Rich-k Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hey guys my names rich I'm 23 from north wales!I live next to redz11 and dizzy from this forum fell in love with glanzas when Adam took me out in his I'm a car painter by trade so I am very OCD with body work and always try to make cars clean as possible!! Me and my dad are both very into jap cars, my dad is currently on his third r33 skyline We have a honda prelude 2.2 v-tec import restoration going on at the moment.I personally have had two Mitsubishi colts my previous one I bought for 100 quid and saved it from the scrapper! Did all the work my self and I was so chuffed with it, spent some time and money buying almost all genuine or jdm modifications for it I'm on my mrs iPad at the mo so can't share any pics!!! I have been searching high and low n find it so hard to find a fairly local ep91 seem to be having no luck!! All either auto or 5door so thought I'd sign up to gain more knowledge n hopefully find a car cheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

redz11 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 welcome bud ;D Will be good to have another starlet bro up our end! dont let it being auto put you off, the conversion to manual isnt too hard.. just sourcing a decent manual box for cheap + the pedal and cables ofc, Ill have to take you for a spin in my GT always loved that skyline!

JamesD89 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Welcome As Lee said above don't be put off by being automatic you may find a lower mileage and better condition Starlet due to being auto. With a strong UK and Ireland fan base parts for the conversion are readily available. Enjoy your stayJames Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I told you this about an auto ;) Can do it in a day buddy if we had everything ready, if your going to save cash buyin an auto do a manual conversion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
