the starlet is an ace little car, whack some buckets and half cage in there to sort the interior and you have a nippy car, few little engine upgrades will; gain you 180 bhp

Give the choice.........hands down to a starlet GT over an XE or a LET
So much more potential and after seeing this one at Japfest piss all over Scoobs , Evos , Pulsars and Skylines i would not think twice in having one.
Ok this one was set up for track with slicks and totally stripped out (FMIC has been painted black to hide it )

3 of my mates also own Starlet GTs. I'd definately give them the thumbs up. Have you seen the flip painted one around Maidstone, Sunny?

The Gt is a bit faster than glanza due to some differance in gear ratio but they are older very very common herein malta , no rob do not do it than you risk I pass with a diesel hehe!!

not that i can remember arnie, i wouldnt mind going out in one first before buying one tho. this might sound a bit ghey to guys but i'm not so clued up, whats the advantages of a FMIC? standard, they sit ontop of the lump with the vent feeding the air, and if u mount it on front it must get more cool air. is that it? whats the IC for?

Yep 
Editedto say: the power is more usefull in a Starlet , whats the point in a let if you get no traction , plus a starlet will eat a let round a track.

Are you going to PVS? My mate who owns a GT is coming up with me so you can talk to him about them then. I'm sure he'd take you out as well if you wanted.
