Toyota Startlet Turbo (Ganzo)

[Davezj]

anyone had any experience of these cars.

1.3 Turbo 135bhp front wheel drive pocket rocket, quite light so bhp per ton is 150bhp. which is about the same as VR4 (standard).

friend of mine set his heart on one of these and i was just wondering if they were any good. he is a bit of a sarlet fan (somebody has to) he has got a starlet GT at the moment and wants a bit of a fun car in the new year.

Paul (K9ng) had one for his wife , used it on the track , quite a nice little motor for a toy car

Great fun little car with a few choice mods can make some good power.
We managed to get 211bhp out of ours with a TD04 Turbo!

my god that would be about 240 per ton.

very nice tracker.

anything to look out for when buying one of these.

I've had a drive of one of these once - not bad but if memory serves me correctly the boost comes on fairly late.
