Di_Bodi Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hello everyone!Let me introduce myself.I live in Ireland (Galway) and I am a very proud owner of Toyota Starlet!I owned '91 EP81 before and there was few other Toyotas as well:- '93 Jap Imp Corolla SE Ltd- Then it was '99 JDM Estima Lucida Eluceo (AWD)- Also a Landcruiser- Then, a Mazda 6 (sorry;) but ALSO a '98 EP91 Starlet which I bought initially for my wife (nice excuse isn't it? It is just a standard Irish Starlet... but how adorable!I'm a 2nd owner after some matronly lady from Galway hence 40k mileage only when bought 5 years ago with FSH and all the stamps etc (63k now...).The dilemma is:Keep it genuine 'as is' untill she becomes a youngtimer/vintage or should I go for some tunning? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Di_Bodi Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks a million everyone for such a warm welcome!I do want to keep her clean and tidy, the interior is also almost as new!But to be honest I couldn't resist and I had to go for some basic stuff already (but as starletmadyo adviced it's all easily changable):- alloys + TOYO Proxes T1R Tires- clear indicators & repeaters- Kayaba shocks- A'PEXi intake kit:The plan is:- to lower and stiffen her a little bit (ARB, strut brace, springs, spacers, lateral rod?)(I actually have purchased a TRD ARB yesterday:))) need polybushings thou'...- back box (HKS Super Drager already purchased but waiting to be fitted):- rear TTE spoiler from SR (not big Glanza type!) - also have one already waiting for red painting...Most of these are only cosmetics/optical so would be easy to remove again just in case some day someone is paying big bucks for non-modified genuine starlet....Wink)Any ideas/advice/comments - most welcome!!!Cheers!!Question for admin (I'm kinda new to this...) - should I move this thread at this stage if I want to post more info about further progress or should I start a fresh new one in other section?Thanks!!!
