SRchris Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Well guys where do i start. Firstly I would like to thank Rob Ebbs (Rbz). For all the help and support and all the midnight lovers afair of talking about them, one day i hope to have your glanza in my rear view mirror mate ;) and Daniel Hart who is not a member on this forum but VXRONLINE and is a proud owner of his Astra VXR. He was the key that brought me towards the car! If it wasnt for him i wouldnt be driving it today! Thanks for the lift Dan! My Story It all started 8 years ago when my brother brought home a Toyota Starlet SR In moonstone Silver. S582 GBF was the reg. We have no photos as it was tiiimmmmeee ago. But as an 11 year old boy I wanted one. Today 8 years later after none stop talking about them i have brought a black standard SR!! £1550 got me ...... -S970 UDX-1 lady owner-65,000 miles-Full History 13 stamps from new. It has been serviced at a toyota dealership twice and was serviced at croydon motor company other times. It even has some toyota dealership service money off vouchers!-Full Spare speedline wheel- 3 Keys!!! Bad points. - Few scuffs and dents. (All minor and repairible which will be done at a later date)-Wheels are battered!! but reparable!-Pea shooter exhaust........ Myther to get the TTE one back on I HATED THE PEE SHOOTER EXHAUST! Dans sexy VXR ^^^^ A few weeks later I then sourced an origional TTE Remus backbox of a Yaris. It was in a poor pitted condition but abit of elbow grease and metal polish got it sorted. The guy sold it me for £20! QUIDS IN!! I took it to my local powerflow exhaust systems garage and he did a few modifications to the exhaust brakets. For people who are thinking about fitting one from a yaris THEY DO FIT! however you must see a specialist or an aluminium welder. Modifications to Exhaust needed:- Silencer and rear pipe was chopped so an extention could be made.( otherwise the exhaust would sit flush to the bumper and not show the TTE badge...... which is why you have one to show it off right ;) ???) - Front bracket chopped nearest to chrome tip muffler. (without this mod, the bracket would catch on the bumper and not allow it to fit at all) - Like some exhausts.... The rubber bracket to keep it held on. It does move as its only rubber but dont be disheartend as its quite a firm rubber mount... you can move your muffler like 5 cm and it would stay in the same place. Pic of it being done...... Now.... My finnished Standard SR with the standard TTE Muffler. (That was a fucking bitch to find!) Mods done to date.... - Pioneer Head unit.- White HID's Dont like blue Mods in the future...... - Speakers + space saving sub.- Wind deflectors,-Clear indicators,-Clear repeators,-Privacy glass,-UKSO forum sticker in rear quater window.-TRD badge somewhere.... havent decided where :/ Hope the photos have come up ok.... I know the cars a little dirty on some ENJOY Chris Caci Edited April 9, 2013 by SRchris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
