Finally, progress - '88 AW11 from scratch...

First project: get hubs machined and centre bore sorted, then see how the calipers and rotors sit (I'm thinking hub spacers will have to be made) I'll see if I have a chance to do it on this weekend. I won't get pics till I've got them all pretty :)

I am horrible at remembering to take photos while I'm working on stuff :p Essentially all my stuff is either getting cleaned/coated, machined or in the post - all I have here now is some dirty old ST184 calipers! Once I get the hub/knuckles back (was meant to be done Thursday afternoon, wasn't done as of lunch today) I guess I'll take some before/after pics.
After some measuring it looks like spacers won't have to be made hopefully, I'm going to discuss with my engineer friend what way he thinks would be easiest/safest (legality really isn't on my list of important things :p) to move the calipers 2mm inboard to suit the different height on the new rotors.
 
I can however give you some pics of stuff I've already done (and have either sold or given away to friends to use on their cars). Exhaust was sold a while ago to a member on here who never came to pick it up - I've sent him a few emails and no reply so I'll just keep it here till I hear from him I guess. Extractors (that weren't finished at the time of the photo obviously) are on a mates AE82 track car (and work quite well from what I hear). All I have left is the catch can and the cam covers.
 

 

 

This has good potential, good luck with it mate.

 
New on the left, old on the right. You can see the increase in piston size - 30% increase in rotor volume, 22% increase in rotor surface area and 26% increase in clamping force. Looks completely factory ;)

Made them to suit a mild-cammed bigport, they are now ceramic coated and on an AE82 track car. Wish I kept them so I could make a jig to make some more - I think I paid a total of $80 all up for the materials for the extractors, exhaust and muffler and sold them for about a grand all up :p

Ergh, so. Went to pick my calipers up from Craig - after machining he realised (and I hadn't) that the two calipers I got are from two different cars (although they are almost identical). My guess is an early and a late ST184 (using two different sizes rotors).
Huge freaking pain in the arse, I have to identify which is the correct caliper, find the matching other half and then pay for it to be machined properly.
Good news - SW20 22V calipers turned up for the rear, and the hubs he machined for me turned out beautifully. I am juggling a -lot- of stuff at once so the rate of progress may have to be slowed down a tad. I'm meant to be heading 2600km north in two weeks time for up to three months, so it's pretty hard to work on a car while I'm there :p
