Darraghmh91.

Wel I thought id join this site after the influence of Cian Ryan on this
I currently drive a mk1 gt turbo starlet and goin back oem with it now and engine bay is in need of a serious clean but body work is pretty ok only minor marks which are to be expected on a 23 year old car but I will get around to it
Iv been collecting optional extras along the way Iv about 23 now I'll get pictures up at a later date

Lucky enough I live in the sticks and my mates renting a house with a big garage out the back. Got this one. http://www.adverts.ie/power-tools/clarke-welder-151-te-turbo/6937057?notification=f6282b810975f8456e89fe7b81e5a7d4-1417961958#comment_40843249

Came with 2 masks and a big bottle full of C02 and nitrogen. I think it's for beer. Has a guiness label on it. Need to get a regulator for it to hook it up. Think it should be OK, think I heard my mate say his da uses 95% Co2 5% N for something :pac:. Haven't looked into it yet. 70 quid all in wasn't bad even with 40 for diesel on top.

CianRyan

Co2, but plenty of dust masks, that **** is smokey as ****.

Dar, I'll go halfs on a welder once I get a job, then we just need the work shop.

Darraghmh91.

Id love it man a nice big garage in it with a **** load of Jdm rare cars ha little toy cars there the best 1.5 and down ha

Yeah let me get a job and **** then I'll look into a garage .. How handy would it be in blessington ha (**** load of monster can't) mint mx5 nd mk1 gt and gi starlet ha it's s dream

They a bit smokey... I've a inline duct fan thing. Might hook it up to a bit of wavin tumble dryer ducting pro welding extraction fan set up. Or just buy some dust masks and open the door!

Get s garden hose and put one half in your mouth and the other out the door nd you will be fine ha .. If you drop dead you will be too out of it to notice haha

Have a mk1 gt myself which has a good bit done to the engine, but like yourself I wouldnt mind a standard engine dropped back into her as replacing parts is a pain in my a**. A few months ago I had to spend 200 euro to replace a manifold gasket just because my manifold and inlets are bored out. These gaskets are like 7 euro from toyota if you havent had any work done on the engine. Felt like jumping off a cliff haha

Nice one man can you get pictures of it up man .. Iv got the std wheels for it now bought a rebuilt ct9 turbo for it yesterday and Iv the std exhaust here in mint condition with the 2 chrome tips on the back box and about 26 optional extras for it now man and about 8 starlet brochures from Japan including a hyper revs book aswell
Just have to get 50 posts up here first to get pics up

Darraghmh91.

Here we go now iv 50 posts now so can get pictures up of the car and fill you guys in about it
The car was imported to ireland in 2010 by a fella called anthony king i believe and lives in galways but then sold it to another fella in donegal called conor peoples who i bought the car off .. the car has been on the track quite a few times from what iv heard and running over 200hp at 1.1 bar ao anyways i bought the car in Donegal on the 19th of august 2013
The car was clean but not spotless and with the milage at 100k i bought it and drove it home
had a nice few mods to it like speedvision hybrid turbo, KAAZ diff, Autoban front mount intercooler, blitz decat, 5zegin pro racer exhaust hks fpr apaxi neo hks actuator etc
iv currently stripped most of it now and installed an OEM optional extra c52 Lsd gearbox fully rebuilt (Much nicer to drive)
blitz decat is gone and oem cat is in the car
FMIC is gone with TMIC put onto it now
Hybrid turbo is gone with std ct9 turbo now
5zegin exhaust is still on the car but i have the original exhaust there waiting to go on with the turbo i bought and polished rocker cover and vacuum pipes

heres the car when i got her home which i did like but wanted to go oem since im a kid when my brother use to own a starlet back in the late 90s





here it is as it is now











the brochure collection i have so far i still have plenty more of these to get but there so handy to look through and see what way it was done from original amd see what optional extras they had to offer
A lot of the brochures are the same but if you get 1 you might aswell get them all



firstly we have here is my vanity tray which has 2 cup holders in it and a little pop up mirror on it which i pretty cool .. it also has a little pen holder on it and slots for change as there is tolls everywhere in japan .. this basiclly just mounts to the car with double sided sticky tape on it





