About a year ago I had no clue about JDM cars and never really appreciated them but I was behind one of these. I found it funny how someone had put so much effort into the design of what I thought was originally a Daihatsu with a big exhaust, body kits and spoiler. I went to pass on the dual carriageway and then after loads of black smoke and the sound of turbo spool it disappeared! Crazy little car
i have the same car, and it's absolutely amazing and the best part is that when the turbo kicks in at 4000rpm , you'll sense as if the car wants to fly... and the launch is epic
Another great review. Well done Jamie. Not long now to 20K Subs. Wasn't long ago we were talking about 10k!!! Top bloke and a top channel. Keep up the great work mate. Well deserved.
Just stumbled across your youtube acc buddy and am honestly in shock you dont have more subs/followers , keep up your review style, by far up there in terms of quality and simplified so its relateable to everyone. congrats dude!
" i tried to go for the gear change but i was scared". REALEST review i ever saw. Still waiting on those starlet t-shirts (small), and any idea where i can buy some of those quad headlights. I Have a busted one.
loving the videos man, keep it up, your the only one doing reviews like this on gt starlets and all, I'd love to get ye to do a review on my vw Vento mk3 which has a sneaky 2.8L VR6 engine in it lol
I will most definitely buy one of the EK9 shirts if you are re-releasing them! I will try and do a better job of keeping up with your videos but it would be fantastic if you put it in the title of one of your videos when it is close to release
Haha. Love these cars had one as my first car after "sharing" my mums corsa for a year it had only 170bhp though. I've had 3 since love them but happy with the Bmw now I'm too old To have a starlet 😬
@@kan0carsYT this vid has come up in my recommendations so it thought I'd reply. I took the stock engine out in 2020, still running, albeit a bit smoky, and fitted a forged one so I could bump the power more. The original engine was fitted in 2009 and had over 100000 miles on it. I did fit new bearings but didn't re ring it. I ran it at up to 268bhp for a long time, before backing it down to 240ish later on. But it was still running and hadn't blown up Now it's running 295bhp, you can find videos of it on my channel.
awesome cars.. my glanza which ive just reshelled is over 100 more bhp then this.. love these cars and make a surprisingly fast track car. anytime your near london jamie dm me and i let you review mine..
great car. but it can be done far nicer than what it is. wheels doesnt look good with mixed colours either. proper seats needed and steering wheel. will make a world of diffrence
absolutely pointless comment, starlets weigh less than half your supra for starters, double the power of your car would mean the same power to weight. let that sink in for a bit then say a td04 starlet is slow
im still waiting on a EP91 glanza review. but as i starlet owner i know these things go. i have an N/A EP91 starlet, and that as a daily town driver is amazing. have a look at it on Instagram at @ruphea_bmx keep it up Jamie, you are awesome
6:19 - when the boost turns you into a laughing frenchmen.

You need to rev it a lot more!!! Wtf!? Take that thing to 7k

Awesome to see an update to one of my favorite cars you have reviewed. I really want one there just so mad.
imagine sitting in traffic on the m25 with this car lol
Haha wicked! I was watching the original video yesterday as well :D almost 20k it's well deserved mate!
Old school legend . Sick car
been waiting for another starlet video. You should my try my 235 bhp glanza, still standard internals. absolute beast!
And here I am 7 years later and I’ve finally got another one. How time flies!
Wow Jamie, almost 20.000 subs. Very good work mate keep it going!!
so close 20k subs! Jamie you really do make great videos and you deserve a lot more!
The WEPR FMIC is from a garage in Sri Lanka (Wicked EP Racing) and they do turbo kits for Starlets, EVO's and other cars too. just google them.
I had a '91 version w/ mild mods for 5 years. Great car. Miss it.
Anybody think they should sack Chris Evans and Matt leblanc and get Jamie, moog and Marty on board?
yes 100%
That would be awsome
Subaru Sti fuck YER 👌
Pity it will never happen because that's a shitty idea.
Subaru Sti Jamie, Adam ivell (621), Adam LZ/Boqer123 would be class

Looks like mines gonna get a thrashing tonight after watching this!
Really like the camera angle at 11.28 should use that one more often
Lot ov ppl underestimate these but for a 1.3L preety quick cars !
hahah laugh synced up with bov 1:30
Love the before and after videos, don't really love your driving XD this is coming from someone without a driving licence btw.
loving the videos man, keep it up, your the only one doing reviews like this on gt starlets and all, I'd love to get ye to do a review on my vw Vento mk3 which has a sneaky 2.8L VR6 engine in it lol
great video again Jamie love those cars rare as well loud just how we like them
hello broken back if you were to crash in those lovely floor bolted harness's, you'd fold in half like a George foreman grill
Explain
starlets turbos are awsome cars ,suprisingly fast for there size, but if i could have a toy from the 90's it would have to be a charade gtti.
Definitely, the charade is an awesome little car I also love the y10 turbo
No. Sunny gtir.

To have a starlet 😬
Not true on the engines blowing with more power, mine has run over 250 bhp for 6 years now. Stock internals
Usually caused by bad metal bearings
Still going strong?

