Yeah, I'd use carbotech for a race pad and probably ebc for a fast Street pad, depending on what you plan on doing.Both of which will cost a few bucks but perform well. / cheaper than fixing a crash damaged car.

Aah yes @bigfoot a few different brackets for the same caliper.

@bigfoot same caliper between airtrek and evo 4, just a different bracket to go from 272 to 294. A swap I have completed on my turbo airtrek.

Gto 4 pots are ultra hungry for spoke clearance, this was my plan A for mx5, I ended up with MA70 Toyota sliding calipers. A good sliding 2 pot and correct pad selection can do a very good job on a car that's not super heavy. They just don't look as cool.

Interesting, I did the 276> 294mm upgrade using evo 4 rotors on my turbo airtrek with the evo caliper bracket. It was a plug and play affair. The knuckle architecture must be different. Or is there an alternative sensor which takes up less real-estate?

I had the balancer part company on my mivec diamante, fortunately all it left me with was no electricity..

As well as the compressor, there would be other things that are unhappy, like it may not get a chance to scavenge the condensation from the catchment tray, and cycling the clutch more often than necessary would probably reduce lifespan.

^^ this you might be able to utilize the rotor retaining screw holes and just get some longer countersunk screws. And pocket the back as @RXFORD suggests. I think the shoulder of the stud really needs to seat directly onto the wheel flange, otherwise the knurl will wear and things will get wobbly.

Cranks but won't start? Did you replace the rotor in the distributor, and did you confirm that the centre sprung loaded contact in the cap hasn't fallen out. Aldo double check your leads are on correctly and in the correct sequence.. If it's a points dizzy with the key on open the points and check for a spark, this confirms your power supply is good.

Surely a real Barry would have popped down to Woolworths for some weetbix, and made a gasket from the box? I hope it holds for you it's been a bit of a journey.

id at least try a different torch, lead and earth cable to rule them out,

Cable actuated rotary encoders might be more easily hidden.

I'm mildly intrigued, has anyone here attempted some mad prep on aluminum then DC tig welded it? I have an ac dc machine so appreciate the cleaning effect from AC. But yeah interested to see some real life DC results on aluminum... not that I'm intending on trying it myself.

I think I did that one from underneath with a ratchet ring spanner.. I had the turbo coolant feed line split on my evo, thankfully it squirted out through the bonnet vent so noticed it pretty quickly.

Or align 6 cylinders in a row, take capacity out to 4 litres, and add twin cam head with variable cam timing.
