Yorke Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ok, so I'm not really new, although I don't use the forum, but many of you already know me. Been to the last 3 (ish) JAE with UKSO, been on stand at the last 2 Japfest2's all in different cars. Current car, which was at the 2013 JAE and 2014 JAE for 2 hours on Sunday, was my manual single turbo Soarer, which is soon to be mapped and sold. So I've been on the scene for a while, but finally decided to buy myself an EP82, I needed a car that was cheap to run, tax, maintain and repair. Most importantly, it needed to retain a fun factor, whilst still looking like a normal car and not too 'in your face'. I don't have massive plans to go big like the soarer, would like to keep it simple, clean-ish (paint is pretty bad up close), and reliable It already has some mods, some of them tasteful, some of them not.

Most of the parts are already ordered, engine and box should be coming out this weekend and hopefully going back in next weekend! Shorter the work takes until the car is finished, the happier I'll be. I already pulled some of the crap out whilst cleaning the inside of the car, including china boost gauge. Also I would rather have no seats in the rear than unsafe seats, hence why they got pulled out straight away. I might update this like once a year, so don't moan at me!

aaddzz123 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 She'll be a good car with some tlc mate ! Will be a shame to see the soarer go, but the bigger the car the bigger the price tags n all that. Although with some of the prices people charge on here you might be better off with the soarer haha ;). (Joke before any select individuals start an argument lol).Look forward to getting the heart out at the weekend mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yorke Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Day 2 in the big brother houseSo my parts pile for the starlet is growing.Also my stock of parts storage is getting out of hand.As for where I stand with the mis-advertisement, I'm not too sure, because the guy I bought it off only had it for a week, the guy he bought it off was the person who listed all the parts not fitted, name and shame might come soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yorke Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Day three in the big brother house gearbox (that was supposed to have been rebuilt 7000 miles ago) was filthy, so i got carried away with cleaning it also pulled the turbo side off and found a nice big crack, so got the welder out and filled it up. not the neatest of welds, but its not the neatest manifold. will be having a few days break now while I'm on a course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yorke Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) As for the name and shame... i'll just put it out there that if this is a user on here, i really dont care if i upset them. mis-selling a car that blatantly doesnt have the majority of modified parts fitted is not ok in my book, i can accept the bodges, the oil leaks, the unsafe rear seats, and can even accept the bent mot. i wouldnt have minded if it was just 1 or 2 parts that were lied about, but when its almost the whole spec list, its a bit different. He obviously knows enough about starlets to know that listing a lot of these parts would be hard for most people to spot that they were not fitted, seems like he probably breaks starlets from his ebay itmes too. seller user name on ebay is: ep91shak249 from Rhyl, North Walesitem number was: 281549239654and link to original listing: Linkand for when ebay delete the listing, here is the write up:For sale is an clean Toyota Starlet Gt turbo , 1995 quadlamp model , finished in metallic black paintwork , looks and drives very well , without any issues.Engine runs fine and pulls well in all gears , running safe 1 bar boost , no knocking noise or oil leaks , gearbox was re build using uprated diff , fitted with 6 puk clutch kit and short shiffter , very smooth tight gear changes.

aaddzz123 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That ad is full of so much shit it's unreal!! Sounds like a really well looked after car with some nice parts. It doesn't have 90% of that stuff. Fucking dick. Does anyone know if he's a member? (Forum member, not member as in DICK) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yorke Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Even the write up about the body work is bollocks, it's not clean, it's had rust repaired on one rear arch, it's got scuffs down both sides of the front bumper, the roof has been painted and masked badly it's got dents on the OSF wing (and probably other places, but I havnt washed it yet) it's had a sticker on the boot removed with a chisel, the bonnet has stone chips from top to bottom, and some strange lacquer problems.If the paint is shit, just say 'age related marks to the paint' it's 20 years old for fucks sake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
