Ace-K Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Well basically started my driving life with a 106 which I wasn't really happy with as I wanted a jap car but I figured it'll get me used to the roads a bit. 2 months later I just gave up and I decided it's time. I went on the hunt and found an unreal deal on a 1.3 starlet sportif in white. 47,000 miles on it and the dealer considered trade in's. Essentially I paid £800 for my starlet plus my old 106. This is how it looked. Immediately the next day some smoothing had to be done. This took all in all about 3/4 days. Next thing I went about doing was changing the eye sore orange indicator lenses.After this I went about looking for a set of alloys. I was trying to find a local shop that would maybe let me pay a set of new wheels off monthly or something but to no joy. Then a bit of hope arrived when UKSC's very own JayStar pulled through and offered me a set of white alloys. Then last thursday this arrived at the door! XD Quote
CRaZyKiD Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Nice thread here buddy.... that exhaust sits really nice on the bumper! you got any lowering plans?CK Quote
Ace-K Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Cheers CK! Aye I wanna get better suspension on the go as the roll around corners is killing me heh Quote
Curtis Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 looking good buddy, keep up the good work, i have spax springs on my glanza and there quite good round the twisties Quote
200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 nice exhuast mate! got ureself a good thread going here, will have to keep an eye on it! would have gone for different wheels though in my opinion Quote
Ace-K Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Cheers V and Jay! Yeah they weren't my first choice on wheels but the other Jay gave me a good price for them and was all I could afford atm. I have my eye on a set of alloys that I want sooooo much! But I won't give anything away yet ; ) Quote
LukeSR Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Nice progress mate!Loving the exhaust and wheels.Just need it lowering now looks like a 4x4 Quote
chanelle1234 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Got some good bits there Ace, the indicators make it look so much better. The blitz exhaust looks lushous, get a centre section and it will sound awsome.As everyone has already said i think you need some springs on her, will look so much better.What size are the alloys?chanelle x Quote
Ace-K Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Cheers Chanelle! Yeah I need some advice on springs though, like would lowering springs do with standard shocks? I'm like 60/40 more towards handling rather than looks. But yeah everyone's right, it is sitting like a moon buggy atm. They're only 14's. Quote
