Owning A Starlet GT, Modified Car Review 

This video was one of the reasons I started looking for a starlet a month ago... I bought one yesterday!!!!!

Fuck civic's I'd much rather have a starlet

this chap is better than the new topgear, your starlet vid was great, i miss my starlet gt subbed

Just the smile on his face says it all. Nice thrill and low cost. Love the starlet.

"Oh my god what the fuck is this" hahahahaa

I think this will kill vtech boooooooost lol

I would own one of these as a daily, probably would be a little toned down from this one, but nonetheless gt's are awesome little cars

I've had a couple of friends with these including one that's just under 250 bhp

I feel you only really brushed the surface with this. I've owned my GT for over 5 years and appreciate what you say about torque steer, but fitting an LSD makes it much more snappy and unpredictable in some cases. Also with a rear interior they're actually pretty well sound deadened and easy to use on a daily basis. I don't feel you spoke about the handling as much as you should have done as I've found it to be one of the best things about the car. It can be a little tail happy with lack of care but when driven properly they're stable and quite predictable. Not to mention that there are also endless amounts of handling upgrades on the market which completely transform them. Over all they're a typical hatchback with the capability to beat most cars on the road with around £4-5k spent on them. Power and handling... However you lose most comfort and practicality with the more modifications you do to make it faster - like with all cars..... A nice video though. It's interesting to see the opinion of someone who does't own one! Keep it up mate. Interested to see more reviews :).

hahaha, I always give cyclists turbo when i see them :D cracking video dude! love my little starlet :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jPVxwrSsCvU.htmlm32s

We need more reviews like this for first time drivers with cheap cars, I love this video it's made me want one

I've always liked these for some reason. They look like a Micra with a bodykit but when they're black out and have bucket seats they look so cosy inside.

why does switch gear as soon as the boost kicks in

Ive had a few of these. best one was running 200 bhp. i own a civic type r ep3 now and to be honest i miss the pull in my gt. great cars and very good on handling.

you really need to test one out at 1.4 bar they make about 260-280bhp it's a completely different experience

i dont know why but i think he enjoyed that :)

I'm planning on getting a standard starlet and just putting in the 4e-fte and an LSD that way I can hav low insurance and a beast, I've seen it done with 1.3 subies

I love your reaction! Your reviews are brilliant!!

bought one after seeing this video, yeh. might reconsider the influence youtube has XD

.. thank you for the positive comments , I own a starlet with a 1.3 turbo engine & s.a fuel management, the rebuilt has been done by friends of mine from garage Ultimate Racing back in 2009 .. great car to drive (and always attracts attention)

Do love these, but I couldn't own one. Too much power in too little a car. I would kill my self to quickly..

With all the aftermarket/modification stuff/parts tht are being stated here, how bout the ECU/management system?? is tis car (in tis video) uses stock OEM ECU or any aftermarket piggyback/standalone management system?? n is the 'custom tdo4' tebo means the subie tdo4 tebo has been 'tweaked/hybrid/modified'?? thnks... :D me oso got a stock 4E,, planning to change a tebo, coz d OEM ct9a tebo is not 'healthy'..bcoz i saw an engine oil at the blow off valve..i thnk tht d tebo oil seal was leaking.. turbo repair kit is hard to find in me country..all other 4E FTE/EP82 parts oso hard to find nowadays.. for eg., the engine mount., n sensor related like knock sensor.. thnk for sharing.. :D #motorsportsneverend

I've got a 400bhp+ 106 Turbo if you want to try it. Check out my videos.

I currently own a Civic EP2 Sport 1.6 sohc and i want to sell it for one of these beasts!

Why isn’t police doing anything about this?

ahhhhh, memories. black, torque steer, rattles, boost, never gives up, smiles, Japan, Incredible. I miss my quad light GT

I'm looking at getting one 18 no ncb (only got my licance a week ago) Glanza is 2k for a year with out black box ep82 2.5k with black box I prefer the look of these so I think it's worth a black box for the year

Brilliant cars. I had these and the glanza and loved them. good times.. I'm 38 I used to insure them as efi ones to get it cheaper here in Ireland saved a fortune 😅

Also, my car does pull a little, but I feel you might be exaggerating a bit. It ain't that bad :-)

I remember in 04\05 ringing up insurance for a price as wanted it badly( tried fiat uno turbo). The guy from insurance heard turbo and injected and laughed!!

haha love the comment on cyclist give them fking turbo haha, that sounds insane I love that blow off, impreza turbo in that sounds insane, I don't think a civic stand anywhere near that, thats a pocket rocket lol

These are one of the best lil japanese cars in the world.... Toyota Turbo Starlet all the way ;-)

cool my dad has one of these

Thanks Jamie I've got the starlet bug again haha cracking video mate

I had 3 gt starlets when I was in my 20s now I'm 38 and I picked one up about 5 years ago and it was sitting in my drive up until a week ago, now it's with my mechanic getting a full overhaul and I can't wait to get it back on the road

people find it hard to believe that the motor is just 1.3lirs but they go like stink when you open up the exhaust and the intake, and do a ECU tune.... brilliant.

Question is, would you own one now? I'm having a phase do I get rid of my Celica GT4 for one of these or not! Funny video, enjoyed it.

楽しい車だろ？ 俺の人生最初の車がソイツさ！ブレーキノーマルだと危ないから気をつけてね！

Had 3 of these cars love them and allways will that manifold looks like edds old manifold built by custom pipes in Doncaster lovely motor

I think we're missing immodium from that car to help all those constipated expressions...

Mate from my garage has got a Toyota Starlet GT Turbo EP82 and bloody hell the acceleration 😂

*meant tried starlet and fiat both to one sarcastic prick but laughed over original quote I wanted

Used to owned last time,I manage to get only 165hp/190nm

i am putting one of these stock (for now)in a ford festiva 92 any thoughts?

Nissan pulsar GTIR turbo

My starlet is my life pretty much watching these starlet videos is giving me ideas on what to do with mine

does anyone know of any information pertaining to a coil on plug conversion for the 5efe?

What's your current daily Jamie? :)

you better watch your language

Such fast cars just a shame they are so unreliable. Speaking through experience...

Same reaction in many videos, one thing common. INSANE.

I'm driving a 1991 mk1 turbo starlet running on standard turbo with front mount and relocated air intake boosting on .9 it's putting out about 150 bhp. Great fun car I love it.

I have a paseo same engine but I don’t know where to find parts for it

Bolt a turbo from a Scania on the side and tear that rubber to ribbons!! lol

loving all your vids. keep up the work. You should either do a review on a Pulsar gti-r or a e46 m3??? But a competitor for that starlet would be a boosted civic eg or ek

you sealed the deal for me bro. Was thinking of buying one for so long. After watching this video i went out and got one. Now a happy starlet GT owner. Thanks mate 😀

The joy in your face 😂

does this have power steering?

Well done man finally a good video about a starlet cheers man and keep it up

"An lsd because it ffffucking needs it" haha !

My favourite video on this channel😂😂

has this starlet got a throttle cable fitted into it ?

This is the eg competitor if done properly

You deserve so much more recognition.

Thinking about buying one any info on insuring one

Stock pistons? And fuel pump?

Best cars to have fun with . Miss my ep 82

lol good review mate, had me laughing at times
