The front suspension is all still starlet based except the legs that are mk1 cortina as they fit onto standard starlet steering arms if you elongate the holes slightly. They were built by Leda, back when they were still in business, and used by a mate in his starlet that he used to race in the 750 championship.
I also moved the shoulder forward on the anti roll bar to give a bit more castor and used some eccentric top mounts to get a bit of camber.

The brakes are wilwoods that i bought secondhand. They had been used on a radical race car but are the same as you would fit on a capri leg.

Lovely little car you got there i looked at a floor mounted pedal box but as im 6.2 tall i was short on space!

Heres a couple of mine after a 18month rebuild must update my old thread on day soon !

Re: Toyota Starlet kp60 race car

I pondered about the pedal box for a long time as im also 6 foot 3 and starlets arent the biggest of cars! As no one sells one with hanging pedals and it looked like hardwork to get an escort one to fit.

Yours looks smart, you rarely see a mk1 these days. Is that a 4age on webers?

Re: Toyota Starlet kp60 race car

Looks like Vauxhall to me to but looks like another awesome car.

You can modify an escort pedal box (not that I have done one but my friends race car has one on)

Anyway couple of action shots for you Nelly.

Mine is in bits at the moment rebuilding the engine forged pistons steel rods different cams and head re-work

Shes got a c20xe vauxhall redtop on 45's, tran-x T9 5 speed pro box to a H/D 52" atlas semi floater. Im running a escort bias pedal box but as it was a bare shell build i made a section and stitched into the shell so a unmodified escort pedal box bolds straight in no fuss even around my electric PAS, tried throughout the build to adapt the shell to accept escort bits where possible so if i run into problems on event i can go begging in service and not have to put it on the trailer !

I should have recognised that shouldnt i!

Re: Toyota Starlet kp60 race car

I did consider engine options when i started building the car but even on big carbs a 4k would prob only be 120bhp. i dont think that would have kept up with your crossflow!

I realise im gonna be bumped up a couple of classes because of the engine but if the rest of the car is good this year i will probably build an engine over the winter. I think 180bhp is fairly realistic from a basic build so that would give me a bit more of a chance.

The top mounts were an ebay bargain. I had to buy the unidentified struts they were on but for a tenner it was worth the risk.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but...
I dont suppose you have anymore info on the top mounts you had on this car do you, im looking for some just the same! Thanks james
