Still looking.....

Yeah I've had my eyes open for a while looking for them but haven't seen any pop up on here and can't find them online either as everyone is out of stock or they have discontinued the product. Knew it might take me a lil while to get one but I thought someone would have one laying around in the shed or garage somewhere and would love to get one fitted as KPH winds me up and I've just fitted indiglo dials that have a MPH dial face but go up to 180mph so need the converter.

Anyone???

Hi everyone, just wondering if anybody has a KPH-MPH speedo converter that goes in between the gearbox and speedo cable.

Are these still available?

Are these still available?

Ok so here are the pictures I've been meaning to post for sometime now, sorry I haven't posted them sooner I've just been non stop with work but here they are: let me know what you think, I'm not easily offended but the starlet is lol. Also if anybody here knows any history of the car wether it be they use to own it or knew someone that owned it or anything at all id be interested to know.

Ok so I've finally managed to upload some pics to photobucket but when I try to upload them on here it says 'you are not allowed to use that image extension on this community' am I not doing it right somehow?

ok if someone could tell me how to upload pics I would be very grateful lol

Ok then people its been a couple of weeks since I went to look at that starlet gt turbo mk3 and haven't posted an update as work has been crazy but now most people are off on their holidays its a bit quieter and have found some time to give you all an update I got my brother and made the 193mile journey from mine down in Bromley,Kent all the way up to Chesterfield, Derbyshire to meet a guy called Matt and his dad, both of them I have to say are top blokes! :thumbsup:They had a few starlets sitting around but as soon as I got there boom I saw it the Toyota Starlet GT Turbo Mk3 and it was just as good as the ad had said it was, had a good look over it and went for a little drive in it and it ticked every box on my check list for buying my starlet, I couldn't believe it was there in front of me and actually for sale and could be mine, I've never owned a starlet before and don't know anyone that's had one and never even been in one but always wanted one so I couldn't say no haha. I handed over the cash and he handed over the keys and that was it I was now the proud owner of a Toyota Starlet GT Turbo Mk3. All I had to do now was hope it would at least make it the 193mile journey back home and as any reliable Toyota would, it did. The only fault it had in my eyes was the exhaust banging against the bottom of the car and with no radio and 193miles of banging boy did I have a cracking headache that night and even the next day but to own a starlet it was worth it haha. Anyway so that was buying it, I've had it 2 weeks now and it still runs like a gooden, not a single problem with it except for a red silicon pipe up near the scuttle panel that has come off twice. I have put some Powerflex exhaust mountings on it and that has helped the exhaust stop banging a lot but not totally so I've also had to use a piece of wire coat hanger to hold it to one side as it seemed to be banging against the handbrake cable clamps I don't use it everyday as I drive a van for work 6 days a week so its all weekend and maybe a night or two in the week for the starlet. I went to a car meet on Saturday night in it and met another 2 guys with a black mk3 gt turbo that I think are also members on here and when all 3 of the black mk3 starlet gt turbos were sat parked next to each other it was a good sight. So I will get some pics up very soon for you all to look at but in the mean time I look forward to getting to know all of you and your starlets and as I've never owned one before and don't know to much about them you will probably be seeing posts from me on a regular occurrence haha

Cheers Ryan, Will be sure to keep my eye out for any smoke and give it a good hard drive. The one im looking at is all standard spec apart from alloys and exhaust and its lowered. Thanks.

Cheers Shaun thanks for the heads up but luckily the one I'm going to look at isn't anywhere near the High Wycombe area and it hasn't got a big spec its standard with just the usually bits, exhaust, alloys, lowered and that's it. Cheers Grant will be sure to have a look

Ok people I think I may of found one and it ticks all my boxes and I'm off to look at it over the weekend, very excited but what should I look for on these ep82 are there any common rust patches? any common problems? any noises I should listen for?

That red one is very nice James I agree but I've got my heart set on a black one so much and I did have a feeling I could probably swap the lights over but I've thought that before on other cars but it wasn't a straight swap I needed to cut the loom and all sorts it gave me nightmares haha and also when I see the quad light kit being sold they seem to go for a lot of money just thought I would be easier to buy one with them

Saw it, it is very nice but I really want a black one
