Hello everyone!
My name is Sergio, I’m from Spain, I was born in 2000, and I’m new here. I’ve been following this forum for a while, and I finally decided to register to share my project and learn from all of you.
I’ve had my car since October 20, 2023 (my first car)100.000Km. Currently, I live in the Netherlands with my brother due to work, and we needed a car for daily use. After looking into several options, we finally chose this model.
In Spain, this car is quite rare, as it was never sold there. So, for me and some other people, it’s a “strange” or uncommon car to see. That’s what makes it even more special for me!
These are the specifications it had when I acquired it
Exterior
•Custom lip kit, including side skirts
•Toyota Paseo wheels
•Lowered 35 mm
•19 mm RPE rear stabilizer bar
•25 mm RPE front subframe chassis brace
•Daihatsu Sirion brakes
•Daihatsu Sirion roof spoiler
•Black grille
•Toyota badges
Equipped Interior
•Black headliner
•Divisible 6-point RPE roll cage
•Honda Civic EK4 seats
•Short shifter
•Original Momo steering wheel, lacquered in piano black
•Oil pressure gauge
•Tinted transparent sun visors
•Pioneer radio with Bluetooth
•Built-in subwoofer, trunk-lined
•Original clock and cup holders
•Spare wheel in the trunk on a stainless steel mount
•Rear seatback removed due to the roll cage present
Equipped Engine
•4EFE Toyota Starlet throttle body
•Polyethylene engine mount bushings with Euro 4 catalytic converter (200 cells)
•RPE tubular exhaust manifold
•2-inch stainless steel downpipe and exhaust, equipped with a new original Aygo rear silencer
We’ve been driving this car to work for a couple of months now, and honestly, zero problems. I knew I would need to do a few things to it (the instinct of a “carguy” who can’t stay still).
As for the paint, it wasn’t bad, as the previous owner (RPE) said, but it needed some care in that aspect. During those months, besides using it for work, I’ve also taken it to wash and go for a few drives around the Netherlands, near where I lived. I love the Netherlands; it’s beautiful in every way: the people, the streets, the visual appeal, and the nature.
It doesn’t seem like it, but a little snow has fallen
Due to the limited time we have, I haven’t been able to do much to the car. I just added
•Yellow lights (to give it a bit of a classic touch) and a
•Fire extinguisher (just in case)

We didn’t know what was coming, as it was going to be our 'last Christmas.'
Our company had decided to open in Spain, more specifically where we lived (Sevilla), and we had to leave many things behind. Exactly, we had to move again to where we really live.
