  1. ill try to get whatever markings are on the calipers. Im certain the right hand side of my pic above is the seal needed for the st165 twinpots from a celica (cause ive used these before) so what are the other models that use this twinpot? Levin of some age? Phil
  2. Bought a caliper rebuild kit for my brake kit apparently st165 twin pot celica ones. This is the thread where I bought them from starbuck. Who bought them from shorty previous. Now firstly the reason I'm not doing this by private message or behind the scenes is simple,my lack of knowledge on the celica brake setups is completely my own fault and neither shorty nor starbuck have done anything wrong in all this. I'm just asking the masses and should anyone have any input it's very welcome. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/79086-for-sale-toyota-starlet-celica-twinpot-brake-upgrade/?fromsearch=1 Here's the pickle I bought a st165 rebuild kit and the seals for the carrier sliders are as per the right hand side of the pic below whereas they need to be asper the left (small seal that goes over the slider bolts and seals just between it and the caliper. Anyone any idea what seal kit I really need? Levin or different celica st version? Anyone with experience please shout already wasted 50quid on the seals that don't fit! Phil

  6. i wouldn't agree, and im not all that stupid. thats how plenty of people would describe a post like yours. thick & ignorant. As Dean in the orange car has said he knows what people will think of his car, and as Azz says above so long as your sensible when you need to be. Now im not saying everyone is sensible all the time, im certainly not. but styling that is lairy or garish looks the opposite of sensible all the time, nomatter how you drive. thats a fact. Im not saying you need to care, and im happy to see lots of people dont but your only driving your own car round its nobody else fault. Phil PS people sometimes say about anyone who drives quick 'they still have a bit of the boy racer in them' and they mean no harm its just how they identify people who like fast cars.

  18. Well i guess the starlet is my little hobby so my wife makes allowances. lol the house is a new build so may as well get the builder on the case while he is on site. Haha, the wife makes allowances but not that big. needs some garden left for Bbqs! Phil

  20. in the words of timon(sp from timon and pumba) WHATS GOING ON HERE. Phil
  21. True. Seen both give, but at 1 bar td04 and a decent tune you wont have bother with either. GT is thicker but seen them bend. Glanza rods are thinner seen them broken Seen both through the side of a block. get a good tune and use whatever engine you can get cheapest. Phil
  22. ^^ the stuff dreams are made of. Phil
