Guest Enzo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 nice quad light you have, i take it uve just picked it up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeh, i put thoes pics up the day after i got it, was a wet drive home but brilliant fun, it has soooo much more grip than my old corsa. heres a few more pics of itIve got a few idea's of what i want to do, deffinatly needs lowered, probibly going to save for tien super streets as from what ive been reading they give a good ride with exelent handling, aparantly all the other coilovers have a silly high spring rate and break your back on anything other than smooth roads. Got to sort out wheels too, the 14" look lost in the arches. Also need to sort out the sounds, ive still got the toyota cd/tape deck in it, got some uprated 10cm speakers wich improved it but the sound is still crap. I'll probibly get a fmic for it too and a HKS silent hi-power exhaust also. All depends on what pay i get each month tho Im very happy i got this instead of the corsa sri turbo (new shape with the 1.6t in it, not an old B with a c20let wedged in the front...), Its quicker and probibly handles better too , oh and saved me 12k Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Graeme Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks man. Ive got a fair bit of stuff im going to order at the end of the month. I wont say what just yet, cause i dont really know myself. Wheels probibly, maybe a few engine bay parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Let the modifications comence!!! Just bought some wheels, rota grids 16" in bronze saw a pic of them on a black gtt and it looked imense so i had to go for it, with some yokohama tyres. That will be the end of the big mods till january mainly due to me starting to work sundays as of the 7th and generaly having no time to do the work. But over time means big pay and big pay means big mods. Planning on a wepr fmic, a mild steel manifold (from what ive been reading the mild steel ones are better than the stainless for starlets, someone please correct if im wrong) HKS Silent hi-power exhaust, coilovers (tein super streets probibly). I went for 16" over 15" as i like the way the look in the arches better. Pics will come when they arive ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Graeme Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 thanks man, should look even better when it gets lowered Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 was thinking it had a large gap, hope theres an update on that front soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Its actualy lower than what the pics show, i took them just after i fitted the wheels and the car hadnt moved. after i drove it the springs settled, its not massivly lower but its ebough. It still looks like its moonlighting as a 4x4 though. Its probibly going to be the end of jan befor i get it lowered, sooner if i get decent pay this month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Woooo! It passed its MOT today. just needed the cv boot replaced, so that was taken care of this morning. Took some pics just because i thought it was looking nice today.And the reason i was off the road for a weekend... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Graeme Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Quick pic of the engine bay now. Left camera on the wrong setting so it turned out very blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 good stuff mate, how did the hdi fit on a GT? was there much butchery of the bumper like on the ep91. seems to sit really well behind the bumper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
