I always order my parts from either:

http://www.starletgtturbo.co.uk/

or

http://www.toytuning.co.uk/

I just ordered a full set of brakes from Dave Burwash (starletgtturbo.co.uk) - they arrived very quickly, and the price was great :D

Give him a bell, he's a top bloke

We tried a set of these on one of our cars and were not impressed mate. I would recommend the 3g range that we sell as they are top quality Brembo castings :D

I usually source front brakes from 3G, nowhere in NI seems to offer anything worth using. Dave will take good care of you.

For the rears I stick to genuine Toyota items. Can't go far wrong with them. If you need any help give me a shout man, Niall in Charles Hurst Boucher Road is well versed in these cars (been coaching him for years ;) ) and is usually the best man to talk to for Toyota parts locally.

Cheers,

Jay

cheers jay

Not too far away buddy, that looks like a glanza that Trevor brought in a while back. Nice to see a change from the regular black, white and silvers!

Shoot Mi16Chris on here a message, he can sort the belt and most other jobs you may need doing. The 4EFTE is a non-interference engine so if the belt breaks it won't eat itself thankfully.

All sounds good with your brake choices. Should make stopping a little easier over the winter months. :p

yes i got the car from trevor, i traded my 250bhp mx-5 for it not sure i done the right thing!! ;) :D:D

Look on the bright side mate, least you get a break from the hairdresser jokes. :p

Totally different cars so it's hard to compare. The 5's are seriously fun, especially when you add a charger to the equation! drive.gif

mine was turbo and done 1/4 mile in 13secs! gone now thats life :p
