hi all,
i am currently in the process of buying an AP 4 pot set up for the starion.
it consists of a piar of AP 4 pot calipers, seperate bells/discs (300mm), brackets and goodridge steel braided lines.
this is a proper set up, removed from the doug forbes race car;
these will fit behind the standard 16" starion widebody wheels.
hope they will work well.
also, a friend and i went halfs and bought a widebody shell, with no engine but it has running gear-
it was fitted with kyb coilovers-as fitted to the ralliart trackcars, rosejointed lower arms(only on the rears), lancer turbo gear box(slightly different ratios), custom exhaust, yokohamas all round, orignal superchips ecu(gains of around 20-30 bhp) and a decent vented bonnet. paid $1,298 which i think is good, as the car is really solid too(bit rare here in the uk- loads of rust normally) and the parts fitted.
not sure on the plan yet, as my poor widey has had a hard time, what with it being used as a daily driver for 2years( in the great english weather), and it being stolen too, a quite a lot of welding needs to be done, so part of me is saying change over the shells, and the other part is saying spend ot on this shell??
really dont know what to do????
:(
i will post some pics when they are fitted to my widey

if the new shell is clean, then i'd be prepping it up for a big changeover. but only if u can store it out of the weather and not have to drive it on the salted roads....

ap calipers
hi all.
redzone- that what i was thinking- but i am kinda attached to my car
picked up the brakes on friday.
fitted them up to my adjustable kybs(as fitted to ralliart cars :D ), and to a spare wheel to ensure they wont foul on the standard wheels.
looks like i may have to get some 10mm spacers, as the caliper catchs a bit.
but apart from that, alls cool- got to get hold of some more willwood 570f brake fluid, and some spacers then they are ready to fit :D
bolted up to the kyb
300mm discs with alloy bells
rear view, behind widebody rim. fill them nicely
front view
caliper hiding
hoping this will be the dogs dangleys :D
