Markgtni Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 hello all I've had my baby now for about 4years now and owned a 98 n/a model before that so have to say im a big starlet fan shes a 95 gt advance but due to me stupidly wrecking my 1st engine for not keepin her topped with oil then losing my license and having the car smashed up by wee pricks the car is now a project... bought a glanza engine second hand and there was problems so got it changed got an engine out of 93 problems again so had a bit of work done head gasket throttlebody and knock sensor but was still revving bit high and failed on emissions recently and left it in to be sorted for the mot and the mechanic phoned me up and said he could have it sorted for 780 paid that and got the car home in worse condition so i complained and the mechanic said to send it out that he would have a look and came back to me sayin its gona cost 970 for a engine rebuild with second hand parts and i got advice of a friend that i could go forged for around the same price and the mechanic tried to advise me not to go forged said it wouldnt last so had to pay another400 to get my car back with the engin and gearbox completely stripped and threw into the back of the car ruining my seats at the same time so taking him to court to recover costs so will be a while before i start a build thread but will be starting from scratch and want to go forged so will need all you guys advice when it comes to it...

JamesD89 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Looks nice mate bit different dunno about the bonnet though spray job looks good. Quote
Markgtni Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks lad wanted it to be bit different and is it the vinyl you dont like or do you reckon i should have had it all done? would like to get the top scoop covered and go front mount but i think id keep the vinyl look.. Quote
JamesD89 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 yeah the carbon vinyl im not very keen on but it looks better the way u got it imo with the scoop in red that's the beauty of wrap though it can always come off looks a nice motor mate and you have made it your own Quote
Markgtni Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 true hav had a few people say they would rather leave the vinyl out too but as ya say its diff an makes it my own which i cant complain about cheers again mate Quote
