Front disc & caliper mod on YRV Turbo

Forum: 

Hi guys,

I am busy fitting the RunX RSi or I think there in the UK they called Corolla Tsport's front discs and 2000 model Subaru GT's 4pot calipers. I am just checking if they will work... Seems like it!! Looks hot! I still need to get someone to make the brackets for me.

I am going to remove the subaru name from the caliper and put in BROODWA! Smile

Lekker!

Not sure many people here would get the "broodwa"... in English it's "breadvan" or "baker's wagon" hehehehe... I cannot think of a better translation, and you don't see those around anymore either, so most people still won't get it unless they are ummm... senior-ish!
Looks good... preparing for track?

Thanx guys! AT least she is a few 100kgs lighter than the GT. The Toyota discs are 275mm, I will slot them and fit some yellow stuff...got to be better than stock brakes well when racing her. I need to make a plan with the brakes before I put the 1.5l head on and the bigger turbo.

The broodwa still very familiar here in SA but I understand in the UK not much bread wagons driving around anymore. Smile

Sounds good. Glad to read you are going with yellow pads, had green pads on my scooby brakes, and wasn't impressed Sad would recommend braded hoses and a good 5.1 DOT brake fluid for heat etc Wink what size turbo are you going for?
