Rory's Starlet SR

Bought this the other day from Basingstoke. Everything's completely standard. A little bit of work to do on it though. The Washer motors aren't working for the back or front, Has that horrible squeeling sound during some gear-change (which i think is most likely to do with the bering, The graphics are really faded (which i hope to get replaced somehow) and it has 2 small chips in the windscreen. Luckily my uncle owns a garage so i won't have to pay for the labour on any work done. I plan on getting a new exhaust for it first, maybe lower it a little and possibly tint the windows to begin with. I'm completely new to this so any advice/tips would be great. I'm not what exhaust to get, i don't want anything ridiculously noisy, i just want it to sound nice. The interior is in such good comdition although it has a few marks around the door frame that will come off. I'm pretty happy with it and am going to enjoy working on it.

still trying to add pictures

just recieved an email from toyota in rotherham ref replacment decals for the sr, they cost 56.99 inc vat. in case anyone wanted to know. I'm not sure if i'm going to buy any yet as 56.99 is pretty steep.

nice little car there mate the price for the graphics is steep but they are the genuine item so never gonna be cheap but will be much better than replicas

looks a tidy little starlet mate, you got any plans for modding it?

Jim

The car is in my uncle's garage at the moment having 2 new washer motors, getting the squeeking looked at and having some of the electics sorted.

I've found two small chips in the windsceen at the bottom of the passenger side so need to get that sorted soon.

I've ordered new graphics from Toyota GB, Which are costing me £56.99!

I do plan on modding it a little. I want to put a new exhaust on or backbox at least, Tint the rear window and back seat windows, possibly put a scoop in the bonnett or just get a glanza one Maybe even get a whole kit for it. I'd like to lower it a litte too maybe 40mm. I'm not to sure about the engine as i'm new to all this but i've been suggested to get garrett turbo and a new intercooler, but if i do that i may as well just buy a GT Turbo engine.

It's very early days yet and progress might be slow but i'll keep it updated.

Any advice you guys can give will be greatly apprieciated

if you want to put a glanza bonnet on it you have to fit the glanza head lights and glanza front bumper orit will not fit.

Jim

ah right, i'll keep that in mind. I don't really want it to look like a glanza too much, i like the SR look. hmm decisions decisions

thanks jim
