Full vehicle shot Looking low.

My new wheels just painted the inside and primed outside other day will do the outside tomorrow more photos to come. Inside paint satin black. Outside will be gloss.

Yea do that to your l200. It look sick as. I would try get reset leaves. Or flip. I've gone with reset and got them made a bit softer which made the ride smooth. As for the front l200 is different to navara so I'm to sure.

I remember saving a photo of it just found it.

Sorry mate just realised didn't reply to you. 13x7 +7 offset. I'm going for a multi wheel look.

Yea that would work now just have to drink the contents of the can. Should be fun.

Just a few things I got to theme the car a bit. Asahi can for water over flow. And golf ball gear knob. Custom. Thinking of getting the big ass 2l Asahi can for surge tank. Don't know if the wof guy would be to happy with that.

Thanks man still loving your car.

Sweet thanks man. Will do that. He must be waiting to full the container. I know of a few other people waiting as well. Yea I saw them but I didn't like the look of them.

This is where I get my inspiration from. Anyone have any idea were I can find one of those roof spoilers?

Wheels from jp.

Those decals are awesome. Any chance you could take a good side on pic so I could get them copied. And gold for the centres red are cool but gold is better.

I feel like I've been waiting a life time. I don't know if that link worked. if someone in the know could help that would be great thanks.

Would anyone have any info on this cars history. Anything would help. Thanks

//oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/35915-kp60-nick-1983-kp60-starlet/ I never intended to own a starlet but when I got offered a swap for my rx7 that I wanted to rid of fast, I took up the deal. The funny thing is that I've only driven a kp starlet once and it was to work and back home. I guess it was love at first drive. My idea with this starlet is to show myself what I can do in the way of build and design. Rather than the normality of today were everything is bolt on and it's not about what you can do but how big your wallet is. My story starts with this Which then turned into this full engine rebuilt manual conversion lowered and wheels. This is when I got my first starlet. I swapped the rx7 plus cash my way. it was a 1982 KP62 4AGE with twin side drafts which are now on K2dori DX. I wanted to do an EFI conversion but found it was cheaper to buy a whole EFI motor than try and find all the parts separately. I sold this motor to a friend of mine's sister which went into a DX wagon and is now in my friends DX sedan. I was half way through EFI conversion when the deal of a life time came up. A fully caged full on race car shell (not rolling) came up on trade me $1 reserve which I won for $405. Went down to Vegas and literally picked it up. I don't have a photo when I first got it wish I did. Left it for about 6 months then started working on it when I got this parts car. This car came up on trademe it may not of had all the bits but it came with starlet LSD which I needed and it had all the rolling gear. But picked up a pretty cheap 4K motor 2 gear boxes and heaps of spares. This is when I first got the race car rolling. Transferred running gear from parts car to race car. Race car was set up for 4AGZE and was mounted about 100mm further back so they have cut firewall and have made pedal box system to run duel master cylinders and hydraulic clutch. Body has been fully seam welded, Perspex windows and alloy dash have been made. I wanted to put most modifications e.g firewall back to standard. Have taken all the steel I need from parts car. Finally got it rolling on 4 wheels the same with some T3 adjustable's in the front and cutties in the back and fitted some sweet mirrors. Got some wheels coming from Japan X2 work equip 01 13x7 with +12 offset rear. X2 hayashi's streets 13x7 with +7 offset front.

these are the gay 17s I was talking about above. I don't think I liked them because of there colour. Plus they made it about 105mm off the ground instead of 80mm like the 15"s do. Other than they could have been great the offset was just inside the guards all round. I did about 400kms then took them off and sold them waste of time and money. Sooooo now I've gone for the 15x8 steel wheels -12 offset I'm painting them black tomorrow. I can't go wrong with black.

It's worked. Here's a photo of the stickers that I went crazy with. Getting sick of them want to get a new grill a black out the front. Now that I've worked out uploading photo I mite start a build thread on the starlet. finally...

Just testing imgupr on iPad.

Sounds great man. Soooo different to the sound of jareds.

Back yard bar 630? Yea ill be there. Is that you David (ToyBoy)???

Sweet thanks man I need to come around and see this thing in real life.

Hey stan nice carbs who did u get them from haha. It looks good man were abouts did you get those tyres from? Need some for my 13s

Yea will do planing on doing a bit to it over summer so maybe a before and after photo shoot.

maybe. yea I did have you seen it around?

i havnt done much since those photos just 2 inch blocks ( which makes it 80mm off the ground ) full panel and paint shaved tailgate and went a bit crazy with the stickers. oh and got some 17's but the were gay so went back to 15's. had other cars in the middle which slowed down progression on this.
