tkdellis Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Right I thought I'll start one of these as I've had the car a year so here goes After selling my Glanza back in 2012 to Josh@tunerlifestyle, one year later I decided to buy another starlet but a gt turbo as when I had the Glanza I always wished I bought one. So this one popped up but the only problem was that's it was in Insch in Scotland but as I fell in love with it this was the one for me so I got a train to Glasgow and spent a night up there and then the following 2 trains the next day to get the car, then the lovely 9 1/2 hour drive back home which wasn't that bad as I was loving driving a starlet again. This is what the car looked like when I first got it The first jobs I got round to doing was removing the petrol tank and underselling the hole car and changing the front bumper to a livesports Once the front bumper was done I set about cleaning the engine bay up and changing the turbo kitWhile I was doing that I managed to get my hands on a cusco roll-cage for it as well so painted that green and stuck it in Then the other month bought some rota slipstreams as i weren't that keen on the sub-zeros that were on it and cleaned up my front headlights and painted the inside black for something different So the spec of the car today it Rota slipstreams 7j et28 ISC CoiloversWhiteline Adjustable rear anti roll barAdjustable panhard rodOEM 3 point rear strut BraceOem Front strut braceEBC grooved discsFerodo ds2500 padsCusco BMCSDot5.1 fluidCusco roll cagePower flex engine mounts AP Engineering Apexi Power FC3 bar Apexi MAP SensorBlitz DSBC-R Boost ControllerProSport Stepper Motor Gauges, Oil Temp,Oil Pressure and WaterWepr top mount drag style manifold Trial 38m wast gate td04 turbo with braided oil line, No water lines330cc Speedvision InjectorsSARD FPRHks super silent exhaust with middle silencer Front Mount IntercoolerLow Temp ThermostatCivi radTD Catch CanCAP ClutchCCM Short ShifterCars running 244bhp @ just under a bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
