Have a 99 that's the same as your 2.0 except mine has grey bumpers. Had 152,000 kms when purchased in 2018 to 178,000 today. Love everything about it. The WOF mechanics call it The Little Warrior. Kia ora from New Zealand! 🇳🇿
From nz here too! These are epic little cars, always driven Toyota and they just handle being ringpieced and thrashed all day every day and still just need oil changes and tyres, and maybe eventually shocks
The car is very light, the acceleration is surprising despite the low power, it reminds me of the Suzuki Swift from the 90s with a 1.3l engine and about 800kg, it was a lot of fun.
i am in australia, i drive my starlet 1997 version since from 2007, still run alright 4xx,xxxkm still very reliable i put ad09 yokohama when on the track day, with 4efe 1.3L, hahaha
there use to be a big racing scene for these in jamaca and they would put the 5e engine in and turbo it without putting low comp pistons or any engine mods in, they never open engines there untill they go pop, and they went very quick and beat the usual turbo glanzas all running the usual 240-270 bhp tunned
Love my starlet, had it nearly 20 years, it's a boggo basic Sportif, not even got power steering fitted a 4efte back in 2007 then forged it a few years later. Pushing nearly 300bhp Check my channel for videos of it on track
Starlet ep 91..Best car ever made in terms of Reliability trough simplicity..i Bought one three years ago with some 188.000 k.m in very good clean original condition..tons of cheap spares around but probably wont need them ..Starlets are quick vivid engines and easy to maintain.easy to wash also due to sweet smooth curves on body..i think is a cute appearance also..I love it ...i was such an idiot that didthn buy one earlier ..i was a motorcyclist only..such an idioooooooot😂😂 All the best from Greece
We have one - in light purple metallic! Terrific car from 1997. Will drive another 20 years 😊
Haha! Both of ours are incredibly reliable - better than most modern cars :)
Brilliant video and also very respectful to the Starlet well done. Great work 👏 👍🏻 👌
Starlets are amazing ❤

Top cars, very reliable i remember my dad had one decades back... when did power steering get introduced on these... once again very impressive ❤
Not sure about the UK market but here in Ireland only the 1998 EP91 had power steering as standard it was an optional extra before that.
Not sure when the power steering was introduced, great cars though! Thanks for watching

Allright now this is personal and I gotta get into the 10s. Nice one btw!
Beautiful cars these are, Your red 1996 looks to be in sublime condition keep it up !
Thanks! It's not bad at all, rust free shell/body just suffering with the usual lacquer peel! New wheels going on next week though :)
Now this is my kind of content 🎉 keep it coming please

Nah we can beat that 🙂 watch what we do to this

Considering one as my first car

This is awesome! I'll sub to your channel as well - I've ordered the wheels for this now so keep an eye out!
i have an ep91 4efe, completely stock, im quite bored of its 75 hp. What mods are good to start off tuning it?
id personally swap to a 4efte and go on from there
go to a 5e. stronger internals, better base platform.
i think i quite enjoy to put 20v engine in it, 4age 20v black top engine 1.6 Litre
*PromoSM*
Why am I watching 11.9 seconds to next year. Fucking why. Put a turbo and 6 speed box on it and do 5 seconds
Because you love it!!!
ENJOYED Every fraction of the video mate !! WooooooooooooooW..... Howz your standing on the Auto Red Rocket 1 though ?
Thanks!! Yes both of them have their own personalities 👌 still drive the auto most days, haven't done anything to the manual yet 🙄
