mike.swarbrick Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hey guys, I'm Mike. I recently bought a Toyota Starlet S, 1332cc Jap import. £500. I really like this car (maybe its because its my first car), love driving it! Clocked up 360 miles in one week. I am interested in mod'ing it a little, but nothing major, don't want to bump up insurance I was thinking mayve headlights or any interior options? Also, do you know how I should get out the dent on the drivers side wing? 'Tis quite big Here are some pictures of it. http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/main.ph...de0124cdc49e444http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/main.ph...de0124cdc49e444http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/main.ph...de0124cdc49e444(sorry, can someone link these directly up? I can't do it for the life of me...)Any advice, tips or tricks I should know? See you 'round,Cheers, Quote

Liam_D Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Welcome to UKSC mate. I think you might be the first EP82 S on the site. To get your pics to load up on the forum mate, you need to use something like photobucket and store all your pics in there. Then all you need to do is just paste the image code. Hope that helps mate.

Liam_D Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Yes mate your car is a EP82 thats the model code the newer Starlets are EP91.N/A just means non turbo model basically mate as Toyota made a turbo model of your car incase you didn't know. Quote
keirz Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 welcome. n/a = naturally aspirated, in simple terms non turbo mate. Quote
mike.swarbrick Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 Thanks for the info guys, really useful stuff to remember. I was still wondering what mod's I should do on it? I mean, I don't want to change the wheels or engine just yet, but literally something to change the car so it's properly mine. I was thinking headlights, changing the actual casing to something nicer (I have seen some very nice ones out there) and the bulbs? What'd you guys think? Anything else I could do?thats 4 wheel drive is it not?!I wish! I haven't checked. It doesn't go round corners that well at all... haha. Red faces all round if it was eh?!Cheers guys!Mike Quote

If I can be of help by taking a picture then I will!silly me, these are the most powerful n/a ones arent they duhReally? What do you mean, compared to the other EP82's or the other Starlets as well?

!Rush! Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Welcome to the site. Nice car to. About the dint on your wing if you take out the plastic gard on the inner of the wing you should be able to get behind it to push the dent out. Alex Quote
Sparky Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Thats pretty funky...quadlights would look good on it mate The only other real things I would do to it then is put a GT spoiler on it lower it and a nice set of wheels Quote
mike.swarbrick Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 Alreet guys? I just got a PM from Jay (what a legend!), he sent all my car info over. Here is what it is:-"Engine code : AGMSKIt's a 4E-FECapacity : 1331cc0-60 booktime : 9.6secsMax output : 100PS @ 6,600rpmMax torque : 11.8kg-m @ 5,200rpmSo basically she's a 100bhp JDM non-turbo model. I've seen these engines in the AWD EP85's imported locally. "Couldn't have asked for more really, well chuffed with 100bhp, seems so much for the first car Just have to make sure no theives get to her On the lookout for Quadlights, anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers! Quote
Liam_D Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Cool, some nice info you have been given there.Keep an eye on ebay mate, for Quadlights that are breaking. Quote
