Looking good man, I got a quick question, would you be able to tell me if them supra brakes at the rear are straight fit in your motor or do you have some fancy adaptors to make them fit to the hub I got all the callipers and disks to go on my car but have been holding back to fit them, also are your brake shoes modified when you take the disk off?

thanks

@ASIM2JZX100

callipers go straight on... but you need to cut the dust guard down... and as for the shoes im not to sure matey...

[steveboiboi]

not updated this for a while....




but basically got a missfire again.... not really looked into it to much... just moaned about it...


fitted new discs and pads on the rear

rear caliper broke... and drove like 200 miles on it.. not a good idea.. every time i broke the caliper would swing around and grind the wheel...

pretty stupid of me to be honest....

heres a video of the movement... you can see the groove cut in the wheel... (click picture)




got a new caliper...







kinda dont want to paint it as its to fresh to... but its odd so sometime ill have to..















brought some wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels.. for the rear. rear arches are in a state.. over fenders missing ect..

work equips 18x10 et-18














arch gap kills me everytime i look at it... but should be getting metal rears done sometime.. and ditching the over fenders and really need to source a pair of stock front wings...



ohh and finally ordered this roof lip



think it will look the titties

[steveboiboi]

REGARDING THE REAR CALIPERS DIRECT FITMENT! its not the case....

ok so a few updates...


the new calliper i put on....


it fell off....

and heres why..

the new calliper came and i bolted it up and swapped it... drove allot on it...

then one day hear a nasty noise... stop have a look and the callipers off and being held in by the wheel again...

got it home to sort it and some how i had managed to get a 8mm bolt to hold in a 10mm hole.. twice... when i fitted the calliper done it up tight ect...

but luckily i still had the old calliper and some much needed adapters which i didnt realise i needed.. but its obvious now..

how the mk4 supra rear callipers come





took the original pressed bit out (pretty easily pushed out)



comparison between the two







so they were pressed in and all bolted up and not had a issue since...




THEN.....


shit went wrong...


no excuses... and dont moan and bitch (oh you retard) I KNOW!













so basically... its coming off the road for a while.... got a unit sorted out so ill have a dry place to work on it/sort it.. think i may well have sorted all the parts.. but not had a proper look at the damage but from what i could see,

lower arms both sides..
ns drive shaft..
hubs..
3 wheels possibly 4..

and maybe other bits..

but yeah... and to top the night got sucker punched clean in the side of the head by someone about 4 times the size of me! good stuff..

[jayzedex100]

Tough looking car man. Sux to see it damaged like that. Looks you're capable of repairing it though.

Why did you get punched?

[steveboiboi]

walking through a club... someone was being a prick and trying to get in my way.. i stick my arm out to walk past.. not even looking at them or starting ect.. get socked clean in the side of the head/top of the jaw... uncalled for.. just someone looking for a row.. and me being unfortunate..





and yeah think i should be ok fixing it ect... but its just at the moment the unit we were ment to be getting has pulled out at the moment... so kinda screws it up at the moment...

heres a crappy video just to fill the page with other than just writing

[Bennyg]

car looks sick, fix it back up and keep on thrashing!