An absolute beast of a small car...!!! 👹😁👍
Such a shame we never got those in spain!. Great review as always! x
I can never understand why people put harnesses on standard reclining seats
init not worth it unless your tracking
Road or track you should have fixed buckets that dont recline and harnesses attached to a harness bar
+LiamzMedia it's really realy helps on these cars. Mine is so small and stiff you would lift off the seat
fair enough i suppose,
I thought it was dangerous to have them on a reclining seat
i swear im addicted to your channel lol
recently joined, great videos! keep them coming!
early shifting let that screamer pipe screammmmmmmm
I love turbo starlets, have 2
I own one of these different turbos completely change the car maybe do a video on a standard one and one with a roller bearing turbo fitted
I've seen rwd converted versions of those cars with the help of an altezza
I have a TD04 setup as well, so I can relate.. :)
another great video! digging your channel man :D
have you considered selling coach jackets with ur logo on? :D
I know for a very clean M reg starlet gt turbo that's coming up for sale not advertised yet, belongs to my brother in law
Dude once I get my ep91 in shape and actually get boost in the thing you should give that a go won't be for a while tho seeing as I'm a student still
awesome cars.. my glanza which ive just reshelled is over 100 more bhp then this.. love these cars and make a surprisingly fast track car. anytime your near london jamie dm me and i let you review mine..
good video. I've always wanted a EP82 since 2006. There's nothing to them (weigh under a ton) power to weight....
YESSSSSSS , thank you jamie!!
Is a waste gate essential. What benefit does it provide. I got a diesel 1N turbo starlet NP76.
Tidy little GT! Would love for you to drive mine after a bit more work, but dunno if it'd be too similar to this one! 🙄
i watch these videos for your reaction at high revs it's pricesless lol.
That strut brace is from my old starlet haha :)
what type of td04 is this cause mine doesnt flutter like that
YOUR REACTIONS ARE BLOODY GREAT HAHAHAHA
my passeo has the same engine what does he mean blow the bottom out???? im worried now
nice video santa klaus
Jamie...Nice lad....Drives like a Young Chubby James may.....with Tats......you could do Rover adverts ffs......If Rover was still a thing!.....
These are teets use to beat heaps in my Honda's na b16a
What type of racing harness is this ?
wish i can have one of tht car sum day
great car. but it can be done far nicer than what it is. wheels doesnt look good with mixed colours either. proper seats needed and steering wheel. will make a world of diffrence
can you do an m3 or gtr for 20k follows your not far off it now :)
Yes!!
he has done a R32 gtr :)
What dumpvalve are those?
Would love to know what BOV it's running...
Neilon Dias - he isn't using a bov
What's an air and flow ratio gauge do kid 😉
When the turbo kicks in, the engine sounds like a 4a-ge engine
how can I get in contcact with the owner
So whats with the clutch?
Ramstein manifold?
u wanna drive my starlet gt ?
i second that was funny as haha ill remember that 1
How much is it?
200 bhp tats all I got my gt engine rebuilt and its running 393 bhp 1.5
What mods have you done on it?
what's the kerb weight of one of these?
890kg with full interior
Nice
did you sell the Cadillac
It's certainly for sale, don't think it's sold yet, it's on ebay for £14,995.
+Oscar Sandeman thx for the advise
No worries dude.
your like the dude in blue but the uk version lol
omg i want one
Is this rwd?
Filip VÅ
Nope :(
i want one
don't drive a car with the harness bolted to the floor it can break your back when you crash.
WEPER isn’t Japanese lol it’s Sri Lankan
Haha it would be funny seeing this guy in a 500+hp car😂
absolutely pointless comment, starlets weigh less than half your supra for starters, double the power of your car would mean the same power to weight. let that sink in for a bit then say a td04 starlet is slow
Jack Gedge he doesn't exactly mean in this car
naki moto it would be funnier seeing u cry inside one
my Ex Girlfriend had one of these, She could fucking drive it.
That's what happens when u run a td04 run a td05 the engine will last ya life time
Sic car! >.
Great car but i'd still rather a renault 5 GT turbo,r Fiat Uno Turbo or even a MG Metro Turbo instead.
toyo t1r looool
bhp/tonne😺👍
Wepr is not Japanese
This car weighs less then a miata and has mo power ten it
Check out my starlet turbo rebuild/revive video out on my Chanel, over 14k views :)
Again with the seat belts....... Fix that shit
im still waiting on a EP91 glanza review.
but as i starlet owner i know these things go. i have an N/A EP91 starlet, and that as a daily town driver is amazing. have a look at it on Instagram at @ruphea_bmx
keep it up Jamie, you are awesome
mr2 turbo engine would have been better in that
not an easy swap that. but possible.
+Rob S yeah iv seen one afew years ago in banzai magazine ,even stock mr2 turbo is what 200 hp
Using an MR2 engines in a Starlet would be a tricky swap to do and would invole loads of work. The gearbox for one would be a nightmare to fit.
A guy in Australia did it. Pretty mental. Took serious long term work tho.
+Rob S could even put the cellica gt4 engine in , there the same as mr2 turbo ain't they.
I have one of these I'm selling it contact me if you're interested
G-Reddy lmao
learn to rev match & shift .... :
1
came early
my stock V70 2003 has 245bhp and its way more comfy than this crap 🤣 and i paid for it like 2k €
Looks like mines gonna get a thrashing tonight after watching this!
