Jynx Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm JohnI'm from the West Midlands, WolverhamptonNew to this site but have been using it for a while browsing the owners blogs and would like to say there are some fine examples of Starlets and Glanza on here makes me jealous that mines not like them,Hopefully that wont be for too long, MY car i call Jinx because of a sticker i have on the back , I have a 1998 Starlet S 1.3 N/A in red with 91000 on the clock, Didn't cost me a lot and came with Alloy wheels which look like Team Dynamics and a John Ashley Exhaust, doesn't sound too bad, Haven't been able to spend a lot on it at the moment as my insurance is £1800 first time driver at 23, The only modification made is a induction kit, a universal carbon "look" filter until i can get a BMC CDA The car drives lovely and is a throaty little thing for such as small engine size, the only thing i'm not too keen on is the body roll but hopefully a Tein spring change is coming soon I have stuck a few stickers on and painted the badges and CD player surround purple, Also fitted a vauxhall astra front splitter Here are a few pictures i have of her What you guys think? and any suggestions of things to do to it are very welcome, Quote
2333ricky Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Welcome...what with the purple toyota badge on the side of the boot??? Quote
Jynx Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Haha i thought its a different place to put the badge i prefer it there to the middle, not your thing? Quote
Jynx Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks guys i love the red starlets mine has suffered from a lot of sun fade some parts its really bad like the roof but the rest i have managed to bring back up a little with some t-cut and Maguire's wax not keen on my alloy wheels i dont think they suit the car Quote

steve1093 Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Cheers mate im looking for some springs at the moment until i can save for coilies anyone got any advise on decent springs looking avout 30-50mm dropKnow the feeling! I'm running cut Tein springs at the moment, and they're pretty good in terms of helping with body roll and things. Getting some BC coilovers this month though, which should improve things a lot more.

Jynx Posted August 18, 2013 Author Posted August 18, 2013 I was looking at the tein springs i think they were 50mm drop and around £150 i dont like the arch gap you recommend the tiens? Quote
