It was stolen found but police didnt wait untill i got there and it was stolen again and torched. :ffs:

After 2 months with no car i found my new car a toyota starlet :D .I paid £1450 for it. I have aways liked them as they are cool little cars and very quick.the only reason i got the micra as it was given to me by my gran. I was surprised at how quick it was as a standard 1.3 but i would like it to go considerably faster. im interested in power but i dont mind the car with a bodykit.i would have got a gt turbo but being 20 that was wishful thinking. i may convert this to run with a turbo engine but for now im just tuning it naturally asperated. it does need a bit of de-grannying but i like a challenge.any comments welcome.

''de-grannying'' - great phrase.

hello. my advice would be to either colour code or remove the rubbing strips, fit clear front repeaters and fit a set of wheels no bigger than 15". a slight drop of about 30mm will sharpen things up a little.

this was what i did to my car ;)

Yup, what he said

Also think of window tints, some ICE

That looks pretty gud.what width are the wheels an what tyres do you have on them.I have managed to rescue two of the wheels from my old car they just have a bit of kerbing.i test fitted them the the other day.here are the results

The back one fits ok"ish" and on the front i think i may need a spacer kit as it doesnt go tight enough.also the tyres i have on the wheels are 45 profile.do i need 50 to put these on.they are 15 inch kei racing flight by the way.

I like the debadged look but are there any holes.i dont want to pull the Badge off an be stuck with two holes.

im glad you find my phrase amusing.

i'm running 195/50R15 tyres.

there are two holes that locate the Badge. it's not so noticable on my car cos it's a dark colour.

Im getting an alarm an immobiliser in 1 or 2 weeks.then smoothing all the locks over.ive just ordered a snap off steering wheel.so when ive sorted out all my security im getting my wheels and lowering sorted out. im also getting tints so that no one can see in or smash the windows. i have learnt the hard way that security must be done first. i just cant decide on the wheels.
