Hi,

After owning skylines for the last 6 or 7 years, i decided that i need a break from the skyline scence so i went out and look for something small, less power, compact but still fun.

At first, i was looking at all the EG CIVICs, SUZUKI CAPPUCINO..........but it was love at first sight, i saw a white Starlet 1.3lt Turbo intercool for sale by one of the SAU VIC member and i was like that it, i have to have it. Two days later and its mine :thanks: , been doing lots of research to see what i can do to it..............................................................................

.and i came across a GLANZA :D:):worship: , i never knew a newer version of the STARLET EXIST! I so want one but none is available in Australia, why?

Toyota never bring it to our shore so why none of the importer try to bring it in? I reckon it's a hit on the Market for small cars, it will turn all this potential Honda buyer around, it will be a CHICK MAGNET. Anyway, here is a few pics of what they look like, enjoy :).

Im with you West :thanks:

The first car I bought new was an Aussie delivered white starlet and I desperately wanted a Glanza.

I looked at a few at the auctions when i was in Japan and decided if I ever saw one crop up in Australia I would try and snap it up.

Very cool little car

I don't think that they are that new, I was in Europe in 2003, and there was a fair few of them on the streets, kitted up with neons and the whole fast and the furious style which was big at the time, the look and sound pretty awesome for a starlet!

No, they are not that new but we dont' get them here that's the thing.

I was just wondering why IMPORTERS won't try to bring them in when they could have a big potential sale.

because its not on the SEVS list... and the reason for that is possibly that the EP91 was sold locally in a not so cool version. If the chassis (with the same silhouette) is sold locally then it can't be imported under SEVS.

you could possibly buy a locally sold EP91 and do a conversion using the parts etc.

i wish the genuine altezza could be imported under sevs- the rs200 version with the 3sge beams !!!

no wai... then I couldn't give all the yuppies shit for driving a corolla with leather seats with a lexus badge :)

I'd personally go the turbo Altezza myself, or even better a JZS161 Aristo with a Supra 3.0L Turbo 2JZ.

hehe as keen as kristian is on applying for new SEVS cars, i doubt there's any way he nor anyone else can make the EP91 appear on the SEVS list unless it came in a cabriolet form or some freaky shit like that.

just buy a 4EFTE and jam it in a locally sold EP91 starlet n call it a day.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
