Rosso321 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) all started when my sister had a ep 80 whiny colour while I was driving my moped and so I bought it to start off and I fell in love in which I had spare time so I kept it clean as possible. Here's a bad pic sorry have to find the pics sorry then after a two years and 70.000miles more I hit a kerb so it was a right off then I set off for another starlet picked one up with 49,00iles and started to modify her while in college and that's when started to love the gt as it was Japanse history of the starlet. Hers a pictureI then sold her on and bought my first gt turbo in June 2010 and when I first saw her I was in love here's one off the first pics I have After in college with the gt all the traveling from Wicklow to college in athlone the mileage started to roll higher and with delivering pizzas it went from 149,000km plus within the year and as a student funds wouldn't allow to modify the gt. So bit by bit very slowly plan was for ct9 hybrid but didn't bother.

At enniskillen in 2011 where I met wee johns sleeper in which I was amazed by as I read his build thread. After 11 runs I only beat two as I couldn't get the power down in the wet. Il have a look out for the time cards. After this I was thinking more power but life went on. Moved in with my girlfriend into our new apartment so did the decking on the balcony. Drove up the m50 like this back and noticed like a rocket noise didn't know it was me for a while planted the foot down again and loved way it changed tone Car made 132.9bhp with boost leak at .6 so was impressed have to look for the print out. Had to be done thought looked better and cleaner then the new cars. Just pictures from washing her. My favorite at the mo. My day trip to jays what a day and experience up in gt world. Talked for agesBought this amazing optional extra full complet plastics caps studs carpet the lot. Thanks again jay. Trip to Clare. Clitit bang and the dirt is goneTime for a upgrade as had theses in the shed over a yearGreat upgrade tbh. Drove to cork to collect my wheels the morning off the tggt meet in Wicklow was up at 430am but worth it as got the 5 alloys and wanted them for years. So have to get them refurbished now and away we go. Next on the list was a mani because off my leaking boost for agesSo I had a word with sacha with their amazing offer so was time for thesesThanks again man well worth the wait. Zisco oil feed and hks actuator. Thanks Keith. My recaros as had them in my room near a year waiting on rails to come inLoves these but like to have fishnets. Picked this bad boy up after falling in love with them had to have one and found this in holland I was searching nearly 24/7 need to be full time job as rare parts get snapped up so quick as you guys know. So after the vanity tray I thought I was set until I came across a boot matHappy with the extras at the moment as it's more maintance like what I foundHope it's not too late. Thoughts be great and whats best approach. Changed the carpet as wellThink it's time for a new exhaust to be made upThis is the most recent pictureHope its a good read as I've read loads and was extremely impressed some great work and cars on here. My aim for the car is to keep it clean and original and more factory optionals as I'll never sell up love the car so much as it a life time project hahaPlans are to underseal Respray New front bumper Fix oil leak Paint up few things Take the engine out to paint engine bay and engine. But hard done as it's my dailyThanks for looking and comments and suggestions will be appreciated :-) Edited December 12, 2014 by Rosso321 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
