Matts Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Ok so i finally got my first ep today and i'm more than happy with it! just what i was looking for and at a great price too. i purchased it from another member here so you may know it / have seen it.its a 97 starlet CD which has ticked just over 82,000 and has full service history also.here is how she looked when he purchased her,and here is how she stands at the moment (how i received the car),lowered 35/40mm (im not 100% sure) on spax,glanza 98 spec front seats,glanza 96 spec read seats,glanza 96 spec door cards,clear indicator lenses,side bump strips removed,tte rear spoiler,yaris black alloysrear reflet lights have been removed since the picture but be sure that ill be putting a set straight back in there!until i can get it insured within a month or two hopefully (fingers crossed) this will be a slow build but once ive paid off the insurance then i'll start the good stuff! engine and exterior wise! glanza rear and im not sure about the front maybe glanza with lip or maybe custom n/a.if the weather picks up a little tomorrow im gonna give her a good clean out and detailing and ill get a few pictures up after! what do you think?

Amjad Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Get it handling nicely, that's something the NAs are capable of ;)Rear/Front strut braces, ARBS, Anti-lift kitThen a K&N panel filter, Rolla mani and maybe a 2" cat back if you have spare cash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Handling was the first priority on my N/a so i would defiantly recommend doing that dude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matts Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ok guys thanks ill sort the handling out first like you both said and then ill start some mods! ill update this thread when i start the handling/engine and exterior mods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matts Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Ok its been a while since i updated this but anyways, i picked my self up a glanza rear bum from whitegv the other week and got it painted and i also picked my self up some skirts from fleabay which werent in great condition so i went ahead earlier today and sanded them down, prepared and primered them and painted them ready to be put on tomorrow so i will post more pictures tomorrow with the skirts on.next on the list is a jdm sized plate, a custom exhaust from custom pipes in doncaster and if i can find one a rear number plate surround from a glanza (anyone have one prefrebably in 1A0)before,after,skirts before prep and paint full of chips and marks (didnt take one after i had finished but i will tomorrow)should i keep the TTE spoiler or get a glanza one?

BigMan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 looks great mate and id get a glanza one but just out of preference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dazzariley69 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 lookin good so far matey. i would personaly go for a glanza rear spoiler but not everyone would agree i guess. what do you think bud? all about making it your own but certainly going well, especialy with them handling mods on the list mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matts Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks guys, yeah i think i would prefer a glanza spoiler in time anyways the next things for me are the handling/exhaust and rear surround. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
