Tahiti Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 I have only just found this forum and it looks the nuts.Hope to be posting a bit on here.Cheers, RobEdit - my excuse is it's early in the morning - my wife's the SR owner - I'm not the wife as the topic states Quote
whitestarlet Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 welcome to the site rob!! always liked the SR. there are a lot of n/a owners on here so you will never be stuck!! Quote
Sparky Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Welcome to UKSC ;)Wow 7 years must of been nearly new when you had it ;)Get some pics of it up ;) Quote
Tahiti Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks one and all!Welcome to UKSC ;) Wow 7 years must of been nearly new when you had it Get some pics of it up :angry:Yep - nearly new - 19k on the clock when we bought it from our local Toyota Main Dealer. It's fairly standard (clear repeaters front and side, and decals removed) and a retrimmed interior to replace the one thing that IMHO let the SR down. Nice and subtle...Some pics taken last summer...Retrimmed interior (excuse the flip flop...): -Cleaning freak (that's me): - Quote
Nanglebadger Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 thats a very nice trim!!!! nice choice!!!!car looks mint, but i prefer SRs to keep the decals on them, jus my taste as i like them.very cool car! enjoy your stay on UKSC!Phil. Quote
Tahiti Posted April 19, 2008 Author Posted April 19, 2008 Cheers Phil.I know what you mean about the decals. I liked them a few years back (and still do on the white ones). Quote
Sparky Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 WOW thats super clean and that interior looks like it should of been there from day one!!!Top work I also spot Toyo T1R's on there :angry: Quote
Tahiti Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks for the comments.We've used a few different tyres over the years, and the T1-R's suit the Starlet well. We've just swapped the fronts for some Yoko S-Drive's and although it's early days I don't think they're as good. Quote
BenV Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 thats a very clean example.the interior looks mint Quote
Tahiti Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 It is an everyday driver, but it only does 6-7k miles a year, and it's not driven hard. Quote
jase Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Hey welcome, beautiful SR mate. Love the interior, where did you have that done? and was it expensive? I've got the yoko s-drives all round, wish i'd paid a bit extra n gt the toyos now tho, lol.jase Quote
Sparky Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I got the Toyos for £31 off camskill.com Quote
Tahiti Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks again.The interior was done when we bought it - organised through the main dealer. I don't remember but I can't believe it was stupidly expensive at the time (it was a long time ago mind you).T1-R's for £31? For 195/45s? Bargain!When we bought the Yoko's, the Toyo's were the same price (just out of stock). I've had good experiences with Yoko's on other cars, and these aren't bad (just a little less sticky than the T1-R's). Quote
Tahiti Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Ah fair dos.Off topic - I'm loving your front wings Sparky. Quote
Galliano Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 welcome along man, very clean motor your wife has Quote
