thanks

fuck q45 brakes. i drilled my old rusty rotors, and installed them

neither of the hoshinos nor rikens fit! i need a 10 mill spacer and im broke kinda in that area



SO, i gave my drilled rotors to a guy who needed them with his j30 brakes... on his ca18det s13.. he put his brake setup together, suprisingly my drill job seems fine.. i did use a drill press and carefull stuff though

in return i got 2 brand new q 45 rotors (undrilled) and his s13 old brakes, pads and calipers.. that were on the car thanks to him lots

so im gonna rock the s13 shit till i can afford spacers etc. and redrill these new rotors

suspension is basically DONE, but i ordered s13 ball joints... i put it all kinda together but im missing bolts etc. i just wanted to make sure it all was gonna fit right


so, get ball joints pressed in, get some bolts, and drift nirvana here i come

some pics




things to get..

BOLTS ah

suspension conversion done








my tie rods are TOO long... instead of welding it shorter, i bought my first die and tap set and made a new thread

i <3 tap and die sets!!! they work so well!

i lengthend the tie rod thread, and i cut the some of the old part off, so now it should be fine to drive to get it aligned

the made thread is the cleaner part


cut

i want to see its the steering knuckles will fit on AE86 to get a better steering angle lol, it looks same and i think the S12's knuckles are longer than the AE86. thanks for the info man i may hit up the junkyard to look for it.

first off, the knuckle pictured is the s13 knuckle, on my car lol

second, swapping knuckles, would mean, ud ahve to find a way to see if the s13 balljoint can mate into the corolla control arm

ball joints must stay with its knuckle
