Amjad Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Nice! I'm surprised the handling setup is quite simple here, top mounts look interesting though not seen that on a Starlet before Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised the handling setup is quite simple here, top mounts look interesting though not seen that on a Starlet beforeCheers buddy Handling setup is simple but the 4 wheel alinement and corner weight is very well done. I have seen it before by who done it on another starlet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or have they literally just drilled 4 new holes and remounted the top mount?Adam I will be finding out more info but i have been told the bcs have had some custom springs fitted to them part from that im not sure. The owner said to me the top mount modification has to be done spot on so its can be set up 100% but when this mod was done the differance what it made was noticable straight away.

daniel_g Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 You say it runs a WEPR VF kit? Which kind of VF tubro does it have on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 In what way would you say it feels different to the Glanza? Would be interesting if anyone was able to come up with a way for others to do this caster mod Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abbott Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) So what have you noticed handling wise so far bro?Be interesting to see the whole shock side on with wheel off.More castor the better man..Keep it up.Mate i have not got to drive it much due to its not road car as no tax or mot etc only taken it out a couple of times when its quite. But steering feels so postive and really seems to dig in on bends and corners. Also running out of racefuel so no more driving. Will get some pictures for you. This project is not going to be around that long as the motec is coming off and going on mine. So think i am going to break this as im to in to the glanza still and still gor lots planned Edited November 19, 2015 by abbott Quote Link to post Share on other sites
