- 4AGE Black Top powered KP61 Starlet Rally Build.
While there isn't much Barry Brandon (aka Brandon Barry) can't do underwater, in this weeks Vlog he runs us through where he is at with his dry land built 1984 KP61 Toyota Starlet rally car. With most of the work so far being done to the rear of the car he gives us a quick rundown on the 4-link suspension and Watts linkage he has opted for in order to squeeze 15" rims under the car which also required a lot of cutting and the fitment of wheel tubs to accomplish but all of this did allow for an extension of the wheelbase at the same time.
The power steering setup from a 2010 Toyota is discussed including the interesting point of how Toyota still uses the same spline making it an easy fit and why he as chosen to position his RaceTech RT4100HR seat so far back into the cabin. The position for the Life Racing D5 Dash is already good to go while the car waits for the front end to be finished and a Black Top 20 valve 4AGE to drop under the hood.
At this stage the 4AGE was chosen due to the aftermarket parts support helping keep costs down, the 1.6L capacity keeps the car in a class relative to the level of the build and they're quite simply great engines.
An ECU hasn't been sourced yet and there is a lot of wiring to be done down the line too, but it's all starting to come together for Brandon and he's looking forward to hitting some rally and Hillclimb events around New Zealand.

Nice Build, more episodes please!!!!
Good work 👍
Cheers mate!
Great job.
Good idea Good Work I Like Your HP Academy From Pakistan thire we Don't HAve Any Idias And Solutions Thanks Love It
Cheers mate, glad to hear you are enjoying it all and we really hope it helps you out 😎 - Taz.
I should get my dad to watch this...
Driving his 82 everyday from then, and to this day.
😃 ¡Awesome Rally proyect! 🚙
I show You a Drag Racing Kp61 STARLET of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Island.
Awesome starlet. Love the starlet. More episodes of this car please.
KP61 was one of the fastest car on the mountain especially narrow road. 35 years ago, my 18 years boyfriend had it and was driving it at Mt Rokko at night. I was only 17 and used his KP61 for my driving lesson, I learned very quickly. I miss Japan.
I love KP61 cause its a rwd :D
Brilliant man, got to admire your vision into this wee project, so glad you got the chance to share this content with everyone.. your a smart lad and hpa must be honoured to have you with them. Looking forward to seeing more on your build ..🙌
Thats a awsome build, snd great to know the splines for the steering colum havent changed since 84 hahaha thats gold
I'm hear because I own a kp61 keep up the good work fellas.
Nice work Bruce, thanks for showing us your car. Looking forward to some updates
Wonderful build. I use to have a kp61 and it was such a neat and light car.
Looking forward the next episode. You can talk about engine/gearbox choice and relocation.
Good idea pushing the seat back for a front-heavy car.
Awesome stuff.
Great stuff 👍
nice work!!!
love starlets
great vid, more like this plz, cheers
I understand Brandon better then You Andre xD Not irish at all, or he was trying to not sound like one. Awesome build, everything is where it should be, has a purpose, very nice i like it. Would like to see more of it.
Very clever 👍
awesome! keep it up!
There’s a good thread on old school about the estima f series diff and why the axles aren’t ideal to be shortened. Cool project and that accent isn’t even thick.
Bonito video agalo en español
Exellently explained. I can understand you better than Andre!
Genuine question = I know it looks better but is there an actual reason everyone orientates the dimple die swage inwards on parts? Especially like in the cross brace under the car as you have here?
I see it a lot and wonder (especially with an off road vehicle that will be smashing through dirt and mud etc) if it would be better to have them pressed outward allowing endless evacuation of the rail instead of becoming a perfectly designed area to collect/trap debris and moisture etc.?
Obviously aesthetically, inward looks much nicer but sure function would outweigh form under a car?
Not judging, genuinely interested?
Secret Squirrel maybe to avoid a sharp edge being exposed?
waiting for more episodes on this kp61
Still in the fab stage but I'll give Brandon a nudge. He's widened the tunnel and pushed the firewall back, mounted the suspension and fuel tank, plus cage off the cuff but it's slow going, like any good project - Taz.
I was down in the workshop a few months ago before lockdown, with Andres mate Nick. I had a brief look at your starlet, I find this a very interesting build As I am also building a track starlet. Although mine will be powered by a 1UZFE. I hope you don’t mind, I am going to copy your watts link setup. I am very interested to see some more of this project!
the UZ fits in a starlet? what a build mannn
The Irish guy's accent is the most comprehensive
He's Irish? Honestly he's been here 2 years and I still can't understand a word that man says 😂 - Taz, jealous Kiwi accent holder.
Fantastic episode there guys I enjoyed it!! I was just wondering If you guys would be doing one for Andre being a parity manager, and about the old STM workshop? I do hope that you guys are keeping healthy especially during these uncertain times. Cheers!👍 looking forward to more fantastic content.
Thank heavens for subtitles. Suggestions for a third name?
