I kept this a bit quiet but I wanted bigger brakes so this is what I did:
Calipers: Toyota Celica twin pots (ST202 I believe)
Discs: 2005 Corsa C SRI 1.8 (260mm diameter)
Master Cylinder: Toyota Rav4
Pads: Brembo
So it started out I got the calipers from a celica down my local scrap yard and there was a starlet down there so grabbed a hub too.
The calipers share the same design in how the bolt to the hub so that was easy.
Discs were bit harder to work out, I use the PDFs from WMS brakes but non of their discs would of worked. So I took the measurements from the discs and hub & brake I had on the bench and did a little search to which I found Corsa discs. So went to euro car parts and brought a disc to test fit. They fitted perfectly apart the bore was a little bigger. Went back you euro car parts a gave the disc back. Which point I brought some EBC turbo grooved discs.
While I had the disc from euro I test fitted both my wheels which the purple CMS's only needed 5 mm to clear the caliper but the 3 spokes needed 13mm to clear. This is also the point I knew I'd need to look into new longer wheel studs.
I had two rings machined, 55mm inner diameter and 60mm outer diameter, this is to fit the the disc to the starlet hub to keep the disc central etc.
Painted and rebuilt the calipers with new seals.
I also had to change to a lower profile tyre because of how my car sits and with having to space the wheels out.
Saturday the brakes went on and I tried it without changing the master cylinder to which there was alot of travel in the pedal so Sunday I changed the master cylinder for the bigger one off the Rav4. Starlet bore of the master cylinder is 13/16 (about 20mm) and the Rav4 is 7/8 (about 22mm)

Basically, I've been sorting through all my starlet/car bits to which I come across bits i dont wont or need or have multiple of already. So what I was thinking if this idea would nice for the club. My idea is to have a table where if you have starlet/car related bits that you dont want/need you put them on the table to which there free for other people to take if they want/need it. This idea came as I dont want to throw away bits but there in my eyes not worth the time in making sale ads. What are peoples thoughts on this idea?

I found pioneer speakers fit in the front well and the standard parcel shelve with speakers. They sound really good as well.

Its the little bits that make a car, your car, do it your way. Don't build your car for someone else's like/way! Like to see what you do with it!

How does that work for the horn? My glanza I have a bit poking out that makes contact with the metal of the boss kit well annoying lol
Should have a metal ring on the back of the boss thats isolated from the rest of the boss with a wire leading off to put on the horn button. should look similar to that
