Hi All, I am interested and have got a 1996 Toyota Carina 1.8sxi (AT191) with &A-FE engine...I think its the same as newer 1.8Si I have no experience with this engine or car so I need the following information to help me. 1)Parts availability 2)Economy of the 1.8 7AFE engine 3)Maket value for a good condition car without repairs with 148,000km on the clock. FZ-series(GA series) 4)How dependable is this model(does it have any known issues) thank you all Randy

Yes true..I have a 1mb which gives me 80-95kbps on download

Hi Guys, Is there any place in around Colombo to get sensor connectors (wires) and relays refixed to original condition, since I have broken icv valve sensor connector wires broken and also engine oil indiactor wire broken. Well its a starlet GT. Does pala auto does this kinda stuff. cheers Randy

If I had the kinda money u have to buy a car I wouldnt go round asking people whot is best..rather would just go around and bought which I simple wanted..I am sure u dont have any problem maintaining either if you could afford to buy any of these 2! And am sure u will only visit the agents ..for repairs..and most hpefully U could hapily afford it!

hi Muchung just to know what is the 0-60 in this car..well I made a few minor customs adjustments and mine did 6.5sec 0-60(changed to irridiums,replaced to K&N filter,replaced coil, dizzy cap and rotor and did a proper tuneup. and also a weight reduction of spare wheel..all turbo IC stock

Oh Yes..and if anyone of you wanna import goahead anddo so..but only via ebay! the tax is just 60%(max) for Photographic material..usually its 20%..andyou know whot I got one passed customs for free!!(without any tax)..ifyou wanna knowhow!!!PMme. :angry-smiley-048:

:angry-smiley-048: :D :angry-smiley-048: Well said..proud to be a starlet owner!

What Gihan said is correct! no point using plugs other than what vendor recommends straight outta Japan. But if you can get the heat range and gap proper its good if u can afford it too..its more invulnerable to oil..with and engine which has spark issues..the plugs although wasted will run good for a long time..I have experience in this! whereas a normal plug would just die out..other than that I dont know if there is a performance gain!!!! But remember Iridium isnt god! these plugs die out too.

Thats seems true..I ve got down Irridium plugs, Dizzy rotor and dizzy cap from ebay for ma GT all arived without any issue..all from USA. took 12 working days!

Hi Guys, If you know of a plcae to buy this brand new/recon pls lemme know.I am in desparate need for a starlet GT Ignition coil..dunno whether the ep82 one will fix one to one. pls lemme know... thanks Randy

I dont think so mate...this is my second Mazda earlier I had a 1.3 it did around 8-9 with ac now i drive a ec-at 4 1.5 it does even 9km/l-max 10kmpl this is when i only drive on 3rd or 4rth..but when most of time driven inside col it'll be max 9km/l which is normal. Mines tuned with new plugs,air filter etc.and I dont carry any passengers..so I dont belive mazda's doing more unless its a manual!

Hi Mini, Since I couldnt find one already ordered a brand new..but now car in at home resting ive removed the old its gone for a six..is it okay to fix a recon since my old cap I saw points were all wasted..luckily I found a brand new rotor from toyota lanka..I have the sample with me so no issue with checking compatibility for recon.. By the whereabout is EURO NIPPON.. thanks lot Randy

Hi all, My distributor cap is busted...where can I buy one for my GT? Already checked with GS, TAAS, Toyota lanka..not available..any other place to buy? Please share info since I am desparate without my ride.. thanks. Randy

Hi, Here are the details for Starlet GT(135BHP)Map sensor: 12/1989 > 05/1994 - 89420-10020 05/1994 > 01/1996 - 89420-10050 Toyota UK cost for this is £220.20.. I recently went to GS Motors and bought some parts worth 78,000 for my GT..except for Stabilizer bar links luckily TOYOTA lanka had it..they whacked me 3000bucks for 1 link..still I think its worth..since its MY GT after all!! Here the list which I bought for my GT -Front n rear KYB hard shocks -all front lower arm bushes -Front links -Front rack ends -Front ball joints -All oil seals including Gear box crank etc -K&N filter standard box I also achieved better boost after K&N filter..try to get one Rs:9000 bucks and 1,000,000 mile warranty. So try with GS..u might be lucky too..!!!
