Nope they are certainly not. Plastic imitations that clips over your standard calipers. Looks good from a distance. Every Yaris, Jazz, Vios seem to have them.

It does have a proper brake conversion though, E-Spec not Brembo.

^ my g/f's car doesn't have a brake conversion. I was talking about that red Yaris!

I haven't bothered to collect the Yaris yet. Waiting on the insurance and tax.

Here's my pick-up though.

99% of anything with Brembo stamped on in Thailand is fake, as Peter already pointed out. Thais are fake and they love fakes. I though you knew this already tuddy?

There was a Swiss guy, front name Dominic, who was in Bangkok, he had a proper eddy current load Dynometer built in OZ ( not a crap interia Dyno) , and all the stuff with it, AF analysis etc, The important thing was he really knew his stuff on tuning and automotive electronics, He designed and built new EFI control module that increased power on the local diesels. WE used his dyno on bikes occasionally but he had a falling out with the Thai garage owner and had to shift his Dyno. anyone know where he is or what happened to him?

Never been into the Hot looking street racer thing, in fact just the opposite. I drove this around in NZ and Australia for 25 yrs, had a succession of progressively bigger motors but ended up with a twin turbo F1 6 Litre Chev motor and drive train.
Perfectly stock looking inside and out apart from retro style wide alloy wheels painted to look like widened stock wheels.
Gave the wankers in their hot hatches and Subaras a fright when this 2 tonne 60+ year old car blew them away.
