OEM MK1 GT turbo Starlet

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

Cheers lads .. The attention to detail has only just began wait and see the work that will go into this car it will be truly mint

Cian you have seen the money gone into it already on optional extras alone ha there crazy money

My plan for this year is get engine in mint condition with full engine and gearbox respray
Car, alloy wheels and engine bay respray
Waxoil underside of the car and spray wishbones and Axels etc
And new shocks, springs, top mounts and nuts and bolts from toyota and if funds allow me I'll get a full braking kit off Toyota all brand new

You wouldn't ask a random girl her bra size, surely you couldn't ask him how much he spent.

Just enjoy the view

Hahahahaha good reply Adrian haha .. Not sure man in about 2500 on optional extras about another 1500 on toyota reciepts .. I know it doesn't look it but all the little bits add up on it snd Iv about another 400 quid worth of toyota parts on the way so I'm always skint ha

Just last week Iv spent 520 on it which resulted in this

Darraghmh91.

Forgot to mention that a few weeks back I got the proper yellow lights for my head lights as standard on the car the previous owner took them our so there back on there I'm very happy with them

ben9195

Darraghmh91.

More parts came today got myself a new ignitor new rotor arm and new dizzy cap again all genuine parts

The attention to detail really is impressive man, havent owned a jap car yet. Love the way you can still get all those parts and not get bent over on the price....:D

Keep it up!

Darraghmh91.

Yeah it's gettin there now it still needs a lot of work done to get it in mint condition but ill get there in the end I don't plan on rushing the car I'll take my time and get it right

Yeah price wise out of toyota is pretty ok depending on the part but the optional extras are very expensive that's where the money is on the car but there a nice feature to the car that very few cars have in them

Darraghmh91.

Got more parts off toyota today .. Brand new ht leads and a new king lead .. That's all the electrical side of the car all brand new now

Interslice

Would love to see this in the flesh. Coming on nicely!

Interesting what you said about the toll bridges in japan. The primera has 2 handy coin holders that get me thtough toll bridges with ease! Always thought they were in japs and not in euro cars because they dont have to worry as much about someone smashing a winddiw for a few quid in coins.

Darraghmh91.

You will see it some day when there's some type of a meet of some sort .. The car is by no means mint but it's come on a long way since Iv bought it last year there's be so much spent on it

Yeah Japan is full of them so there's so many things for change in the car and with the optional extras etc they

mayota

Just looked back at your pics, friend of mine had a celica similar colour but yours looks darker. Did toyota use that colour in Hiaces around 2004.

Darraghmh91.

Here's your answeres here mate

Multi-Box = storage compartment for cards ( bank card, safe pass etc ) .. Coins and bigger stuff like notes, phone or even johnnys haha whatever really fits in there

Vanity Tray = Basiclly it sticks on with double sided sticky tape onto the dash of thee ep82 starlet and has 2 cup holders moulded into it, a pop up mirror, slots for change and a pen holder

Clean Box (Front) = a bin mounded to passanger side footwell which slides off and then straight back on again

Junior Seat = baby seat made for mostly all toyotas in that era

Mk1 Rescueman

Rear clean box = bin that is mounted into the boot of the car again with double sided sticky tape

Rain sensors = when it rains they determin how fast to put the wipers on automatically

Roof mounted clean ace = another air purifier but mounts to the roof where the light is but it has another light built into it so you don't loose your light in the car

Retractable parking pole = whenp arming the car at night if your too close to another object the light will go on/flash to warn you your too close

Hope these are of some help to you mate and answer all your questions .. Feel free to ask more if you want to know anything else about these or any other toyota optional extras mate .. Iv done my home work and can help to tell you if there for your car or not and if it's the right modle for your car .. If I do t know your answer I'll find out for you

They could ha e but I know on the book it's 6L2 blackish/green .. Unsure of the proper name for it tho bit the avensis wasn't as dark as this colour they were a good big brighter I think but I'm open to a answeres if you can get gge paint code to see if they are the same

Darraghmh91.

More super rare optional extras.. These 3 way pioneer speakers seen in the brochures in the starlet never seen a set before in my life in anyone else's car never mind being sold I couldn't be happier with these there the hardest speakers to get ever offered for the mk1 starlet .. Took a while to fine but I got there in the end
