what's the car going to be used for? if your not chasing every last bees richard of a second around a track i'm sure the hoppers stoppers kit will be more then enough mate. I wouldn't bother spend the extra on brembo's just to say I have brembos! but if I was racing competitively then yes i'd go the brembos.

Sorry how much HP is this car have or you plan to have? I reckon you could get away with volvo upgrade and be done with it and change ur hubs . [?][?]

I don't know how much it will have or I plan for it to have. It will have a big valve na pinto in it on twin40's to start with. It might see a turbo when i finish uni. But we will see where life takes me. Fuel might get that expensive we all might get electric engines =P

Talking about changing hubs;
I mailed UPC about hubs and he says Mk1 cortina hubs are the same as Mk1 capri. Is this correct? And he says that escort hubs cant be machined out to fit a capri stub which was the impression I had after reading page 3 of "eBay brakes VS Hopper Stoppers"

Thanks for the help guys.
Ive wasted enough money buying stuff that i thought would work and I dont have much left, hence the million questions.

Cheers.

Food for thought...
Would it not be easier to change your rear stud pattern back to 4 stud? This way your front upgrade becomes alot easier not having to change pattern of the hubs only the calipers you use
The std hubs can easily be modified.

I think you said you already have wheels though?? Is it worth selling them and getting 4 stud wheels?

Wilwood make a 5-stud hub. Just needs a little work on the lathe and they fit.

Third time lucky with the photos????

Very nice bit of gear Brett.

To help compare against the Hopper Stoppers kit, my conversion cost:
Hubs $550
Machining hubs $88 (you could do this yourself if you own a decent lathe)
Bolts $130
Rotors and adapters $640
Calipers $1,000
Caliper brackets, allow $300 (haven't sourced these yet, they gotta be custom made)
Toal $2,708
This cost includes delivery from USA & UK and conversion to aussie dollar.
I showed this conversion to the engineer certifying my car mods and he sees no problem. Can't wait to see how they go.

Mmmm very nice.
Bit to expensive for my current build budged. I got an eBay kit for $500 so I was happy. When im out of uni I might upgrade if I feel the need.
Thanks for the pics and the run down on cost.
