Starbuck Posted January 6, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
