Daihatsu 4pot caliper conversion, interested to hear about. have you used MK1 or MK2 golf inserts? if you used MK1 inserts, you won't have a problem going low, the issue will be it won't go high enough. MK2 golf inserts are around 50mm longer from what i've heard, thou still would be shorter then stock B310. i really like it at the hight in the last two pics. rake looks tough  |

Daihatsu 4pot caliper conversion, interested to hear about. Yeah, I went hunting for the tech feature just now and can't find it. Plenty of other options though. The B310 Disc already has a reasonable surface area, but isn't vented, I already noticed brake fade when I took it round Combe on the standard engine years ago. So looking to get vented disc and a much larger caliper (which there are a few out there that should fit with a little bit of fabrication). Luckily for me Rob at RNJ Motorsport is all kinds of awesome, so I'm sure we'll cobble something together between my research and his skill  The rear will be coming down more, but then so will the front, I'm aiming for adjustable coil overs on the rear with a turreted and braced top mount. Wheels will be stripped and polished as well, rather than my shonky paint job |

I miss my garage  Great to see it back on its wheels - I don't think I've ever actually seen it in the flesh. |

There is a chance,.. a slim chance,.. but a real chance,.. that both your Kadett and my Sunny (with engine) will make it to a show at some point together!  |

Every time I go into the dungeon at the moment I look in hope that your car has returned.... |

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable. |

Still a reasonable way to go, probably won't be back for a little while yet, I'm very excited though |

UPDATES from Rob at RNJ New custom breather box :  Custom air box  Test fitting the rad and intercooler (I wanted to avoid intercooler poking out of the car in any way  Engine looking snug and happy in the engine bay  Still got stuff to do (rear axle, suspension, front brakes, dials, exhaust........), hopefully have it out and about at some point in July |
