Remote fuel filler cap and boot release (I’m scraping the barrel now).ĪBS? Traction control? ESP? No, no and no.The interior was fairly sparse and not really any different to a ‘standard’ Starlet of similar age.
#1992 TOYOTA STARLET GT TURBO FULL#
Cobra Thatcham category 1 alarm/immobiliser (‘fond’ memories of this going off in the middle of a rainy night and going through its full repertoire of annoying alarm sounds – if you’ve ever owned a car with one of these I’m sure you know what I mean).Įven in standard form the power to weight ratio is extremely favourable, with 135 bhp in a car weighing 890 kg.Slightly lowered and stiffened suspension.This one was no exception and had a few performance modifications, some of which the previous owner didn’t even know about: The EP82 is powered by Toyota’s 4E-FTE 1.3 litre engine with CT9 turbocharger and it is rare to find one without any modifications. I don’t know what the top speed was or should be – the 0-60 time was and still is much more relevant for me in this type of car. But it had the performance to live up to the bodykit and big exhaust. To the uninitiated, it looked like I’d bought a rubbish car and put a bodykit and big exhaust on it to give an air of performance far in excess of reality. This Toyota Starlet GT Turbo was my first Japanese import car and I regret selling it more than any other car I’ve owned.
