+1 here for the Starlet Turbo. Owned one back when I was 19 (1.3 16v CT9 Turbo) and it was a rocket.

Stuck some coilovers on it, few external engine upgrades and it was a fair bit faster than my mates Pug 205 1.9 GTI (probably at the time the cleanest 205 in the country with 15k miles on it and some Webber carbs)

When I get home I'll dig out some old photos of it for nostalgia.
