To start off with there is the all important engine; it started off with the basic 999 cc engine, with a 1.3 litre and 1.5 litre for those who were a little bit sportier. Actually, in such a small car the 1.5 litre engine combined with the five speed manual gearbox would have offered the driver some serious power under the foot around 135 HP, it would have been a dream pulling away from the lights in that.

This is a car that was in production for almost ten years, so there was definitely a market out there for the Starlet and now it is the time for the import builders to get their hands on them and make the car live on by adding some cool body panels with bulges and scoops. However, most of all under the hood where there is plenty of scope for the builder to add some modern and dare we say more reliable parts.

In this particular build, the car has managed to keep its original body shape so there is no mistaking what this car is, but at the same time it has a more modern feel to it, if that is at all possible! The build is kind to the car in a way that the owner is not ashamed of it being merely a Toyota Starlet, he wants to how off this car from eighties, while having some present day touches and there is nothing wrong with that.

Here are the features and specs for this classic 1993 Toyota Starlet;

Of course, this is no ordinary Starlet you can tell that buy simply looking at it, those widened wheel arches that give it away. Having said that, there is definitely something distinctly 1970’s about those wheels you have to wonder where they came from!

This is a great looking car, even with those modern Nissans, Toyotas and Mazda’s in the background, you want to call it quaint but in your heart you just know that is not true there is no way I would like to come up against this little beast no matter what I was driving.

So this is real drivers car, there is not fancy equipment inside or out and yet on the track it is likely to handle the track well, although it would have been cool to know the top speed of this little baby. Naturally, you should not be calling this a little baby at all.

The weight of the car has been put down as being just seven hundred kilos and that is with virtually everything stripped out of the car, but never the less the little Starlet will have some serious pulling power and probably not just off the starting line either.

Personally, I like this car; it has a certain style and when you think about how old it is. This is real classic machine that has out lived many of its modern counterparts.
