Quick intro... and what month/year is my EP82??

[MWP]

Hello from Adelaide, South Australia.

Ive had my EP82 for a few months now, and while i only bought it as a daily (i have a different project car, '77 Celica), im finding im spending time & $$s working on it anyway.

Im having problems working out what build date it is though...
The Aus compliance plate in the engine bay says 05/1990, but everything else about the car says its >92.

Can you guys help??

It does, and im guessing from what people have said here, it is correct.

I thought it may have been >92 due to the info here:
http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/showthread.php?t=52
and the fact that a brake pad catalogue i looked at said i required >92 pads.

anyway +1 on the rallying lol nice dude! looks like you enjoy your car; and thats deff not bad!

Heh, thanks.
I wasnt rallying tho... i was out to spectate/photograph some though.
Just the roads to get there were pretty hairy.
Im used to driving my old shitbox ('76 Corona) to these events which i could thrash around on the dirt.... gotta be a little more careful with the Starlet

firstly welcome to the site.

maybe im barking up the wrong tree here and a little off topic, but you're car has a 17 digit chassis number, so surely it is within european standards i.e. not a grey jap import?
so does this prove that there were actually gt turbos made for the european market?
any thoughts and opinions would be good.

sorry for spamming you're thread dude

No mate, all cars have a 17 digit VIN number but they don't always use them as some of the figures relate to emissions and such.

The Starlet Turbo was not available outside of Japan.

The plate above has been added on it's arrival in Australia by the looks of it.

EPC says May 1990?

BTW, I would remove the photo of your chassis number/plate.