optional extra boot matt .. i really really love this little extra its a toyota rubber boot matt and its so handy for the likes of dirt or oil and it just wipes straight off the car or if your doing work on the car you can simple take it out and lay down on it then pop it bavck in when your finished



optional extra cassette radio for 6 or 12 cd changer .. im not actully gonna put this in the car as it is to suit the cd changed and not actully used as a radio so this would mean id have to use up the 2 dins in the front and i have other plans for them slots so this will be just put away safe



optional extra passanger under seat compartment .. just mounts under the passanger seat with little screws (not wood screws) and can be used to put a pair of runners or even have some of your car cleaning products in it



optional extra footwell lights which mount under the feet of each seat in the front and once the car is turned on or doors opened they light up green and them go off after 7 seconds when the door is closed but stil have to wire them up

Darraghmh91.

all of the followin pictures are all Toyota Optional Extras
Recaro fishnets front and rear and i also have the rear panels and door cards but none of them will be goin near the car till i get them all reconditioned with genuine recaro material and bolsters so that will be a pricy enough job for material alone





map torch .. this is a mad little extra its just wired to the car and for reading a map in the dark as back then there was no sat navs devices so came in pretty handy in japan in the esrly 90s .. when you pull the torch away from its bracket it lights up but will only light up when the car is at a complete stop so you couldnt look at the map while you were driving down the road as a safety feature .. Took me years to get one of these







arm rest . this was an optional extra arm rest which opens up at the top and has again more slots for change in it and retracts back and forward to suit the drivers arm



Reg plate surrounds .. these are pretty hard got and even harder got in mint condition .. there just a surround for the reg plate but in order to fit them i need to get special sized plates to fit them as there designed to fit japanese sized plates and not irish plates but shound have them next week on the car



junior seat which i believe to be 1 or 2 in ireland and just sits on the back seat .. my bird can understand ehy i bought it as i dont have a kid and dont plan on it any time soon but again if you gettin the extras you need to get every last one of them

Darraghmh91.

junior seat fitted to car



mk1 rescueman still brand new in the box .. this mounts to the driver side of the car down beside the hand brake and is just a glass braker and a scissors so if you were to get into a car crash you can cut your seat belt or shirt off you depanding on what you need it for and then the hammer is just there to brake the glass so you can fre yourself from the car .. iv never seen another mk1 rescueman before till i got my one iv seen the mk2 and 3 but not the mk1 so another super rare item added to the list ofd growing extras








mk1 clean box another super rare extra which has a bracket screwed to the passanger footwell and the bin actullt slides off and you can tip the rubbish out without puttin your hand into the bin .. i believe that in japan when you go to fill the car up with petrol then clean this out for you ha i love this little extra again it took about 3 years to get one



Air purifier .. this is the air purifier which mounts to the parcel shelf so meant cutting a hole in the parcel shelf and slotting this into the car then feeding the wires up to the front of the car and fitting the switch into one of the blanks beside the spotlight and its just a fan assisted purifier which is very quiet .. i couldnt believbe me eyes when i saw how clean this was i has to have it

Yeah there mad little things ha I'll give each item a proper write up and explain what there for etc
Still loads to add to my list of extras and iv anoher extra on the was aswell
it takes a long time to source them and when they pop upm everyone wants them and they go for mega money but i wont be selling the car it will be put into a garage so i dont mind spendin the extra money on them as they are pretty cool to look at and others admire them when they see them as they didnt know anything like this was offered for a starlet

toastedpickles

I don't think I've ever seen a toyota with as many extras! I love it!

Darraghmh91.

and another brochure added to the list frsh in from japan this week









and a few pictures of what the brochures have in each of them















heres the only write up i can find about a starlet back in 1990



all comments welcome good or bad .. i do let a lot of negative people at me about the car as its goin back oem and no performance goodies but screw them i love the car and its what i wanted for years so win win for me

CianRyan

You'll find a lot of people here will favour the OEM build.

Love the car but sure you know that.

