Jozinobi Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Nice to see how your starlet has progressed Jag, slowly but surely Custom exhaust looks much nicer than what powerflow give you.Keep up the good work!Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 very clean man, keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Nice progress mate, totally agree with ya Joz powerflow are put on by cowboys in most places, I'm just hoping a Glanza bumper will cover it up Keep up the progress fella. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steely Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Looking good mate. I got my new wheels last week, we'll have to sort out a little mini meet soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Car looks sweet dude, liking the exhaust too.I think a Glanza passengers lense would look smart on that, but you'd lose your reverse light. Still, worth it for the looks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Looking good mate :But the Speedlines are 15" not 16" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Gota say Pipecraft were really good had it done it about hr n half was prety quick n it sounds prety awesome altho did sound loader at first when it was still running in But starting it up from cold in the morning it makes a bit of a noise as it starts running at like 2000rpm but then lowers after a lil bit of a driveBut i think if it was as loud as it started out at id have some serious issues with tinutus (sp?)Would defently recomend Pipecraft to anyone wanting a custom system (lifetime garantee on stainless n only £230 so not to expensive either Worth every penny)Looking good mate. I got my new wheels last week, we'll have to sort out a little mini meet soon.Id be up for that also u mind doing it in the day as all the photos i end up shooting all seem to be shot at like 12 or so would be nice to get some day shots Next week sum time possibly?Get sum pics up ladi!Looking good mate :But the Speedlines are 15" not 16"Sorry, typo i was bit sleepey while slapping this up Car looks sweet dude, liking the exhaust too.I think a Glanza passengers lense would look smart on that, but you'd lose your reverse light. Still, worth it for the looks! ;)Naaa think im gna go with a set of reflet lenses so can keep the reverse and the fogbut at the mo im rinsed for money so gna have to wait til i can afford to get sum need the next bit of my student loan to come thru So...The plan- Reflet lenses- Get the windows tinted proply on the back n then the back screen done to n also gna go with getting some tints on the drivers windows- Front splitter duno about the laguna one as it seems like its bin done to death a bit but might head done the breakers n see what i can turn up- Get some custom SR vinals from the sides (Blue and white ones)- Blue the dials, heard u can pic up some little rubber caps for the lights which change the colour or sumin....?- Seats.... get some nice buckets in it- Jap platesAlso quite fancy spraying some of the pannels (inside) but thats gna wait a while n maybe get some nice blue door cards or suminThen saw some nice eyelids on kevink's ride so maybe hunt some of them down 2 But thats all going to take ages at the rate im going Quote Link to post Share on other sites
