garageSTAR KP61 build

garageSTAR · 05-24-2010, 03:09 PM

Here is what I have been working on the past year.

Paradise Racing Coilovers on the front and KYB shocks and TRD springs on the rear.
Japanese rear metal bumper. Still looking for a Japanese metal front bumper.
14x6.5 +10 Work Equip 01's
Tom's 360mm steering wheel with Nardi hub
AE86 GTS seats.

Future plans

Fender Flares
Wider wheels (don't know which ones I will get) maybe 13x8 Advan A3A's
4AGZE
GTS LSD Rear end w/ disk brakes
Rollcage
Fender Mirrors
Paint

Sorry for the shitty cell phone picture. I'll have more photos in the next couple days.

Sweet man. I look forward to seeing how this turns out

JC-MX5 · 05-24-2010, 03:23 PM

Do want! Looks good!

*edit* It's refreshing to see one without Puerto Rican flags all over it and a straight pipe'd 13b.

Took some better shots today. I need to send the rear bumper to get it repaired but I am going to send it when I find a front bumper and when the car goes to paint. The previous owner put this crappy exhaust on there so I am going to chop 3" off the tip. It looked OK when the USDM bumper was on there. It needs some work but it's fun to drive.

I like it!

But like JC is saying it's missing something!

I owned 2 of em' back in the day, the 4 dr. had a 3K motor and then I had an imported RHD 2 door with a 4k motor. I love these little cars.

Maikeru · 05-25-2010, 01:15 PM

I want one! They're really hard to find around here though.

Can't wait to see what you do with it. Should be good.

RWD_only · 05-26-2010, 02:55 AM

subscribed. I've always wanted a starlet.

morr · 06-03-2010, 01:56 PM

I actually like the car in it's current state. Can't wait to see the progress of this...

Sqznby · 06-22-2012, 06:25 PM

Yeah its an old thread BUT that is one bad ass car. I have been looking for one local with no luck.
That one looks great. Do you still have it? If so lets see some more shots.

garageSTAR · 06-22-2012, 06:40 PM

It's now Techno Toy Tuning development car. I plan to do a photo shoot on it next week.

got Rotary?

garageSTAR · 06-23-2012, 01:13 AM

No Rotory. We like the motor that is in there. Doesn't need to be fast to have a fun car.
