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

Just enjoy the view

and if your lucky you'll get to hear the numbers some day.

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. · 26-01-2015 1:03pm

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

166man · 04-02-2015 4:57pm

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. · 04-02-2015 5:39pm

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. · 05-02-2015 5:33pm

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 · 05-02-2015 6:55pm

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. · 05-02-2015 7:10pm

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
A little bit of pointless information there for you haha

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. · 08-02-2015 11:02pm

Don't think they did man the colour code is 6L2 so who knows maybe they did use it

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. · 09-02-2015 7:18pm

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
