Tommy_G Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 There she is, the standard micra-like solida.Now drop that 50mm, add some 15" rotas, or something alike, exhaust, tints, meshed out grill (minus slats), wind deflectors and either the tte or ms design spoiler, rev guage and i feel she will look a whole lot better! o and perhaps a lip from a spoon civic...My imagination just ran wild...but hey why not... a excited Tom ;) Quote
Idrees Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 That looks pretty mint mate, you need to pull our your camera and get some quality pics of so that you can look back at it when the mods are on!Also, the first thing i would advise you to do is remove the door strips! Quote
Tommy_G Posted December 16, 2006 Author Posted December 16, 2006 theres a few paint bits i need to sort out, i think lowering and alloys is no.1 atm.dont worry ill be documentin my progresswhat do these redline at? as theres no rev counter...how tough is it to fit a rev gauge? Quote
Blue Icarian Wings Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Another silver solida, Nice ;) Quote
Mikey Jay Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Nice one, shall look forward to your updates ;) Quote
Jozinobi Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Nice buy Tommy!She has loads of potential.Looking forward to what you have in store for us.No idea is too extreme when it comes to n/a tuning ;)Its a refined taste lolJoz Quote
keirz Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 looks like a nice base for moding but that micra like comment is gonna make you no friends amongst n/a owners ;) 15s are much better suited to the starlet from my experience, what lowering are you going for? coilovers or just springs?plans sound good, and rev counter is quite easy if you know how, ive been meaning to post a how too up, so may do one soon.

Nanglebadger Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Nice purchase man, health to enjoy!!!!!!!sounds like a good plan man, keep us posted on her progress!Phil. Quote
davehart Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Always fun starting from a clean base.Clean it up a little and it should be looking even nicer. Quote
Tommy_G Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 cheers for the comments guys...nd seriously...micra like is applicable to solida! maybe not the sr. still, they look great with a few little touches.1st day drivin was the crazyist day ever! check out my other post Quote
keirz Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 mine started life as a sportif, and i still dont think they look like micras, i just dont see it. Quote
Idrees Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 mine started life as a sportif, and i still dont think they look like micras, i just dont see it. +1 Quote
Tommy_G Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 nah they dont reli...i think its the back...un car educated people may make that assumption.by the way im not insultin starlys..i have one and love it Quote
keirz Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 ha ha i know. i was gonna post up a pic of the two rears but, it kinda proved me wrong! starlets are cool, but micras are just plain wrong!what wheels are you going for? Quote
Tommy_G Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 i agree. erm im not sure...either slipstreams, pref black with polished lip. the enkeis that wylo had on his car, or something of that sort.there guna have to be second hand as i have a £300 limit! lol.got any suggestions? Quote
Idrees Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Check the for sale section starlets are cool, but micras are just plain wrong!Not always lol, seen that Red Micra with a 4WD Pulsar conversion? Theres a video on youtube where it eats a Scooby! Quote
Tommy_G Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 y ruin a pulsar and put it in a micra? lol..cool though, will have to watch the vid.i shall check the 4sale again...but any ideas of different wheels? Quote
keirz Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 slipstreams are a good choice. i was gonna get them gunmetal with polished lip, but in the end i got the rota grids with lightweight bolts. mine was £650ish after tyres. but selling my old wheels payed off half of that.my suggestions are anything small light and not chavvy. if you stick by these rules you cant really go wrong in opinion. take your time choosing or you may end up unhappy with the results.

Tommy_G Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 tru mate...yer usually rotas look good, no tsw, fox etc for me...lol thinkin of gettin some neons though...hahahahahahathat was a joke...i do not encourgae neons in any way....cept in the fast and furious, then they look ok Quote
Nanglebadger Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I like neons....IF done in a tasty manner, not like a spidey mcspidebert style!!!! Was thinkin of a subtle blue set for mine, would help draw some attention to the UKSC stand at JAE at night!!! Anyone remember the Mits. GTO stand last year and all the bloody neons!!!! Crazy shit!!! And also the Delica stand...mental!!! UKSC needs some night lights!!!Phil. Quote
Tommy_G Posted December 18, 2006 Author Posted December 18, 2006 well i dont hate neons, in fact i like them inside a car, tis just those multi-coloured ones im not keen on.but each to their own, its just my opinion. Quote
Jozinobi Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Check these out Tommy!http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/viewthread.php?tid=19844As New Rota Slipstreams in Black for £299 minus tyres, £440 with.Can't beat that with a stick! Joz Quote
