pinske Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Cheers trisk! And Dan what's have you taken out of your coilies? because I don't want to be messing with the internals as I'd prefer it to handle like it does now but lower and yeah the threaded body of the strut goes down and touches the CV boot :/ not sure if I could chop thread off though because I think its got the internals behind. Ideally need an internal view of them. And wheels do need painted and spaced which will probably happen next month. Although I'm looking into adapters at the moment to try and run vitara Fatboy wheels haha, mate of mine makes adapters at his work for the local dub lads so were gonna see what we can do. I fancy some mad 15x10 3 spokes off a Fatboy but the offset is insane! (-30) Cheers Josh, got lows sorted for yours yet? Can't wait to see yours either mate! Yeah Lew, needs spaced badly. Gonna try wider wheels as mentioned above Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet-Joshy Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hopefully getting my RS*R springs Tomoz night then fit Friday! Hopefully be lower before japfest!!Also got my door numbers to fit! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy SR Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Go for some mad 90's style 3 spokes. Full of win Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Sam you need some 'feed side skirts'. They'd suit your look well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Helpers and one of the locking rings, made mine go quite a bit lower, that's true I didn't think of the internals. Running them deck low will shorten the life of the coilovers mind, my teins are ruined now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I love this! On looking at it at Japfest theres a few small things I'd do.. Zep SpoilerEyebrows of some form... Maybe custom jobbies?Door frames black (like the Glanza) Keep up this epic work man. Who would've thought this little pink thing could pull it off so well!? Pulls it off far better than I can imagine in any other colour! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Wasn't too keen on the arches, but in that pic with the wheels spaced out it looks spot on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pinske Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 right lads! need a bit of help... decided I dislike my bolt on wings so soon as i source new front wings and front bumper they will be coming off. Ive finally realised my wheels are way to wide because even with 3 inches missing front the front arches, the coilovers set at their hardest and the springs wound as tight as possible it still catches. its just ruined all drivabilty looking to keep the front splitter, get feed style side skirts and livesports rear wing after i get my holiday out the way in august. but in the mean time i want the arches off and some narrower wheels (or ones with a different offset.,) so i'm after your suggestions! currently running 15x8j et0 with stretched 195/45s. was looking at maybe 15x7 et25/30? to 100% eliminate the tyres scraping or 15x7.5 and et40ish. still want to run 195s as i think they are ideal for the starlet chassis and still want 15s. what width offset would you reccommend? also what wheels? after something show worthy but not a common style. budget of £200 - £500my arches will be rolled as far as possible to accomodate the wheels so bear that in mind, this also means the bullet steels are up for SALE!! tyres included - PM for info, will also consider SWAPS cheers, Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 15x8 et25. Fits perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinske Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 15x8 et25. Fits perfect Trisk, does that mean theyll sit 25mm further in than my current ones? this might be the answer to my problem! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lew777 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Try turning the coilovers down. When I had 16x8 et10 I turned my coilovers to their tightest and it was horrible to drive so I turned them back a couple of turns and it sorted it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I had 16x8 et10 I turned my coilovers to their tightest and it was horrible to drive so I turned them back a couple of turns and it sorted it out. the main problem i have is the wheels offset means they dig in to my arches in any form of 'enthusiastic' cornering, i dont mind a hard ride but hate the fact my wheels are fucking the body work.

dangeestarlet Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looked so much better without arches IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinske Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Looked so much better without arches IMO i know mate, wish i hadnt done it now! haha, just wanted to see how they looked and since nobody had done it before i thought i'd pioneer it and i have come to the conclusion 'DONT DO IT, EVER.' anyone know of front bumper and front wings for sale in 3m0 pink? maybe at your local scrappy or whatever? im in need! failing that either black or red. need to be in good condition and not much money. sam.
