Pierros Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 After sorting out the Paseo page, here is my first car (and first love), my EP91 Starlet. The car was bought back in 99' by my father brand new. Since then it has been our daily driver for both of us (mainly me, as my father travelled abroad and didn't use the car a lot). It is a 1.300cc, 5 door (unfortunatelly) Status edition that includes a/c, electric windows and hydraulic steering as standard. Little by little I took small steps modding it back. Now it is mainly my fathers drive, but I still keep modding eat when the Paseo doesn't eat all my paycheck .As the car is a daily runner the mods are more practical/comfort/aesthetic ones rather than performance, but we will see what is going to happen in the future Spec list:Engine-Custom Cat-back exhaust (mainly for the looks)-Denso Iridium IK16 spark plugsSuspension-Stock springs with Kayaba shocksWheels/Tyres-13' inch TSW Razor rims-Bridgestone B250 (165/70/13) tyresBrakes-EP91 Glanza rear disc-brake axle conversion-Ferodo brake pads (front) + Mintex (rear)-Ferodo fully synthetic DOT 5.1 brake fluidBodystyling-Glanza S front conversion (98' spec bumper with foglights, grill, S bonnet, headlights)-Llummar "Alu-light" window tints-Black sunstripe-Red painted calipers (front and rear)-Glanza replica rear spoiler-Glanza 98'spec tail-lights-Glanza front indicators with Philips Silvervision bulbs (to be installed)-De-badged rear door -Clear side repeaters-Heko front window tinted windshield-Glanza Jam eyebrows (waiting to be installed)Interior-Black/Grey custom seat covers-Momo Tomahawk gearknob-Leather gaiter-Glanza OE in dash cup-holderI.C.E-Pioneer DEH-6400 RCD-SPL Dynamics Component speakers (front)-Pioneer 6x9 3-way speakers (rear parcel)Security-Clipper Security 2-way car alarm Future Mod list- EP82 GT front strutbrace (or similar cheap one )- New shocks and springs (probably Koni yellow with H&R springs)- Corolla G6/Glanza S intake manifold- Aftermarket panel filter (K&N/Green/HKS/Blitz or similar)- Vision Motorworks 9mm, 3-core spark-plug cables- Custom 5 door fitted OE Glanza sideskirts- Leather retrim in rear seats/door cards to match buckets- Rear Glanza bumper (when I'll source one)- 6000k bi-xenon kit- New loud horn - Glanza S dial cluster- New 15'inch rims Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattyCD Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 your car looks straight out of the factory!front end paint job has been done VERY well. This has got to be the cleanest Starlet ive seen, inside and outdid you paint your cold air feed? it looks so glossy...P.S heat your bump strips with a hair dryer and pull them off, there is only glue underneath, will make it a bit more like a Glanza that way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pierros Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 did you paint your cold air feed? it looks so glossy...P.S heat your bump strips with a hair dryer and pull them off, there is only glue underneath, will make it a bit more like a Glanza that wayHehe no its not paint, its the standard colour, but I used a polish spray that is f*ckin amazing... this picc is 3 days after I cleaned it and teh parts that shine are not sticky!!! It also repels dust!Regarding the bump strips I know all about it, but I had a big "fight" with my father when I told him that I'll remove them, cause for some strange reason he wants them as they are Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep91face Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 you could paint over the paint strips in the same colour as the car then youl both be happy:Plovely car i think glanza side skirts would set it off nicely though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pierros Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 you could paint over the paint strips in the same colour as the car then youl both be happy:PHehe thought of that too, but I'm not paying a single penny for something that can be done for free (by removing them).Just one day my father will walk on the car and the strips will have "magically" disappear....
