scutch0 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ohh my god!! a stack display... described in 1 word: AWESOMENESS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 ohh my god!! a stack display... described in 1 word: AWESOMENESS.Well I priced up putting some Defi's etc, and for what I was going to have to fork out for them I could easily afford a Stack dash display which gives me everything I want plus I can put alarm set point . But I wanted a seperate boost gauge, so I'm going for a Stack boost gauge which has stepper drive.I plan to get all my bits done and get all the parts I need to send it away with for its cage and other bit by the begining of April, hopefully I will have it back before the end of April and it can go away for paint. Then the fun begins Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet Nath Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Went way down South yesterday to James's(HardCore) house which was in Hartly, Kent. We picked up his boot lid as this is one of the few parts I didn't have!!!Anyway here are some pics of it on the shell, I had to fit it as there is no reall room to put it at the minute, oh and I have finished fitting the sockets in the garage today so I won't be stuck for electric in the garage now :surrender: Anyway here are my picsThought I'd stick the spoiler on to get it out of the back bedroom, well happy now :surrender: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bourkey Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Looks smart that. Be good to see when more parts start going on it. By the way his name is CardHore not HardCore....Something on the mind .Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its the first 1 i have seen on a starlet.Also how r u going to atach yuor spoiler onto the bott lid?Kepp up the good workIt is a Glanza bootlid so it attaches in the way it normally does mate. It slides down onto some clips and then there are 2 bolts that go through from the inside of the bootlid into the spoiler.Thanks for your commentsNath Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dean @RW-Developments Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 nice project u got there what colour you going? i notice the spoiler is midnight purple! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good to see parts making their way way onto the car Got an rough idea of when abouts she'll be finished?Well MJ,I know I sound like a broken record but I'm gonna get it finished this year. After a trip to the autosport international show we are now refocused on where we are going, a few more parts to obtain before it can go for its cage and other bits doing but its now taking shape. Might have to call in a few favours and get some labour in to give me a push (you know who you are ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good stuffWill hopefully see her at JAE 2010 then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 nice project u got there what colour you going? i notice the spoiler is midnight purple! A very nice colour it is too However as it will be a track car and not really a showy car I am going for a straight Toyota 205 Black exterior, thinking of maybe a different colour for the interior but not sure??

Starlet Nath Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Good stuffWill hopefully see her at JAE 2010 then? If I'm luck I'll be ready for JAE 2009, if I'm not so lucky only the shell will be ready and I could bring it on a trailer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well had some free time today so I thought I would roll the car out, clear some room in the garage and uncover the front cut.To make sure everything was o.k.To start marking all plugs up to aid refitting in my shell & so I can remove redundant wiring to save weight Anyway here are some pics for you all.Car rolled outMy Front cut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Nice one Nath.. cant wait to see it complete - its getting there slowly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Nice one Nath.. cant wait to see it complete - its getting there slowly Tell me about it, it feels like every time I start to get something done on the car something comes up to stop me working on it for a while!!Anyway I'm looking forward to getting those last 2 members on my group buy and then get the Glanza S carbon fibre bonnets in manufacture Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Right here is todays update:As there is some parts of the engine loom that are not easily accessable from the top, so I decided it was time to finally remove the front cut off its pallet that it arrived on 4 years ago. But first I had to shift lots of stuff out of the garage, its amazing how much stuff can accumilate in your garage when you move from a single to a double one!!Anyway after some jigging back and forward with the pallet truck I got it into a position where I could use the engine crane to lift the front cut up as a whole. So with a few straps I had I rigged up the front cut, lifted it up and then removed the pallet from beneath it.Then after some more jigging back and forward with the engine crane I got it back in the corner and dropped it onto some axles stands, thus giving easy access to underneath One massive pallet surplus to requirements!!Hopefully will get chance to do some more on the front cut during this week, hope you liked the update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nice to see a decent update Nath Things certainly seem to be moving better now that you've cleared out the garage.Keep it up mate. Not too long now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
