200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 brought some wheels for this little whiper snapper the other day. some of you may have seen them for sale. purchased 3 inovit stvi's in white. 4th has a real bad dint in it. so currently looking for a 4th from somwhere. will probs buy new from POTN or somthing. havnt got round to it yet though as ive been busy on the turbo build.but heres some pics anyway,on my rota grids ( 15" rim ) till i source other rim, and so i can sell the TTE ones.this is the damaged rim, pretty bad lol.. tyre is fine, but rim is cracked, and has a similar ding on the back side.and heres a pic of the white rim offered up infront of the grid. the new ones are 16" and as they are white they look loads bigger. really gunna suit this colour and car i think more updates soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 aii should look sweet altho i am in 2 minds about getting stickers for it. they look nice with out, but the blue ones that come on would go with the colour of the car. but i dont wanna buy genuine stickers, cuz they are not real volks. but dont want the hole RAVS for CHAVS look. what you lot think?also need some tuner style wheel nuts, as standard dont fit in the wholes. anyone know of any cheap ones?Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 White suits the colour soooo well but so do your wheels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The white ones are gonna look mint on there matey. Please dont put Volks stickers on them though as they aint the real deal and they'll just look gay. I would just leave them as they are mate without any stickers are centre caps. They look tidy like that. Maybe add like a blue pin-stripe round the edge or summit like the same colour as the car, but that might look a bit too much. Let me now, when you have them all sorted and stuff mate and ill borrow the ramps at work and bang them on for you, if you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 nice work man, is it just normal paint for that fuse box cover?Did you just mask the sticker off or get new ones?Garycarefully masked off the sticker, and i used a silver base again with the cherry red pearl on top, made sure it was properly cleaned with degreasers, and then keyed with a real fine wet and dry paper, then another clean!Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 wow been realy long time since ive looked at this thread! thort i would let you know whats the current status with this car well being as my white one is now sorted, ive had a bit more chance to mess about with this one. however as mine is on the road this no longer has the rota wheels on it so its rocking the stealies atm! cant get a white Inovit STVI in white for love nor money. tried loads of places. people that have them wont split a set, and people that will split a set dont have the correct size and fittment in stock. been in touch with POTN about 2 months ago, and they said yeah 3 weeks, been in touch every week since until they then said wont be in till the new year. HELP!! If anyone has one or knows of a 16" White 4x100 STVI then please tell me!also has a nice set of L plates as the missus is driving this with me atm wnt be long befor she is let loose on the highways, god help us all ! no shes good really lolAND finaly, made a prototype for an induction kit ive had ideas on tonight. changed the noise compared to just a filter on the end of the stock pipe. when its done should look sweet, but not entirely sure i will produce them. need to see how much i can make them for, as im not sure how much people with N/A's would be willing to pay for them. if i made 10 and then ended up only shifting like 2-3 then im screwed! very unique, not been done for the NA, there is nothing for them. should be making some stuff up to cater for them. keep your eyes peeled, this car shall be used as the base of a little modding company i shall hopefully be starting up. Anyone be interested in one of these kits?Jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 More detail on the kits matey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 More detail on the kits matey As of yet i am not sure of the cost it will be to manufacture, so cant give you any financial info. all i can say is that it relocates a 200bhp rated filter down to the bottom of the engine bay, away from all the heat of the engine, and right next to the coldest air available. it will require the removal of one peice of the under plastic. as i said i ran the filter in the engine bay and had just a standard cold air feed to it. far from ideal, especialy on a hot day. took this out tonight, seemed to rev a lot better, and sounded different to it being in the original area. sounded alot more grunty, and when outside the car it sounded mint, when it was coming down towards me, can hear alot more induction sucking and thoaty grunt. would realy like to try this on a standard starlet, with no exhaust so can see exactly what it does. will get some pics up if people want, i will warn u now tho, it looks ruff atm, as its made of pvc pipe and bends, and some sexy duck tape Quote Link to post Share on other sites
