This Worth Buying ?

[daniel_g]

Stumbled across this when doing a bit of starlet hunting. Thought it might make a good base to convert.

Yes i know its fugly and auto.

Also its NOT a EP95, because i phoned the dude and made him read me the VIN lol.

Opinions please

[kavan-k]

For a conversion its not a bad base at that money, it is fugly as right enough haha

[TurboTobz]

People pay insane amounts or carat lights and bits you'd probably make your money back off them lol.

[daniel_g]

I know the rear lights go for about 80 or so, what else sells ? Front grille lol ?

But i wouldn't want to break the poor thing up into parts.

I was proper hoping for it to be a 95 though, oh well lol.

There is also a rear ended white V on gumtree atm, i was gonna buy it but the boy sold it to another lad who will just break it, so all the parts will be easy got i reckon.

Might go view this carat tomorrow, it only 15 miles from me

[TurboTobz]

I've seen them lights at like £130 before. But yeah make it into a sleeper

[Dale SR]

a think you shud get it mate. a was just looking at it on gum-tree thought it was a bargain,

[daniel_g]

Aye man i think i will get it and turbo the fuck out of it

[Dale SR]

Aye man i think i will get it and turbo the fuck out of it

defo man lol, a see it has electric wing mirrors lol ye a got the Aussie 1, a had her for a month wen ma silver sr was off th road, ma bro got her now its sweet as like.

[bucketep91]

That would be cool mate! Buy it

[daniel_g]

Sound Dale, and aye Charlie i'll head over tomorrow and take a look at it

I still wonder why these jap N/a starlets end up over here, musta cost someone a fortune to import that. Same with your Australian one Dale.

[bucketep91]

It is a bit wierd, i stumbled on an ep85 a few years ago on auto trader, the guy had no idea what it was. I offered a deposit but he promised to hold it, i booked a flight and he called me the next day to say he sold it lol was fucking radging. Turned out da69er fromm tgtt baught it

[daniel_g]

Aww man id be livid if that happened lol, well if it was a decent car or whatever and it got swiped from under you. He would have prob offered a lot of cash for that 85 i bet. I was chatting to Geo on his forum by the way and he was saying hes selling up but cant get back on there, is it down again do you know ?

[TurboTobz]

Not working my end either :/

[bucketep91]

Dunno wats hapening with uksc mate, he said he would sell it if the right offer came along but i know he wont lol he fucking loves that car

[daniel_g]

Thats a shame, it was coming along aswell.

I dont have the cash for the swat one but he said he has another which i was in talks about getting.

Hes on holiday atm so maybe thats got something to do with why it went down, fuck knows.

i some folk must of loved them anyway to bring them across the world, means there well looked after lol

[bucketep91]

His ex's black one? Aye i read something about that might be worth a shout, i wanted a black one. I said id take one in any colour except silver but when he found me a mint 99 silver one i had to have it lol

[daniel_g]

Aye thats the one, hes got my number and knows am interested so we'll see what happens, prob fuck all tbh lol. I think the silver looks mint actually, my current car and last two cars have been silver

Thats true Dale, hopefully its alright like.

[garrygt]

Seen this in falkirk a few times an always thought it was a 95. Was goin to put a note on the window but by the time i went to do it it was gone

[daniel_g]

Ahh really, if i'd have seen it i'd be stopping the dude to have a swatch underneath to look for 4wd'ness. Can you mind where about in Falkirk ? Am there quite often and ave never seen it scooting about.

[garrygt]

Was near camelon not far from the new hospital

[daniel_g]

Just went and bought this lol. No pics yet, but its scuffed to fuck and the paint has turned to matte haha.

I'll get a progress thread up soon i guess, now just need to get hunting for a half decent Glanza donor !!

[bucketep91]

Nice one! This will be hillarious when its boosted!

Im breaking a white gt if u want anything mate

[daniel_g]

Am in two minds weather to keep the front or not, the Carat rear end is staying though Yes Charlie i'll be prob be needing a few parts no doubt. Am gonna try again and phone this dude that stays near me, hes got a rear ended V and i really could be doing with the whole thing.

Anyway the Carat has a Gen3 4EFE with the coilpack and the different manifolds. Also has AC and ABS, electric windows and mirrors. Has some weird chrome shit aswell haha.

[bucketep91]

Sounds like the same spec my 4paw came with. I thought about using the coilpack set up on the fte but didnt know where to start lol

Id keep the front as is
