$250 vented brake upgrade for KE30/35/55 also celica/corona

[Born-Enthusiast]

hey guys I need to know if an RA60 hub will fit the RT132 strut. there are some sturts at the Upull it here but I already have RA60 hubs will these interchange? or do i need the RT132's hub? i read earlier hen used the RA60 hub on the XT130 strut so would this be a problem?

[o_man_ra23]

The hubs will physically fit, however I don't know if the hub's offset will be suitable. Normally when you buy a strut from a wrecker, the hub and brake assembly comes with?? With the possible exception of the callipers if they have been sold separately.

[Born-Enthusiast]

yeah usually i'd agree and should be the case. but for some reason they charge you extra for the hub as well here. which sucks cause i'm on a real tight budget this week and don't want to risk them not being there next week. however a change in offset would be good. the celica is crazy to find second hand rims for. a nicer user friendly offset might not be a bad thing

[o_man_ra23]

The change in offset won't be a friendly one, it will mean the disk won't sit in the right spot for the calliper, and will be a massif yo headache.

Is there another wrecker which would be worth going to??

ahhh i see. um not really without paying through the nose compared. the guys i used to work for deal with old school celica stuff and now aftermarket drift items/ upgrades so we have nothing outside those peramiters and i don't feel like paying upwards of $40 a strut especially when all i need is the empty strut itself and the hub.

[o_man_ra23]

$40 a strut isn't that terrible considering the importance of the item. Tell em the bearings and shocks are shagged or something for a discount.

I went down to pull them out today and was just gonna grin and bear it. But the guys doubled the quote on me cause I couldn't get the shocker out of both and a spring off one, also they charged seperate for the hubs. I'm looking at $39 per strut now and $13 per hub, so over $100 for the stuff I need. Grrr I need to get a better silver tounge.

On a side note there are some MX62 calipers down at the elizabeth Upull it in adelaide. if anyone here needs a set. dunno how much they charge but get onto it guys. if anyone interstate wants them i'd be happy to pick them up for them next time i'm down there for a fee. not much but to cover fuel costs ect

[SLO-030]

U-pull-it in Adelaide usually charge $22 per caliper. $44 for a pair of MX62's.

I now have a Corona/Celica/Cressida setup sitting in the shed, just need to get off my arse and order this coilover kit. Should pull the 38 up quite well.

[Born-Enthusiast]

hey SLO-030 you didn't happen to pinch tose RT132 struts out of the maroon car near the fence at U-pull it elizabeth did you? went back to get them and someone "appreciated" my previous effort.

[SLO-030]

Nah mate. Barely ever trek out to Elizabeth, Im about 15mins from Lonsdale.

I had some XT130 struts in the shed for a while. Went to Melbourne and picked up a pair that had been converted already about a month ago.

[Born-Enthusiast]

ah ok i gotta find another set now. Hopefully i can find a pair relatively easily

[SLO-030]

Just sold the ones i had sitting in the shed too

Doing a Corona/Peugeot/Hilux on them for the guy.
XT/RA/MX om nom nom

[Born-Enthusiast]

Very jealous. I just painted the car I need these for on the weekend just gone looks frikin amazing. Can't wait till I have it all together again but I need a set of struts to finish the job. Plus alot of interior work.

[SLO-030]
