My friend's new Starion

A friend of mine just got this '83 narrow body turbo Starion, I couldn't believe the miles on this thing, just shy of 24,000











He also recently got a '77 Celica GT with just over 14,000 miles









Just thought you guys would like em

I need that hood for my 88!

We have an 83 that is almost the twin to that one, cept ours has tan interior, and gold wheels. Someone robbed the hood and put an 84 up on it before we got it

Clean *** car for sure, now swap that non intercooled turbo out for an intercooled one, and be amazed at the power difference, lol.

That car sure is clean enough to do a 4g swap. I'm doing one on my 88 conquest drag car, and my 87 conquest still has the 2.6 intercooled in it.

Those cars are so badass.

Oh, when you guys pull the old G654b out, pull the valve cover and see if its a non jet-valve head. If it is (which is should be, being an 83, unless the head has been replaced) a non jet-valve, he should sell it to me.
