Nice work! Hope you can get it back on pace and into the 25's

Also is that stake on the bonnet for aerodynamic puposes or just your makeshift bonnet stand lol

Heh, broomsticks make very good bonnet supports.

Coming up is a new brake conversion, 280x30mm discs with bridged RX7 calipers.

I think i need new wheels

Looks like IPRA is the new black!

And good to see great to see more and more ppl getting involved in their choosen sport!

Car looks great! Big fan of the engine bay etc

[takai]

IPRA is the old, new and current black. Its the shizz

[Beau]

Yer but Black is older then time itself

[takai]

Just a teaser:



280x30mm S15 disc, FD RX7 caliper, with 8mm bridge spacers.

Almost 35mm backspacing on the caliper bracket, not looking forward to fabricating that one. Ohwell, should be a good challenge.

How did you go about "bridging" the calipers? (side view pic please)
Do you think it will leed to them flexing more under braking?

[takai]

Side view there, no doubt it will lead to some more flexing under braking, but the tradeoffs are worth it imho. If i dont like it i can always go to a 22mm S13 disc and remove the spacers.

[fantapants]

why didnt you go the "correct" nissan caliper? just curious... LOVE car that get used

[takai]

FD caliper is physically smaller and easier to fit under 15s
