Buy and test Wanna know also where and what to buy my boxy
-
Found few EP70 body parts and 2E/4E engine gaskets etc from some collector, bought all of his parts, for future. Very hard to find any parts here in Finland :/ Going to buy more EP70/71 cars if possible in future, so never know if needing some parts...
-
My friend made me spacers from old Starlet disks. Just good thickness to get caliber carries to fit middle in EP70 hubs. Also holes fits perfectly, bit heavy but better than some washers, and totally free spacers.
-
My 6x14" Compomotives, want to use these beautyful made in England alloys on my boxy. Levin 275mm brakes coming, looks big :/ No chance, fuck, I was hoping that these will fit inside, but you can see from bolt pattern and hub hole that wont fit. So have to use Renault 15" steelies or TTE wheels I just bought to my EP91, color gona be same gunmetall after painting. Bought these from Ollis "Whitestar" Glanza. My other EP91 project, just testing wheel offset.

New raised Starlet, don't hate snow, but it will slow down my plans sometimes Sometimes can do my car at work, started to parting out it little bit. Tooked rear bumber away, had to bend brackets, specially left one. Some previous owners have hitted bumber little, cover is okay anyway. Left bracket, weird shape compared to right? Right one. Found some rust also, I swear that this wasn't this bad before last winter, damn salted roads :/ Here on corner also, added some sealant, because there was hole... Ripped rest of interior away, central locking, car alarm, rear harne

Got new front signal covers from Toyota, I ordered those before MOT, but got those after that and I loaned one yellows from my friend, own are tinted. Thinking to mold those and make clear signals or using E7 Corolla clear front and side signals... Not so cheap ones, but original for cleaner look, old ones are sandblasted :/
-
Found Your project, didn't find any front lower arm support bar pictures, said in my Artic Granny tread that You are using newer model P8/9 part. How is this project going, new pictures?
-
So it fits, thank god I ordered it, thanks for info. I may copy it, so original could go to my EP91 maybe. Are you using farb also, fits okay with that also?
-
Then purhased 16mm rear arb from Ultraracing. It takes maybe six weeks to arrive to Finland, they have to make it first or something. Long time for next summer, so can wait, also to weld attacment brackets first to rear axle, so axle thing have to wait painting. And also front EP82/91 lower support frame is coming next week, wanted that modell if adding some front arb from EP82/91 modell. Maybe have to modify it also, don't no yet, does it fit close enough, don't care because I'm gona paint those anayway, hate that white color if aiming to granny sleeper look. Thats why wanted more sleeper
-
Edit hassling...
-
Next part was new Honda Civic radiator, for hot days on track Have to modify it little bit maybe, so cheap basic radiator anyway. Don't konow if I'm gona use it on EP70 or EP91, which one gets turbo faster
-
Created Ebay and Paypal accounts, internet game begins :/ Purhaced Powerflex antilift kit from some guy, for EP91. I have new arms waiting, but maybe I'm gona install those to my old arms, hopefully rear bushings will fit to EP70 arms. Don't know are EP70 arms front bushings 31mm or 34mm, have to measure first before buying, these are maybe 34mm?
-
New seats to my car, gona take old MR2 SW20 seats away and put these MR2 AW11 seats. More 80's look, later maybe gona do full interior anyway, so rear seats will match to front seats. Almost 30 years old seats and condition is like new, 100 euros for both, not bad I think...
-
This newer modded EP91 rear axle and panhard rod has waited long time bushing to arrive, those tooked maybe five months to arrive, wtf, very fast made Powerflex :/ Winter came to Finland and I have driven car sometimes, hard times to build car in parking area.
-
Nothing big haven't happened lately. Car passed MOT and I changed newer steering rack from EP91 for my car before that. One day before mot, steering started to make some noise, wtf, car is not even 30 years ild and now it started. Found problem and regular plastic bush was making the noise. Better view of steering rack. Still goin strong, after 29 year. Then I went to Toyota askin new parts, still few available. Wanted to buy new rubbers and mounting brackets, but those are discontinued :/ This bush tooked maybe month to come from Japan, not so expensive luckily. I have new aftermar
-
Horrible job to sort out only engine related looms from EE100 Corolla, trying to do simple 4E-FE swap to EP70 Starlet, keeping part of original looms for lights, wiper, blower, clocks, etc. Free bump for your services, sounds cheap when thinking how much time these kind of jobs takes, not for beginners.
-
Remember that this is my daily car and not only car, I have few other cars also to build :/ Living with my 12 year ild son together, have help him with school and football hobby (driver), have to work at least 10h a day, sometimes longer, fixing my home sometimes, girlfriend lives 100km from my home and we see almost every weekend No good garage and not so much money, cars comes after everything else, so don't except too much on this building tread, I try my best Thanks for kind words anyway
-
Ball joints are different angle, defenetly will affect everything. Other arms are weird shape also, not looking Starlet arms.
-
No gold, too Subaru Dark gunmetall like this, gona maybe use same wheels sometimes on EP70 and Paseo maybe. What did You maerijn did in Finland, collecting some car maybe? I live near capital Helsinki, in Vantaa, 170km from Tampere. Did You went by ferry to Sweden or Germany?
-
Started to sand these by hand, horrible 2-3h job at least per wheel :/ Using 320 grid paper, hard shit this powercoating. Gona change colour, this pepsodent green isn't my colour for this car, have to get more universal color for my all Toyotas, maybe someone is guessing what is my color?
-
New tyres are coming from Camskills, 195/45R16 Uniroyal Rainsport 3. And new Tein lowering springs, hopefully little bit lower than now. Saving my moneys for EP70, Meisters please santa claus This shit is so fatty that budget springs is enough now.
-
Tooked tyres away and did good wash, overal powercoating in good condition. Maybe from year 1996?
-
Started to fix panel screw holes, all cracked and not fixed well. Earlier fixed over with plastic padding, didn't hold at all when I knifed those little bit. Cutted cylinders also away, so can glue some better system wider area, so panels will not drop ever. Have to figure something later...

Wheels came to home and unpainted center panels also. Wheels are powercoated and panels are plastic so not powercoated. Some scratches on them, don't care, gona paint those anyway. 155/80R13 vs 195/40R16 My last summer Renault wheels 195/50R15 Not looking good as Ollis car :/ What a tractor :/ Offset is maybe just perfect.
