Brakes:

07-11-02 - While I was waiting for brake parts I decided to go to my favorite junk yard. It paid off. I found a late production Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86). I pulled off the front struts, as they were going to be my first upgrade for the Starlet, and looked the car over. It had a T283 differential. Witch is a 4.30 gear ratio with factory limited slip and disc brakes. It's not much wider than the Starlet's rear and with some relocation of the top mounts it should fit fine.

01-03-03 - Installed AE86 front strut cases and brakes. ( For instalation details go to the suspension page.) I am still using the KP61 Master Cylinder to run the front AE86 brakes. There is more pedal travel and it's hard to tell if it stops faster.

03-15-03 - Stainless steel brake lines made for a mid 80's Celica GTS or Supra that just so happen to fit 85-87 Corolla GTSs. The set is custom made DOT approved by techna-fit specially for Cyberspace Automotive Performance. I installed the front brake lines. They fit well and the pedal is firmer. Bellow in the middle picture you can see the bottom line (Corolla GTS) is only slightly longer then the top (Starlet). I have not installed the rear center brake line yet. It doesn't look like it will fit. It's just a little short. I'll take a closer look at it later.

Braking improved for now lets make her turn : Suspension
