the quiet achiever

really would like to give this a go but it looks so complex! wat do you mean by make a donut and this part :the spigot on hub &disc are different sizes so machine a donut up to centre the disc

machining tip :machine to press on hub &it stays on hub when you remve disc or machine to press in make the spigot adapter to fit tight on hub or disc so if you take disc off the adapter stays on the hub or it comes offwith the disc

after trial fitting new parts I found I had mis calculated the hat/offset by 3mm no biggy I just shim out the caliper to centre on disc i used a couple of thick washers &longer mount bolts

can anyone do this or is it something a specialist would need to look at? i have a small lathe so i make my own stuff but any engineering shop can do it

hope that clears things for you

cheers josh

so what i need st185 calipers.. 318 bmw disc's.. but i dont understand what i need to modify to make them fit ?

kurt

hi

there is no modification needed it all fits on like an OEM set-up

the only engineering required is a shim/ washer under caliper mount because of miscalculation in measurement &a spigot adapter to centre disc on hub

does this make sense

lyle

hi all

i finally got it all together &revised the twin-pot caliper/disc upgrade without a spacer

hope it helps those who are having problems

thanks lyle

hi

i have previously stated & PM`ed sme of the guys i have successfully made a kit up with the ST-185 twin-pot calipers with-out the need for longer studs &spacers

good news i have fitted &road tested the set-up now what a difference

will put up a new DIY guide soon

can show you how if interested in the mean-time

lyle

hi guys

just to check we are all talking about the same thing

i have measured the outlets ep = 28MM

civic = 32mm

i`m using the samco kit will the silcone soften when hot or stretch more

i just been trying with some lanolin spray

lyle

hi

got my civic rad & jezza`s mounts fitted but find the civic outlets are larger than ep size

what do i need to fix i had a new set of silicone to fit as well

is it easy or expensive ??

thanks for help

lyle

hi

from the posts it seems you guys only have rain or snow &not much dry weather were more lucky where i am its wet season or dry season with the odd cyclone during the wet for good measure

lyle

hi

i noticed recently somewhere on a forum that somone was considering a 5-stud conversion on a starlet

WHY?? what are the hidden/ perceived benifits of this conversion ???

is this reality yet

comment or constructive advice

lyle

delivery is very much weather dependent but only delayed by a day or 2 hopefully. Don't know how long it will take to aus though.

Not a prob jackstar. Add your name to the list. Payment details on first post.

for a minute there i thought that i was going to miss @ xmas time

should only be about 10 days once you make it to the post

thanks lyle

and cause of the weather arrive next month

nice one jezza cant wait to get them now

hi

does this mean no xmas delivery

or am i reading this wrong ???

lyle

hi

as stated previously they all seem to come from china anyway so i settled on an australian ASI e-bay model $96.00 free delivery . they seem to have a good rep over here

thanks everyone for comments

lyle

hi

the civic radiator is a popular radiator upgrade in the starlet

who has used the chinese e-bay sourced radiator in mod or has any experience with these radiators is there any benefit in the 3 core over the 2 core ??? is quality good or shocking ??

or is there a better option??

any comment good or bad

thanks lyle

hi

wanted / wanted to know what is available in splitters /lips or what ever there called for frt/rear of a N/A starlet

is there something off the shelf or are they mostly custom/ modified jobs ?

what is being used ?

lyle

hi no snow or cold just hot &wet alternating most days

lyle

hi

thanks guys for the replies but i already gathered that a bit of P& P will be of benefit . i was more interested in what the differences in C/R`s are between the 2 heads & any othe variables

i have a set of V/springs &billet c/shafts i was going to fit to my STD head , but will fit to this head instead if it can be proved to be a worthwhile up-grade
