    Default Newbie with a KP61

    Hello Everyone,

    Joel here, dropping in to say hello. I'm in Sydney NSW til next friday, and am hoping to score a few 4AGE/AE86 goodies.



    here's my 82 starlet, named MeJulie. I'm in the midst of a boosted 4AGE build now, shooting for around 300whp.


    As you were...

    Oh yeah, what's the Japanese car scene like there? Many old Toyotas? Do you get hassled by the police for having modifications?

    Do you mind me asking what line of work bough you to Australia?

    21 questions mate! Hahah!

    Any more pictures of the KP?

    ah no problem at all! The japanese car scene in south florida is going strong. Lots of well built Evos and Sti's, the GT86 (we have the Subaru BRZ and scion FRS) is becoming more popular.There's a fair share of old toyotas, but most of them are imported from california. My starlet came from out there as well. Florida is one of those states that is extremely easy to have a modified car in. No state inspection, no safety inspection, no emissions inspection. Basically, if you don't act like an asshole, get caught hanging out at street races, etc, you can pretty much get away with straight murder. I'm here to do a stabilizer rebuild on a private yacht called Pacific. My company is one of the larger manufacturers of stabilizers for private and military vessel stabilization systems.


    if you have instagram, you can follow me, @sammakkoracing

    in the mean time i'll try to dig up some more pix of the starlet.

    Nice mate looks good! They actually make an 86 look like a large-ish car.

    300hp in a starlet? Fuck.

    Keep the pics coming. I wish we had starlets in aus. Even with a large port 4ag, they will still be quick!
    All that car needs is some 13x9 hayashi streets
