He got me some replacement parts for my fat ass MR2.

I have to say that its really good quality. Just looking, its SO much better than the old kit I had. And its really strong too. The lines are detailed and the dimensions are correct.

I'm very pleased.

So big thanks to Al!

(Might I add, he is one of our sponsers! (Free shameless plug))

sooo i heard u stacked it, so are you not goin with the widebody now?

by **Adamal** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 5:05 pm

Yea, I am. This time however, I'm taking it off the road until I have done the kit, paint, wheels, tyres, suspension and brakes.
And I'm not planning on doing things in halves either. Like brakes will consist of rotors, calipers (Brembo, and yes, I'm aware that 4 pot's cost about $1000 per caliper) lines, pads and anything else that I might find could use improvement in my research.
So yea, shes gonna be off the road for a LONG time. Probably a year or more while I save money and do it.

Why such big brakes? Why not just a '92+ brake upgrade, new pads, lines and slotted rotors if you think you really need them?

Don't forget to price up Willwoods as well. We had 4 pots on the AE86 for Targa and they were absolutely brilliant.

Generally no, brakes dont make you go

Big brakes = more unsprung weight = slower
