A little while ago I wrote a post about Marcus Starlet. He has now made a lot of changes! Among other things, lowered the car, put on new wheels, put in a brace bar. Changed the intake manifold (tubular Toyota Corolla). He is kind enough to send us some pictures for us Starlets fans.
Nice to see a styled Toyota Starlet on the roads in Sweden! :-) Looks good!
Here´s what´s been done
The intake manifold is mounted
Coilovers are mounted (some adjustment remains)
Other rims, 16 "are painted and assembled
A brace back, "Brace bar". Sitting between the C pillars behind anyway, although it is varnished and mounted.
The brace bar and the wheels are in the same color, turquoise :)
Japanese shock absorberis are mounted. Rebuild from from the rear axle and the back. Original is the 1.5 " exhaust, silencer had a connection of 2.5" and 4 "exhaust.
Other plans
He´s trying to save up for a wing which costs about 2000 SEK in England.
One of his next plans are to do an air intake in the hood. He has the stuff at home, but have to buy paint and varnish before the hood is cut up. It is for the open air filter to get more direct cold air.
New brakes are to be mounted in the front, both the discs and pads are at home.
External tachometer to be assembled, waiting to get home monitor that I ordered on Ebay and sent from China.

Looks like Marcus matched the brace bar with the rims. Is he using electrica tape as the rubber? :) Low profile I must say.
Seems he found some other rims than he showed earlier. Looks nice! |

| Tubular intake manifold from a Toyota Corolla, a black one. Havent seen them before, perhaps he painted it. |

| He will install an tachometer next. This one. |

Nice work Marcus, keep us updated!
A bit late, but why didn't he order the original instrument cluster with tachometer? It's plug and play and you don't have to do all this trouble of connecting the eBay tachometer...
