  1. Youd have more chance finding a celica one. There all the same fit but starlet is short, paseo is the same or shorter and the celica is plenty long. I put a bicycle brake cable into my starlet throttle cable when I needed a much longer one if thats any help

  2. Aye man starlets dont really rust. Grease your brake pipes including the fittings and the rest will be grand until the summer. Your bonnet and front cross member will suffer more rust than most parts. A good powerhose around the back arch folds and up round the suspension tops should keep you right.

  3. Youtube it theres loads of really good videos with diagrams. Bu basically it lowers the rear of your wishbone which changes your something. Imagine a car on standard suspension accelerating hard, the front of the car lifts up and the wheels may even spin. Now with a antilift kit the car wont lift away up as much and the weight stays over the front wheels for grip. Now thats only using the spacer plates (10mm) If you also fit the castor bushes you can move your rear wishbone bushes towards the outside of the car, only 10_15mm but that makes a big difference. You know how a gokart handles, it wants to drive straight all the time and when u steer it straightens up really quickly again.. Well thats how your starlet will handle. It great if most of your driving is over 60_70mph but if like me your on twisty roads all the time alittle extra camber and a good alignment is plenty.

    I had the kit on my last starlet for years and years and years and I totally loved it and would reccomend it but for the comfort in a daily driven country road car with not much power I havent bothered fitting it to this one.

    I should warn you though, a few of us have broken captive nuts in the floor trying to fit these kits. Its not the kits fault but sometimes, for whatever reason when you try to remove the bolts in the floor the welds on the nut breaks. You can remove the carpet, scrap away some sound deadening, enlarge a wee hole and reweld it etc. Now this has happened like 5 people in the whole entire world but I feel I should warn you of the risk no matter how slim.
