It was turning out to be a potentially expensive month for me and the Starlet. I hadn't really planned on modifying this car but after the accident and converting the rear to a Glanza one it has spurred me on the complete the rest of the conversion. Since I installed the Sparco Racing NS-II wheels it looks seriously jacked up like a 4x4, so my first port of call was a set of Pi Lowering Springs -40mm drop, these springs have always given a generous drop from what I see on the forum so I decided to try them out, they really do look good and for only £110 you can't go wrong.
Another reason for installing the springs was that 2 of my shock absorbers were leaking badly and were totally dead, I bought a full set of KYB shock absorbers all round the car to help with the new springs and the lower ride height. Whilst I was carrying out this work I also gave the car a full service and replaced the cambelt as I had no idea when it was last done.
Overall the car looks really good now from the rear end at least, I've sourced some Glanza headlights fairly cheaply and I just need to source a bonnet and scoop then it'll be nearly complete.
