Mikey Jay Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Funky, keep getting put to shame by all the new people on here though lol with their good rides and modding stuff straight away.Am not doing any mods till new year.(see my thread on the second page of the extreem ep rides forum if you fancy seeing my car lol)If there's anything you need to know don't hesitate to ask, I'm asking all the time about stuff ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 You are not being put to shame mate, i sold my r6 to buy the starlet as i thought i would live a bit longer lol. i have had the car for about 5 months now and have sourced all of the parts from japan as it works out a lot cheaper, that is apart from the samco hoses. Have a look on www.rhdjapan.com that is where i have got all of my parts from.Just had a look at your atarlet and it looks nice really like the number plate should try and sell it to the police lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shelly_star Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Sorted out your arrangement of the photos, dotted everywhere on the page Neat engine bay you got there, puts mine to shame.Enjoy your stay newbie ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks for all the comments, the rhdjapan site is in dollars just check on the shipping cost though. the other day they had 2 hks f con's for the ep91 for £68 but with the postage it took it to about £100 which is still dirt cheap.

keirz Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 looks nice mate, will definatly improve alot with wheels and lowering so il look out for your progress. any idea on what wheels your going for?keirz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks for all the comments, the rhdjapan site is in dollars just check on the shipping cost though. the other day they had 2 hks f con's for the ep91 for £68 but with the postage it took it to about £100 which is still dirt cheap.they didnt come with the sensors (which are about £250+ from HKS), which is why they were so cheap also, if you need alloys, give me a shout ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks shelly for sorting out the pics, i have ordered some 15" oz f1 evo alloys just until i can afford some decent ones, fancy a set of the buddy club pII in bronze, shame about the f con having no sensors i didn't really look at the ad as it was for the ep91.

jon5698 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 what size tyres do you think i should go for? 45's or 55's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 in my opinion i would go for 45 mate. or it may look all tyre and not much alloy. mine are 45 on my 15s. check them out on my thread if you like. click on the link above my sig.depends if you wanna have a little less ride comfort for better looks.

ecksjay Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 in 15's i'd go for 50 profile, 45's tend to be a little harsh on bumps etc i find.you ordered brand new oz f1's? fair shout! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Not purposely trying to hi-jack Jon's thread here but on the topic of tyres, would I be right in thinking 45's would be best for 16" alloys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hey Jon Welcome to UKSC. Im liking the look of your car, and your plans sound really impressive! Keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jon5698 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 thanks for the comments jo, you got any pics of your car?
