levi Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I have been after a Starlet for a while and I finally came into possession of one tonight! This already belonged to another member of the forum, and my good friend Jim - but the bottom end is going at 147k! I already have a daily so no limits on how hardcore it can get! It's going to need a new engine before it goes back on the road. I would like to make things interesting with some sort of N/A all motor goodness but i think for ease and cost a 4E-FTE will probably go in! To be honest i'm looking forward to it as a project but i don't really know where the hell i'm going to end up with this car! First job is a complete strip down!

Starlet-Joshy Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Good base to start with!, Glanza kit?, nice standard silver colour for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'd get the engine sound before doing any exterior things Hope it gets boosted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

levi Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Boost, sleeper! Winning! Exactly!! Good base to start with!, Glanza kit?, nice standard silver colour for it It has a few bits on already, TTE spoiler and Glanza rear bumper i'm not sure what i'm going to do with the front end yet! I'd get the engine sound before doing any exterior things Hope it gets boosted Getting the engine sometime in the next week - might as well crack on and get a few bits tidied up while i'm waiting! Looks smart bud!Get a glanza front end on! I'm unsure... it will look a lot nicer with a Glanza front end but can't decide whether i want to keep the NA one for more sleeper-ness!!

levi Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 "New" 4EFE out of a Corolla with 35k miles purchased today for £140! This will be getting some love over the next few days. Rear arches given a bit of a scrub and a lick of paint! Strut brace I picked up with the car painted.. needs another coat can still see the horrible luminous green underneath!
