Ricksta Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 We bought our starlet in January this year. Origionally my wife was very unsure about the starlets, and tbh i didnt really fit in the. but after going through all other car options, we stlled on one. by the time shelly had driven it home she loved it. but we had to get the seats moved, deciding the standard seats werent really what we wanted, a colour scheme of blue was decided and we bought a piar of blue seats, and them fitted a lot lower, and further back in the car. seats in, costing a lot more than first quoted, and still need a bit of tweaking . We ordered some window tints off amazon. Not sure what springs we have on there, but the rear seems to sit high. As im currently breaking our old Celica, I ordered a pair of 280mm Astra brake discs, and used the st202 Celica calipers and yellow stuff pads, giving a much improved braking. A quick trip up to London, and picked up a set of wheels, had them powder coated blue. I think thats pretty much it so far, as it stands at the moment. We have a giant rear brace to go in, jut because i think it will look cool, and the round head lights.We also have a sticky rear Caliper.The passenger window doesnt work.the thermostat needs replacing.A few other little bits but generally speaking we love the car, and cant wait to get it out on track at Japfest.

Malcolm GT Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Don't change to quads, single square lights are the best!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricksta Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Cheers guys No idea on make of wheels, just bought them off ebay .Afraid the wife like round lights, hence the afterburner rears on her old celica.In the process of replacing rear brakes.Front brakes work really well.
