Custom brackets fits just fine with caliper/rotors combo
Test fit is a succes ! I can't wait to hit them HARD ! |

I want details! Where/what you bought, and how they perform. Here we go ; Rotors are wilwood srp 14''x1.10'' , got them on ebay for 550 $. At the time to pay seller ask me if I want the wilwood hats for 125 $ more . They were made for corvette so I got them redrilled to 5x100. After that I decided to match the rotors with wilwood 6 pistons calipers . Choice are radial or lug mount . Bought them on ebay also , 850$ with polymatrix pads type E compound . I prefer and buy lug mount caliper because it's easier to make the bracket . Finally I contact a brake company specialized in custom brake with all my specs to get the bracket made . They already have the celica hub mounting/offset mesurement , I just tell them the specs of the calipers and rotors/hats .I got also the brakes lines and all hardware (spacers , bolts , washers) total 350$ . The only issue I have are the pads fitment over the rotors. Wilwood list the calipers I have to go over 14'' rotors but they don't . So I need to re-profiled the pads .250'' lower to get them flush to the dics. The total is 1875$ for the package. Ksport kits are approx. the same but I decided to go with custom parts + wilwood for cheap replacement parts in futur . Unfortunately , I won't try the brakes before next year ; winter is already with us here ; 5 degree F today .... |

A lot of new things , no time to update so I will make a little effort .
I'm in the process of redone the interior I add the water injection and 4 channel egt gauges at the bottom of the center console Then I modify the cluster trim to adapt a complete stack dash A little carbon fiber touch A little glue over the plastic adaptor I think I just need the stack dash now .

very nice. From where have you got that carbon fiber touch ? Here is the link ; http://www.ebay.com/sch/the1store2011/m.ht...p;_trksid=p3686 Your choice of size and tickness . The most diffficult was to cut the round shape to get nice fitment inside the cluster trim . |

I'm very happy with the result , no more gauges all around . This post has been edited by frotou: Sep 8, 2013 - 6:21 PM |

I'm very near to complete the E58 gearbox swap . I almost finish to collecting parts ;
Billet aluminum flywheel with quatermaster 7.25 '' twin disc Rear motor mount with urethane (not insert) , still need to make the base to bolt on the crossmember. Custom made axels shaft from DSS Dowel pin on the crankshaft with ARP bolts , 6 bolt on 7afe flywheel is a know source of problem ..... It's such a long process but at least I do it right the first time . Hope you enjoy ! This post has been edited by frotou: Jan 25, 2016 - 2:23 AM |

Well , the 7a become more popular because it bolt to the 4ag 16/20v but is not a logical choice in the celica. I just want a different , more unique setup . There are some parts available, just need to search more .
