whitestar Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Cool build, I like the colour Is the ep91 brakes a direct fit on the standard ep70 hubs?And what size discs are you running? Thanks mate! Yeah EP91 brakes bolt right on. You just have to space the discs out 1-2 mm with big washers or a spacer plate for them to clear the calipers. That's the only thing that has to be done for them to fit. I'll add pics in a minute. I use standard EP91 discs, don't know the size. Love this thing, top work! Thanks fella! Very nice project, i had seen some pics on instagram Cheers! Nice to hear it caught your attention. Lovely little project. Looking forward to the updates Thank you! More coming in a minute.

whitestar Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) Ok, some more progress. Brakes assembled and ready to go in! Old manky brakes. No brakes. Newer not so manky brakes. Work in progress. So I thought the new pads were too thick as the car was really hard to move. Turned out that the offset on new discs was different to the old ones and that's why the discs caught on the calipers. Put in some thick washers under the discs to clear the caliper, should be only a temporary fix to get the car inspected. But now it works! Assembled the front. Alpha horns show quite nice behind the grille Drove to a near by gas station to get some fresh fuel and took a few pics. Turned out pretty nice I must say! <3 Front lip still to go on! Covered the shitty and ruined door cards with black fabric. A bit better now. Also put in the seat belts. Only thing missing now is the new tacho meter I ordered. This one's from today. Got the emissions test done and booked the car for inspection on saturday, YAY! So, more news after the weekend I guess. I hope they're good!

whitestar Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) Ok, one last set of pictures for now! Propably have to wait until spring for something new as the car is now on a deserved winter sleep. So the front lip was still to be modified to fit. I started by cutting it in two as it was waaay too wide for starlet's front. Had to cut the under side of the lip a bit to get it bending right. Started drilling the holes one by one and guiding the lip a bit by bit to fit good. I put a screw into every hole to keep it in place. Holes done for the left side. Next was trimming the lip to center of the car and doing the other side just the same. After getting the lip trimmed nicely and mocked in it's place I took off the screws and riveted it on. The seam in the middle wasn't going to stay even, so put in some zip tie stiches with blue ties. Sits pretty nice. So, booked the inspection for the car for this saturday. Swapped the winter tires on from my yaris and headed to the inspection. With mixed feelings. Inspection went quite ok! Just need to fix some more rust, but it still passed. Looked so awful with the yaris alloys. Swapped the bandeds on in the parking hall where the car stays for the winter and took loads of pictures. This is the spot where she's going to stay until the spring comes. Blanked on, sleep tight Mintlet! And the last one for comparison where it all started and where it ended for this year. I still have loads of plans, we'll see what 2017 brings. Can't wait for the spring! Edited November 12, 2016 by whitestar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Next summer this car gona get more attention than Your Glanza or Yaris Thanks buddy. You have to update your rides too, haven't heard anything for some time now. Coilovers weren't marked on the papers yet (a nice inspector ), going to add them next spring. Also I have to get the sills welded at some point as he didn't like my quick fixes. Yaris gets maybe oil change and sold probably Glanza is probably getting forged internals and this one the new sills and a clutch. :DD Dude that looks so good! That colour really makes it! Cheers mate! I like it too, although the paintwork is shit but i don't care as long as it's mainly one colour. looks awesome you should be proud! Thanks, I am! Nothing even near what you did on yours though. :thumbsup:Good thing I don't have to get rid of this so maybe this will be a minter some day too. It looks really good, do you gonna keep the 1e engine?I can't wait to work on mine, i still have to wait one more mounth Thank you! Yeah 1E for now, maybe upgrading to 4EFE at some point and turboing it but that'll have to wait, my glanza needs attention big time soon. Can't wait for spring to get this on road, wanna go "breaking necks" asap! Looks so cool! Well done man. Thanks! Appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre98 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 If you have priorites, that´s how it should be, 4efe is an upgrade that i would like to do but for now i still have to buy tyres, suspension, and finish more things, and mine was upgradaded from 1e to 2e, a 4efe even stock makes a ep70 funny xD i want to finish my car and use it for daily for now, and yes, you have reason starlets breaks necks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whitestar Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 The budget build has gone more and more out of hand and it peaked a few weeks ago when the car was asked to be part of Finland's biggest car show American Car Show / Tuning Car Show 2018 in Helsinki Follow me on Instagram if you already don't: https://www.instagram.com/ollyollee/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
