Earlier this year Mikko Kataja from VHT Racing put his Toyota Starlet race car on the dyno to prepare for upcoming races. The naturally aspirated 4A-GE inline-four made 255 horsepower at 10,309 rpm on Aral Ultimate 102 octane fuel. The motor is paired with a Sadev six-speed sequential gearbox, carbon fiber driveshaft, and AE86 Corolla GT rear end with Cusco LSD. Watch Mikko compete at the KW Berg-Cup Schottenring in Schotten, Germany.
The video below is from inside the Starlet on training run #4. This was Mikko’s fastest at 1:24.583.

Thank You
Wolfgang Maike
I own a Starlet with a turbo Ed Suzuki and it’s fast
But this car is another world
That gear change is so slick and that engine is pure Ex Formula Atlantic sound
Great piece of driving
And a really good looking car
