Can't wait to see the progress, nice build, I love wide body TRD mr2's.

Not sure you can get a 2000 GT kit per se, though someone else with more knowledge may be able to advise otherwise? I'm having my arches custom made from a TRD widebody replica kit, currently being fitted by fibrevision in Perth WA... I will be advising this forum on their workmanship, though the guys seem to know their stuff - thing is they've had the car 2 months now and as far as I know there hasn't been much progress... PATIENCE on my part is required..

Here's a mock-up in the right colour with the Volks GTS on. Be interesting to see how the real deal machine comes out!

you still got my dremel
started pulling my heads down tonight
going to do the port an polish thing
all parts are finally here to finish my build up

good to see yours is still progressing

by the way - what are you doing with your 3S-GTE??~!

you still got my number?? I think we should have a little chat

Build update pics - wide arches...

Was gonna wait until they were all on with the rear bumper and front fenders too but some progress pics won't go amiss - defo need my wheels to turn up in the next week or two to cut the arch lines in though...!

The first few pics show the totally butchered TD replice rear quarters, which were cut into small parts(!) and 'jigged' into approximate position.. The top down pic shows how much wider the ultra widebody concept car is/was than the normal replica widebody kit..









This was last week....

UPDATE...

Arrived this week were Wolfkatz Wilwood big brake upgrade kit, took 12 days from US, delivered to my door:











Full kit comprises

Wilwood Superlite racing calipers (front);
Stainless steel custom brake lines (front);
Porterfield racing brake pads (x4)
Extention Brackets (front and rear);
All connecting bolts, fixings;

Had a few questions about the calipers - see pic below; The caliper appears to my inexperienced eyes to be "empty", though apparently the four "hollows" are in fact 'hollow pistons'.. I expected to see something else, like more obvious operating parts. Can anyone take a look at the pics below and advise?? Word from Wolfkatz is that they are complete, so I'm more looking for some education - Wolfakatz (Garrett) is a good guy and I'm in no way putting the product down!

Pics as follows:











I hope the question is obvious - I am looking to understand where the brake fluid pressure exerts and how the hollow pistons exert force onto the central cavity where the brake pads will be fitted.

Intuitively i can see the bleed nipples and connection for the stainless steel hoses. This would make me think that the internal cavity of the caliper (behind the hollow pistons) is a chamber, into which the brake fluid flows, thus pedal pressure exerts fluid pressure in the chamber, pushing the hollow pistons outward and into contact with the brake pads?

Any advice/explanation will be gratefully received!!

The build as it goes is progressing, though have hit a snag - I ordered 4 x Volks rims in August and they STILL haven't arrived. They are now holding up the entire build, which is getting more than a little frustrating.. [xo] Basically the rims are required to cut the arch lines in to the correct height/diameter.

I will post up some pics of the most recent body shop visit after this

damn...haven't looked at this thread as didn't realize you'd turn it into your build thread.

you should see if it can be moved to the showroom area or cut and paste all your posts with pics.

coming along well, might even make a countach look skinny.....hah
