scutch0 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Most probably won't remember me, but I've been about since uksc started, I initially had a Australian import na starletThen I upgraded to a Glanza v, I believe currently owned by Zac?I loved it dearly And my current toy is my supra <3I needed a daily, so I bought a el54 paseoWhich I've recently swapped for my na starlet Glanza rep! It was my mates car,Some might recognise it!Pics of when my mate got itThen he removed the pink graphicsAnd now I have it!But sorry mate, the graphics had to go!How I got itMid way throughGone!I win!And how she stands nowJust been compounding the paintwork, and the bonnet, also sprayed the scoop black to match the bonnet, got my alpine headunit in it, and I've got some new rear speakers for it as these ones are shagged.Rich.

scutch0 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Oh and by the way, I'm after a boot carpet and a Glanza parcel shelf if anyone is selling one?Id settle for a sr parcel shelf, and I'll just put up with the holeFor the 3rd brake light ;)Plans are;Wouldn't mind getting the genuine front lip for it or a jam one, I've kept my cades Eros 16's off my paseo so I'll be putting those on soon, and I need to quieten down the tenzo-r back box, as is just plain loud!

scutch0 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome back guys.It's nice to be back in a starlet, even tho the paseo is was a far better spec'd machine. If anybody needs a daily, I highly recommend one!Handling was far better too, I guess that's due to the stiffer bodyshell.I've now bought a shelf and boot carpet, so just waiting for this to arrive, also fitted my greedy grex gear knob (I last used this on my na starlet!)And my tenzo-r back box was a slash cut, which I've quickly changed to a straight cut, as I'm not a fan of slash cut exhausts (I put up with the supra one because it's a nur spec) just trying to get a bung to fit it so it's quieter. Need a 3.5 inch one if anyone has a spare kicking about!Si and phil, good to see you're still the furniture on here! Si, I don't blame you for moving on, I think jeff was one of those projects that didn't want to be completed! Glad you moved on finally!Phil, I think you have the inspirational starlet now tho buddy!

scutch0 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ok so over the last few weeks I've been gradually doing a few bits and bobs...Binned the crap mdf parcel shelf and shagged speakers in favour of a stock shelf and a set of infiniti 6933i'sThe paintwork on te rear of the car was in a bad way too, with rust coming through on the hatch and a large area on the bumper where paint had splintered off, so in typical diy fashion I qued the music and got to workI then decided I fancied some yellow fogs And some 'scene' graphics just for the hell of it!Then I decided I really wanted the oem front lip for it however they're pretty expensive and as I'm generally skint I snapped up a broken one so that I could repair it.Had to cut a section out of it...I also started a side project I affectionately named project:shutthefuckup Basically the exhaust is far too loud still, so I modified the bung to make it quieter!Fitted a restrictor ring in the bung to increase back pressure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
