    New member :advice please

    Hi,
    Joined up on this forum due to a friend wanting to start modding her car..
    I own a starlet gt and have spent thousands on mods and many long hours fixing and replacing things on it, i do know a fair bit about starlets but thats as far as it goes!

    Going too start on the basics firstly such as:

    Hids
    Induction kit
    exhaust system
    new wheels
    Lowering springs (dont see much point in going for coilovers as she wont be racing at all...just wants to look nice)

    But what sort of brands should i be going for? i.e. k&n air filter?

    Also what more mods can i do to the puntos?

    Cheers,
    Sam.

    Its an active 8v..think its 2004

    Will let her know about blue water (would you of still offered if I said my mate wants to start modding 'HIS' car) ??

    Jham - had 2 GT's so far, a black quad light running approx 230hp, forged, td04, emu etc..
    Then brought another blue 1 as it was cheap..started stripping the forged one then the piston rings went on blue one so rebuilt all that and now running 189.9hp at 1bar on ct9

    Soon as I saw you replied I knew u sounded familiar from the forums!

    Sooo what's made to move onto a punto and sell ur starbo?

    yea im sure ive seen your name on uksc to! well for the pice i got for the starlet i was able to buy a daily runner and still get my boost fix with the punto gt. the more i was doing to the starlet it was getting unbearable to live with day to day
    To be honest ive been tempted to go back i realy wish i held on to my GT cant find another one with same mileage/condition, ah well you live n learn lol!
