    Finnaly sold My VR pics below, and have got a 1990 Toyota Starlet GT, its got the EP82 dual mode turbo(C9). On low it puts through 6.5psi and on high it puts in 9.5 psi.
    It weighs 840kg and goes heaps harder than my Vr.

    You have to be joking mate...

    What a downgrade! Im not one to be rude towards peoples cars, but what the hell... The VR was literally twice the car that POS it is.

    100kw and 157NM of torque... from a turbo 1.3L 4 cylinder... Lucky its light :p

    ^^^ Does not recognise a quick car when he sees one. Personally I think the fuel cost, less cop attention, and sleeper styling make for an awesome car. If I was in the same position, I'd probably prefer the Starlet. And you have to love 7 grand redlines.

    A lot quicker than your old VR but not as good looking.

    When i first saw the starlet i thought it was a Nissan pulsar GTiR(damn those lil nissans things fly!), how do the starlet gt's compare to the GTiR's?

    cheers for the comments people good and bad, its good to get peoples opinions on it. Yeah pulsar GTir's go off their head, na the starlet would not keep up to them, they have something like 200kw standard and are 4wd with a quad throttle body, they have the SR20det engine the same as 180sx's.

    yeah it is a bit of a downgrade, thats the whole point petrol was killing the bank account. except its 1990 model and has extras that the Vr never had and it was a 1995 mod. such as power windows cause im a lazy kent.
