Don't put the number plate at the bottom dude I think it would not suit the car!

I doubt you would pass MOT without a Car on a UK Starlet

You want the manifold from a Bugeye Corolla with the 4EFE engine

decent brake set-up :unsure:

a. means you'll be able to get places faster optimising your braking ability before corners...etc

b. will save your life if you have some numpty pull out infront of you

c. is a must for anyone with a heavy foot that wants to go fast

I was gonna say Camskill but Sparky got there first.

You can also try e-tyres.co.uk but Camskill seem to be a lot cheaper.

No one can beat me for cheap tyres though. :angry: :(

And no-one say insure it as a 1.3 lol cause there's no point insuring it atall if your gonna do that! lol

Yeh nice drop indeed looked silly on that 17" wheel lol
