gutted! 6 pages 290 replys and over 5000 views gone

wanker ;)

mamaged to get the start of it from the sister site

start date january 2009

it all started off in late january when i did the sums on my christmas bonus to figure out if i could afford this project.

the conditions on the starlet is that it had to be most poverty spec for weight reasons.

and have power stearing and more importantly abs,

the rest did not matter as long as it was not in light blue.

so this 1997 reflet f popped up

so armed with my cash i used a friend/agent to bid on this very mint low example

purchase cost = �£ 255

(pictured here at koby docks osaka japan)

total granny spec

not bad at all. so the car arrived on the 7th of April where i quickly gutted it

so in the space of a few hours from this

P1060455.jpg

to this

8x18 compomotive mo's

P1060471.jpg

P1060481.jpg

the engine is in mint conidtion it will be a shame to rip it out.

drove about like this with lights in for a week before getting my glanza parts sprayed up.

so from granny spec this

P1060579.jpg

which was done four days ago, which takes me to now, im sorting out the

  • suspension
  • chassis

update

fired her up today, got a front exit made up, it looks the tits!!

over the winter ive been bricking starting the ep up. now the winters out the way ive no excuse.

had a lot of thourghts on what it would feel like with decent boost behind it and its everything and more.

since i left funky power (11pmish) ive given the clutch a decent work out . words cant describe what it feels like to sympatheticaly side stept he clutch at 5k in the swat bus.

its truelly epic, and been buzzing since then.

il get some vids up. its boosting on standard boost but scalped & corsa vxr on the mate. the two guys in the vxr were really apreaceating, with the thumbs up after i broke a few car lengths on them with the side exit spitting away.

wouldent change that closer ratio box for the world!

im gona kick about with the swat graphics for a few more months then rip them off

its comedy seing peoples faces after i give it some boost and priceless after.

heres a wee vid i took recently at a private strip (east fortune)

more picturesof how it looks soon.

me and mates have analised different videos and know the speedos arnt acurate but revving to 8k im getting.

4.7 - 5.3 to 60 (100ks)

thats not bad on standard boost :lol:

Amazing mate. street legal side exit = win. :p

I passed when you were turning in the junction just after tinto kennels. i was in my works beater (pug 206 2.0 hdi :p) slowed down a bit to see if you gave it some along that straight but you seemed to be driving quite slowly. how is it to drive?