More episodes please
Amazing bra
Chur
Good man Barry👌🏼👍🏻🤙🏼 I'd build the exact same rwd rally car starlets are the lightest and only few inches shorter than Mk2 escort . But Fwd is faster on the tarmac 😋😉
Nice project. Have you ever seen or used a Mumford link. Bit more work in it but it allows a very low centre of gravity and tuneability 👍👍👍
Nice Build do you have any updates on the build, very keen to see how it has progressed.
Great build thus far. Could you Explain a little bit more about the electric power steering conversion
Thanks
Cool build Barry!
Are you going to widen the track up front?
If so, how will you do that?
Cheers
If you mount both ends of the watts link at the same height (halfway down the shock travel) you also have parallel arms, but the lowest point of the car would be higher
Awesome build! I've got a 1979 Volvo 242 GT that I am planning a similar treatment for. Can you recommend any shops in North America (Canada specifically) that supply the suspension brackets and bars?
Whatta! That’s a RH drive Silverado!
Yup! Other than interior lights falling out they do an OK job converting them in Australia for the Australian market. Love the truck for towing, flattens out the mountain roads - Taz.

Much love from San Diego Ca!! Keep the starlet and other content coming.
One of my favorite rally moments was a finish toyota starlet( group H) on tarmac. I think it was a 1.6 and going 12000rpm or so. It was destroying anything in its class but for some wrc, 911 gt3 and some other crazy group H cars. I think the starlet finished 7th overall
Throw up a link to more info on that event if you can find it, I'm sure anyone else scrolling through would love it too - Taz.
👍👍👍👍
Nice I did almost same mods f series diff with altezza lsd ,please give us details on front suspension setup, I replaced all with ae86 front setup
Great video. I have a project Starlet I'm building. What windows/glass are you putting in on the starlety? Are they custom, factory?
Hi guys, been looking into going Electtical steering assets, do you know the resistance range the rack is looking for? And also do you see any value in the reduced parasitic draws from not running the power steering on the aux drive?
That's a very cool build with very nice fab work, can't wait to see an update on it
What's going to happened with the front suspension? I'm guessing it will be modified somehow for more travel
He's got shocks for the front too. There was a very long wait to get them which is why nothing has been touched there yet but they're next on the list I believe now that they have arrived - Taz.
What's going on with the slot at the rear of the car? Was that just to slide the floor in and out during fab work making it easier? Is he grafting on another rear panel later? For the body kit, will the car get fibreglass flares or will he fab steel ones to meet the wheel arch extensions? Oh and one more, the gearbox, sequential or some kind of T50?
Apologies for all the questions! I love a good KP rally car.
Chassis rotisserie. You can see it in a shed in another video a few weeks back.
@@tvanduyl I know it's been spit roasted, using the existing bumper mounting holes, but if you watch from the opening shot there's a slot about an inch wide just below where the boot shuts and it's the width of the car pretty much.
Where could I purchase an F series diff and housing ?
What's up gang? Did
Why did you decide against a triangulated 4 or 3 link configuration? Interested in hearing more about the damper assemblies as we will be doing something similar with an s30 Datsun chassis.
This setup is very common on classic rally escorts. 4 link and 3 and links are adequate for straight line drag racing or off slow off roading. In rally the suspension is working extremely hard trying to keep the wheels on the ground and maintain traction
2011metalmaniac I don’t understand your comment given that what is show in the video is a 4 link configuration.
@@NoClassic yes you are correct however it is a parallel 4 link set up not a triangulated type. A watts linkage has better control over lateral movement of the axle in cornering. There would be no need to triangulate the 4 link if the axle has a watts linkage
@@2011metalmaniac Yes I understand the function of a watts link and triangulation in terms of axle positioning. Your initial comment was confusing.
@@NoClassic ye re reading my answer i can see. i was trying answer your original question. In summary then the lateral control of a watts linkage is superior to the lateral control a triangulated system or 3 link set up could ever offer as those later systems allow for some side flex which you dont want in a rally car.
Any update on the Starley?
Nah, Brandon was going to take it to work for Christmas holidays for a few weeks but fell off his bike and hurt himself. He recovered then on New Years he hurt his wrist 😂
He needs to work out something though otherwise he'll never finish iy and we all want to see him enjoy it 😎 - Taz.
The Anglosphere is cursed by accents
lol what happened at 12:24
Someone running through the shot. It's bad enough at events let alone at the workshop 😂 - Taz.
What's up with the starlet
Waiting on some more funding before Brandon carries on with her I believe. We really need to get him onto a nothing but 2 min noodle diet I reckon - Taz
Lol. I fully understand.
Any updates on this?
Slow progress on this one. Brandon has had some other life priorities he's focused on at the moment. It is back taking up a car park at work though which gives a semblance of action 😂- Taz
@@hpa101 Does he have a build thread or Instagram page? 😁
He has an instagram page, but he doesn't use it often. Feel free to apply some gentle peer pressure 😂 - instagram.com/barry_race_works/
Starlet rear axle mounting ruined ...
What did you do differently with yours? - Taz.
