Celica Brake Upgrade

[takai]

Just a warning, its a bit of an Asian ricer shop (and im not being racist there), but Nelson (the owner) knows what he is doing. He may still have up all his trophies and awards from the Hong Kong machining competitions.

having some issues again fellas, this time its with my calipers, one is fine after the rebuild the other, the pistons arent sitting right, they are too far out, and i cant seem to push them in any further. (the disk wont actually fit in the gap between the pads)

any suggestions?

thanks

hey, ive had this problem before, have you tried using a g - clamp?

fonzy

[skiddz]

nope, but i shall try now

i would +rep ya but i need to spread the love a bit

[TA-022]

yeah ... you never quite get full depression without usin those piston ppusher tools or a g clamp.

[skiddz]

thanks guys!!! i owe everyone here a beer and some pos rep!!

[merc-blue]

i normaly use a pair of channel grips, just make sure all the other calipers are on or else your gonnas shoot a piston out on one,

brakes are in!!!! bled and working, but i should have shortened the struts or atleast moved the spring perches cos she sits about stock height with lowered springs in there

ill get pics when i can, or remember to

nup there different, i had springs wound for Ta22 tops XT130 bottoms, they are sitting in the shed casue im now going coilovers

Dude where did you get this done in Melbourne, or do you still have them lying around, because I would take them off your hands. Its time to make my bastard car pull up properly and handle better than my falcon.

[merc-blue]

I still got them,
theres a few places you can get them done

or do what im gonna do tomorrow and shorten the rona struts (lop em off bout 20mm below the spring perch) and weld 22 struts from perch upwards less rooting around IF you are somewhat skilled with a MIG welder

The *T13* struts do have to be shortened anyway to fit the TA22 inserts snugly.

yeah i figured that one out, so i spaced the bottom up being the dick that i am, and now it has come back to bite me in the arse so doing things *properly* this time....

now that exams are over, just had a good look through the DBA catalogue again, this time sober, and i think i got the right data this time... looking for 22mm rotors to suit the RX-7 calliper. and the score sheet goes a little like this

i'm liking the siziki vitara from this list so i rang the fella at DBA and he said he could get them made blank, with no center hole, or stud holes. just waiting on a price from ol' mate at repco

standard 22mm thick rotors
