Mad Matt Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 After 2 months of searching I found one.I flew over with Easyjet to Luton where we where picked up by the previous owner, nice chap Then after inspecting it I bought it and on we went, all the way back to Rotterdam.Here we where waiting for the boat to take us from Dover to Dunekerke.After a 16 hour day we where finally home around 11pm, but loved every minute of it, love the car!Options:Full toyota kit incl duckwingClimat controlElectric folding mirrorsElectric sunroof (love it)Extra's:Black Racing Pro N1 16" black wheelsKoni yellow shocksAutogauge boostgauge (multi-color, woohoo)HKS mushroom filter (in a time long long ago it was yellow, now shiney black)Then after a waiting periode of more then a week last Thursday was finally the day that I could get it registered. After a short MOT i checked out and had to pay 90 quid in taxes (the idiots took the cheapest starlet available and calculated the tax on that, saved me about 100 quid ) Now I'm just waiting for the registrationpapers and new plates.As you might have guessed, i chucked out the Autogauge and replaced it with a HKS gauge:I've ordered the following parts and hope they get here soon so i can install them:HKS replacement filters (bright blue)HKS FCDWork RS lugnuts (blue)TRD shiftknobNew gun metal metallic GLANZA stickers for the sides (its easy when you can make them yourself at work) And I still want to order a few more things, but I have some other priorities first (like furniture )New set of headlightsFMICHKS Hi-power exhaustHKS SSQVLong story, hope I didn't bore you guys And last I have a question, can someone explain this little sticker for me?thanks.

Liam_D Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 That little sticker is explianing what the tyre pressures should be mate.Although i would ignore it as yours has aftermarket wheels/tyres on it so it wont be the correct pressure. It looks nice anyway mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
