myweestar5 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hello to all starlet owners, I'm a newbie here but have had my GT Turbo for a long time. It may seem silly but I've been scratching my head about this problem for some time. I unfortunately cant afford to run it due to some personal issues which have also caused employment issues. Its a 1995 Starlet Gt Turbo and is one of a kind in it's looks and condition.At the same time there is not much extras or extra modifications done to it just some basics. I have had people asking me to sell it but it was never really my intentions. I still want to get it back on the road but cant see it happening anytime soon unfortunately. I miss it a lot!! Its cruel, but anyway I feel I may not have much options but to just let it go, but on the other hand I'm thinking it may not be so wise to let it go just yet as they are getting rare on the market, and I know this one is one that stands out. Can anyone advise me on what the best thing is to do in this situation? I appreciate all help, advice or suggestions! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 To be honest, with GT's, you will get another one. There are plenty of them about, if yours is bone stock then it's not a bad idea to sell. If you had painstakingly spent years building the perfect EP, I'd be more inclined to say keep it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SKINY Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I've had the GT from march and can honestly say I've not noticed any difference in running costs, great on fuel and insurance was the same when I swapped from my na Glanza rep. I may go through more front tyres but lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I unfortunately cant upload pics at the moment but t's a manual 5 speed gearbox and yes the economics is the one thing I forgot to mention, it's good bang for buck in a petrol car, but not when you have no job and insurance companies here are pure thieves all working together to form a plot in my opinion. I went straight from that to a 1.9 diesel van as I had not much choice and there was some difference on the pocket when funds are already low. I wish I knew an insurance company that could provide a fair cover price for this car here and then maybe things may be a bit different. It's pretty basic with the modifications. It has a Toms body kit, 17" Rs5 alloys, standard suspension currently but not preffered, rear windows tinted, genuine semi bucket seats, TRD steering wheel and gear knob, HKS turbo timer, HKS fuel cut defender, Excedy short shifter, dump valve, mushroom type air breather, quad lights, 6x9 rear pioneer speakers and thats about it. I had other plans for it but they never happened for me. It would be nice car for a vintage car too with the cheap tax and insurance benefits. I did not believe there were many left but then I was not really looking in other countries! Are they really still a common car in the UK? What about Japan or other countries?
