Well Folks,
Firstly this is my first ever project car so go easy on me when I am looking for answers of stupid questions . I have been wheeling an dealing in cars for ages now and have had most jap imports out there really. I have always been an AE86 head at heart so I was on the look out for a good base to start off with for a while now. Money is tight at the mo so most of the jobs I will be doing will be sponsered by the dole an what ever money I can muster up. The only real money I would be willing to spend on would be wheels for now. Will post full spec when I get time to think of everything. So here it goes..........
As I bought the car ..

Next up is an oil change (diff&engine), plugs filters etc, sort out ride height and I think I will go with 20mm spacers for now until I source my new wheels. Will keep thread up dated as I go along!
Loving it, Nice wheels at the right price are a bastard to find arent they,

I dont mind paying decent money for the right wheels but its even hard to find them when they are expensive never mind cheap haha. I am considering a set of Custom Image wheels ta fuck. They are pricey but I am only goin to be buyin them once and I want them to be the shizzle :D. Looking at 14x8-5jj -20 or so :cool::cool: Not in a mad rush so might wait an see could I get my hands on some ssr's first. I have a load of other jobs that I want to get done. I plan to leave it exactly as I want it. Manual steerin is annoyin me at the moment. i know it gets better reviews than p/s its just annoyin me at the mo but I will get used to it haha.....
Let me know what prices you get off them, Which type ya going for.
your goin in the right direction!! looks alot better fair play man .....now drop it so ya cant drive it :D

I wouldn be a fan of 13's on a cam. They are ideal for a starlet alright. Y e call down any evening. Just give me a shout. I am thinking of goin with set of ssr mesh now.
