Cammy R Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 So tiny update on this it is MOT time on saturday but it should pass hopefully as January is a very long month! Also had a little accident on the way to work this morning went round a corner that was sheet ice bounced over the curb and one wheel ended up in the ditch managed to reverse out everything seems okay cosmetic wise apart from mud and it still drives the same but i will inspect the damage done to the underside when it is up on the ramps on saturday and hopefully all is good!

Cammy R Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Little update here! Got a couple of piccys of parts I've had lying about for a while don't think i have ever mentioned them yet!First bit is a genuine duck spoiler rattle canned black by somebody can still see where it was 1ao underneath which is a real shame but hey ho! No pictures unwrapped because it really ain't very prettyAlso have a Glanza inlet manifold which a friend kindly painted red with industrial CAT paint at his work for free which is a bonusAnd here is a picture of the engine bay in all it's dirty grimy glory! Definitely not the prettiest or clean part of this car it really needs a good scrub gave it a little one today but it needs more attention.Unfortunately I'm never going to fit the inlet manifold or the duck tail spoiler to this car the starlet in recent weeks has really lost it's spark for me, i used to love it and never really minded it only being a 1.3 and slow but now in the last couple weeks I've wanted more power, so i have decided that this year i want another car something more powerful but i still love the Starlet so obvious choice would be a Glanza? I wish i had the money to afford one! Plus saving up for my own place and if i had a Glanza it would chew away at that money big time, so i was thinking along the lines of a Corolla T-sport maybe i still have to decide but i will always want to own a Glanza so i will still be on here :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich-k Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 T sports will also chew funds mate! Shame too see your selling up bud is a lovely car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cammy R Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 T sports will also chew funds mate! Shame too see your selling up bud is a lovely carThrough fuel probably but I would just modify the Glanza alot compared to a Corrolla, not selling up yet might just be in a strop with the car for a wee while who knows! Still buying things for it though haha so the love is not truly gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adzy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 A wee squirt of wd40 into the locks as soon as the cold weather starts, displaces the water and stops them freezing/seizing up, had this problem with my 306 and that cured it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cammy R Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 So on the weekend my poor wee Starlet got reversed into by the Girlfriends neighbor in his Tiguan cracking the paint in a couple places scuffing the bumper and pushing it in. on the plus side he came and told me and offered to pay for it so i have to go get an estimate for the bumper to get sprayed which is not too bad as it's damaged in other places too!Now i just need to work out how to get to work without my car or find a really cheap Glanza bumper for when it gets sprayed. Not having much luck with my paintwork at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
