mizlopi Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi everyone i'm new here and i have a dilema:I have been looking at some starlets on ebay, pistonheads, autotrader etc. and I dont want to rush into it anything until I have found a decent starlet sr, (rushed into getting my first car and well it was a bit crap)So im looking for white starlet sr's found one starlet but its a sportif 63,000miles, white very clean non-modified (i want to do it myself) he wants 1,100 for it.I want to know what the difference between sportifs and sr's are because the power seems to be the same?Is it worth waiting for an sr to come up that's decent.Cheers guys Danny.

ShafzC Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 SR's are 3 door only and have TTE Spoilers, they're lowered 25mm I think from factory, TTE backbox, 15" Speedline wheels and a rev counter, as far as I know but exactly the same engine.Shafz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAG Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 to be honest mate id say7 get an SR Lecky windows are handy and uv got a set of fresh rims and nice lil spoiler on already so you wont need to go spending out on that stuff + fitting a rev counter is effort in comparrison to already having one in there If not an SR go for a GLS there the same spec as an SR with electric windows, central locking and rev counter then just throw rims on it and a rocker on the back Thtas just my opinion though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aldo Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'd say hold out for an SR. I was looking for one when i was 18 and they were around the 3k mark, i ended up going for an ep82 GT. Now i am looking for an SR again and they are going for as little as 1k! There was a mint 63k miles 2 owners FSH silver one on ebay that sold for £1100 last week! Just a case of holding out for the right car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
