EP70-PT Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The euro dash is different, and looks better imo... We have a desmister switch and a blank on the ep91's so it's good to go... Also mate, on your clock light dimmer, is the plug behind the dash already or I have to wire it?? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR-2 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 I continue my regular n/a story...Winter came to Finland and it means that I have to work more and less car building :/So wintertyres have to use and I'm using my old gunmetall painted 14" Mille Miglias from 90's.Added some used Bosch Rallye 225 highbeams for this darkness.Extra bracket under registerplate and one extra support bar in the middle, so bumber didn't shake so much. And on top also, had to do bended support bars because of mask and hood.City fwd rally car :/Poor Paseo, haven't done anything to her, 5E-FE still inside, waiting for 4E-FE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Then was time to go 2din radio.Only have to bend oem brackets 90 degrees.Also cutted IS200 centerconsole part to get cupholder.Just layin there, no screws.Idiot place for that, but better than nothing.

MR-2 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Then I bougt "Whitestars" Olli's old jdm tail lights bottoms and he keeped his lenses. Plan was to do some bigger driving lights. Cutted walls litle bit so light can glow bigger area.Ready for painting.Old with half tinting film vs new bottoms.Modded lights.Not big difference, but maybe somebody will notice Frozen one. I used to have full tinting, but like this half tinting more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR-2 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Last spring I asked Olli "Whitestar" if he wants to sell me his old TTE wheels from his Glanza, time wasn't right. Drooled those many years in the Helsinki when I was garbage man, casually saw his car parked on street. Day came and I met him at American car show, where his beatiful car was standing Here was the wheels, sorry Olli I tooked screenshot Then the day came and Olli asked if I would like to buy those wheels, of course. I missed one wheels once and very rarely seen thise in Finland. Always liked those 90's wheels, don't know why, most of people maybe thinks that those are ugly or too old modell. Wheels seen also on HyperRev book, 15x7" size.Day finally came and I collected 16x7,5 ET35 wheels from Ollis garage, thanks man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Here is Ollis insta, I'm not there, somebody maybe following him https://www.instagram.com/ollyollee/And here few fotos about his car with those wheels.Other Starlet guys instas arehttps://instragram.com/robi_chris/https://instragram.com/luximo/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Wheels came to home and unpainted center panels also. Wheels are powercoated and panels are plastic so not powercoated. Some scratches on them, don't care, gona paint those anyway.155/80R13 vs 195/40R16My last summer Renault wheels 195/50R15Not looking good as Ollis car :/What a tractor :/ Offset is maybe just perfect.

MR-2 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Started to fix panel screw holes, all cracked and not fixed well. Earlier fixed over with plastic padding, didn't hold at all when I knifed those little bit.Cutted cylinders also away, so can glue some better system wider area, so panels will not drop ever. Have to figure something later... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Tooked tyres away and did good wash, overal powercoating in good condition.Maybe from year 1996? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
