michaelme Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 bought some Pontiac Fiero front calipers off flyingbrick over the weekend. I'll get some photos up, and try get them on the car in the next month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelme Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 there's a guy on TradeMe with a complete rear diff/axles/disc brakes from a Piazza. Has anyone done this conversion before? What else would be needed? The chevette currently has a gemini diff fitted with drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUL8R Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Nice work man, looking pretty good, just slowly ironing all the glitches out! g200z should go pretty well, what'd you manage down the 1/4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelme Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 Only had 2 runs before the heater hose burst and spoiled the fun, so the best I ran was 18.43 @ 116.5kms, but I'm sure it has more in it. Looking forward to the next drag day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
