Ive been looking around on the net and came buy these old skool starlets. Big things in America in drag racing. They are RWD from what research i have done.
anyone have any info on these?
I think they came out with a 4kc motor.
Were they bought to Australia?
im sure someone will no the ones im talkin about and post up a pic.
thanx

Yes, I'm here. 
I think I may have the only KP-61 Starlet in Aus. There might be another one or two, but they're certainly VERY thin on the ground in Aus. I brought mine back from New Zealand from when I lived there in 1998.
It's taken a lot longer than what I wanted, but it's still slowly getting together. Much more progress in about two months I think, with painting shortly after that.
Here's my one when it was stock -
It's initially getting a ~180hp 4AGE, then when I finish it a ~240hp 4AFE, then for fun a 7AGTE 20v.

ive seen awesome circuit racing and rally ones. and since then ive wanted one! i think they were older than bill's one because they had a different front.

Three basic styles of KP6* starlets (last number, 0,1 or 2, is engine size).
Bugeye - 1979-1980 has round headlights.
Non drop hatch - 1981-1982 has square headlight and a flat grille.
Drop hatch - 1983-1984 has square headlights and a sloped grille. Tailgate also goes down between taillights.
Lots of other minor variances, see the Club K link above for more details.
