Toyota Starlet GT Turbo EP82
Looks cool buddy, saw it on Friday!
Oh and well done for getting me on the forum, Pat would be proud
It's a bit of a shed in all fairness, but epic fun!
I have managed to change the dash bulbs now, it is great to see how fast I am going in the dark
Also removed the wind deflectors as there were split, cracked, chunks missing etc...
Gave it a first proper clean and it came up ok:
Just a shame about the missing paint and scuffs up close. Bit of character for its age I guess
I have been off the radar a bit... I was wanting to touch a few bits up on the car, so with the nice weather, the opportunity became available!
Rattle canned the wheels:
From this:
To this:
Whilst I was doing the wheels, I decided to do the wiper arms as they were a mess!
Before:
After:
So all in all, a couple of cheap touch ups that have made a big difference!
Good times!
Lovely little car i really love the engines in these things so versatile, potentially good for turning any small light waeight car into a relatively fun little sleeper, and considering the size of turbo's put onto these things when upgraded look to be seriously bullit proof, planning on using one of these engines in an engine swap project soon still not decided on the donor car though its either gonna be a little nissan Micra K11 or an old opel Tigra...
Any way keep up the good work, P.s if you planning on doing an engine swapp let me know i'm currently in the market for a full engine-gearbox-loom-ecu kit from one of these
Yeh, so far I have no complaints about the engine, running some good mods too and seems to handle it no problem. (Touch wood).
It is a sleeper that's for sure, surprises a lot of people! Power to weight is awesome!
I have known a couple of people who have put the SR20DE into a K11, and the SR20DET... Seeing a boosted Micra is quite amusing!
