So if anybody knows a radial mounted 4 piston alloy caliper for a 272x22mm disc that isn't colourful anodised ond looks a bit classic - let me know. Piston diameter should be around 40mm

 

Late model NK strut, e9 disk, superlite. Needs one washer to space it inwards to centre over the disk. 40mm pistons

Will this fit over NK 5x14 wheels?

I'm running 14x7 campags, but I'm sure an NK steel would fit - in fact I'm using the same caliper on tii struts on my Touring with 14x5.5 NK steels.

 

You have to drill out the mounting hole +1mm. I'm in France and the best price I could find in Europe for Wilwoods was this Finnish company:

Santa feels that my car rides too high, so he's gifting me a set of GC coilovers.

 

So thoughtful.

I’ll be taking delivery shortly of a Russtii conversion.  He’s using e36 guts in a 2002 case, with an e21 rear cover.  Apparently the guts drop right in, and everything bolts up as before. Looking forward to trying it out.

That sounds too good to be true.  Does it use E21 output shafts?   There has to be some magic with some shims.

Santa has not been answering the phone or responding to my emails.

That's because he had a mishap on the return trip last year.

It’s in a 2002 housing, using 2002 half shafts, so a direct bolt-up to 2002 axles.  It does sound too good to be true, but it’s done by faqer Russtii, who has a good rep for turning out good conversions at reasonable prices.  Really looking forward to trying it out.

I wish I can buy a 245/5 five speed for $100, again.

I’m thinking of picking up an ultra rare older classic. One of those from-your-boyhood memories. It’s unrestored with factory AC, new brakes, sunroof - and the coveted manual transmission…

 

Should I?

 

Come on Santa!

Shit, sorry, forgot to attach a pic..

 

Brings back memories huh? 🫠

I just talked to Santa.  He said he would keep an eye peeled when he delivers presents, but the one you were looking at seems good, but make sure to check with "you-know-who".  He said you were really good this year except for that one time... (he said you would know what I was talking about).

I am not seeing a deal on a wavetrac yet this morning, we will see what the day holds.
