January 17, 20188 yr comment_713230 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.

January 19, 20188 yr comment_713267 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. Report
January 19, 20188 yr comment_713278 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. Report
