Nice one dude! Always had a soft spot for these dont know why, just always been a fan.

Big plans for it?

P.S Welcome to JDMST!

[Sp33dY]

Is it an AU Spec with a glanza bonet / lights / bumper? OR is it in fact a dodgy import Glanza with hubcaps? Im guessing its non turbo?

They are great little cars cos its so easy to drop the 4gte's into em :)

P.S Welcome to JDMST!Thanks.

Definitely more plans for it.

Yep. This Starlet started off as a stock ADM "Life" model when I first had it.

JDM Glanza's always came with 14" steel wheels + hubcaps from the factory as far as I know of.

It's still naturally aspirated at the moment.

Yeah the 4EFTE off the EP91 Glanza's/EP82 GT's are fairly simple to drop in.



Check 1st post as I have updated the specifications.

[Kikkoman]

woah 20v in a starlet, tahts something new!

[J]

thats sweet as man, cant wait till its running. but recon it will be quicker than the vienta? haha :P

[milkman]

Hey dude you from Western Sydney? I think I seen this around St Johns!

Love the car dude. The LiFe sticker and peashooter threw me off!

[tommykairaR]

recon it will be quicker than the vienta? haha :P

lol :P . . .It won't be as torquey as the Vienta but it'll definitely have better power to weight ratio, rev out higher & be more fun around corners.

[Jing]

wtf that cant be a stock 20v engine? I knew it has individaul throttle bodies but damn........what a sexy piece of toyota engineering

[tommykairaR]

As far as I know, the engine is internally stock. It has a few bolt-on mods but other than that, it's fairly stock.

[EGG80X]

woah 20v in a starlet, tahts something new!

[Davf]

Saw you at thornreee on the weekend, thats a nice car, must be great fun to drive. I like how the adjustable rear sway bar is insight from behind the car.

[Buddy]

[tommykairaR]

[Kaotic]

hey nice ride... just wondering ho much performance and sound you get from a hi-flow Catalytic Convertor? and can you add them to stock exhaust or do u need new extractors and catback? thanks

[tommykairaR]

Thanks for all the comments so far.

hey nice ride... just wondering ho much performance and sound you get from a hi-flow Catalytic Convertor? and can you add them to stock exhaust or do u need new extractors and catback? thanksKaotic, I've always had this exhaust setup since I did the conversion and I never had a different exhaust setup on this engine to make a comparison in terms of performance/sound.

You can replace your stock catalytic convertor with a hi-flow one, but I don't really see the point since if you're upgrading the stock catalytic convertor, you might as well upgrade the whole exhaust system. In my opinion, you free up one restriction on your exhaust but leave the rest standard . . . just don't see the point in just doing that.
