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

Secondly what is the best way to identify the caliper? if it bolts to my xt130 strut, has even piston sizes and looks like the photo?

I dont quite understand the question... but if your asking what caliper is in that photo, its the same as mine, came from a LN106.

[skiddz]

No idea, apparently the 22 ones fit, but im thinking that its kinda dodgy. You can always get some custom wound, with the RA28 top and the Corona bottom...

mmm it was dodgy so i cut from the perch up off the 22 struts and took from 20mm below the rona perch off, got em welded i did it myself the first time, but i need somone to blame when it breaks

[TA-022]

so far as i know... just gotta make sure the bolt mounting spacing on the calliper is 100mm, if it's off a hilux, and has that spacing, should be good...

*cough* 90mm*cough*

just like in the pics .. and yes ln106 ... 20mm disc.

here is the old tech article for all.

90mm huh?? i was talking 100 imperial mm... yeah that's it...

thanks for corre... i mean converting that

Upon receving my xt130 struts i atempted to put the two together and found the caliper bolt spacing to be very different (like ~40mm bigger). so one i would like to warn people that not all ln106 calipers are the same (unless the wreckers had them marked incorrectly)

craig.

Your struts are the problem, not the caliper. I just found the same with my NZ new TT132 struts after being offered some Surf calipers for free and measuring up the caliper bolt spacing. My struts are approx 130mm which sounds the same as yours, 40mm wider than the Hilux spacing. So I either need to get different struts or make an adaptor, at this stage I am probably going to do an adaptor and run SW20 calipers and discs as I already have them.

found the problem, there are different bolt spacings between the ln106 models, got the right ones from the wrecker now hopefully (they now bolt onto my strut!)

Just a quick note about the brake upgrade. As i remembered today with most front brake upgrades you are increasing the brake caliper and disc size and hence the heat holding capacity.
However, the rears usually stay the same. One problem with this as i was reminde of today is that it is very easy after a lot of heavy driving (i.e. through the hills on a 36* day) you can heatsoak your rear brakes fairly easily, and even cook the pads.
Needless to say the Cressida (BA/R33 upgrade) needs new rear pads now. Just a word of warning.

[skiddz]

you make a good point i might go to disks when i get my diff put back together.... just need to find suitable disks and calipers.... thanks for the heads up

[strat]

Just a queston for takai, what would be your pefered shock for this upgrade? the car is track only. i cant seem to find anyting race worthy.

[takai]

Something along the lines of the Tokico HTS 102 or KYB AGX as an entry level race shock. If you are going to take it to the next level then Billies or Ohlins if you can get them.

[ace]

90mm mate....

[Cuzzo]

90mm what?

[takai]

He is referring to about 5 posts ago. The boltspacing on the calipers is 90mm.

hey fellas,
ive installed the c/p/h in the ta22 using:
- 2003- 06 camry brake master cylinder thanks to
http://www.toymods.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14424
I spoke to YOGI8U and he recomended a trecel one, which i might check out.
- As mentioned before, if the strut is not shortened when installed, the front of the car rises to about stock height even with lowered king springs.
- you can use the ta22 upper strut suspension supports and spring seats on the corona strut.

Any ways for those who decide to go braided brake lines, i went to Earls performance and Race brakes to piece this puzzle. This is what fits on my ta22 so i think it would be the same for other celicas/corollas.

Earls
part no.
- 600103 [-3 straight hose end, plated] (adaptor for the end of the hose) $11.25ea
- 351-03 [adaptor -3 mate to m 10x1.0] (adaptor for caliper to braided line fitting) $11.25ea
- 600003 [speed flex -3] (the braided hose) $18/metre
EDIT:
- 600503 [-3 angle banjo h/e, adj,plate] (banjo fitting) $18.75ea
- 977517 [banjo bolt stl m10 x 1.0 single] (banjo bolt) $8.25ea



Race brakes
part no.
- 242-03 [fittings] (adaptor for the other end of the braided hose. The adaptor on this end connects to the metal brake tube that pokes through from the engine bay to the inside of the wheel well/arch) $11.4991 (Earls does not make this fitting thats why i went this path)

went to bunnings and bought some 3inch range hood metal/alloy ducting for about $28.79ea and started experimenting with them under the car to help circulate air to the brakes.

As for problems, the only one i got was i needed an elbow at the caliper because the hose hits the sway bar at full lock. I will source out this part in the next following days.

EDIT: it only really hits when the car is jacked up and the wheels are sagging, so i would think it is okay for for driving. Also i have fitted on mine babjo fittings updated part no. in the above
list

just a reminder to use crimped braided brake lines and not screw fittings as these are not legal (rta/adr approved) for everyday road use as ive been told. (but between you and me, what they dont know wount hurt them hehehe..)

if you have any Q's fire away.

hi takai can you get any part numbers on those shocks. and were to get them from in S.A. the KYB sounds the go. im really pushing to get my car ready for next years ip season but we should be ok if boostworx do some work on it over christmas
