Phil Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi good to see the a clean looking ep70. massive no from me for the rota slipstreams. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblue67 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Yeah I agree Phil I'm not a huge fan of them the only attractive thing was the price really £200 with decent tyres and I've seen sets of these that are mangled going for more than that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Welcome to the club. Nice car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblue67 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks. Yeah it was the only rust 'free' starlet I could find in Ireland, I'll put up a progress blog once I have the car but don't expect anything special, I'd love to drop a 1.3 turbo engine in it but I turn 17 next year and I need to pay for insurance so the 1.0l carbed engine will have to do.

Dale SR Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 welcome along mate, such a clean starlet you have found. i really like the color. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblue67 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks. Does anyone know what some of the best engine mods are for the 1.0l carbed engines to get a bit more power out of them? 2e head? Lastly where is the best place to get parts for these im looking for some suspension parts (lowering springs or coilovers, poly bushes etc) all advice is greatly appreciated thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aidanep71 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Clean looking car there.. I had 1 same colour and same wheels looked cool I thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblue67 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah in my opinion I think they're a bit big on the starlet and I don't think they're good for the look I'm going for. Looks good though. The owner offered me a 5spd box does anyone know if they're just a straight swap into the 1E? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 If it's from a starlet it's a straight swap probably not better off getting a 2e too while your at it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblue67 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Okay thanks I'll ask him. I really appreciate the advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
