daniel_g Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stumbled across this when doing a bit of starlet hunting. Thought it might make a good base to convert. Yes i know its fugly and auto. Also its NOT a EP95, because i phoned the dude and made him read me the VIN lol. http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/toyota-starlet/1026866104 Opinions please Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 For a conversion its not a bad base at that money, it is fugly as right enough haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 People pay insane amounts or carat lights and bits you'd probably make your money back off them lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I know the rear lights go for about 80 or so, what else sells ? Front grille lol ? But i wouldn't want to break the poor thing up into parts. I was proper hoping for it to be a 95 though, oh well lol. There is also a rear ended white V on gumtree atm, i was gonna buy it but the boy sold it to another lad who will just break it, so all the parts will be easy got i reckon. Might go view this carat tomorrow, it only 15 miles from me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I've seen them lights at like £130 before. But yeah make it into a sleeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bucketep91 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) It is a bit wierd, i stumbled on an ep85 a few years ago on auto trader, the guy had no idea what it was. I offered a deposit but he promised to hold it, i booked a flight and he called me the next day to say he sold it lol was fucking radging. Turned out da69er fromm tgtt baught it Edited July 29, 2013 by bucketep91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Aww man id be livid if that happened lol, well if it was a decent car or whatever and it got swiped from under you. He would have prob offered a lot of cash for that 85 i bet. I was chatting to Geo on his forum by the way and he was saying hes selling up but cant get back on there, is it down again do you know ?

daniel_g Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Am in two minds weather to keep the front or not, the Carat rear end is staying though Yes Charlie i'll be prob be needing a few parts no doubt. Am gonna try again and phone this dude that stays near me, hes got a rear ended V and i really could be doing with the whole thing. Anyway the Carat has a Gen3 4EFE with the coilpack and the different manifolds. Also has AC and ABS, electric windows and mirrors. Has some weird chrome shit aswell haha.

bucketep91 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sounds like the same spec my 4paw came with. I thought about using the coilpack set up on the fte but didnt know where to start lolId keep the front as is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
