Machining the hub just means you'll never have to do it again when you replace rotors. I'd also prefer to not remove any structural material from the rotor, but it really isn't much in this case anyway. If you do machine the rotor instead, just ensure they only machine from that point...

Before you go to the machine shop, double check that your rotors don't have a lip on the hub-face like this: If they do, consider machining a corresponding step in your hubs, or getting the machinist to skim the rotor (hub would be preferable)

Agreed, they are tight for sure, and very solidly bolstered.

Will be interesting to see when you pull it apart JP, take some pics of the spherical bushing if you decide to replace them. Would be good to see with the rubber shield cut off. I wonder what causes the wear in them? Mine have 135k miles on them and are still nice and tight. The spare ones...

Updated rear poly kit from Energy Suspension DEFINITELY has the extra one-piece bush included (for the rearmost lower arm that adjusts camber). However it clearly states not to fit this bush unless the spherical bush is worn - i.e: you shouldn't need it. I can take pictures of the bush if you...

tell me about it :) I'd snap it up! Got quoted $580 for an OEM one over here..... trade price

Good to know about the 16's. Thanks guys.

Quick question: Has anyone fitted 16" wheels over these brakes? Cheers Phil

^^^ nice 2J there Torque. Good to see an actual "swap", not another 1JZ in an A70, as if that's different :p Cheers

That colour! Amazing!

before after Ok so its pretty subtle, the changes are more of a refresh/restoration than anything.

Nothing :)

How did you find a set of 2nd hand evo calipers that don't have the clearcoat peeling off! Nice find ;) Is that a stepped section inside the friction surface of those fancy looking black discs? Hopefully this setup doesn't have a different swept pad area to the STi that the rotors were...

Shouldn't matter without the lip - it could be better, sure, but the vent is already in the low-pressure zone of the bonnet already. Agreed on the FG vs CF though. Looking forward to seeing the undertray Cheers

Simon, have you seen these CF "hoods"? http://www.advancarbon.com/#/item/1986-1992_toyota_supra_mkiii_intruder_carbon_hood/ For constant track work in higher ambient temps, having the vent behind the radiator could be beneficial for scavenging hot air from the engine bay. First one i've...

Haha, I was wondering what all the fuss was about, then I remembered you guys drive on the other side of the car :p LOL

Yep, as Dan said, you can buy the shroud new from Toyota, that's what I did when throwing the hydro fan in the bin :) Be aware though it is in two parts, as i'm sure you remember from your old one. Definitely a must even with the clutch fan, you don't want the fan pulling air from inside the...

I have no doubt it was done right in your case mate, the level of your build leaves no corners cut i'm sure! So the handbrake shoe adjuster access is an easy one to resolve: Just line up the old rotor against the new to mark the position of the hole, then use a drill-press in two stages -...

If it were stickied......... It would need to be cut down a hell of a lot! A straightforward guide article would be much better.

Is your rollcage made of aluminium?
