HI pal, looks like u have a good base to start with, never seen the brows on a na before! i think they look sweet, whats your plans?

Same here, not seen them on n/a before so i though i would give it a go, i've had alot of people looking twice because of this.

Got quite a few plans lined up, will keep posting as i go along,

going to continue with the front and put leds bulbs and hids, and also to change the lights in the fogs ive fitted.

So here is where the story begins,

I started of with the this starlet,

Itâ??s a 6P3 CD model on a 96 plate,

The car is totally standard with wheel trims and a sunroof,

Look at what came through the post!!!

Then I came across UKSC and after looking at what other members where doing and the potential that these cars can go along with Glanzaâ??s which I didnâ??t even know things started to change and the:

Today

Tomorrow

Toyota

Starts Here:

The 1st thing I was to change is the indicator lenses with clear ones that made a nice little difference

Then I had blue fog lights below with strobe lights in them for show purpose

After this it was LED sidelight bulbs followed by 6000K hid kit.

Next was to carbon wrap the front grill and side strips which is unique to my car as nobody else has done it and it hides the horrid grey strip with lime green in it.

Then customising and fitting eyebrows on the car wrapping up with carbon and tinting the lights and also having fitted the wind deflectors

i have bought some glanza eyebrows and wanted to see how the will look on the car after i had put clear indicator lenses on the car

after trimming the eyebrows to a perfect fit i decided to wrap them with carbon vinyl

i had then stuck the eyebrows on after the second attempt with some really strong clear grab adehsive from screwfix and then tapped them on the car to hold them in place for 24hours

and here are the finished brows, pictures don't do it justice but they look the Bizz when you see then in the flesh.

Then here come the sound system install in the car

Here's some pics of the gear:

Specs as follows,

Subwoofers:

Daily Running subs were:

2x 12" Alpine 1242 type R running 500RMS and 1500Watt Peak Each (Total 1000RMS and 3000watt Peak) Loud and clear ;)

Then for competition/pleasure with 2x 12" Alpine 1242 type x subwoofers running 1000RMS and 3000Watt Peak Each (Total 2000RMS and 6000watt peak) SQ and Mega Powerful ;) you could not drive the car whilst on half volume as the pedals vibrate from the bass! Crazy LOL!

To run this I had 2x alpine PDX 1.1000 amps and 2x 1 farad power Caps running off a yellow top battery

The boot was dead matt along with double sealed box as ported needed a bigger box and had to be assembled in the car which I couldn't be arsed with.

8.jpg 9.jpg 10.jpg 11.jpg 12.jpg

For the mids/highs I was using:

Alpine SPX 17 Pro components running:

100RMS and 300Peak with crossovers and tweeters

Alongside alpine type R components running:

100RMS and 300Peak

These are fitted to modified door cards with dead matt behind it

The amp to power them is Alpine PDX 1.400 which runs 400RMS (100RMS per channel)

I had been trough many stereos,

Pioneer deh-6900ib (1st)

Alpine (2nd) can remember but slighty better but too fiddly

Pioneer deh-p80mp

Pioneer p88-rs 2 (best one bar far and paid the price for it too, awesome, competition grade)

So next for the exterior came the front square number plate, the place had no smaller ones so thought I would do it and get it changed at a later.

Also came the custom n/a bonnet with scoop and extended at the front at the lights, here are some test pics whilst it was getting prepped.

I liked it better with the eyebrows but they had to come off as the bonnet will not fit ;)

So here it is fitted! And the eyebrows off.

18.jpg

You can see the difference between standard and tinted lights LOL

After having this fitted the car attracted a lot of attention

Further more I had to tint the windows so you canâ??t see the gear in the rear of the car

I decided to go back and rear window 30% dark and then do the front to the legal 70% and I does make a difference at the front. The film is kind off thick too so good if someone tryâ??s to decided to smash the window.

I had then had a 4â? back box welded on the car and made a nice note- (replaced the gay exhaust tip clamp I had fitted lol)

Pics of the car at night along my mateâ??s old car

I then purchased some rims for the car and went for Lenso RS5â??s wrapped in toyo t1râ??s and replaced 2 of them for new 1s These are 15" 195 50 and 6.5J

21.jpg

22.jpg

After this I decided to go for the black and green colour scheme and decided to wrap the roof in gloss black.

