JamesD89 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Discontinued by Toyota now, I have checked in Japan and there's no stock anywhere. Has anybody had to use any universal stuff that was a good fit or from a different model possibly? My drivers side one has snapped and looks awful. Any help appreciated?

burty Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Good luck mate I've had a right job getting one ended up coming off a breaker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same part number as EP91 starlet. Might be easier to find off a breaker as above. Amayama are listing them as available but that doesn't guarantee it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesG Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Yeah, these are listed as discontinued on amayama now too. Sad times, was hoping to pick a fresh pair up for mine . Edited October 26, 2020 by JamesG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Another starlet tax on this part from breakers now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sad times, was hoping to pick a fresh pair up for mine . This is the game with 20+ year old cars unfortunately. 😪 Aftermarket maintenance parts and tuning parts supply are usually ok for years but unique O.E. parts that are model specific become harder to find. It's part of the reason I sold my previous weekend toy. The manufacturer was pretty good and offered a backorder system for NLA parts but it was quite a wait until enough orders were placed to then manufacture the next batch of parts. The problem is modern cars don't do it for me but atleast you know the parts are there. Edited October 27, 2020 by Claymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Time to look for something similar size now as alternates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know you've been to the ends of the earth rooting through containers to source parts for yours, great commitment. As long as I can finish the project its all good. I've been through it once before already but its the way with all cars of this age. I dread to think the difficulties for the EP82 boys and girls out there. But a honda civic type r ep3 seems like a bargain, if you can find one without terminal rust! I was also looking at a fiesta 1.0t ecoboost to build before the starlet, would have ended up at 180bhp (briefly) and had the nostalgic hint of the daihatsu charade gtti engine wise. Too modern but easily maintained at least Edited October 27, 2020 by Claymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been all over country for parts off to Birmingham this weekend fingers crossed I've got some gutter rails myself few months ago as I knew they was discontinued incase mine snap then at least they can be pieced together /plastic welded No no no not the starlet the gutter rails as in alternate similar size ones that may fit off another car don't you be going anywhere just yet your knowledge is needed here 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I try my best. Almost tempted to buy another starlet spares or repairs to frag for parts for mine but I can't bring myself to take one off the road if it could be saved! Edit: Just phoned Toyota to order some nuts and bolts to fit some fte brackets to my engine and guess what!? One of the nuts is NLA but you can still buy the bolt, yay . Hopefully it's a standard thread bolt. Edited October 27, 2020 by Claymore parts avaialbility Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Thompson Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Looks like I’m not alone, was just about to post on here to see if anybody knew where I could get them from. Im desperate to get some so I can put the windscreen back in 😩 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202621931887 This 12mm trim is sold by the metre and is available in black might look terrible might look spot on cheap enough to modify to fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Thompson Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks burty. I’ve just managed to source some second hand ones that the bloke assured me are in perfect condition for £28 posted, so I’ve took the punt and hopefully they fit fine 🤞 if not back to the drawing board 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Thompson Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 With the only issue of my old ones been that they’re about an inch short at the back, I have thought if these ones are also to short that I could try join my old set and new set together by cutting them in the middle... but that will be my last resort 😂😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
