deebo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Picked up today by Shorty is my new car! Its a 1992 uk spec 1 litre gl. Its got a 1 litre 1E carb engine and some pretty cool old school styling lol Grant, Shorty and myself have a few plans and ideas floating around including a few gt bits and maybe an eengine swap in a few years. the best bit is as they are toyota stock components so the insurance cant complain http://www.ukstarletowners.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/blum.gifanyway here it isall in all i think its pretty damn mint. its got a tiny bit of rust on the passenger side but i dont think its anything major. suffice to say im well chuffed!will try and post up some more piccys soon. will be looking into that rust and chuckin a few bits and bobs on......Deebo.

morgey Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Dam thats some milage, goes to show toyotas engineering Cant wait to see what comes of it. It would seem you have some fairly influential people close to you so i can imagine it has a good future.Heres another ep80 for some insparation from someone on fb, not sure if hes on here tho?Hoping that works lol Edited January 6, 2013 by morgey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deebo Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 190 is a lot but its runs pretty sweet still. Gonna rebuild it after another 10-20 k. Got a slight oil leak so thats all the exuse i need haha will get that sorted quick tho before it gets worse.That car looks absolutley sick! Lovin the bumper and i notice a cheeky cage there too. And yeah the influence is there, thinkin of a 4e, then a 5e at a later at later date. Leavin it for now otherwise ill never afford the insurance haha. Will however do some work on the carb, give it a pancake filter and maybe some uprated internal bits.Today tho i fit a cusco rear brace and the jdm brace. Lovingly donated by shorty. (He is all for the little beast!) Is all for now but will be back!Deebo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deebo Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 So after having them in a box for a few months i finally pulled my finger out and fitted the TRD shocks and springs i got of off jarrod (big thanks)Heres the before and afters.FrontRearIts was about time too as the old suspension was a gonna, perished and probably about fall off lol think banging an engine in the back was the last straw hahaIt handles absolutley wicked now, alot stiffer and no roll. Shortys been throwing into corners while using it and is on the verge of stealing it i think lolMore comming in the next week hopefully.Deebo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 On the verge of stealing it.......no............stolen it?? YES!!! Mooohahahaaa. I actualy cant belive the difference. These piss all over my teincoilovers i ran on the v. They are just stiff enough to be liveable on road but perfect for cornering and spirited driving. I shit you not i have litraly thrown it soooo hard in to bends its just such a great suspension setup!!! I dont want to fix my bmw anymore as ill have no excuss to steal this anymore when i do lol.

turbo Grant Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I bet it's like a different car. Never drove a starlet or paseo on standard suspention. But I know the paseo handles well on springs and kyb shocks or whatever it has on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
