.8 bar but with the cold weather it did fuel cut and the eml came on so I've set it slightly lower and it's ok now and pulls harder than it did :)
