Red is identical to speed. The value was reason for 

Hendra supraga,Pompi satria, Lia yahya and 

Bowo purwoko , four Indonesian Starlet 

Club ( ISC )members to paint their starlets red. “ Actually they want to 

buy the original one - like in How starlet are you ad.- too bad it’s not

available in local showrooms ”, said Dhanang geviarto , chief of ISC.

After win Sentul’s drag race championship in class 3.2 

( 1301 - 1500 CC )Bowo resign. “ too bad if daily consumption 

car used for race all the way “ said this long haired young man. 

So, the car now focused 

to hang outs. But still, the engine can’t be left standard. 

“ I use 2E with cylinder

head and axle crutches re-balanced and also TRD pistons , 

Two-doors grand touring Toyota starlet is the role model 

for the modifications. Air scoop, fog lamp, grille, bumper and lip 

spoiler used 

GT turbo ’91 EP 82 version, imported straight from Japan. 

Even have to wait for 2 months and 10 days, it’s really

 are for something. The order

was fit to his car. The problem was just show up when he put 17” 

Brabus monoblock III velg. “ Not just 

So that “Touring nuance” more shown, it must be 

shallow and rimmed. 

Front spring is cutted two screw-thread, placed with TRD 

street use Shock-breaker. Back spring left standard with 

Honda Nouva shock-breaker.

The most important thing, of course, paint it red. “ In the commercial, 

starlet is always red “, said Bowo, “ to me, personally, Touring-look 

will look much better with red color! ”, From it’s original 

Black diamond changed to Super red ( Standox ). But Bowo 

not satisfied yet, 

“ I think it could be more “fresh” “. From standox catalogue, 

he choose Robin red.

Unfortunately, the plan is smell by Andre and Lia, His teammates, 

“I note down the series first, 

and paint my car before he did, ha .. ha .. ha .. ”, Andre -Lia’s 

boyfriend- recall. At the time, Robin red is quite new. 

There were only two who order it. Bowo stay with his color

 “ would be ridiculous to have the same color “ he said, then he put 

permanent wet-look coating he saw in an exhibition .

To Lia, The red she “stole” from Bowo is just for refreshment. 

Before Robin red, She already paint her car Brilliant red ( Sikkens )

from it’s original Metalic grey. “ from the beginning, I want my car red 

and shallow & rimmed “ Said this girl who 

work in travel bureau in Tangerang.

Her car’s experience is almost the same with Bowo’s. 

Before modified like what it is right now, the car was used 

for drag race consumption. 

“ That time, Lia was study in San Francisco and 

I was just going to follow her “ Andre recall, “ as a farewell party to

the club, I race with the red in National Drag Race ’97 series 7 “ , 

after return to the motherland, they feel pity for the red,

 “ it left without anyone taking care, no blower, air conditioner, tape ”

The restoration then begun, They take it to Presto paint workshop. 

The old paint was peeled off, and paint it with Bowo’s choice 

( Robin red ). Lia put extra-large Winnie the pooh sticker at it’s ….,

“ Actually, I want to have it air-brushed “ Said Lia who is big fans of 

this honey bear. “ so, I bought a special sticker from USA 

that if peel off won’t “scratch” the paint “.

With bowo’s recommendation, Andre got GT Turbo ’91 EP 82’s 

lamp and grille. To have the car shallow & rimmed andre use 

terra spring cutted one sreew-thread and mixed with Monroe

shock-breaker.

For the finishing, Mercedez-Benz’s 17” velg scrap with 

Michelin pilot ZR17/215/40, “ The consequence,
