Welcome to the channel, my name is Matteo (I also have a real name but I can't pronounce it). The adventure begins in the land of Canberra, some say it's the best country in the world.
Everything started with a 3rd-hand Toyota Sarlet EE91 with cracked windows and oxidised paint Weird sense of humor: ✅
Several install videos will be recorded at night (because work), hence why the name "Starlet Nights".
But I'll also record videos on weekends, events, and whatever comes to mind, car-related... hopefully I'll get better at this, please bear with me :P
Come along on this Starry journey, subscribe to the channel, and watch me make countless mistakes!
great content. i ordered one exactly like yours. quick question, how did you remove the handbrake cover? i unscrewed mine but seems like it was stuck with something in the back. any tips?
@@neverendingblissxx yes the cover is hard to remove, i actually left mine on because at least it didn't slip, but you should be easily able to remove the trim while it's still on!
@@starletnights1 i need to remove the cover coz i bought a ashtray with a cup holder from Japan, which is hard to find. Let's see, will give it a try again.
Saw the traffic lights thumbnail and was “hang on, I think I DO know that place!” Clicked on it and Bingo! 10km from where family lives. Went there first time about 3mths ago too. I’m certain I saw your car. A very distinctive blue number 39 and a Renault fan (grew up Belgium with 205s and Clios), but it wasn’t very hot day…..have you been other times more recently? Anyway was just spectating. There was a monster Audi that got best time in all sessions as far as I can remember. FYI all: it’s much steeper up AND down than GoPro’s make it look and occasionally they’ll make it a two-lap timed event.
@@mbbb9244 nice, thanks mate! Yes I raced here quite a few times, there used to be more Renaults here but they all disappeared this year. I think you're referring to the red RS4?Unfortunately last i missed the two lapper as it filled too quickly 🥺
Mate love the videos, Love it when I find some local videographers. You should invest in a small clip on mic and wind filter, even if this is a hobby, I guarantee you will see a difference. Other than that, yiu know your stuff keep it up 🎉
Floor mats to protect the original floor mats! This reminds me of my grandmother leaving the foil on the TV screen and remote to ensure it stays perfect :D
Where did you get your air filter? I am in USA so it is hard to get Toyota Dealership to assist ordering OEM parts after providing part numbers. Thanks 😅
I was planning to make a video on gauges install but things got sideways. Basically you need an oil filter relocator to be able to add a sandwich plate for the gauges' sensor as there won't be enough clearance otherwise.
@@starletnights1 there are only really styling differences between a Robin and a Rialto, all of the mechanicals are basically the same. To be honest I am always impressed if anyone in Australia knows about them at all! Top Gear made them a bit more famous with their hilarious skit, but I have to remind everyone that they modified it to make it tip over all the time, they're actually surprisingly stable. You'll have to come for a ride sometime
@@starletnights1 yeah, top gear changed wheel sizes, locked the diff, added weight in the roof etc to make their Reliant fall over very easily. Poor little car. It was a funny skit though! Another fun fact; When Clarkson, Hammond and May left Top Gear they bought Reliant Robins as their new company's cars
Hey, would you happen to know the length and size of the bolts you used for the silentblocs supports? I just bought a whiteline front sway bar too but it misses all the things you listed as expected. Thanks for your answer 🙏
Beautiful car, I’m thinking of buying body kits for it, but it is extremely hard to find any for it. Can you recommend a few websites where I can buy mods or other things for it?
Honest enthusiast groups is where i have got all the parts or connections to get parts. Yahoo auctions is definitely a good source of parts too, body kits are very hard to find so that's why I fabricated my splitter.
The advantage of an older car is that you can spend the money slowly. Not everyone has the money to buy a nwere car. Also, insurance is cheaper on an older car. Best of all, the feeling when you do track an older car and you beat newer cars like 350Z, a WRX etc.
Hey mate I had 235 on a 8.5x17 rim and it was about square, I think 235 on 8 will trapeze a bit. Probably get more response and footprint if you can lower the pressure a bit further rather than going 235
Per la micra io ho optato per un lip in gomma, marca "Samurai". ho dovuto fare dei tagli a triangolo sul lato superiore per fargli fare le curve sui lati (il profilo è a L rovesciata) e ne sono molto soddisfatto. Oltre al biadesivo in dotazione ho messo anche parecchie viti autofilettanti, e per finire il tutto, previa mascheratura, frontalmente ho passato del silicone nero tra lip e paraurti.
Wow. I've heard that this Toyota was made for the Japanese market only. Was it exported to Australia? (I live in a country with right hand drive vehicles)
Yep it was imported from Japan as it belongs to a specialist vehicle list. I am also in AU and Centuries are becoming more and more popular among JDM enthusiasts 🙂