Yeah seems that was alright with a lot of projects .. Hello from the other side of the kitchen

colm_mcm

That generation Starlet were a great car. There are still a few 1.3 JDM non GT/GI models locally to me and they're in great nick. My elderly neighbour has an Irish one (from new AFAIK)

Darraghmh91.

Yeah there's very few gt gi starlets around now and even harder to get a mk1 ep82 starlet and I'm proud to say I own both a mk1 gt and gi now

My da thought the go was s nice drive for tippin around and bought himself a 97 starlet ha he loved it

chriity139

Heres mine up in sallies gap running in the engine when it got the work done. Paint work isn't as clean anymore as this was nearly 2 years ago. Would like to get her sprayed this year, will see how funds go.




Heres pictures of when I bought it, bodywork and paint were in great condition but was left sitting in a yard for 4 months waiting to get the engine work done which left the paint in bad order and a bit of rust started forming on the boot.







plans for this year if I keep it

replace turbo with better condition one
respray

Darraghmh91.

Nice one man it's s mk2 there pretty rare now aswell I see very few of them anymore .. I'm in Dublin myself I live in Tallaght so not to far from you I'd imagine if your in Sally's gap

There a good car man I'd keep it and what kind of turno you gonna go for a ct9 or hybrid or td04 or somethin man

I just bought myself a reconditioned turno this week can't wait to pop it in just need new gaskets all round now

chriity139

Just want to go for a reconditioned ct9 man not chasing power. Wouldn't mind going td04 but I wouldn't do it unless I forged the engine. Don't really want to pump money into it.

Darraghmh91.

Yeah it's Probly the better option man I believe there failing cars on mods that are on the car now
Hs I'm the opposite man I'll be throwing the cash at mine which I have been doin

Darraghmh91.

Update time
Got this non smoking ashtray in the door today after weeks of waiting for it but happy it came today

It'd a velvet inside to it and it's just for holding coins and stuff as Iv stated cause there's so many tolls in Japan so there coin crazy

davycc

Only after noticing this now:eek:ill be keeping an eye on it.. where are you based?

I have only one rare OEM Toyota part and that is my "man in dandism" floor mats I added to my near stock purple rev5 mr2 1998 na-added a decat and a rare as fook RS-R magic concept cat back exhaust:D

Darraghmh91.

I have the full 5 piece Matt set in this myself .. Could have all the extras nd no matts nd it's just look stink without them all cars need the oem matts
I'm just in Tallaght if your near by pop up some time bring the mr2 I love them I love the Rev1 .. Is your mr2 a t-bar man

Darraghmh91.

Wahoo just got this reg plate in the door to suit my optional extra reg plate surrounds so Iv jap size plates now

You are a man (or woman) after my own heart. OEM spec classics are more unique and desirable then some Kitted out b@stardised wreck. Your GT is mint from what i can see, a lovely example, well done.
My personal want is a 300zx twin turbo completely origional, wheels, interior, the lot. One day......

+1 to that, and I am seriously enjoying seeing some of them in this thread!

LawlessBoy

Great thread will definitely be keeping an eye on it!

Darraghmh91.

Thanks for the comments lads .. Yeah they are quirky extras they have for the starlet i was amazed when i first saw what can be got for it and knew I'd have to get them all but Iv still plenty more to get still which are near impossible to get but I'll get them all

Here's a picture of the front clean box opened up




Here's a picture of inside the arm rest with more slots for change
I'd love to get my hands on some jap coins for the slots .. Be a cool jap piece of history



Jap coins I found in the car WINNER

davycc

I think I might have some old jap coins at home somewhere, that I found in one of my CRX s , hopefully I can dig them out for yourself :-)

Os there a specific site your sourcing the OEM extras? Amongst my fleet is a '95 Primera SRi that is so close to original but missing some small bits. Unfortunately the original SRi alloys are rarer then hen's teeth but I'd love to source some other original bits. Cheers

I know a few people in Japan that can source me all these parts there pretty hard got some are near impossible to get itl take years to get .. I had the same problem with these wheels took the guts of 5 or 6 years non stop searching to get a set that need a spray nd were quite expensive too but so worth it

Darraghmh91.

Got this beauty off Cian ryan in over the moon with it cheers Cian
