ep_brad Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 i think the toyosports manifold should hold out but it will need bracing its only costing me a tenner to have my braced. Quote
Idrees Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 why wud the panhard rod cause your tyre shredding? unless the bushes r fooked in your stocker? lollooking sweet idrees matey! i hope that turbo kit lasts wud be cheap kit for people if it holds out! Because when the car is lowered, one side wheel sticks out more than the other, therefore that side tyre catches the arch. Also the offset on the Sparcos is ET32 and they are 7" wide (very rare) so they poke out that bit more!I've fitted a JDM panhard rod now, not sure what brand it is but it looks exactly like an RS*R!Id-workz Livesports style splitter..I really need to get the fenders painted and fitted but there aren't enough hours in a day Quote
jonnygt Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 that splitter looks awsome loving that, ill try and get my dad to buy one for his lolwhat offset are them wheels? gota nice bit poke to them Quote
Idrees Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Cheers guys, she is driving nice and it feels good to be back in a Starlet!The offset is ET32 on the Sparcos.I forgot to mention, new brakes. EBC drilled/grooved discs with Yellow stuff padsTo do list:Fit replacement gearboxCheck why the knock sensor isn't reading!Adjust idle levelFind an EMB and get her mappedPaint and fit the fenders, and front bumper so I can order the rest of the bodykit!Fit replacement bonnet hinges Quote
_shaun_ Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 love those wheels need to keep an eye out for a set ;) Quote
Sparky Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 The lip looks a bit dodgy for some reason? ;)Maybe it will look better with the bumper cut out and lip smoothed Quote
Amjad Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 How are you finding that brake setup this time round?Is it a large step up over stock? Quote
Idrees Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 I'm not cutting the bumper Sparky, I think it will look awesome with the fenders and sideskirts. Quote
Idrees Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 I managed to squeeze in some work this weekend too. I set myself up a little room suitable for painting down at my storage place and got some bits painted.The GT with some of my other bangers Fitted.. I still need to stick on the plastic moulding.Sideskirts trial fitted..I was hoping to finish it off tonight but have way too much on so she is still in pieces, maybe tomorrow!Future plans:ID-Workz rear end; spoiler and rear splitterReplacement gearboxPowerflex engine mountsShe is running well, but should be even better with a new gearbox and 2 new engine mounts (already have a Powerflex rear mount) Quote
LukeSR Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Nice, loving teh fenders!Will you be in this at Wednesdays meet then? Quote
Idrees Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 I should be Luke I haven't got time to paint the front bumper so it will have a white splitter on it, unless I rattle can it matt black for the time being! Quote
LukeSR Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Awesome Just leave it white, multi-coloured ftw Quote
Idrees Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Cheers. Sideskirts and fenders are fitted nicely, front splitter has been rattle can'd. Pictures when I have a minute to breathe. Quote
miib14 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 saw this last night... looked and sounded amazing!! the fenders look amazing! Quote
Idrees Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks The new look..After a quick wash, and an OEM grill..The front bumper is due a respray as I only gave it a quick rattle can job for the time being. That will be done when I have a rear bumper sorted so I can paint them together. Quote
whiteglanzav Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 i love the livesports lip on the gts - looks mint Quote
Steve GT Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 looks stealthy as hell iddyreally not a fan of those wheels though. think its the blue lip that spoils the look Quote
