ashley newbert Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 so i bought my starlet about 4 months ago and as soon as i bought it the mods started, not big ones but it started immediately firstly the cone filter and a full Blitz exhaust system.the exhaust has probably made me lose power as its about 2.5 - 3 inch wide love the sound of her tho she makes me happy ;) then after these little mods i decided to purchase some 40mm lowering springs which ended up being a little surprise from the gf!!! she understands!!!! i was told to fit 1.6 corolla intake mani and injectors, i didnt gain too much but any gain is a win!! will be uploading some pics soon i hope you guys like what i have in plan for her all feed back welcome!!
