>tfw you'll never find or own a Toyota starlet.
>tfw the US doesn't have any other good handling rwd hatch.
Has /o/ ever seen one? Maybe one day I'll be cruising thru some back roads and find one outside a trailer.
>toyota shill threads are racking up in the containment page
thought i just hid the last one and boom here's another turd

Plenty of them here in northern yurop.
Have had a few trips in one, there was nothing impressive about it. Guy took it up to 180 km/h, felt pretty dangerous at that speed.

Haha sorry. I'm a BMW fanboy. Could care less about mr2, 86s, etc. This car just seems so badass. The fucking think weighs like 15-1600 lbs fully loaded. Fucking ludicrous.

You can import a 1.3t engine from the Starlet and put it into a Tercel or Paseo, wouldn't be quite the same but it would still be fun.
>Starlet
>good handling
they are fucking awful unless you throw money into them
>>16276960
there is usually 1 or 2 on las vegas/socal craigslist

This video is from Levi rallysprint. The driver is then 16-year old Riku Kankkunen. He has a uncle called Juha, connect the dots.

Finns make the best rally drivers.

Starlets don't rev above 3K
no thanks
>>16277279
That's why 4age swap. Most I've seen have a rotary in it.

>shilling a 30 year old car no one but OP cares about
Do you seriously think this?
>>16277377
I have a 4a already in my shitbox. When the body goes on it I'm seriously considering just plopping it into a starlet.
>>16276960
underpowered anemic 3K(1200cc) but can straight swap 4/5K (1300/1400cc) but 5k getting thin on the ground now but 3/4/5K unkillable.
last toyota fartlet in RWD. the late trevor crowe(NZ race driver) powered his with a v8!

>>tfw the US doesn't have any other good handling rwd hatch.
But it literally has Corolla Sprinter.
How can Toyota even compete ?
How come the US hate the Chevettes?
Aren't they basically Opel Kadett C?

>>16278883
they were absolute shit
considered one of the worst cars ever
>>16278903
Kadett was shit stock as well. But the platform is easily reworked. Being basically the same car, I guess lots of parts are interchangeable.

>>16278939
no one cares about that kind of shit in the US
the best thing a Chevette gets is a V8 swap
>tfw the US doesn't have any other good handling rwd hatch.
>the best thing a Chevette gets is a V8 swap
This is why we cannot have nice things
>>16277969
Sprinter doesn't count it's more like a fast back or something. I wouldn't count a 240sx or celica as a hatchback. Same type of thing.
>>16279009
I forgot about the Mazda glc. The early ones were rwd with a 12a. Pretty fuckin cool if ya ask me
