Mikko, the starlet evolution continues. What a transformation! Toyota would be proud of this build. Well done 👏🏼

[@jamiehodgins7439]

Looked like a really good run Mikko, car is nicely balanced and looks to have plenty of power, awesome work

[@VHTRacing]

Thx, yes it is getting there. Slow progress. Next new brakes and #1 engine 🙂

[@pdterre5496]

Awesome result and great footage Mikko! Going to see if I can make it out to one of the races next season. Would love to see this thing in person.

[@VHTRacing]

Ich weis du liebst deinen toyota starlet. Und darum liebe ich dich und dein auto !!!!!!!!!

[@atolfree]

Well the Starlet sure looks like the handling is nicely dialled in & some very tidy driving to go with it. Well done Mikko on a great result 🙌

[@VHTRacing]

Thanks! (y)

Hi Mikko, great race with the new engine and well done video. You can see that the Starlet still has a lot of potential. But you did it just right and approached it carefully. Hope to see you at a race this season.

[@VHTRacing]

Thanks, yes need to take it carefully at this point. Smiles per kilometer is already very high!

[@flacopicaron]

Great work and proyect. greetings from Chile.

[@VHTRacing]

Thank you very much!

[@juststuff5216]

I wish Toyota would market this car!

[@VHTRacing]

Yes would be definitively great. GR Starlet 😁

[@LRonkainen]

Loved the video and watching the starled run again. Was anything broken or bent from that crash?

[@VHTRacing]

I removed the drivers side rear hub and checked and tightened everything. Only brake disc mounting bolts were loose, but could be that they had been. Right side they were not so hard to say. Also had to change wheel speed sensor as it had touched the trigger wheel and had some material removed from the tip.

[@MOSSFEEN]

What a Fucking BEAST WELL DONE

[@VHTRacing]

Thx 👍

[@Zinnaberrot]

Upein Starlet maan päällä 👌🏻

[@hristotonchev8602]

is the old 1600 engine available?

[@VHTRacing]

Yes it is after a rebuild.

[@hristotonchev8602]

@@VHTRacing Do they sell

[@VHTRacing]

Yes the old engine is for sale after a rebuild.

La preferivo con il 4age da 11.000 rpm era una emozione sentirla ...

[@pigpig71114]

最初改用V8時，經常在高轉出彎時甩尾，不時要作出較大修正，效果不太理想。 今次片中明顯有改良，應該花上不小心機調校克服👍👍

[@missionimposibal9934]

Super. Sehen uns sicher in Eichenbühl beim Bergrennen 👍

[@raufsahin334]

😘😘😘

[@tisoyt.henares8833]

Great build but 4AGE was an optimum set up. Hope you can solve issues and perform better than the 4AGE engine

[@VHTRacing]

Better? I was 25seconds faster with the new engine than the old 😆

[@aflo661]

Nothing not to like about this

[@juuhaa1]

Kalle R vois haluta kokeilla😁

[@VHTRacing]

Kallelle on aina tyypit jos vaan paikka järjestyisi missä se onnistuisi. 😊
