pinske Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 to be fair ive not seen MLs on a starlet! i seen some wheels on ebay the other day called Traklite Apex's that i reckon would look insane on a starlet, not been done before either (far as im aware) may be worth a look?this is them - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traklite-Apex-Alloys-15-x-8-25-20-4x100-114-Matt-Black-Red-Rivets-Civic-MX5-VAG-/221243138028?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item33831e5fec wish i'd got these but too expensive!

pinske Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 So.... New tyres, seat rails, steering wheel, manifold gasket etc all arrived. Cats going back in the exhaust this week as well as getting insurance, tax and get the new tyres on. Seats will have to wait a week or so while I fab the mounts up. Expensive month! Definitely not good on an apprenticeship wage! Sam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinske Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 few updates: rolled my arches ;) Also fitted my new seats, steering wheel, harnesses and how they look now couple of pics from the other night Next up is false floor and a service. and got an idea for an exhaust that will either look massively sh*t or cool...

dan106 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 There in my progress blog somewhere, we literally just welded a bend onto the end of the standard back box, it looked terrible, i have been thinking about another one recently, but i need the bit that goes over the beam to play with, got a couple of different ideas i wana play with! Just be careful about the old bill, because they are ilegal as fuck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet-Joshy Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ahh exhaust is good mate, had a feeling you were gonna do bouzoku!I'm sure it will work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just be careful about the old bill, because they are ilegal as fuck!Sure they're illegal? Surely protruding exhaust piping is fine since caterams, lorry's and some landrovers have exhausts on the outside. I'll give VOSA a ring because can't be bothered with more hassle off the police :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyllewellyn Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Man! i am loving those wheels, never seen them before but have a really soft spot for some weller wheel, somthing about the minimalist design that just ticks the boxes for me, look good in 16 aswell.Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah man very illegal, exhaust can only stick out 15mm further than the furthest point on the rear bumper I think, that and you'll burn your legs getting stuff out the back like me and my mates did all the time aha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pinske Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 little updates. picked up this motorbike exhaust for free for a play about as the Boso style i wanted may attract the police too much, and it turned out like this...]gonna connect it up next weekend! got a fully refurbed GT turbo rear beam + adjustable panhard rod for £30!!! (god know when ill bother fitting it though) went a bit radge and bought some JDM/ drift style fiberglass bolt on arches from Stucat87 which ill get photos up of when they arrive! means ill be taking a grinder to my front and rear arches which will be... entertaining..... to be fair though, what it needs most is a good service and a clean because at the moment its turned into a #NoFucksGiven sort of car which i never really wanted to happen to it :/ anyway, ill update with pics when possible.Opinions on the exhaust?
