I was out with my friend joe 2day lookin for a system for his car, and we ran into my buddy Big Mike(hez hudge, 6'3" and 260, hense the name). Any ways, him and his bro are starting a business where they are going to import cars from japan to toronto. Right now between us and japan there is a '90 Skyline GTR modified in a creat headed to his house. They are using it as an advertising method to bring to car shows. He asked me if i wanted to help the buiness in 2 ways. 1. would be helpin him get a discount on wheels and tires(just got a job a wheel and tire place), and 2. Me buyin a car/advertising. So i told him im on a budget/want somethin Toyota. So he suggested an old AE86 Torino, but 2 many ppl want them/know them so it would probably get stolen quick. He also suggested a 90 Starlet Turbo. He told me he could get me one thats got some performance mods, i.e. suspention, engine, exhaust, wheels, etc. for around $4500 CND landed. So i told him i would think about it. He already found one through his dealer in Japan. Its a 90 Starlet turbo, HKS exhaust, HSK SSQ BOV, lowered on a set of springs *unknown*, 16" after market mesh wheels, stock interior except for a Apexi AFC(the orignal with the dials). Its pretty good n damn fast for the $.

If i do decide to help him out, it wont be untill spring. So he wants me to think about it and figure out what i want. So heres where i need ur help. If you could get any JDM toyota car from 1991 and older, what would it be? mind you these cars are all RHD and they can be any car that was made in japan. Im thinkin the Starlet would be cool cuz they are a very unique hatch back, and are fast as hell. My friend just swaped a Starlet motor into his 4 door trecel beater. Its soooo rediculusly fast.


not the actual car, but an idea of what it would look like.









dont ask about the interior...

I'd get that Starlet so freaking quick. Man, I don't think it'd matter how much money I had, I'd get that thing. It's not AWD thought is it? If it was, I'd be wanting to figure out how to get one to the states. I just love those little fast cars. I wouldn't mind a Skyline either, just because the parts for that thing, and potential are massive. I'd still pick the Starlet though. Don't feel to bad about a AE86, unless it getting stolen is a big concern.

Yep Bulldog, the starlet gt are not awd, they are front wheel drive.
