Hi everybody!

I'm Mario from El Salvador. I'm not very good writing in english but i found this forum interesting to share experiences with starlet owners.

I'm a proud owner of a starlet EP80 that i use for road rallying and a little bit of circuit racing.

Here are a couple of pictures of it:

This picture was taken in Guatemala the last year. I use the 999 number because it was the engine size (999cc). Last week we upgraded the engine to a 3E engine (1456cc).

Driving under really bad weather.

As you can see.. bad weather helps little engines and crazy drivers hahahaha There are a lot of beautiful starlets and glanzas in Guatemala. All of them are well prepared for the racetrack.

Welcome aboard! I think you'll find that you're actually extremely good at writing in English, you'd easily put some of our English members to shame!

Looks like these races are a lot of fun and I'll look forward to hearing more about them from you.

Elcome mate!

I do know guatamala is crazy for starlets.

Have u heard of the wypall racing team?

i'm sorry, but i haven't heard about them....

Well.. Hi all! I have been very busy at the work, but i'm back.

Last sunday we came to the track to the event "sunday racing"... it's like a open track day where anyone can compete. I think that it was a very good oportunity to test the engine swap. So... this is the result...

Let me introduce "El Jabalí" raceway:

The car taking the video its a civic si, the gray one its a modified VW, the red one its a Suzuki Swift GT-i. And of course my starlet EP80 with a tercel 3E engine, it appears at 1:22 but i hope that you see the entire video to know the track.

As you can see the track was under manteinance and it was very slippy. That give us a lot of fun, it was like driving in a rally hahaha At the end i had to left the track due over-heating problems, but that it's going to be fixed soon ^_^

Well.. It's time to say bye, i hope that you like the video :harhar:

Hello again!

The last weekend we had the second date of the national championship.

This time I ran into a new category called Super Street Jr.... Overall I was not too bad despite being one of the slower cars, I managed to reach a couple of cars, and I was not the last one jajaja :lol:

I have some pictures of the car and a couple of videos on board.

Here are the on board videos:

I hope that you find this one interesting... the track was a little bit dirty jejeje

And here a couple of extra videos:

This car has the track record for the Super Street category:

This is to show you how dirty the track was that day:

P.D: Don't worry, at the end that car only had a couple of hoses broken and a flat tire.

Trying to pass a swift:

At the end I managed to pass both cars:

Well.. and that's all for now :) Have a good day!!
