Starbuck Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Thought i'd put one of these together. I can't say i always wanted one of these cars, i kind of fell into wanting one after a friend mentioned about these pocket rockets. I never had modded car when i was younger to this degree (I consider myself old compared to some of you Young un's). I guess i'm revisiting my youth from a past life.....Previous cars being: A porsche 944 lux, Audi A3 1.8T plus others inc these (My car in the photo spread http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/thumbsup.gif ):Anyway, we begin.....Bought my EP just over a year ago. It came fitted with Potenza R4 Rally alloys, Tein S Tech springs and an Filter and looked like this...after a couple of months i picked these up..No idea what make the exhaust is... possibly a powerflow jobbie? I bought it of ebay which said it was for a starlet and when fitted up the exhaust was going into the wheel, too late for a refund i had an extra piece fitted to work...and then got an RX-7 intercooler and replaced stock...Then i got some Gauges a Profec Spec 2 BC a HDI FMIC and a HKS Actuator.....A while later i changed my wheels for these toyota optional multispokes, these are going to be painted black soon.Fitted a Toyota Optional 3 Point Rear Strut (not shown)Hot knifed the bumper out and relocated number plateFitted this 30mm OMP wheel (removed stickers) and now has a vintage TOMs horn pushThis pretty much takes us upto where i am now. Apart from added Starlet Mats and a SAMCO EFI to filter pipe.Soon - CT9 Power Kit, Ext gated Mani with TIAL 38mm - Painted Rocker - Oil Catch CanMaybe - Clear Cam cover and some other engine dress up Quote
TMJ Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 How old are you mate ? I'm 31 and kept quiet until now because I thought I was the oldest on here. Had a couple of mk2 golf gtis myself nice cars. First was my first car mk2 90s spec 8v, my 2nd was a mk2 with a corrado 2.9 vr6 lump in it. Lost count of how much I threw at it. Should have bought shares in Awesome Gti . On the prowl for another ep82. Quote

Starbuck Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 http://www.japfest.co.uk/how are you finding the car compared to other cars you've had?I miss the top end grunt on the bigger engined cars. However for sheer fun and how easy it is to work on and the handling etc etc the GT is sick! I love it Quote
