SiMX5 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi my name's Si from Kent, just bought my second SR as a runaround, originally had one of these brand new in White back in 1998 and only had it for a short while, thought I would never find another one with all the original bits still attached. Have only cleaned it up slightly by adding clear front and side repeaters like I did with the white one. Have also attached a pic of my other ride Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy SR Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Welcome fella! You just won this on ebay right? Did you manage to haggle on the price you won it at? I'm jealous you still have the tte exhaust. I was desperately looking for a standard one too then I got one in black a couple of months back. The only thing is I have a remus instead of the tte now because I couldn't track down one! Have you got any plans to do to it? Its nice to see it still has the decals to, don't take them off no matter how faded they are, there's not enough standardish sr's out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiMX5 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Welcome along mate 2 nice motors there!Thanks for that the MX is my baby and the SR will be my runaroundWelcome fella!

Not got many plans for it as most of my spare cash goes on the MX. Have bought a personalized plate and some clear front and side indicators, tired to get some new decals but Toyota said that they have been discontinued so will be speaking to a local company to see if they can make some replica's as the front and back have totally gone but the sides are a little faded but not too bad, then the only other thing will be to upgrade the ageing head unit and to replace the standard speakers. Other than that she will be kept as she is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know how the speaker upgrade goes too because I was thinking of doing the same. I have a jvc double din due to the slot in the starlet, but I needed two adaptors to fit the thing, and I still can't pick up stereo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TwentyBingoTom Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hey all, just purchased my self a completely standard black sr (MinuesTTE exhaust!) Looking forward to making it my own! I was definately going to take the stickers off as they are a bit faded. But with regards to the double din stereo.... How easy are these to fit in the starlets? Regards Tom.
