RicoW Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Well I'm around here for a while, just reading and lookin around.I thought let's introduce myself My name is Rico 23 years old and I live in the Netherlands. (hence my bad english )I have quite a long starlet history...so let's start at the beginning:First I bought a crappy old ep70 with 1.0 engine...signed in on Starlet Club Holland, and got infected with the starlet virus built in a 1.3 engine to make it a bit quicker, and gave it a bodykit.after a lot of hassle with the engine I gave up and sold the bodykit and brought the car to the scrapheap.pic of the car:a piccie of the car sent to the scrap (along with the donor car)then I bought an other ep71,and made almost like circuit worthya few things I modifiedWeitec shocksCamberplates @ 1,4 negative.Whiteline Adj. Rear Swaybar & adj. Pan hardrodCusco Lower Arm barCusco Heavy Duty StrutbarWhiteline Anti Liftkit.in the end it was stiff as hell really liked the handling of the car, but still too slow on straight end...so I threw in a bit faster engine still need to laugh about the fmic pipes, uuh silicone bends more but it worked and it was fast as hell...after planning to move to my own house (was losing my hobby room with bridge for the car etc)I sold the car to go for a bit bigger...not going to post any pics of that only had it for like 6 monthsI hated the car (leather seats all luxery but still hated it)needed to take 10 times back to the garage for repairs in 6 months (!)so I sold the car and went looking for a decent GT or glanza...after a search of 2 months I found a nice glanza Vsome pics:mods on it when I bought the car:razo short shifthks dump valveafter market air filtersps manifoldjapspeed decatgreddy emanage blue ecuhks adjustable actuator10 grove disc on front and mintex padsSARD fuel pressure regulator kit with dialmods I did:facelift taillights (see pics above)kakimoto backbox (needs to be welded on a 2,5'' cat back exhaust) for now it's still stock.steel braided brake hosesand a Cusco rear & front strut bracelowered it on the front on yellow koni shocks (see pics above, looking for rear koni's)Future plans:FMIC 2,5 full stainless exhaustget it running at 1bar and map the emanage.some handling modsthat's it for now!

RicoW Posted January 13, 2009 Author Posted January 13, 2009 yeah it was a agressive looking ep71 but not awfully big like some other bodykits, like on corsa's and golf thnx for the examples toby I'd like the type C front splitter most and B for the rear...maybe something for in the future first get things right under the hood...
