should have mine back on the road next week and cant wait to dump the clutch.. how far are you from turnkey?

so close :D wish i could get my hands on a 4paw but the amout of effort to get it i just cant justify it!

after the tsunami and their version of the scrappiage skeem they are litterealy rarer than hens teath now, that goes for all starlets,

my agent gave us this shocking figure for the amount of eps registered on the road over there, dont know whether to belive it or not but it makes dipressing news

prices are appreceating over there now..

the worlds raiped japan :(

Is sort of a good thing imo as finaly prices for our loved starbos will climb soon and we may get back to the rightful place in the jdm car price list. as for turning the key i could have her running and roadworthy within a week or so but but im in no major rush tbh as I've so many parts to put on still that im gonna wait till shes more finished to put her back on the road. any chance you can pm me some costings on what your paying to have 1st and 5th swapped as I've asked gary more times than i can remeber and still not had a price lol.

Its a ruber type plastic, thats light as fook. i used the old card as a template and cut them to shape. the hamdles are motorsport handle door straps and all the window switches will be relocated and use alloy toggle switches instead. the car is aimed at being a very rally/track inspired car so gives you an idea of whats to come ;) however the big mudflaps, spots and custom alloy under guards will all be one of the last few bits to be done. cant wait to take her out in the mud and gravel when shes running!!!!!
