[Guide] Corona/Peugot/Hilux Conversion with Height Adjustable Coilovers [56k DIAF]

Cant the BA falcon rotors be used? 298mm?
Or are there 28mm thickness too thick?

[takai]

BA Falcoon are too thick, and the caliper woudlnt be spaced out enough to use them.
If you are keen on that route, then use the MX73 struts etc and do the BA/R33 upgrade.

not sure on the honda pcd, still researching, it amaizing how hard it is to find something u really need. i was thinking using the s2000 rotor which is 25mm thick with a NA Z32 caliper which takes a 26mm disk. even re drilling from 5x100 shouldn't be that much of a hastle, i hope.
i'v thought about the BA but the hat size it too large in my poinion, also they are a little thick for thr z32

cheer mike.

Q about the supra master cylinders, for those who can answer my question:

Just bought an RA28 for my boyfriend while he is interstate, and its got the pug/hilux/corona brake upgrade with the supra master cylinder (not exactly sure which supra).

I was wondering though about the differences between the supra MCs, as according to Witzl's one, the pipes on his MC are on the "correct" side (ie the same as the standard RA28 side.)


Dont have a piccy yet but the one on our 28 has one of the pipes on the air filter side of the MC, which is in the way of the air filter (therefore there is no airfilter on it at the moment ) and has used a flexible brake line (the one you find between the strut and calliper) between two steel lines, which I need to fix up for a roadworthy so im only using steel lines.

BUT my bf also has a supra cylinder sitting at his parents on his other 28, he can probably tell me what its off, but probably wouldnt remember what side the pipes are on. I may be able to use that one, but I wanna find out first and save myself an unnecessary trip if its no different, as its a bit of a hike out to his parents house.

Can anyone tell me what supra the MC I have is out of, and what supras you can get Witzl's style from (aside from the obvious MA70 he is using) ?
EDIT: Just found info that GA70/JZA70 are same as MA70 - can anyone confirm?

[TA-022]

from what im told yes they are the same for all *A70's.

I have MA70 --- note the line running over top the booster

[sillycar chick]

Hmmm well i dont know what brake MC it is then, its 4 bolt and looks the same from memory, but see where you have the pipe on the side, mine has the pipe coming out the opposite side (towards the engine) wtf??
i'll try go take a piccy tomorrow, the car is at the folks' at the moment

dont get me too excited..... but will the mx83 struts bolt to the RA23 LCA/balljoint?...?

so then use the mx83 strut tube for a coilover conversion, and do that conversion?

just run some new bundy line and bend right back and under.

get pics

I highly doubt it, and the steering arms will be all wrong.
Maybe look at MX73 gear, as the MX73 stuff fits the MX83 brake upgrade if you redrill the discs for 4x114.3

Lets keep this thread on the topic of the Corona/Peugot/Hilux brake upgrade though.

well im excited anyway ....

i might try and have a good look at the missus mx83 tonight, see whats similar.....

plus you would then get 5x114.3 pattern,

cheers, blake

Hey sillycar chick maybe you could use some banjo fittings on the outlets on the master cylinder , i got some from the wreckers the other day from an old RWD mazda 323 , they're bajo fittings on one end and female flare (10mm buy the looks of it )on the other, i'll see if i can get some piccy's up of them

[sillycar chick]

Hmmm I really want to just use the right master cylinder so the pipe isnt near the air filters. At the moment I cant run one of the air filters cos the pipe's in the way, as will be the case with any other sort of air filter I use

Were pretty sure the one my boyfriend has at his parents in his other 28 is a GA70 one, so hopefully the pipe is on the drivers side. Its not fitted to a car yet, so if I can get hold of it im just going to swap MCs.

Still wouldnt mind knowing what MC I have on there now is though... looks the same as the *A70 ones, just has a pipe on the opposite side

[takai]

Probably from a Hilux or a Camry. They had very similar MCs.
Edit: Maybe a Cressida too. Exhaust was on the drivers side, so it wouldnt make much difference having it exiting there.

im having a bit of trouble with my set up ive measured the inside of my XT130 strut tubes and they are 400mm and the body of my rear mr2 inserts are 360mm, when i use the corona gland nut it adds 20mm to the top of the insert body. So all i need is a 20mm spacer....no cutting, is this right?

Thanks

There is no point in using short stroke inserts if you are not going to cut the tube down.
Thats the whole idea... cut the tube down to give increased shock travel at lowered suspension heights.
