messed up with these callipers I spent loads on re-kitting, internet said they are a good upgrade but I never measured to check see photo. not too sure if theres a way to make an adapter plate or something. fitted longer brake hose to the rear tonight, used one of those no friends brake bleeder things man they work sweet.

nice that looks really clean. also looks like something i could copy , you weren't worried about protecting the grill\lights? yeah drive everywhere in 4th gear so 4.56s should work

Keen as to build a front bumper not too sure on shape though. would like to keep the old pto winch, am tiding it up to put back on. can buy 4.56 ratio gears wondering if they would be ok. heres how the rear bumper is getting on. Pretty agricultural but I don't have many tools at my disposal (welder and grinder)

got some cheap roof racks this week second hand, put on the roof tent and fox wing (3 side) awning, we are testing out some products for my wifes father and seeing what needs improving etc. brought a 16 tooth driven speedo gear to correct the speedo but unfortunately it doesn't engage properly so doesn't work. Am thinking about putting 4.3 ratio gears in it as the current 4.1s are a bit long. anyone got any 4.3s for sale?

is it ok if i bring my handbrake? she's keen if so, or is it a sausage fest only? will have a roof top tent, and sussed out a decent waterproof box trailer for the piss. will put up a pic of it sometime. -
i think it does need a bigger driven gear thinking about it now, from the minimal internet searching apparently i don't have to change the gearbox gear, doesn't work in my thought process either. might just buy a 20 tooth and give it a go, if its tight going in it probably won't be right.

Hey have put larger tyres on my old land cruiser and the speedo is out by 12-14%, Im guessing it needs to be close to accurate for cert, have looked into mechanical correction boxes but can't justify $265au + postage\tax. Have found you can buy the gears from toyota new, so I'm thinking I will just buy the correct one. My speedo gear thing that goes into the gearbox is marked 6-18 (6 tooth in the gearbox and 18 on the one that you can pull out) you can't change the inside gear from 6 so if i change the 18 tooth gear to say a 17 or 16 does anyone know what one would help correct my speedo, long winded explanation but i can't figure it out. cheers

-
yeah cheers, not sure never seen a set of mr2 callipers in hand?, haven't put the callipers on just yet need a couple of longer brake hoses front and rear so will put them on then. also looking for a larger master and a 80 booster. list of things needed\wanted doesn't seem to be getting smaller!

have a good spare bumper as it took a bit of a beating when it took on the shelter belt, plus theres some rust i would like to sort out. put a non sun deck bumper on in the meantime. took it for a drive today its got a heap more grunt with the new 3" exhaust and its very quiet. pics.

painted the roof white, lanolin inside roof, put roof lining back in (what a cunt of a job), paid for someone to put the windows back in it only cost $150, rebuilt some 80 series callipers with new pistons and seals, brought the steel i need for the tow bar, brought one of those tow bars you can remove just waiting for it to turn up to start building the tow bar, brought new wheels and fitted the tyres myself was good fun never used a tyre machine before. Then i drove it into my work van by accident. had the h brake cable out to get lengthened so had the cruiser in gear which i normally never do, went to warm it up and turned the key from outside the vehicle and she starts instantly, took off into the van then shelter belt. cruisers sweet but van door is toast.
