Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Running the ST205 brakes on the ST185 is essentially the same process as putting them on an AW11, except with the MR2 you need to redrill disks. What most people do is machine the centre bore of the disk out larger so they can press a 2-3mm thick spigot spacer into it to bring it back down to 54mm.

I didn't even know hubs had ears.

it's all a matter of definition at the end of the day. I've been reading pommie forums recently and they call the caliper mounting points ears.

Its the radiator been discoloured (plastic tanks), seen it many times on ST185s. Probably about time to be replaced.

Oh and btw, that car looks mighty familiar? Oh yeah!

"Drive Flange" is the more known term

"Hub" is generally the name given to the "Drive Flange" + Wheel Bearings + "Hub Carrier"

Meh - I'm off to the garage. Super pro bushes came in for the rear trailing arms and i'm off to play. That and I need to install fuel tank (proper term? ) and reassemble rear subframe.

Cool, that's a completely incorrect use of the word "hub" so I'll stick with not using your definition :P

The flat face on the hub with the studs in it is a flange, but the whole piece is a hub. What do you call it on the non-driven end of the car? A coast flange?

it all depends on the car.

ie: fwd corollas in the rear have a sealed "hub" which contains the wheel bearings and bolts to the hub carrier with 4 bolts.

in a Supra or rx7, the front "hub flange" which carries the wheel bearings is held to the hub carrier by a large nut.

for the past 10 years i've worked supplying parts to workshops and garages, and these are the accepted terms used in the trade.
