Sparky Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Very Nice mate TRD'in it right up Keep up the good work and get those seats fitted!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raffi Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Another Update! (Pics on the first page!)I have received my Greddy Strut Brace, front and rear and my D2 Suspension. And I have fitted a Jap look exhaust and a D1 Spec Quick Release Snap Off Kit, hehe...So...The next step should be more toys for the Starlet, but somebody broke the windows of my company car, and stole my GPS navigation system. And that made me think about security, so the next step will be a security system from Viper, and that will set me back a 500£ (fitted), thats an insane price if you ask me, but it is necessary.And it is a 2 way system, so everything that happens around my car will be send back as a message to my remote control.And again, feel free to tell my what you think of my car, my stuff and my plans... hehe... :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 yea those you must be salivating the prospect of the handling adjustments that will be made after fitting those d2'swhat company car do you have by the way just out of curiosity? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raffi Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thanks for all the cool comments.The D2 suspension will be fitted next year, because the Danes use a lot of salt on the roads here in Denmark, and that would destroy my suspension, so after the snow has melted, the D2 suspension and the Strut braces will be fitted.And for the curious ones, my company car is a VW Caddy 2006, here is a pic:http://82.165.32.80/kwnews/pictures/news_4...y_Typ-2K_09.jpgMine is white, and it has no alloys, hehe...

Mart Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Man your car is coming along nicely! Was it hard to fit the new instrument cluster? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raffi Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yup all parts have almost arrived...I still mis my TRD Quick Shift, but I hev been told, that it will arrive next week.Fitting the instruments was a real pain. My hand are to fat(hehe) to reach the cabel, that sits behind the instruments, it took me about an hour to fit it all.The handling parts will be fitted some time next year, after the snow has melted. I don´t want any damages from the salt on my parts.The thing with the subframes is a pain to, there are no companies that make em cheap. The Recaro ones cost about 400£ from new.But I was thinking of getting some universal frames from Sparco, and make them fit, I will have to make somthing custom, to make my seats fit. Hopefully I will have some time next month to get them fitted! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 thanks man, took a long time to get to this car so im treating it far too nicely lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raffi Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 A little negative update... Some of you have seen this picture in another thread...Today I went to get them checked if there were OK, I wanted to be sure, bacause they are second hand wheels.And they were in bad shape, they were oval, they could not be balanced, they were of by more then 100g.So I returned them, and I returned the new Toyo Proxes T1-R, that I bought for the wheels.So the Euro/German Style as a theme has been dropped.I am going to do the exterior in JDM style after all.... ;) ;) As always, I have some cool plans, so all I need now is some money, hehe... And I have ordered Sparco Universal Subframes, so in a few weeks, the seats should be fitted in the car.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
