My Rare As F**K EP71 Starlet Turbo S

Well, there's all of about 3 of these in WA (Saw another one today) and with the demise of the 15 year rule it looks like that's the way it's going to stay.
Mods:
KYB shock absorbers make this car the best handling vehicle I've driven (and I used to build minis) with RS*R drop springs bringing her closer to the tarmac.
A TRUST stainless steel cat back exhaust, while extremely quiet, keeps the restriction to a minimum.
A HKS turbo timer keeps the stock ceramic turbo from melting into a pile of sludge after those hard runs
A set of "drift spec" japanese light rims drop the weight, with some lower profile tyres helping the handling along.
The factory boost controller has a dash mounted switch which allows the driver to select between 4 and 8 PSI, with a factory boost meter lighting up 8 little bars to remind me that the little CT12a is ready to go at about 2500 rpm.
All in all this car is a hoot, I've had it for about a month now and it's still shown no sign of understeer, although it's going to need a new clutch in the near future.
Planned mods: This year: Dump pipe, shielded POD. Possibly SAFC2 piggy back fuel computer, more boost, or:
Next year: complete ECU (Microtech Autronics or Apexi)
Rising rate fuel pressure regulator, bit more boost.
After that: Considering a swap from the current 2E-TELU to the newer twin cam 16V 4EFTE from the later starlets, complete with a T28 or 25 garett ball bearing turbo, forged pistons, rods, cams, whole shebang, looking at at least 250hp.

Nice ride. There is a navy blue one in my town. I see people laugh when they see Turbo written up the side. Probably wouldn't be laughing when it flys past them 
Cheers

The condition looks fantastic. That dash cluster looks rather similar to an ae82 twincam. The motor is so small the battery looks almost as big! haha

I got it for 4500, desperate sale off this very forum.
I wouldn't part with it for less than 6, even if I did desire to sell it, knowing now the condition it's in and what's been done to it.
*SUPREME HANDLING*
