Old Skool Toyota's!

[ver_altezza]

Hi, thought I'd introduce myself......

Name's Oliver, Had a toyota altezza that I recently sold so have been on LOC for a while (replaced it with my scoob) and also decided to get a project car on the go and bought a kp61 1984 Toyota Starlet RWD. No real mechanic' type knowlege so thought the starly would be an easy start to the learning curve (carb's and all that) then I recently found a mint ke70 that I had to get as it was a loverly white and a 2 door saloon too.......

Anyway I've seen a few AE86'ers about on this forum and maybe a few kp starlet owners etc wanted to see if there were any other owners about ;)

ive got a kp61. got an 18rg waitin to go in it. need to sell my ae86 soon then buy an mr2 turbo and then ill start building the starlet, still need a good lsd live axle for it, not sure what yet, i was thinking of off road axles as they are strong and low geared, not sure about the weight though. needs to be wide enough to sit nice on a starlet with mk2 works escort arches and must have lsd!!! disc brakes ideally too.

hmm......18 rg? sorry dude but what is that from?

more importantly how much for the 86 :P

I'm planning to keep it 8vsingleohc 4k for that ole' skoo tyte yo!

18rg is the 2 litre 8 valve twincam 145 ish bhp standard out of the rwd celicas.

not sure what ill put the 86 up for.its an 1985 uk car. but its got the skirts/bumpers,lip+spoiler. its a really nice one, best ive seen in real life. its got sd cage dampers and springs all round, mint black/grey interior i went miles to get, took a whole day to drive there and back to get it!, all white. ashley exhuast with 3.5 inch stainless pipe welded on the back. central locking fitted good alarm with remote locking. bespoke induction piping with hks filter.14" enkei gold rims with a polished lip yoko a539 on front and nankang crap on back. its done 106,000.

wot du rekon its worth?

hard to say nowadays. really dont want to sell it but im only 21 and cant afford to insure 2 motors.

ke70?

yeah a few.......

shes immaculate and I've just waxoyled the sills and interior

Removed the plastic wing lining and put rust inhibitor on the arches and all the sills and front lower and rear lower bumpers..... then stone chip shield spray, undeseal on all the arches and in the process of undersealling the rest of the car.

I went miles and miles to get her deffo worthit as I had to get rid of the younger starly for her :( but its was worth it

Your KE70 looks beautiful...and ready for some serious (but tasteful!) mods!

Keep us posted on developments, eh?

I can vouch for the "MINTNESS" of the KE! I love it to bits! Havnt seen a classic Toyota in that condition before! Especially because it hasnt been bodged anywhere!
