ZEROPILOT Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Hello. I just joined this morning. I have a 1981 KP61 Starlet with a 4AGE and T50 5 speed. The car has an all steel wide body conversion (custom) Period American Racing magnesium 13" wheels with wide tires that I'm finding difficult to replace and custom paint. The car is running, but the transmission is out while I find all the parts I need. The car also needs a TON of work since the old owner yanked apart the KP61 wiring and never figured how to correctly run the AE86 wiring. This is my third Starlet. But my first in 19 years.

ZEROPILOT Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Posted January 18, 2018 The fenders are grafted in steel from am old Mitsubishi Starion. The bumpers do suck. I'm looking for replacements. Quote
ke70dave Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Starion! That is a name i havnet heard in a long time. Almost as long ago as Cordia.... Super cool and looks quite well done. RWD 4age in a car that small must be a hoot to drive. Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Starion trivia time. It was supposed to be the stallion, but the message was sadly relayed by phone and not in writing to the US marketing department that had to handle the branding of the car. Quote
altezzaclub Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Yes, from the inablilty of the Japanese to pronounce the 'L' sound.. comes out as a soft 'R'. Quote
