kavan-k Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 On the doll and sell big issue and glanza is funded by saving money insuring it as a non turbo, sometimes I go shop lifting for new partsAny chance of a discount on the big issue if I subscribe monthly Ben? Also, can you steal for others or just yourself? In need of new dust caps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I make connectors that produce, clean or improve oil wells productivity. I got my starlet because it was my friends around 2005 and it was a monster back then and always wanted one. Its just a fun second car for me to waste money on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm an optical advisor and a lab technician, currently running a lab.Been infactuated with japanese cars since I was 11, I blame it on computer games and fascination with anything japanese. Always wanted a starlet, pulsar, ae82, ae86, s15, supra, and a skyline, the starlet just happened to be the first thing I came across at an affordable price, didn't even see the car or the colour before I bought it, was just happy I was making a dream come true Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimD Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Software Developer, I had a starlet some 10 years ago and always said I'd have another. Mine isn't used on the road, I doubt it ever will be but I'm enjoying working on it. I have a BMW 530i as a daily and tow car, pretty boring but eats up miles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 What programming software do you use plenty of machining work going on sounds good have you made any starlet parts.Most of our stuff is done using the conversational software on the machines we have (hurco cnc's, and a haas lathe) I don't get the opportunity to make my own stuff as im always busy doing other stuff. We have one main tool maker and im just a secondary for when stuff gets busyI'm now starting to look/learn cad and cam software but it's a bit of a learn by doing experience and will be very slow. Software wise will be solidworks for Cad and onecnc for the Cam aspect.Starlet parts. I've modded my hubs to fit different bearings so I could use corolla stub axles for my engine swap. I've been meaning to make some wheel spacers but just don't get the time. Done a few little bits but nothing like I would like to. But I don't Get the time to build my confidence up on them as I can go months not using them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
