DavidAshton Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Been on here a good 6 months now and never got round to posting my car up so here it is at last. Got the car in August last year off my very kind mother, for nothing. Unfortunatly I dont have any before pics but it was just a box standard sportif with very pink paintwork, too a lot of effort to get it looking red again. Spec List is as follows:SR Speedline alloysAnodized red lug nutsWind deflectorsColour coded door mirrors Square import style number platesDe badged then added a nice new Starlet badgeDe stripped side bump stripsReflet rear lens'Clear indicator lens'OEM headlight coversTTE backbox Corolla inlet manifold painted merc silverToy Tuning resoviour coversK & N panel filter-40mm PI springsTRD quickshift setSR clock conversionGlanza early spec front and rear seats in the nice dark blue colourGlanza drinks holderThere is probably more but thats all that i can remember right now......PicturesIts really hard to take good pictures of red cars, they always seem to come out looking more pink but it is nice and shiney red in person.The plan now is to keep this as it is untill I can insure a Glanza (5 months to go) got the money ready just need my 1yr ncb, so any new parts i buy for it will be things that I can transfer into the Glanza. I have got some OEM n/a foglights on order too but toyota seem to be taking there time as usual. Ill try and keep this updated with new pics as much as i can.David.

Sparky Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Looks nice and neat mate May pinch your idea with the ToyTuning sticker on the back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Looks good mate.Only thing i would recommend is changing the square front plate, to the proper import size one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 wow.. first set of starlet headlight protectors ive ever seen very nice car mate... glad to see your a red owner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barneyboy1997 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 good to see another red ep in here. Personly what i would do next is paint the mirror backing plates black. mine were faded like yours are and brighted them up so much. Also clear repeators for the wing's. Sweet ep man keep it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 you need a set of crystal lights on there mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Jealous....Thats kinda what I've got planned for mine in the futurewhen money allows it...But they look really kool in red Keep it up man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Looks very neat David, so much better now that its lowered. Reflets look nice too I think a spoiler would compliment the look nicely. Also, buy the crystal wing repeaters I have for sale! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Everyone always tells me to change the orange side lights but I like them, think they work well against the red. Also im not a fan of spoilers on the n/a's, its either full Glanza or none at all for me. But i think im going to take Liam's suggestion up and get a proper size import plate for the front, i got the front one well before i got the back so thats why they dont match.Anyway did a quick bit of diy this weekend. Relaised the chaces of getting a TRD dial surround is rather slim so I painted the dial surround I had off the sportif clocks gloss black. I think it worked pretty well too so im pleased with the results. Was going to do the centre console but i think it will look rather bodged so didnt bother. Took a few pics, although it does look loads better in person.BeforeAfterHopefully ill have the OEM n/a fogs soon, sick of waiting for them now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Not updated this for a bit so thought it was about time. Got some crystal headlights a few months back thanks to Rick and TC trading, also put the orange indicators back on as they were the first thing i swapped when the car was standard, quite like them orange now. Also got a proper import size front plate the same size as the back just as liam sugested, so thanks for that, looks loads better.Pics:The plan was then to leave it as it was but things never go to plan and i decided to get her decated last week, defo one of the best things ive done, has brought the exhaust to life and pulls so much harder now, no more flat spots.Made a few vids with the decat, the exhaust really was silent before.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EmGzT_c7pwhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgaB33gGAwMand a few pics although its just a metal pipe:And just a random pic from my front room of where she lives now ive moved house:Desperate for a good clean, will get done this week. Plan again is to leave the car as it stands now as its just under 3 months till ill be able to insure a Glanza, next update should be putting her back to standard so she can be sold.

Sparky Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Front looks super sexy mate I will take teh Rolla mani off you Good luck with finding a nice Glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Looking good mate. Front looks loads better, its amazing how much a little mod like a numberplate can actually make. I would also be interested in the De-Cat if you sell it when you return to standard, aslong as Idrees dont take it of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidAshton Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Every post I make I say it will be the last update because im getting a V but yet again things didnt go to plan haha.........Inspired by JAG, created by Idrees........Seen as i was going to keep the speedlines for the glanza I though id get them freshened up and enjoy the last few weeks with the n/a. They look so much better in person and i love them, anyway more pics.......Then I though id try some moving pics out of the window, think they look quite cool.I promise this is the final update for this car, going to look at my first V this saturday.CheersDavid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
