    Lovely car. Reminds me of a 93 starlet I had. Was the "S" model, looked like a turbo from the back, no bonnet scoop or bump. Miss that car now. :D

    The past while Iv been meaning to take the tints off the car so today I got the hair dryer out and peeled them off .. Took bloody ages to do but I'm happy there off now as there was a bad job done on them before hand when it was in Japan I think and they had air bubbles and ripples on them so my oem look is better now with them gone

    Thanks for the comments lads good to see others like this project
    Iv got my job back so start on site Monday morning so things will be good for this project I plan to get it sprayed up next and so will cost quite a bit of money
    Spray the body
    Spray engine bay
    Spray engine + gearbox
    Spray wishbones
    Spray rear axel
    Wax oil under the car and anything that comes out will be replaced with new parts
    Should be fairly mint but I'll need to save up a fortune for that tho it's a lot of work
    After this it will be all brand new brake set up from toyota
    Then new suspension set up from toyota
    Get my Recaro fishnetts all refurbished so there brand new with all new bolsters and material off Recaro themselfs in the uk
    And of course try get myself all these optional extras there's only the impossible ones left now ha
    The list goes on and on but it will be hopefully the cleanest starlet in the country
    It's a clean car now but I want it MINT in showroom condition

    Ha ha im in the same boat man
    I want the optional extra navi boy which is a compass for the starlet and want the rear clean box which is a bin that goes in the boot and there impossible to get .. It's hard to even get a good picture of one never mind source one
    Iv contacts on Japan and New Zealand and a mate of mine has them in Pakistan and Japan so if they can't get it nobody can ha
    Navi boy and clean box will cost me atleast €500 each

    It'd do till you get the genuine part for it man and when you source the genuine one swap them over and put the other one in the attic for a rainy day
    With mine you can't get copy's only the original ones are available

    Iv still got about 4000 worth of extras left I'd say but itl be a one off starlet with them all never seen before so well worth it

    You're a lucky pair of gits.
    If Mazda get a wiff of a car being an import, they have to email Holland, who have to email Japan, who have to email Holland who have to email Mazda Ireland so you can find out if you can even get the part anymore.

    Bloody nightmare.

    And then they send you to a Ford dealer who has the part....

    hah , its probably either infrared audio (japs had infrared on everything in the 90's - 00's ) or some sort of traffic thing, or possibly a button for the cd changer, but id like to see if OP knows.



    Im not normally a fan of a lot of JDM stuff or starlets but my christ OP your doing this one very well. I admire the desire for factory parts and all the options. I never realised a starlet could be spec'd so well.

    Thanks Eric good to know that this starlet has changed your view on these little cars ha I'm sick to the teeth of everybody trying to get a faster starlet and there mostly in wrong hands and people have them in bits now so they have a terribal name but I can safely say this one is in great hands and only genuine Toyota parts till be used and every starlet optional extra will be bought for it but it's a long and expensive project to get it done but better done right and slow instead of quick and dodgy
    I don't know what the button under tape is I think it's just a mute button but I shall find out and fill you in
    Thanks for the good feedback lads much appreciated

    That Japanese writing under the button says 'traffic report' what ever that means.
