JLF88 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Well, after nearly a year out I'm back in the starlet scene. Unfortunately my last attempt ended up in the infamous starlet graveyard.Inbetween I fancied a break and got a celica gt as a knock around.But eventually got bored of it and fancied something with a bit more poke. And of course something to mess on with and waste vast amounts of money on.So at the same point I was getting rid of the celica I found two starlets to choose between. One being a five door gsi, and the other a three door shed.And as anyone else would, I bought the shed :-) but the prospects for it were greater than the gsi.So here it is, 'project shed' Edited June 26, 2015 by JLF88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) So, being on a budget that week from spending the 'moving house fund', all I've managed to do are theseGlanza spoiler and painted the steelies.But don't worry, just spent lots this morning on 10+ items, so next weeks update will hopefully show a good change. But it's mainly engine mods.Fingers crossed this one works out. Edited June 26, 2015 by JLF88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JLF88 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Well I have fitted wind deflectors, new indicator and tubular intake.Have spray paint to sort bodywork out, yellow injectors to try, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, 4a throttle body, rear wiper delete, and a few small bits to do.Just waiting on tein springs and glanza shocks, and new spark plugs.And getting some original toyotas alloys today. Updates with pictures coming soon.Also have a blitz nur spec back box, not sure if fitting it yet Edited July 10, 2015 by JLF88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well the wheels are on, gsi cluster, oem mudflaps, and clear corners, what a waste of money it was buying that new one. Had a hks mushroom filter but changed it back to the box as lost low end power, and one shock, needing to cut the others off before fitting new ones, manifold is off ready for new one tomorrow, and hopefully gasket for throttle body so can do that and injectors. Plastic strips are off, without snapping any, and rear wiper removed.I will remember to take pics tomorrow, I promise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Westley Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 What's is the sticker on the mirror? I keep seeing a few cars driving round with them xD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Something a bit different. Only seen one like that so far, was on a glanza in Japan I believe, got the stickers from china.Got the 4-2-1 manifold on eventually, been a harder job than thought. Blowing slightly from the manifold though so waiting for it to cool down then I'll sand it and bolt it back up. Fingers crossed or it'll be off the road till it's sorted :-( Edited July 30, 2015 by JLF88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JLF88 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 Well, half a year down the line things went a bit sideways, had to strip and get rid of the old girl, project shed had a lot done to her, but money and loss of my licence forced to her demise, but many people got her organs at good prices (especially looking at today's costs 😱) but, after 5 years of no starlet in my life, and happy riding around on a Honda from, I saw an offer I just couldn't stay away from, and a beautiful base to try and replicate and improve with where project shed was going, the desire to drive near 100hp out of the amazing 4efe she hides, but this time I found a GLS, 5 door so can strap roof bars of her for camping, but oh how I missed driving a starlet, so bye went the grom, and here she is.
