Galliano Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Presuming you need to design a motor?Starlet ep91 with a Toyota Curren front end, Supra rear end and a gen 7 Celica interior Add it all up and you get the Toyota Staricarenra. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 twin 4efte ep91 but make it look like its done from factory Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 What about looking at the history of the starlet/glanza and the future if they had kept it in production? I know they stopped making them but you could look into what a starlet may look like if they where still in production.Several car company's have small little sporty hatchbacks and im sure the starlet/glanza would be a main contender if still in production.

jason_l Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Would of had two more generations.I know the Yaris was sort of the replacement for the starlet/glanza but it almost seems to me like they went backwards. They never really had a sporty model. I know there is the T sport version but it never really had the power of a 4efte.Im sure you already know but make sure that you concentrate your Final Major Project on a area you want to work in. There is no point doing something that is completely different to what you want to do. At the same time however make sure you pick something that you enjoy doing. A final major is a big project and will eat up alot of your time. Another point i found is that while your at uni you have the chance to do what YOU want to do, the second you are in industry you are doing what someone else wants.I finished my modelmaking degree a few years ago and since then i have been building stuff that other people are designing. I get a little creative input which is very rare in this industry but while at uni i did some truely amazing stuff that i designed etc. I spent the six months of my Final major making a 1:6 scale custom chopper and ended up graduating with a first. I was highly motivated as it was something that interested me! Lots of work though, six months at 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week! End product was so good that even Orange County Choppers almost bought it from me! I Don't mean to hijack your thread dx/dy and i hope this helps mate.Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 They did the Vitz, which was a 1.5 turbo Yaris, again like the GT/Glanza could only be imported.dx/dy more pics of your GT looks sweet from your avatar!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The Vitz was the name for the Yaris mate, so It would of been a specific model I would think. Just like the Paseo is the Cynos in Japan, the Yaris was the Vitz in another country, I believe it was called the Echo in America too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
