Hey Buzz,
I have Skyline R31 calipers now (with internal handbrake but disconnected as I have hydro handbrake) on my English Axle but was thinking of upgrading to a 2 pot type like the Brembos or from an r34 Skyline. How much do you want for them? PM me if you want.
Cheers
Matt

Cheers Drew,
I've been planning this since I was 16 so to say I'm excited is a massive understatement
Cheers

More parts gathering. I currently have a very tired celica 5 speed box to go in but then this came up and I couldn't go past it. it's a freshly rebuilt Supra w58 g/box. Apparently the type with the steel sandwich plate has some minor internal differences, and it is believed to be slightly stronger (some wider bearings, some wider gears, slightly different gear selection mechanism, etc.). I've also ordered all the rust repair panels from Motorsport Tools so we can get moving on the body work. Here's the 2 boxes together  The Supra Box

They are a good box have one in the Rs good ratios and the w58 are the most desirable of the supra boxes

I've read differing stories about rota rims being brittle or being just as tough as Volk or BBS etc . As for who they supply to is enough to say they're alright.. Merc ,VW ,Audi ,Toyota all use rota from factory .
I'd be comparing prices of the same style rim from Aust and usa... Since usa buy them by the 1000s a day they will be cheaper than here . Saying that , a few yrs back i bought from USA a set of 17x7.5 5spoke rims for my mk1 focus. . The set cost $240(not rota) and shipping thru UPS was $200 (3 days) , the same here was $1050 .....
Just a heads up for ideas , tho I'd be worrying about the body more than rims at this point of the build !!
Keep up the good work and pics , cheers.
