Got an email from a Swedish guy named Marcus, he had found my Starlet site and it turns out we are pretty close (mileage that is). He seems to also like Starlets and I asked him if he could send me some pictures of his Starlet so I can show it here. Marcus was kind enough to that. Here some pictures of his nice Starlet.
A little background first:
Marcus has now bought a Corolla tubular intake to assemble on the car in the spring / summer. That gets him some more horses to play with.
He has no garage to keep warm in so he would love to have some warmer degrees when he´s fixing with his car. It´s pretty cold here in Sweden as I write this..
Marcus has installed an open air filter, and also some for white indicators from ebay. And he´s also put a massive front of extra headlights on the car.
He has also obtained second-hand 15 "alloy wheels to be painted and is also thinking about buying a 40/40 lowering kit eventually.
Has he replaced anything on his Toyota?
He has not had to buy anything except a right front strut who he got an remark on in the yearly car inspection (mandatory here in Sweden) last fall, then he has changed his windshield (insurance) and a manifold gasket. I dont know how long he´s own his EP91 though. If I remember correctly it has run about 150 000 km.
He says he is often on the
ukstarletowners site checking for tips and tricks, he also found a post from me there. Here are some pictures of his Starlet.

He´s bought a tubular intake manifold from a Toyota Corolla, to be assembled when the temperature gets warmer outside. Hope to hear from him again about it. |
|
 |
Marcus also found some 15" alloys wheel to be mounted later on. Looks nice. Dont know the name on these? |
|
Marcus also have an starlet EP70 as he´s doing as a long term project. Expected to be completed for car inspection survey in 2018, when it also becomes tax-exempt.
Thanks Marcus for information and your pictures! Keep us updated.
