Did you weld on a fitting from the stock water port to the water hardline?

Registering my interest in the kaminari wing now.

Styling back then was urghh...i mean look at some of the stuff abflug/regulus put out. As much as i want one, don't replicate the kaminari wing, keep it rare, and keep teasing us with awesome pics. Makes me wish i never passed up on the kaminari i spotted on yahoo jp 2 yrs ago. I thought there...

These hoods are already being made in Japan for a while now, called TK style. I have a frp one, and they have carbon ones as well. However, they aren't priced as well as these. Good work on the cutting and welding.

I have cash ready to go if this ever happens.

Understand a proportioning valve is a bandaid. Interesting pointon the brake booster. What happens if you want to retain ABS?

Well I am fitting a tilton proportioning valve, so yes i am concerned about bias. Why would you disable your booster?

Ok i had to disassemble the calipers. Here are the specs: Fronts - 4 piston brembo's 36mm (35.95mm) and 40mm (39.96mm) piston diameter. Rotors are 330.0mm x 28.0mm Rears - 2 piston JZA80 rears 40.4mm piston diameter. Rotors are 324.0mm x 16.0mm Hope that helps...

Hi Supraguru, I'm trying to calculate the same pedal force required to lock up the brakes as stock. I was hoping to use some maths to determine if i needed a larger MC to achieve this. I think the brake torque will be stronger given i'm using larger rotors and pads, and they are positioned...

I can do this, but i don't thinkits the right way to doit. What is the ratio point that you need to upgrade to a new MC? For example, if the new surface area is 5% greater than stock, is this enough to need a new MC? Calc the surface area of the pistons is easy, but do you use all 6 pistons...

From my understanding, it doesn't work for everyone with bigger caliper pistons. Most people will lose stock brake feel if their increase the piston surface area beyond what the MC is capable of producing. I want to calculate if i need to upgrade, rather than work on a trial and error basis...

Anyone? Would it be easier if i just list down the piston sizes, rotor sizes, then let someone else calculate it for me?

So, i'm installing aset of cobra/focus rs brembo 4pot calipers for the front, and mk4 2pots for the rear and i'm trying to calculate if i need to upgrade the master cylinder to retain the stock feel. I don't want to do this by trial and error. How do you calculate if you need to upgrade the...

Simon, It needs to be a 30 profile at 285 size to keep it in ratio with the stock wheel or <1%. 285/30 were the closest on keeping <1%. Why a 40 profile on wide tyres? That doesn't make any sense. I had a look at a few pics with 285's on a 10" wheel and it does bulge a bit depending on the...

I'm going to need all the tyre i can get :) 10" +25 rears as well. Unfortunately the car isn't close to getting those wheels on yet.

I've got some 10" +25 fronts. I was what tyre size i should go with. I want a 285/30/18 on it, to match the rears, but i think this might be ambitious. If i pull and roll the front fender to the max, can the front accomodate this size tyre? The alternative would be a 265/35/18.

All i can say is, don't over do the looks.

This build has taken a bit of a leap over the awesome line.

Glad i got some thumbs up for this. I'm a little surprised noone has actually put a supra on a brake dyno before. I can't have an in car bias adjuster as it's deemed dangerous (and rightly so if you don't know what you are doing). I have to prove that there are safety mechanisms in place so...
