MaxGT Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi everyone, I've been on the forum about a week now, and have managed to get a starlet in that time... I work fast I know.. Just got her home today and have bought the bits I need to make it standard so I can insure it. (Still on the hunt for an airbox if you have one mail me) Went from Newbury to Devon today and picked this little gem up! Enough talking, picture time. Can't wait to get her back to standard, insured, and driving Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MaxGT Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks guys. Found an Airbox and everything I need is either in the post or I've arranged collection for it.Won't be long. Aiming to get it ready for RWYB at Santa pod on May 3rd - always loved taking the micra there, thought I'd give it a go in a car with some go!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
00joeindastarb0 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks really smart, I was tempted to go view this wish I did now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxGT Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Looks really smart, I was tempted to go view this wish I did now As soon as I saw it I jumped on it, I knew it wouldn't hang around long at the price it was at. I got it a little cheaper than that too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 good to see you got the car mate. sure selling some of the mods as you put it back to stock will result in it being an absolute steal! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Max all you have to do is sell all the micras now ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MaxGT Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Fuel cut defender? And the cars staying stock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxGT Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cars going into the garage wednesday to have the suspension changed back to stock. Should be insured by the end of the day!Literally buzzing. Sadly looks like rain Sunday. We'll still do something special with I'll have been with my girlfriend a year on saturday. She has no idea the car will be ready by then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaxGT Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Got the car back friday night, and have been driving it nearly non stop since! What a beast, I love it.Evidently some things that need addressing.Tires are a little dodgy, spinning in the wet quite easily.Brakes nearly non existent, worse than my old Peugeot 205?! Worth rebuilding or just checking disks and pads first?Passenger side seatbelt a little looseNo stereo, am I right in saying it's a double din size? But what a car! Already had some positive attention while driving it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BurtEP82 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Glad to hear you are on the road! May seem a little boring at first, putting it back to standard but fair play to ya. This could be a museum piece one day. Keep it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Looks good! I deobe my starlet non stop for ages when I first got it haha! AD08's seem to be a good choice of tyres, or uniroyal rainsport 3 are good tyre choices, just don't go for toyo t1r's, ive got them on at the minute and the grip in the wet is no existent, it makes for interesting driving haha.

Lukee Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 could just be the extra power just be a little more carfeul, mine can spin right into 4th/5th in the wet lol (crap tryes also ) , if you have to change the breaks id grab some drilled and grooved discs with some yellow stuff pads, breaks feel real nice then! also good for when you go more power ( i say when because i can guarentee you will ;) ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
