a bit pist off

[Tintin_SR]

ok so for bout a year now i have wanted one! its the genuine Toyota 3 point strut braise,

i have been looking for one fro a long time now but i finely got one and its in mint condition

it was siting in my room for a week or two and i thot i have nothing to do lets fit it so went out and try ed

only to find that the F***ER don't fit, only one bolt hole lines up it sits at a weird angle and whan you do get the two sides on ( with one bolt linen up each ) it hangs over the spear wheel bit meaning that its useless as a 3 point!!

The word 'Starlet' points to the back mate.

Studs might not be there on the UKDM though.

it wood not fit that way round

[Sparky]

It might be for an EP82 mate

[Tayyib]

it should fit, may need editing a little, never done one, but wont be much trouble to get fitted, if u cnt be arsed u can always sell it to me. lol

[Tintin_SR]

don't say that

lol i can see me getting the welder in to it

[Tayyib]

dont dive for the welder, give it another go before damaging it, or just wait for someone who has fitted one to explain how its done.

don't worry thats why i posted it and didn't do it

[Sparky]

Not seen one in a n/a as I was told they dont fit because I was going to get one

Need to get the mount oout of the floor of Glanza and weld it in I heard

[scutch0]

its a raised plastic piece that runs aross the base of the back seat, without the plastic bit its useless. and yes its should be fitted the other way round.

[Idrees]

As far as I know it will not even fit the UK Spec Starlet. The Glanza and later GTs have some sort of metal plate which the bottom of the brace bolts on to.

You might be able to get it to fit with some modifying though.

[Glanza_Ragger]

EP82 braces are slightly different bolt hole layout to the ep91 brace bud.

Thats an 82 brace im sure, im 99% sure the ep82 braces have that starlet plastic bit on them.The ep91 braces dont, there just plain metal bars with no plastic starlet cover bit.

Sure other people with ep91 rear 3points would verify.

You can just drill the holes out slightly for the strut mount, and get a plate made to bolt into.Either paint the plate or get it polished or chromed

Where did you get that from bud? I'm pretty sure all three points are the same.

This is one in Glanza..

[montanajr]

Sell me it for £15.

[Idrees]

Naa, sell it me for £15.50

[Stevie B]

no matter what its for, ep82 or 91, it will fit, i know as i swapped my old one with a mate who had an 82, but the way you have it lined up in the pics is the "wrong" way round

[Spoonz]

the starlet "word" faces out so you can see it from the back (looking into boot u shud see the "word")

They are the same has glanza's one theres no differance.

You need the plastic that gose along the floor to bolt it in and you mayneed to modify the top the you can mount it on top of suspenion (you know what i mean not the actual suspenion the body)

[ecksjay]

its the wrong way round, for a start, as people have said.

and they all come with the plastic starlet bits, if they're missing then they've just fallen off, its only held on by one screw.

[StarletRick]

you have this problem on the mk 1 GTs.

the struts bolt the other way round and you cant fit the brace. i had this issue myself when i owned a GT.

its the reason why cusco etc make the braces with 4 holes. to cater for both sets.

i never knew the UK ep91s used this pattern though.

the way to get it to fit, is to re drill your strut tower to accept the bolts the other way. then reposition the topmounts on your suspension.

this is however, annoying and time consuming. and they dont really offer too much in the way of support. they are similar to the stock front bar.

you should sell it, and buy a strut bar.

if you want, ill get you a cusco one. and well do a straight swap.

sound ok?
