Starlet__SR Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Tiny bits of surface rust but no big deal, my ex's GT was mint underneath, brakes, you name it, was cleaner than my SR which had done less mileage!Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 the biggest cause of rust really is our crappy salty roadsif you get say a 92 GT straight from Japan il be very suprised to see any rust at all, whereas if you buy one from the UK it will probably develop some surface rust deffoMake sure (especially in the winter with gritters everywhere) that when you wash the car you give the arches a good going over as the salt will start to eat away at thembut really I've seen rustier 02 plate cars than my 93 starlet which does say a hell of a lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 but really I've seen rustier 02 plate cars than my 93 starlet which does say a hell of a lot youve managed to hide all yours?? the brakes are shit mate, even in stadard form, they fade after like half a second.my first few mods on my car wer, brakes, lines, bearings, bushes. and then coilovers. and to me that sorted out the shite before i was to go chasing power.
