RichardKSavage Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi all, I think I saw your club section at JapFest this year, and I was pleased to see some other Paseos there besides mine. I'm based around North Hertfordshire and have seen a few modified Starlets on the drive to work so I figured a few might be members here. Also hello to ShafzC! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RichardKSavage Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 I will put up the photos I have so far, I haven't done much to personalise it since I bought it but the previous owner went nuts with the stickerbombing. So far I'm thinking of buying and spraying white a toyota badge for the front, I think it'll go nicely with the blue paint. Any go faster mods will have to wait until the no claims builds up but it's lowered 40mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Welcome to UKSO buddy. I like these even more since seening a few at japfest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardKSavage Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks all for the replies, I'm uploading some japfest pics I took right now but I'll get some of the car up after that. It turns out one of the previous owners posted the car as a project when he owned it: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/42885-my-daily-runabout-aka-project-magpie/ It still goes through oil like it's got a rotary engine but it's done 6000 miles with me through all weather and never missed a beat.

RichardKSavage Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have been reading about 4EFTE swaps, and how they fit in Paseos better than the high compression version of my engine. Maybe if the engine goes! Thanks for the replies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scutch0 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Haha! My old one! She was a beast of a little motor, but she did drink oil like it was going out of fashion! I had her as a runabout then swapped it with my mate for his starlet. Yeah the sticker bombing was a bit of a laugh, as was the whole experience of owning it! Loved the exhaust, if its still the same it's a Glanza v system with the mid box removed. Sounded great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Just read back through that thread, what a blast from the past! Glad I owned one! Always fancied one, if anyone needs a daily a paseo is one of the best cheap options I can imagine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardKSavage Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the replies all. It does still have the Glanza exhaust, it sounds fantastic and yet the car still handles driving to work fine. It's at about 108,000 miles ish and runs fine (touch wood). It even managed to get down to Torquay last winter when the weather was at monsoon levels. Edited May 19, 2013 by RichardKSavage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I wonder how many miles you can gwt it up to before it goes boom! Good luck! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
