Introductionary.

KP61 was the second generation of toyota starlet KP series. KP61 is powered by 4k 1.3L engine with K50 5 speed transmission. The KP series was first introduced in 1978 and i think im gonna cut the crap of telling the history of this KP series.

hi, i own a 1984 toyota starlet KP61 inherited/bought from my dad.
at first i dont really like the car that much until i took apart the interior piece by piece to do some DIY wiring job on it i found out this car has an FR layout! actually we can tell its an FR or FF by just looking at he engine position right, wht do you expect? im a noob and i hv lot to learn about this 4 wheeled thing.

after i found out it was a FR layout vehicle i decided to take it for a SPIN.. ahaha and i did do it. i succeeded doing some slides and i wouldnt call it a drift because i got no apex and i cant keep it at the same angle and it also wont rev higher than 5K rpm (due to the worn out 25 years old engine).

KP61 is not as good looking as honda civic type R or anything close to that, its a very old car and it has a class of its own and its better looking than most of your dates im very sure of that.
here is an early picture of my KP61 when i inherit it from my dad.



and now it is much better looking, and it need a serious body work on it.

after doing some google-ing on i found few local forums that support and they discuss about KP61 and all sorts of old-skool cars, this will help me on my project of restoring and maintaining my KP61.

every restoration process on my KP i'll upload on this blog.
and i really wanted to make it to look almost like this 1 :D
