Mart Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Ok Guys, Another bit of an update...The Car got mapped a few months back,Myself and the mate dropped our two cars down to West Coast Performance to a guy called John,Sound out lad and was well friendly and seemed to know his stuff quite well.I told him I was looking for the map to be more on the safe and reliable side rather than the biggest power I could get.So the car was set on only .85 Bar on standard 95 octane juice and was set up only on AVCR and SAFC.So it made 178 at the fly, 147.7 at the wheels at 0.85bar on 95 oct juice.Which I was quite happy with so more to come with some better management.For the last few weeks we have been a bit busy.With the extra power my standard brakes weren't up to the job and my SR Rad was starting to shit itself so I had to get to work on these...First I got some nice calipers from a GTR a year back and now with my Standard Brakes starting to go It was time to got onto my mech's machinest... First of all I had to get some extra long wheel studs. These being a bit of a kick in the rocks to get a toyota fitment we opted for some Nice Ford Rally ones as we knew these wouldn't be likely to snap off so easily...With a few templates later and some sweet engineering the machinest designed these Custom Spacers out of Aircraft Metal...Then going back to my mech he managed to custom fit these baby's on... We had to change the Rad aswell so we ordered a nice new black one.And here it is again.We also adjusted the camber in the front and rear...And here are the pics of the new discs and calipers fitted. 275mm, 25mm width vented Discs with extended lines and new fluid.We had hardly no clearance between caliper and rim... Haha Hope you like them.Sorry again about the late updates but were moving along slowly... Mart... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Brakes look awsome man they cost alot including all the bits for fitting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mart Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks for the feedback guys.They took abit of custom work alright Sicaln.Front and rear custom brackets had to be customed made from a spare hub I had lying around just to clear the calipers length alone.Then we needed some extra long wheel studs and same pattern bolts, so we opted for some Ford Rally ones. Bit of adjusting, wacking and welding later on they went. Even after fitting the calipers are only a few mm clear of the rims... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mart Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 have you done the rear ones too then?fancy making up a second set?!There was also custom spacers made for the rears aswell and extended bolts, nuts etc put on but she's still running on the drums bud.The custom spacers above in the photo are a spare set and the extended bolts etc were gotten from a motor's shop close to us.I got the calipers over a year ago on parts breaker site so I honestly don't know how hard it would be to find another set SiCaln.You might be able to pick up a set of calipers on Ebay or something! I'll see if I can get a bit more info on the calipers if you like. I am in love!!! seriously! lol xThanks very much Jade.Your car is looking well also.MART!Bloody hell!!! knock me down with a feather! smack my ass and call me Fanny!!!! talk about coming out the woodwork man!!!!f**kin great to see you updating buddy! its about time!!!some awesome work there as always man!!! keep it up!Phil.I know Phil, I had to get back on track again.
