[Kazuo]

Ooo... EP82 doors ah?

 

wah... everything upgrade liao...

[Wayhow]

i know which starlet to give way to next time

 

care to give a ballpark of how much it costs to do up everything?

[Starletgt]

Nope its EP80 doors with original power windows.

[Starletgt]

Dun need to give way lah... only outlook only mah... Well Spend almost 10K inclusive of custom rims.

[Kazuo]

Haa... what to block him also cannot la... can only smell smoke.

[Starletgt]

Won't lah... my car too slow too serious.... really... only go for outlook niah...

[Wayhow]

haha if you say so... FYI i was at the workshop last sat... saw your barebones starlet cos the doors and hood all sent for spray, and the engine bay was exposed

 

wad was that you say? slow ah?

 

anyway the rear wheels on my starlet finally dun rub the body anymore... that day went and change to koni rear shock absorbers... was pretty happy, till i rub my front wheel on a fast corner hais... dun tell me the front shocks also need to change... but when driving normally everything is sabre and ah chuan all very friendly...

 

spent more than 1k within one month on this 20 year old car liao really pray nothing bad happens to it...

[Steam]

I was there too...but didn't see you...

[Starletgt]

Slow lah..... really.... trust me 3e can win me anytime....

[Wayhow]

hmm i was there first thing at 9.30... then was back again to collect my car at 2+, when it was raining heavily...

 

i never see any other starlet there leh?

 

wad time did you go bro?

[Satinepink]

There will come a point in time when the ride needs almost no serious $$$ damage except for your servicing and little $$ maintainance. Depends on how well the car is taken care of lah..mine wasn't by the previous owner hence spent 2 slow years slowly fixing what was broke. I reckon most bros here have also gone through what you are going through in some point of time. Hang in there man , you have as for company.

[Wayhow]

a time where there's no serious $$$ damage except for servicing and maintenance? yah... went thru that time liao my dad drove it for 10 years not much problems... now pass to me... all the wear and tear come out again

 

but you are right about the having you guys for company part... everybody here is so helpful... only met robin, uzi, and roy till now, but they're all very helpful too... really gives me the confidence to extend COE with a 20 year old car =)

[Uzi68]

If you notice on the road, there are only a handful of models of cars people will renew COE considering the wide range of brands and model we have. Starlets are one of the few. have you wonder why?

actually me and my new colleague did a small survey today on the road also,

since 8am - 5.45pm

our route from senoko -> SLE -> BKE -> KJE -> Tuas/Jookoon/International Road/Jurong West -> e'way back to senko

We saw about:

15 starlets

9 WRX

6 Civic EG 4 drs

5 Civic EG 2 drs

3 Intergra DC5

1 Civic Type R EP3

1 Evo 8

1 Charade 5 drs hatch

 

can do a slight comparision that really much more starlets are appearing out on the roads.. or maybe just my eyes are playin tricks on me everyday..

[Wayhow]

i got the answer after sitting in your car

[Starletgt]

Is true, the number of startlet apprearing on daily road is scary. As we all know spare parts easy to get, cheap to maintain and road tax also cheap considering a 1l car.

Starlet is really a car which you will deeply fall in love with.

[Uzi68]

hehe. so hows your F/C now? getter better?
