naylor Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 hi everyone,,recently i was given a 1986 starlet 1.0l, the car comes with 1 previous owner, 52k on the clock with all service history up to 1997. The car has not been moved since 1997 and the interior is mint. The engine sounds very sweet, amazingly after 13 years started second turn of the key with a jump pack.I would like advice what engine i could replace with to make it fast or do i keep the car totataly original as it sounds very well...many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
naylor Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 .......or sell it to me Seriously though welcome,only engine worth talking about is the FTE suppose you could put a 20v in there but more hassle with mounts ect. Take a look in the EP70 section for some insperation haha how much,,been looking on websites on net but thought it would be best to speak on here ans get advice from you guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
