Nick_p Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Hi Guys am new to this forum and have just got me a 1994 Starlet GT Turbo.Got it for £2500.Used to Drive a 106 Rallye, But that got written off when someone drove into me on the dual carrage way!The Starlets Just been Imported from Japan so need to get it registered this week. Its got just over 88Km/h on the clock, came with 12months MoT aswell.Mod wise it has a HKS Induction Kit, a Boost gauge on the dash, Blitz Blow Off Valve, Alloy wheels, I think TRD Sideskirts, It also has a Exhaust But am unsure what what make it is. Sounds Good Though. Has a couple of bad points but nothing major, Drivers window doesnt work, the alloy wheels could do with being refurbished and theres a couple of minor dents to the bodywork.Heres a Few Pics of her.All in all am well pleased with the car and the preformance is really amazing.Let me Know what you think Nick Quote
Guest Enzo Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 sound as mate hopefuly you will find everything you need on this site related to your ep,i bet your not too impressed with the handling, its probably astep down fromthe pug in that respect but more than makes up for it with straight line speed.if you need help with anything just ask Quote
Nick_p Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 Cheers MateYeah The handling isnt as good as the pug was, but i reckon with some uprated sus and tyres it shouldnt be too bad Straight line speed is awesome!Have Wanted a Starlet for ages, its only now that i can really afford the insurance.

tinman Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Sweet ride dude, as you say with the rite mods that'll out strip your old pug handling memories, Quote
SiCaln Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 yea get some coillies n some struts n its over lolwhat u gna do bout the window tho lol Quote
Sparky Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Welcome to the Starlet World I totally agree that those pugs are awesome in the twistys put a set of coilys will sort that Also if i was you i wouldn refurb those wheels just get a new set but is up to you, you might like the wheels Have fun with your lil pocket rocket Sparky ;) Quote
ecksjay Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 welcome mate.i might be in possesion of another set of racing sparcos soon so if i do i'll pop em up here for all to see, if you're interested in changing em.what GAB stuff is on the car? it has GAB stickers so just wondering if it has gab suspension or braces etc...

Jozinobi Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Welcome to the UKSC mate!Well done on finally getting the starlet GT you wanted!Enjoy your Stay!Peace OutJoz Quote
Raffi Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Welcome to the clubAnd nice GT...If you want to stiffen up your body (or handling), just get some braces and some sportsdampers with lowrings springs or just coilovers... Quote
Nick_p Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Cheers for the warm welcome guys.I think ill just be refurbishing the wheels that are on there and just getting some good tyres.with the window, it seems to be the regulator that is at fault, so will replace that in the near future. What make coilovers work best with the starlets?I think the GAB stickers are just for show, sus on the car looks standard. Am gonna remove the stickers from the side when i get a chance. Quote
Sparky Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Most popular choice of coilovers would be the D2's as they are cheap considering the adjustment and quality of them Quote
Nick_p Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Was Just looking at The D2's on Ebay just, like you say they are alot cheaper then other makes of colovers!If there not bad quality then i may get a set of these, as cant really afford alot more £600.Also if my Speedo reads in Km/h does that mean its restricted?ive seen a few de-restrictors for sale which connect to the speedo cable, but was wondering if you could get the same clocks but ones that have the speed in MPH?

Get yourself a cable converter to change to MPH,most people just put a MPH sticker over the KMH one,up to you if you wanna get new dials though. Quote
shelly_star Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Welcome newbie. Very nice indeed, and it's silver as there arent many silver ones i've seen around. Enjoy your stay Quote
