Graeme Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) FINALLY BACK IN A STARLET!!!!!Sold my GT a couple years ago as I moved into the city and didn't need a car. Regret that decision every day, that car was awesome. I think its now written off as well Picked up a pretty decent Glanza from my mate, decent spec and should be decent base for my plans Mines the black one with Scotts new auto V that is amazing, bought from a member off here.Spec off the top of my head is WEPR CT9 Power-up kit (mani+decat) WEPR FMIC, Tial external waste gate, Blue Flame Exhast, EBC Yellow stuff pads + front grooved disks, some form of aftermarket lowing springs with dampers (no markings that i can make out but they're not the standard items), Livesports rear wing will be coming off as I want to put the standard one back on, I've also got recaro front seats, the passenger one is welded in already, need to get a subframe to suit the drivers side, currently got an ep95 seat and its utter wank...Anyway, I'll try and keep this updated as much as I can, don't expect many changes until next year though Planning on going down the k24 with forged internals route as everyone does TD04, I want to do something different.

Graeme Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Both will be well looked after. Most people like the livesports wing, but its just not for me. Will be up for sale when I swap it for my OEM one. Loving driving it so far. So much fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Graeme Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Went to change the rear brake pads as they shafted, looks like the calliper is fubar'd. My friends dad is going to give me a hand reconditioning it, apparently he had to do a similar thing on a GT. If they are too far gone I'll be after a set of rear callipers. Anyone got a set lying around they want to give/sell to me for much cheapness?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Got the spoiler off and I'm back to OEM.car looks weird now, think it needs a duck tail, i'll get one eventually. I have also ditched the rear tints as i couldnt see out the back at all. not good.Just need to sort the rear brakes and get my drivers recaro welded in and i'll be happy.The oem one i have has a small crack, will get this sorted out soon, only noticeable up close and the tailgate paint has worn where the livesports was touching it. so that will need to be sorted quite soon to avoid corrosion. Will do a quick paint job just to prevent that then get it done professionally one day. Edited August 6, 2012 by Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Almost forgot about my other mod with the car, you can see it in the pic above. I mounted a set of alpine speakers to my parcel shelf. They light up and are generally made of awesome. Sound is a bit weak but I haven't made vents under so there isn't enough air being moved, once thats sorted I reckon the sound will be ace.(Cheers Scott ;)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Graeme Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 The rear brakes got sorted today, one bastard of a rear piston was seized. My friends dad managed to get it out and we polished it up and got it back in. Brakes are now much better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Day off today so did some work on the car. I decided I wanted orange lenses on my indicators so I swapped them over. Before I did that i painted the inside satin black, its a very subtle change from the grey it was and you would notice it more with the clear lenses, but it does make a difference to the front. It looks like I think it should have looked from the factory. Im happy Primerno pics of it black (use your imagination here...)reassembled and fittedI also received the recaro rear bench from Si today. Its mint. took 10 min to fit and makes the interior so much better. Just need to get some new rails made up for the fronts. The passenger one sits far too high and i don't even have one for the drivers side, I've fallen out of the EP95 seat a few times going round corners.Fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Let Scott borrow my wheels for his MOT as his tyres are on the legal limit and new ones wont arrive in time, got his wheels on mine just now.Looks quite nice, its sitting low with the 14's, scrapes going up onto the drive though.Thief hard at work...
