gman0121 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 thanks for the comments i agree sparky it did look better with the black rims, but im growing to like the white ones. and i got a good deal on the swap so not too fussed.not too many plans for it atm as im skint but think im gunna raise the bonnet and get a custom s/s sexhaust at some stage. oh and ive got some purple rim tape to put on, i bought it ages ago but couldnt put it on my old wheels as they had "team dynamcis motorsport" round the outer lip. on the look out for a rolla mani aswell if anyone knows one for sale?Dan.

Idrees Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The white wheels do look good on yours but the black ones looked better imo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gman0121 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 small update.bought some exhaust wrap the other day and it arrived this morning so thought id whack it on after work. i bought 10m x 50mm thinking it would be enough but i only had abit left after i had done the downpipe and de-cat pipe so will have to get some more to wrap it all the way to the backbox. i read up about how to do it and some people were saying to overlap 25% every wrap and some said 50% so went with 50% just to be safe. have also bought a new backbox as my current one has a hole in the side but need to get a clamp for it and weld a hanger bracket on before i can fit it. also bought some sticker books to do some bombing so far have just done the facia and handbrake surround but have got some wind deflectors on order so they will also be bombed and possibly the bonnet aswell. apart from that i bought some blue xenon bulbs which i havent got a picture of yet. but the improvement in the light is pretty fookin good!all comments welcome Dan.

gman0121 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 despite writing this out 3 times now and my farckin laptop deciding to restart itself, i will persevere!sooo another few things to update.firstly i recieved my wind deflectors yesterday (not genuine but pffft) so got them fitted straight away. they are pretty subtle but i think they add a lil sum summin, might sticker bomb them next week to see how that looks before:after:quick snap i took tonight of my xenons fitted, cant really see the blueness in the pic but they look pretty schweet and work a treat and finally i fitted my new backbox which i got last week from mij exhausts in brum. went for a 3" exit so not too big with a blue burnt tip.firstly i removed the old backbox which as you can see has a fook off hole in it and the welds had also started to blow through, and cut off the hanger and bracket for the new'un.then i welded the hanger and bracket onto the new boxnext i had to cut out a recess in the bumper where the nex box would sit as the old box had a lower exit then inlet. taped off the area where i would be cutting to try and minimalise the damage i would inevitably cause. i then held the box under the car where it would sit and my mate marked above it on the bumper where to cut. simples. maybe not. while laying underneath holding it in position i neglected to take into account the fact that the pipe going to the exhaust was sitting in a different position to normal as it wasnt being held up by the rear hanger. so as a result the mark was made well to far to the right of where it shouldve been. so now have more of a half oval cut out instead of a circle. peenarse.anyway after all that aggro and NO swearing or putting the blame on anyone else i did manage to get it fitted and im pretty happy with it only issue i have is that im not too happy with the angle of it as it points down slightly (the exhaust i mean) so will have to do some more 'tinkering' next week. apart from that this week i have fitted new disks and pads front & rear, 2 new wishbones and arb drop links and am waiting on some new track rod ends to fit.also got some big plans in mind for it later on in the year thanks for all your comments and as always any more are welcome Dan.

5T4R7ET N/A Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 nice job on the exhaust,but i think it's sticking out too far, your gonna have people tripping over it when they walk past nice choice though, right size and design Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gman0121 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 but i think it's sticking out too far, your gonna have people tripping over it when they walk past got into work this morning and about 5 minutes later a bloke i work with walked in limping really badly. so i asked him what he'd done. his response was "just tripped over youre fucking exhaust!". was taking the piss but ye it does stick out 'abit' far. only left it sticking out that far because i was in a rush to get some where and the sleeve that goes from the box to the exhaust was FT so just got it on a bit and clamped it for now. think i will have to cut the sleeve abit more and stretch it out slightly so it goes on further.Dan.

gman0121 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 righty ho. so i bought a spoiler earlier this week (thanks to 'theminiguru' for that ) and had it sitting around for a few days while i decided what i was going to do with it. was contemplating getting it painted caribbean blue or leaving it white to match the wheels. but came home 'slightly' inebriated a fews nights back and thought fack it ill sticker bomb it and see how it looks. so after a fair few hours of stickering i had it completed and got it fitted. i think it looks rather sexual i know it wont be to everyones taste but i didnt do it to please them. once i had the spoiler done i had some left over stickers so decided to do my wind deflectors aswell ;) . i havent seen either a spoiler or wind deflectors bombed on a starlet before so glad that its a bit different decided to go and take a few pics of the car today (despite the fact that shes filthy atm) and im quite happy with some of the shots.Dan.

Idrees Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 It's different, but I'm personally not a fan. The exhaust sticks out too much too, are you going to adjust it or keep it there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
