nice car.....im also busy with a 4 door ep70

wish i could get my hands on the 4door turbo body kit

same spoiler but a replica one and mounted different than yours

Sounds interesting, you have a thread going for that?

Loving the progress, keep it rolling man

do you need to make any changes to fit the corolla centre console? or is it pretty straightforward?

Sorry if this whole thing is a bit late, i'm just really not in the mood to open my computer this past weeks, feeling shit and all.

Things started to look great yesterday, as my dads friend offered me a really rare JDM Wheel, a Sprint Hart RS. I've never even heard about them! For 550 Bucks, they are quite a steal, so i purchased them without hesitation.

I'm really glad the size and offsets suits the car really well. No more replica wheels for this little guy!

For anyone who's wondering, they're 15x6.5 +45

Meaty fitment is bae

As for now, this is how i'm keeping the car, at least aesthetically. Will probably apply a paint protection in the near future and increase the braking power in the FAR future lol.

Hey guys, haven't got the time to post or even take any decent pictures but the cars home! been taking it for a drive for the past 2 days or so. There is one minor problem which is the central locks seems to only work on the front doors, so that have to be sorted. Here she is...

Sorry for the short update but i'm holding back for this weekend to have a drive and take some quality pictures to show you guys.

Car almost ready, reckon i could already take it home tomorrow. As for now, she's sitting all shiny with the new spoiler!

This is how the spoiler look close up, as you can see, its only bended around the edges to make it a bit stiffer.

I hate all glassfiber jobs, metall is way to go or some friend of mine maybe do it for me.

Do you have douple layer system or is it only bended around from rear edge? If I do metall spoiler, that would be cool to do adjusting system on side.

Have to give credits where its due, i actually do not make the spoiler myself. A friend of mine made it for me, so im not really sure, but i'll try to ask him about the process.

The spoiler looks really good i want one.

As for the paint. i think crater effect. Can be lack on sanding the surface or chemical reaction Is it primer or top coating ?

I'm guessing its a chemical reaction, either way the problem is from us cheaping out and not fully sanding out the previous paint and/or the putty so learnt that the hard way :/ fortunately the cracks seems to only shows on the

engine bay and only one very minor crack on the roof.

So clean mate love it

Thanks for the kind words!

Cool spoiler, just perfect semi racing look. I have KP60 glassfiber spoiler waiting, but not fit without modding ends :/ maybe should do metall like Yours.

Thanks man, at first i also want it to be made out of fiberglass, but in the end, metals are easier to make from scratch

Sooo a little bit of a small update, good and bad.

The good is the spoiler is now attached to the car! personally I like how it looks as it gives the car a little bit of Kanjozoku touch.

The bad is that the previous layer of paint caused a bit of a trouble as it doesnt seem to handle the new paint so well and this happens I have no idea what this condition is called in english (Cracked, i guess? or wrinkles)

Hopefully only in some areas.

My shop said it could be fixed but it won't be done till the next few days or so. So i will keep posting stuffs and keep you guys updated...

Looks very cool, great work buddy

Thank you for the kind words, will keep stuff updated.

Looks great! Another good engine option for you would be to combine your 5e bottom end with a 4e-c carb head (bit hard to find though) as you wont need to muck around with EFI wiring or plumbing and you'd benefit from the dohc head. Match that with some 4-2-1 5efhe headers and you would have an awesome little engine package.

Good luck and keep up with the updates!

Thanks for the recommendation! and i didn't even know 4E comes in carbs haha, so i guess i'll put in your suggestion as one of my possible options.

Hey guys, so this will be a kind of slow update because school stuff will hold me back from working on her 24/7, but nevertheless, this is the car that both my dad and i have been working on. Recently we have some big progress (paints and wings) so im gonna post some pics up.

When i first bought the car it's not actually in a great condition engine wise (2E with combustion problem lol), but as a starting point it's pretty great. unfortunately, i don't have many pictures for the past progress (coilovers, bodykit fabrication and all that) this is the only picture i had when i first bought it.

If you're wondering why i called this the "slow" starbo,its because the engine is underwhelming to say the least, unfortunately 4E-FTE or even a 2E TELU are quite uncommon around here and could get pretty expensive. I'm afraid I won't be seeing a turbo on this car until i at least graduate college...

But not all is hopeless! When you pop the hood on this car, maybe all you see is a measly 2E engine, but a friend of my dad gave us a 5E engine block, albeit only the bottom part, and with some adjustment, the car is now a carbureted 5E engine. Not the best setup but the 2E block is due to replacement anyway.

As of now-ish this is how it looks like. One reason why i'm repainting it AGAIN is because on the other side of the car, the color difference on the front end with the rear end is pretty bad, if that makes any sense.

And this is its condition about two weeks ago. Workshop happens to have another starlet when working on mine. jealous of that 2 door!

This is the spoiler i mentioned a bit earlier, need a bit adjustment but the basic is there...

Some more images.

Got a bit bored with the usual Starbo white color so i decided to paint it something just a little bit different and Championship White it is! Honda haters gonna hate

Now that i think about it, it doesn't look that much of a difference between those two color.

The last picture is how it was sitting as today. so hopefully i can post the result in about 3 days from now!

EP71 Turbo look.

Amazing Buy, Looked similar to mine but mine is not actually turbo and it has an excessive amount of doors ahahah. Looking forward to future updates man.

I like the thought of livesports with the ducktail

So do I! The main reason why i want to change them is because i never see a boxy with ducktail AND Livesports, so i kind of want to go a different route than most EP71 owner around my area.

can understand this if it was an original ep71 turbo but being a replica a very good one at that..can't see how putting a spoiler on would hurt the value id probably be saying leave it alone if it was a 71turbo

Completely agree with Whitenoise how can a car thats already completely modified with a different models bodykit be kept stock lol.

tbh i'm not really sure if its an actual turbo model or just bodykits lol, this is the condition when i first bought it:

the only missing thing is the sideskirt and well, the turbo engine haha. i just assumed the previous owner just buy a normal boxy and hunt down the rest of the bodykit.

Imo this is the kind of car that should be left bone stock, atleadt aesthetically. They are so rare I just feel a spoiler would let it down. Of course it's a matter of opinion.

That's also one of the factor that I consider, I'm always a huge fan of Livesports design, but I also like the stock turbo look I have right now. I think my best solution right now is to go with the Livesports and keep the stock one somewhere in case I want to change back.

Hey guys, as some of you might know, i have an EP71 with full Turbo Bodykit, including the foglamp.

Recently i'm thinking about replacing my spoiler with something like the bigger TRD or Livesport spoiler, should i change it or keep it stock like what i have now? here are some image for reference.

And this is how the TRD or Livesport spoiler looks like. Pics credit to the folks at Speedhunters.

Fixed the links for you mate, all you need to do is just copy the text in the box labelled IMG next to your photo on Photobucket and paste it in Had to laugh at DankMeems though!

Your EP looks sweet! Love clean white 71s!

wow how can i screw up something so simple , thank you for the compliment by the way, both me and my dad built this white EP! It took almost 2 years, because various problems like engine, rust and other things

hello guys, I'm a Starlet owner from Indonesia, just wanting to say hi, and post a few pics of my EP . So here we go

And recently i got my hands on the darker Turbo taillight and heres the photo.

the engine is an odd combination of 2E and 5E. Planning on a conversion to 4efte.

anyways i'll be joining you guys starting today and im looking forward to have a chat with you all

EDIT: sorry if i seem to be a forum noob, but i can't manage to make the photo work correctly
