dan106 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 Got the gt turbo brakes on today, very unimpressed with them tbh, hoping they just need another bleed. They look cool though.BeforeAfterHsnds free bleeding...Looks sweet behing the purpleAll for now! Quote
Amjad Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Might be those discs? I used the same style grooved and dimpled NA size and they were rubbish, switched to GT Turbo discs (OEM style) and they were much better Quote
yaristurbo Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Don't these take a good few mile to bed in? Edited December 21, 2012 by yaristurbo Quote
dan106 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Posted December 23, 2012 Hmm i hope its not the discs, i only got these because they were cheaper than buying standard ones!They definately feel better now, and alot better once theyre warm, pedal still feels shit so hopefully a manual bleed will sort it out.In other news i just found out my mates got some 20mm spacers with the studs in them, so im gna test those out asap then i just gotta get a new seto of wheel nuts and i can fit the ats' when i buy em!

TrisK Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Surely you won't need as big as 20mmAren't you gonna end up with mad poke? Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 What off set are they ? I run 7j slips with 20mm spacers and there pretty flush with my archs. Quote
dan106 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Well its worth a try! As im not sure if you can get spacers any smaller with the studs in them?I havent the foggiest about the offset really, its gotta be low as i had the same problems when i tried a set of et0 grids on.Oh, and what do you guys think of these wheelnuts?/>http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300815408482?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 Edited December 23, 2012 by dan106 Quote
TrisK Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Just thought id leave some of these here for you DanI have no other information on these, but thought id post them here for you... Quote
Xpect Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Why the hell do some German tuners have to let EVERY car look like a Golf or Polo -.- The blueish one looks like a Opel Corsa B and the Cream-colored one looks like one of those ugly Polo 6N's with this stupid "Evil Eyes" (Freely translated as I just talk about the Eyelid-style thing) Quote
dan106 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 Ive seen that beige one before, the boots got eyelids on it aswell, seen any stanced on 13s though? Quote
Xpect Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) I've never seen that beige one. Seems the owner isn't in the German Starlet Club. Or he was active a few years ago and isn't anymore. But that pic is not that old as he has remains of the old Exhaustgas-Test on the front plate which we don't need anymore as now its together with our TÜV (your MOT). That has changed just two years ago in 2010. Edited December 24, 2012 by Xpect Quote
dan106 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Did a couple of bits while at work todayCleaned it finallyBeforeAfterWhen i got the car the washer jets were poo, so, took my mist style ones outta my 106 and put em on the starletSo much better than the standard ones!Also got a little air filter heatshield off a mate, yet to sort out the cold air feed...Covex'd the side repeaters, only vosa approved and legal light tinting in the uk!And a final shot of it outside the workshopAnd ive started saving for the ats', should be trying on a set of 20mm spacers with the ats soon aswell.All for now!

Billy SR Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 gotta be the first debadged starlet i've seen that looks good, really getting there! Quote
dan106 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 Cheers lads!Borrowed a 20mm spacer off a mate, the wheel clears the brake but im struggling to find nuts small enough to bolt the spacer to the hub, so atm im still unsure whether theres gonna be hellapoke or not.Heres how it sits jacked up thou...

Hawwy Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Just thought id leave some of these here for you DanI have no other information on these, but thought id post them here for you...Now how has the cream one have camber on rear Quote
dan106 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Finally got the pics from the rolling road day And i got some nuts off ebay to try the spacers properly Sits fooking lovely! and the wheel spins freely too. Now how has the cream one have camber on rear I had this much camber one my old fiesta All it took was 12 washers, i havent looked at doing it on the starlet yet thou Edited January 11, 2013 by dan106 Quote
morgey Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Starlet cant be done, the stub axle is welded to the rear beam! Only way to do it would be cut it off an weld it back on at an angle :/ Quote
Jamie93DLZ Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Starlet cant be done, the stub axle is welded to the rear beam!Only way to do it would be cut it off an weld it back on at an angle :/I think it can be done but not share as ive seen it done to a corsa Quote
dan106 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 Ah well that sucks! Corsa can be done with washers mate Quote
morgey Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 It is possible but jts alot of work, to get it welded back on straight and with equal camber on each side would require a jig etc ideally Quote
dan106 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 Thats way too much work on a car that cost 500 quid lol! Quote
Jamie93DLZ Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Just alot of hassle is right haha. Cool we starlet you have dan, looks the part on the wheels Quote
dan106 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 Cheers mate! Will look the dogs when i get em on properly and lower it some more! What wheels you running? they look pretty sweet but your avatars too small to see! Quote