It was a pain in the arse especially the sunroof

Here are some pics:

Before

Alignment and prep

24.jpg

And finished after 2 hours! And love it! after using alot of soapy water and a hairdryer

25.jpg

I also had a quick go at the side pillars on the door and then gave up and could be bothered to do the rest of the door frame

More pics of the total car

Boot looks sik man.!! i need to do that but wouldnt know what to get or how to do it ;) nice so far though bro ;)

Took me about 2months start stop trying to do the audio system the way I want, had been though 3 stages for this result and would have gone stage four but that requires a bigger car as I would have done a wall install with an Orion audio and multiple door speakers and on the dash, was even thinking of doing water proof speakers in a rally style lights attatchments lol! But for what I use my motor for it's spot on and alot off people know I like my music loud and clear. It's even funny when I come up to red lights behind a car a blast music off that they jump the red lights lmao!

door pockets look awesome, how did u do them

I had them professionally customised at the audio shop, it's basicall a wooden frame packed with mdf and fibre glass over then they had the same colour material as door trim to finish it off. Cost me alot of money, but that's uni days for ya, still got some of the door pocket left to fit CDs in them ;)

get it lowered man, it will finish it off nicely!!! (if you havent already!)

nice sounds, love the big bass!!

mines all hidden away! but i like showy installs to!

Its not lowered just yet...but soon it will, roads here are awefull, had a front under brace and kinked in middle on a bump! Was well gutted as it was only on car for a month. Having speakers in the door pockets were best thing to do as under the dash is awefull.

looks really nice bro

Thanks bro...alot still to put up and write up... And your part is still to come lol!

Here's more to add to the build

Winter was coming up so I was on the hunt to buy some winter wheels and I came across these from paul as they were on his Black GT that he broke.

34.jpg

35.jpg

Bought them at a good time as I had a puncture in one wheel so here they are test fitted the rear ones first and going for a remix look for a while

36.jpg

37.jpg

Here its is parked next to a standard n/a thatâ??s local to me

38.jpg

Next was front seats that I bough from another member, was fitting the passenger seat at the time, better pics will be done later.

39.jpg

Went square no plate at the back and got a resized one for the front, I had stuck on black gloss vinyl so that I could then stick the double sided tape to it without damaging the car when taking it on and off and looks smart too.

40.jpg

41.jpg

Then I had had problems fitting a c-pillar brace as it would fit using exciting bolt so I had to file the size hole out and managed to get it to fit

42.jpg

I was happy with the rear but then came across this and had to put it on the car.

43.jpg

So I started to mark off the cut out point and started to dremmel parts from the boot And the next day the clutch and gear box went on the car and damaged the gear box so had a new clutch and a gear box in the car, here it is after RAC towed it to the garage. Bad Times : ( I removed the swaure no plate as this was going in the glanza no plate surround and screwed the old one back in place. You can notice the c-pillar bar fitted

44.jpg

45.jpg

46.jpg

After 2 days the car was out of the garage and back on my drive running smooth as ever. Decided to buy better brakes and went with EBC Red stuff for the front and they make a lot of difference from the standard pads, I even had half left on the old one and threw them in the bin as there no good to anyone really.

47.jpg

48.jpg

After installing the new brakes I decided to have the front wheels changed over too.

49.jpg

Here comes the snowwwww

50.jpg

51.jpg

After the bad weather I gave the car a good was especially the wheels

52.jpg

Handling was my next priority So I got this lot! Whiteline front 24mm anti roll bar Whiteline Rear anti roll bar Whiteline Panhard Rod Rear Strut Brace Got a Standard Front strut brace but didnâ??t bother taking any pics as its black lol

53.jpg

Next was to fit the standard front strut brace from the glanza and then the rear strut brace.

54.jpg

55.jpg

Came to the Manchester meet with the convoy from ladybower with drew and the crew one quick snap when it was there. Meet a few members and enjoyed the day with many fab cars there.

56.jpg

Now hereâ??s how the car stands after a good wash with the number plate surround fitted.
