The Different Starlet N/a's

[lushious-luke]

Hi all just wondering does anyone know what the differences in the starlet EP91 non-turbos are?

There is:

• Starlet CD
  
• Starlet GLS
  
• Starlet I
  
• Starlet S
  
• Starlet SOL
  
• Starlet SOLIDA
  
• Starlet SR
  

Just wondering because i want a starlet non-turbo then swap the engine to a 4E-FTE lump,

But i wanna know what the differences are?

Thanks Luke

dont know much about the ep91's but pretty sure the SR's are the top spec non turbo's and are slightly faster than the rest of the range ?? they also hold their value much better than the rest of the range available, or so iv seen.

The gls is top of the range with all electrics etc,the sr's are the sport range models which come with all the tte bits and speedlines,hard to find a good one

[shinystarlet]

the SRs are no faster than the bottom of the range starlets no change in engine spec thru the ep91 n/a range

cd sportifs gls an the SRs are top of the range most sharing same extras except the tte products which can only b seen on the Srs :)

hope that helps

The SRs are no faster on paper and in a straight line but take it down a winding B road........

As regards the conversion, really depends what you want but you will end up uprating the suspension, brakes, etc so it will make little difference. The SR has a nice rear spoiler, bigger alloys, rev counter and a back box.

Consider insurance:

A= Modified cars get a premium increase.

B= Standard cars don't - ie standard GT turbo

If premium of A > premium of B = buy B

ie if the insurance of a turbocharged SR is greater than a standard GT turbo, its more sensible to buy the turbo.

If the premium of a Japanese Import is greater than that of a UK car, but the cost of a modified UK car is still less, then consider turbocharging a UK spec car.
