D L M's 82 Starlet

[D L M]

So I've always wanted an old Japanese car and I finally got the chance to snatch one up. This is going to be a slow build as I am still putting money towards my Miata. I am currently driving this car daily but my plan is to put a 4AGE 16v in to it in the near future. So without further adieu, here is the newest addition to the vehicles I own:

Rota wheels with original Toyota center caps and Yokohama tires

Smells like the 80's

Over 200k on the original motor and still running strong!

Very clean, man! That's one helluva daily.

[I<3flippyheadlights]

That car is amazing.... I'm incredibly jealous.

Stock engine and triple-8's – unlimited grip :D
Love the Starlet, a friend of mine has one with the 2T-G engine.

[Sharpie]

Nice! Congrats!

3rd pic of the wheel looks like a close up shot of a diecast model.

I've always wanted a Starlet.

awesome little car! hahaha I have another friend who said the exact same thing!


kp61! if you haven't yet, register at japanesenostalgiccar.com.. you will thank me later. :D thanks NA. I'll def. Register there. There aren't very many of these on the road (atleast not in Vegas). Parts are not as easy to find as they are for my Miata!

[Kolbotn]

Awesome! I love The KP61, and yours looks to be in really good condition too... Most of The ones in Norway have rusted to pieces.

I've had a few Starlets in the past. I really miss driving them. You have a really nice KP. Keep it up. If you need any Techno Toy Tuning parts for your KP let me know. I am a reseller. They have lots of new KP parts coming out in the next month.

Thank you sir! I've bought a few of your parts for my Miata and they're great. You're definitely on top of things in regards to speedy shipping. I'll be pm'ing you soon about some starlet parts.

How did I miss this? Nice Starlet! I'm secretly a Toyota guy, so ignore me when I drool over its sexy body.

[Slidder]

I always wanted a starlet, It all started when I was young watching autoX in a near by park in the philippines.

What part of Philippines are you from? Most of my family lives in greenhills and cainta.

This just came out from Techno Toy Tuning.


The front suspension design on the KP61 has was always a "budget design" from Toyota. It utilized the swaybar as the TC (castor) Rod, which made it very hard to get precise steering feedback and stability at high speeds and while cornering.
Our rally customers requested a solution that would convert to a separate TC Rod and swaybar setup in order to provide the better handling of the AE86.

We aim to please, so this is exactly what we've done!

This complete solution includes:

1. Our fully boxed and fabricated adjustable lower control arms
2. Our fully adjustable TC Rods (adjustable from stock to 6 degrees caster if necessary)
3. Modular racing swaybar with that is adjustable for tension and allows you to choose your swaybar stiffness.
4. Heim jointed adjustable endlinks with urethane bushings on the lower mounting point.
5. Front chassis brace/mount that bolts to the stock chassis in 10 factory locations.

All parts are powdercoated or plated for rust prevention.

Requires the use of AE86 stock steering knuckles and strut casings or coilovers (but most everyone considering doing this conversion has already switched to these parts anyways). It is possible to run factory AE86 lower control arms to reduce the price by $350

Total price on the kit with everything pictured is $1125

Sweet setup garagestar! Gonna focus on the motorswap first! The stock motor isn't really cutting it even for daily use. Just waiting for more funds!

[garageSTAR]

What swap are you planning to do?

[D L M]

16v 4age. I need to stop putting all my funds in to the Miata tho!

[garageSTAR]

I have some 4AG stuff laying around so if you need anything let me know. Also I have a set of T3 4AG mounts here from my old starlet. Brand new never been used. Damn I miss my Starlet!

[Roadster]

I took one look at that Starlet and knew you had to be a pinoy. Ayos!

I've owned 2 myself and enjoyed driving that thing way more than my TE.

Subscribing.

[samulis]

Ah, love it! Friend of mine had one at the same time when I owned ae86, it was expencive at the time and all the money was in the engine, small 1.3 screamed over 10krpms. Darn it is long time ago, it was such a great combo in winter time, all those nights spent on sideways action.

Here's some 245hp 4A-ge love that I have to share...
