Starlet Owners WTK

How would Starlet owners rate their cars in terms of enjoyment, maintenance costs, availability of parts etc. I'm considering getting one as a weekend car, something for those North Coast runs ( not into straight line *drag* driving), also how costly is it and what is needed to get the engine to about 185bhp? How much would a stock EP82 sell for now? Opinions are welcome

a friend got one recently....40K with a front cut included in the sale....car pulls great.....way better than my A33......185bhp.....hmmmm a lot for a little 1.3l i guess a better turbo, intake, exhaust, some tuning.....internals may need upgrading, but if it is upgraded then 300bhp would be possible

to get to 185bhp wont be that hard,
injectors, FMIC, TD04 or T28, with a extractor mani and a 2.5 exhaust complemented by a Greddy E-manage Blue and yuh there....
the one down fall of the stock starlet engine in my opinon is the ct9, its small, too small, a ct20 should have been on the engine from birth...

1) there are many on the road that suffered the crash and swap syndrome, try to avoid this
2) bringing down one and "buying rights" is illegal, try to avoid opening yourself to possible seizure
there's a good one on the forum for sale for $35K if anyone's interested
