mart1 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 if you imagine the GT4 has 300mm discs and 4 pot calipers to stop 245bhp and 1300kg. the caldina is 260bhp and around 1380kg and uses the same rubbish 275 and twin pots that are found on the non turbo gen 6 St202 and 170bhp.Here is the link of the brakes I'm considering getting, £650 I think that's a good price and with He'll braided hose kit too.http://www.freakyparts.co.uk/epages/es120337.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es120337_es124285571161/Products/Celica_1Piece_Superlite/SubProducts/Celica_1Piece_Superlite%5B1%5D-0001
Pikey009 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Yeh I mean I've upgraded to twin pots on the SR and they're good on that but can't imagine they're any good on the caldina. You might be able to sell them on here though. Yeh I too had a look at those and the wms kit but just couldn't warrant spending over double the amount than the Levins. Will work well on yours though
mart1 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 Thats an idea, How much do my brakes sell for plus mine haven't done that many miles.Not getting them just yet it will be towards at the end of the summer, in the mean time I have to not get to close to cars haha
Starlet__SR Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 Don't spend too much, you're only gonna want to sell it when you see something else lol
mart1 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 I'm keeping away from looking at glanzas for sale haha
Starlet__SR Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 I'm keeping away from looking at glanzas for sale haha It's unavoidable lol.
Pikey009 Posted April 9, 2016 Posted April 9, 2016 I'm not sure if they're a direct bolt on mate best asking Russ or Morgey as theyre v much in the know about the different set ups. If they're useable then maybe around £150 as someone will need to sort discs for them if they buy them. I think you should just keep it mate
mart1 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Posted April 9, 2016 OK cheers:-) well I haven't got any plans on selling now and more money I put into it the more I want to keep it.
mart1 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 Absolutely lovelyhave you seen the manual one on eBay?
Pikey009 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Not too bad is it but nowhere near as tidy or nice as yours. If you're was a manual I think it would've sold right away
Starlet__SR Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Not too bad is it but nowhere near as tidy or nice as yours. If you're was a manual I think it would've sold right away Would have been mine haha
Pikey009 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Lol think I was the first guy to contact him but I just couldn't convince my lass :/ still want it tbh
Starlet__SR Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Lol think I was the first guy to contact him but I just couldn't convince my lass :/ still want it tbh I'd have loved it but would love it to be a manual. And a conversion isn't cheap on these lol. Beautiful car though.
mart1 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 I had a few people interested in her but no one serious enough to come and view.
Nanglebadger Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Wheels look well bud! Very cool motor this!Phil.
mart1 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 Wheels look well bud! Very cool motor this! Phil.Thanks, yeah it's looking good now with the oz alloys on although I did like it with the gt4 alloys too, possibly a custom exhaust next done at RW Developments.
Pikey009 Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I was serious but my wife was initially keen and then changed her mind as per usual. Would love a custom exhaust manifold from them but don't think i could afford one! Are they only on FB?

mart1 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 The Caldina passed MOT & no advisorys, I'm well chuffed was a little worried about emissions with this as they apparently chuck out a lot of pollution, so next on my list for mods is a nice cat back exhaust system for it and it's now booked in with dean at RW developments for June, going for 3 cat back with a 3.5 jap back box, I'm not sure to have it straight or at an angle??
