_shaun_ Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 well i supose i better post in here ull have to forgive the lack of pictures i get caught up in what am doing and forget to take pics lol. took my td04 ep91 off the road in august to do a forged build i found a nice 5e and dumped it in the kitchen when the misses was at work and she fliped out telling me i better move it or else! so i left it there knowing fine well she would never be able to move it. a month passed and she told me it was time to get a garage so i didnt fill the house with "shit" as she so kindly put it so the search began and we finaly got a garage not long after i came across this. i had wanted to get a 4paw since i first herd of them but by the time i got the cash geo had stoped importing them and no websites had any for sale so i had gave up . but when i saw this the desire to own it was just to much i looked in to importing and there was a lack of info on it however as i started to search forum after forum it looked to easy and affordable not to have a go so i just bit the bullet and went for it. started to get the garage ready for its arrival. then 2 months later it arrived wouldnt turn over so banged in the battery from the glanza and it fired up right away went a spin in it and was pretty impressed how nippy it was for a none turbo parked it up for the night to get cracking on it in the morning gotta be the strangest sticker ive had put on a car i bought sneaky bum shot the plan for the car is a forged 5e running a dta standalone with a gt28 turbo. i also have tom's front bumper sideskirts and rear spats along with a liversports spoiler which ill spray myself to make it look abit more aggressive while i try get all powerside of things sorted. ill then take it off the road in the winter and have it sprayed a pearl white and try bring the bodywork up to a show standard.with this in mind am going to mot the car as standard to make life easier so theres not much i can do to the car untill then but dying to do something to the car i went out to the garage and seen this....so yea unlikely ill be needing the a/c anytime soon so that was first togo:shortly after next on the list was to get a rear fog light for the mot so wired in my 98 spec lights and with the plastics off i decided to ditch the rear seats and wire in my my headunit , sub, vibe dash speakers and cross overs. also ran cables for my tweeters and jdm rear speakers but i have to freshen them up abit before they go in. found this aswell which ive never seen before in a starlet ran out of things todo on the car itself till its moted or payday comes around so set about making something to hold the tweeters.then i spotted the rear bumper and decided as am running a front exit the groove for the exhaust would annoy me so before i grabed a dremel and some fiberglass filled it abit and started to sand it before i ran out of sand paper gave it a quik spray of paint so i can try get a feel for the lines abit more not bad so far considering this is first time ive had a go at bodywork . thats about as far as i am right now i go back to work monday so progress will slow right down apart from weekends. hopefully on payday i can start to add parts to my current stock pile have the 5e sitting striped and these goodies waiting have also put down a deposit on a zisco gt28 kit with cruise style manifold and side exit but dont have any pictures of that not the most entertaining of build threads but once i get the last few big ticket parts paid for am pretty hopefully i can get the car up and running for june/july and try my hand at a few track days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 ummmm, yea........ you say that but mines been off road close to 18months!! if its totaly of the road then its easier to get side tracked with other things as the cars not going anywhere. just keep hard on it because as soon as you take a few weekends off it just gets pushed aside is easily done and then you end up where mine is.
