N80Jamie Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 You know I'd say pinkPink is tempting me at the minute but I'm scared to do it haha ;)when i get a cage its going shocking pinkonly guna get a show cage though lolHurry up and get one so I can see what it looks like Focus RS green just to be different? Or what about a flip paint haha? Or Carbon wrap maybe?DDon't think I like the idea of RS green but flip paint sounds funky haha. Carbon wrap looks pretty poor though most of the time so think I'd rather powder coat it a certain colour i want that cage! I sell my car parts for hugs..... lolHi mate glad to see my old car is still getting looked after, I was guna get the roll cage powder coated pink but never got rnd to it.

As for wheels, either a nice JDM set or a set of 16" Rota Grid Drifts Have to admit, starlets are really fun to drive! At least you've got a bit of luxury now instead of a shit jap interior haha ;)Sweet ep82 you have there mate.. Love it !!Cheers mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway n80jamie il keep any eye on her because love to c it on coilys and sum nice wheelsCompared to the TD04 conversion it was slow. And thats a lie haha! Starlets have never been known for their handling. Only reason you had to slow down was to get the power down otherwise they just understeer like hell!Glad to see the cars gone to a genuine enthusiast now.D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Small update; I won a set of rear wheel bearings and a genuine HKS SSQV from eBay. Fitted the SSQV earlier today and now the GT is chirping away As for the rear wheel bearings; @EP82oaks, you said these were recently replaced but since stripping the rear my car sounds like an old steam train from the back haha ;) Was there any complications when fitting the new bearings which may have damaged them? Anyway, heres a couple of piccies P.s. The wire wrapped around the strut brace is there ready for fitting my oil temp sensor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ep82oaks Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I was a genuine enthusiast that car got everything it needed I loved it like a baby, I put new bearings in when the rear brakes went on no problems fitting so dino wot sound your hearing lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The garage i go to took the car out for a drive to try and solve a different problem and he did comment saying that my rear wheel bearings sound shot. I've made a quick video to try and show the noise they're making. Anyone think it's something else other than wheel bearings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep82oaks Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sorry mate the genuine enthusiast was aimed at STARLET SR not you Jamie. Them wheel bearings have prob only dun 2k if that so I'm stumped as to wot it could be unless the bearings av gone but can't c that in such a short space of time. Could the rear calipers be sticking slighty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may as well put these bearings on now as there sat on the side so will soon see if that is the problem! I've heard its quite a delicate job? So could of just been a simple mistake to shorten the life of them? Not blaming you anyway dude dunna worry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Recently did a swap with Nads; my bumper for his TOMs bumper Was sprayed up and fitted yesterday but it seems to be sagging quite bad :| Anyone know how to sort out the sagging between the bumper and the headlights? Also, is the TOMs grill slightly longer (downwards) as there is a fair gap between my standard grill and the bumper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 mmmmmm tomsssss!do you have your slam pannel still? mine rested on the top and bolted on there and fitted perfect,maby you could put some kind of washer underneath it or make some metal brackets at the bottom to hold it up abit more?
