Black SR

[Pikey009]

I can't see any reason why not but can't be 100% sure

[Walker96]

I know the rack is different for power steering lol

[Pikey009]

I can't imagine the wheel fitting will be different surely

[Pikey009]

Got the new drivers seat frame welded and fitted today, got to say that the lower position is amazing! I can now actually fit inside the car and driving position is loads better. Next up, big brake kit....

[Pikey009]

No big updates this weekend as I was with family but my ashtray for the cupholders arrived... Came with a lovely free gift! I can't actually believe it was sent like this. Going to take quite a bit of cleaning I think.

And also finally got hold of a working clock- it's been bugging me for ages so really happy it's sorted. Had to use my original plastic surround though as the 'new' one looked like the guy had removed it with his teeth. Was only £6 though.

[Pikey009]

Fitted the cup holders tonight while spraying the seat frames up. Also fitted a new rear number plate so decided to clean the boot while I was at it and this turned into a full on clean and polish as usual

[Whitenoize]

Maybe you could try fixing my tank sometime when you get a min 😂

Maybe you could try not breaking one for a change

[Pikey009]

Few updates- got hold of the centre tray carpet

[Pikey009]

And the levin twin pots along with braided lines. Some will call it over kill but I call it being able to stop. They need a clean up but are pretty good. Was wondering what colour to do them- black to be stealthy or silver?

[Pikey009]

And the whiteline rear anti roll bar. I'll probably re paint it black but other than the blue it's brand new. That's my spending done for a while now though as I'm now officially skint and want to save for the paint work next.

Can't believe someone sent you that ashtry full of fags! Where did you get it from?

[Pikey009]

An eBay breaker mate- total fucking joke but laughed that hard when I saw it because it's a disgrace! Looked like they'd removed it with a hammer too!

[morgey]

That ashtray is jokes!

Id go with silver looks fairly factory

These will probably be bigger than your setup though.

[Pikey009]

Is that on the starlet Morgey? I like the idea of being able to see them and unless you're properly looking I don't think you'd notice what they are so ill go silver I think

[Rich-k]

Great brakes dude!! Would love these for mine that ash tray is rank

[Pikey009]

I've got pretty angry in the past about recieving shite things like that but getting angry isn't healthy lol. it was that bad i just laughed my head off that they'd actually send it like that. Gave them crap feedback and didn't even email them though as they should know why.

Cheers mate hopefully they fit without any issues and stop nicely

Thats on my corolla, thats using celica carriers to make them 275mm think yours will be about 260mm if its just using the levin carriers. Will still be plenty for the starlet though these are great on that and its a heavier car

[Pikey009]

Ha the Corolla is getting some love! I've heard nothing but great things about them. Did you have to use locating rings for the disks? And did you get your kit from Russ?

[morgey]

Did that some time last year, the old brakes were literally falling apart lol.

Luckily the levin discs bolt straight up on the corolla so no spacers or spigots needed, but if you wanted the same you could use celica st202 cariers with astra discs skimmed to 275mm with a spoigot ring to locate the disc and away you went.

I had these laying around from when i binned my trueno just needed the carriers which i got for £20 from a scrappy.

[Pikey009]

It might be something I look at upgrading to in the future but for now I'll see how I get on with these. Who did you get to skim your disks? I've got the spigots ask spacers so fingers crossed it all mounts up

[morgey]

I didnt need to, levin discs are 275mm but if it came to it i could do it at work.

Yeah you should get on fine with them, they'll be more than adequate for a starlet

[Carmental16]

Just been reading this thread from page 1, firstly I have to say wow, your attention to detail is awesome and much like myself, I too have a starlet SR with loads of the same spec, will get some pictures up for you at some stage, but I will have to pick your brains where you get some the parts from, I know where you can get the usual bits from ID Workz and such but there is certain things that I just cannot get my head round how you found.

My SR's spec is as follows:

- All TTE extras such as remus back box, spoiler etc.

- Apex lowering springs 35mm

- ST205 callipers with drilled and grooved disks.

- Glanza Turbo Interior.

- 5x Speedline alloys in black.

- Glanza Strut Brace

- Corolla Intake Manifold

- K&N Panel Filter

- Tints on all rear windows.

- HID Conversion.

- Unfortunately high mileage at 130,000 but she is still going strong and pulls hard.

I will have to put up a thread with mine in all it's glory, but I just wanted to post on here and say that you have an amazing example mate and will have to get the opportunity to see it at some stage down the line

P.S. very jealous of those fog lights....

[Pikey009]

Cheers Morgey I hope so too as my brakes are non existent at the moment!

Carmenfal: thanks for the awesome comments mate. Which bits do you mean with regards to them being hard to come by? Yeh defo get a thread up mate i love SR's through and through. I can't explain why though and I probably look daft in mine but I don't care ha ha. Mileage isn't everything mate and if the car is in good condition it really doesn't matter I don't think. I didn't like the dogs at first but they've really grown on me.

Just fitted the k&n panel filter tonight but haven't had a chance to drive the car since as I've re carpet cleaned the seats and floor carpet after all the work on the seat frames so it's drying at work over night. It's a shame you can't tell the seats have been modified because so much time and effort went into them.

[Pikey009]

After seeing motions red needles on his build thread i quite like them in red so decided to do mine. If you've never removed the needles then using a teaspoon each side to leaver them off works quite well I then used wet and dry to get rid of the orange paint, masked up the needle and carefully repainted them red. I used the Mazda paint as pictured- took a bit of a punt at the colour but it's perfect. Will get them fitted tomorrow when they're dry
