Hi, I am moving house very soon and can't really warrant having two cars:( I love the Supra too much so the Starlet has drawn the short straw!

 

I have just fitted brand new yokohama tyres all round on new polised MR2 Roadster alloys. It has been fitted with Recaro leather seats front and back and a MOMO TRD Steering wheel. I have also got a set of genuine TRD lowering springs for it, Genuine TRD oil cap and a pair of mint doors with black/grey door cards and electric windows/central locking. the car has long tax on it, but the MOT is due in January. It has Air Con and Climate control, power steering, electric mirrors, glowing rear 'GT' badge (rare) factory fitted bodykit etc etc.

 

VERY FAST AND GOOD ON FUEL TOO!!!:D

 

SEE PICS AND FULL SPEC BELOW!

Why the miserable girl in the pics? If you're going to chose a model at least find one that's not going to grimace in every photo.

 

That miserable girl in the photo's is indeed my GF, and she always looks like that even when shes happy - i thought about using a pic of your missus but I dont want to scare people off.......

I have now got the Starlet MOT'd for 12 months and there is still 6months tax remaining. I have fitted the TRD lowering springs and TRD oil cap. It has had new rear top strut mounts and a new O/S/F headlamp (all brand new Genuine Toyota parts).

FOR SALE! TOYOTA STARLET GT TURBO (EP82)1990/G.

 

It is an early EP82 model from 1990/1991 finished in Toyota Super White II with a black FULL LEATHER RECARO interior!!. This model is fitted with the 4EFTE 1332cc DOHC 16valve twin-mode Turbo engine and Automatic transmission with overdrive and shift lock.

 

The engine, transmission, brakes and suspension are all in excellent condition and all work as they should. The temperature remains constant even in heavy traffic. It has covered 165000 km which is roughly 102000 miles. I have fitted a brand new GENUINE TOYOTA oil pump less than 1000miles ago and also changed the cambelt (again GENUINE TOYOTA) and serviced her. I have a large file with paperwork/receipts for work done to the car.

 

The interior is in excellent condition and a real one-off for a Starlet!! It is fitted with GENUINE TOYOTA RECARO seats re-trimmed with leather from a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth so it looks factory fitted!! This cost over £1000 (and i had to buy two sierra cosworth Recaro interiors and find a pair of starlet Recaro's). I have also fitted a TRD MOMO black and red Leather steering wheel and a top of the range KENWOOD MASK remote control CD player (with Kenwood 6x9 speakers in the parcel shelf)It also has an immobiliser fitted for insurance purposes, although I have misplaced the certificate.

 

This Starlet is fitted with Air-Conditioning and Climate Control, which both work correctly although I have not used the air-con for a while due to the poor weather!. The body work is in good condition for the cars age, with no majors knocks or dents. The underside is a good as the day it left the Toyota factory having never been welded and showing no signs of surface corrosion! The paintwork is a little bit patchy in places (both bumpers and the N/S/F wing) but this does not really notice or let down the look of the car. I was going to have the car resprayed in Lexus pearl white - which is what I will do if it does not sell!!!It also has the very rare glowing rear GT badge, a feature lost on later versions of the Starlet.

 

 

 

I have just fitted a set of BRAND NEW polished TOYOTA MR2 ROADSTER alloy wheels with BRAND NEW YOKOHAMA tyres and GENUINE TOYOTA chrome wheelnuts/locking nuts(cost over £400 with the tyres and wheelnuts). It has had recent brake pads all round and a full exhaust system (original Toyota twin exit rear box type) so all of the major expenses have been done! I have just put it through it's MOT and also fitted new Genuine Toyota rear top strut mounts, GENUINE TRD lowering springs and a brand new Genuine Toyota headlamp.

 

I have been using this Starlet everyday as it is cheaper to run than my Twin-turbo Supra, but it suprises me just how fast this little Toyota is!! I have had it off the clock at 180km/h (about 115mph) and it was still pulling hard without the revs being anywhere near the redline!! (photo available!! :D) Anyway, this car drives as it should and both modes on the Turbo function correctly. A switch on the dash selects betwwen the Hi and Lo boost modes and a digital Turbo Boost Gauge on the rev counter lets you know what mode you are in and how hard the turbo is working! And all of this is standard from Toyota!
