RA65 rear discs

[slide1600]

hey all, im new to this toyota thing, i need to know if there is any rear disc brake setups which are interchangable with the drums on my RA65? because im putting in a hydro on friday...cheers

[CrUZida]

RT142 Avante Corona's and MA61 Supra have disc rear ends that will bolt on.
You just need to make sure you get the bias valve too.

[CrUZida]

But it does beg the question of 'why'

And what does it have to do with hydros ?

[wilbo666]

Yah MZ1x also have rear disk and will bolt up.

You will need the rear lower control arms and the bias valve.

(Also I've got a set of MA61 rear arms, with MZ12 disks and calipers I can sell you if you're interested, in Brisbane )

Cheers

because i would prefer to run discs with a hydraulic handbrake rather than drums...

ok cheers mate, might have to get onto you about that

[CrUZida]

But even with discs you still have drum handbrake

[thechuckster]

if it's for rally/motorkhana use then the handbrake is going to be linked to an inline master/cylinder for independent operation of the rear callipers?

... just back off the handbrake adjustment while racing then re-tighten before driving home.


edit: this pic shows how the inline unit is connected via clevis pin to the handbrake arm.

looking at running a twin caliper arrangment. and the car is trailered to and from events (not a road car)

if it's for rally/motorkhana use then the handbrake is going to be linked to an inline master/cylinder for independent operation of the rear callipers?
correct

[Johnzoku]

if its the celica im thinking of then im suprised the orange beast dosnt have rear disks already

good idea on set up, but the Z10/ma61 hand brakes work pretty good std. im sure they would be much better than the ra65 drums.

If you're thinking of the orange beast that I'm thinking of then, well that's a drift car and I'm pretty sure it has rear disks already
