davehart Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 very rare, but have seen one on the road before. Got any photos mate?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yeah I'll get some up as soon as poss.Its currently unmodified, the only things I've done to it are to put a CD player in there. Not that many 5 Door modded up Starlets around so I though i'd make mine look nice, well going to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scutch0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 backbox wise, there a sr backbox on ebay at the mo for £20... defo worth a look, because ive heard they sound quite nice!Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletSi Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Remember to get shocks and dampers as they don't last long with the lowering springs (depends how many bumps and potholes you hit). I'd also advise to get an induction kit. I've seen a green 5door up my way near Elgin and I've seen a white one and a blue one in Edinburgh - not modded though.

Shaun Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 it is just the back silencer not the from the cat thats why its could back box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 yeah, its just the rear section of the exhaust mate... its strange how we all use different words for stuff!!i.e;au; dump pipe = uk; downpipe Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
