Is it possible to fit front calipers to the rear....
biggerbigben replied to biggerbigben's topic in Engine Bay
A hydrolic mech did seem the only way in my mind, therefore it must be possible. Just thinking ahead as come the end of the year I want to move my from calipers to the rear to make way for larger items for the front. Anyone fitted a hydrolic handbrake setup before???? -
Just wondering if its possible to fit front calipers to the rear? and if so how would one attach the handbrake mech???

Bring it on, I'm going to fight you for that position! :D :D :D

I rekon around the mid 4's mate running @ 360-400bhp.. est though. (its 4wd as well)
-
They're quite stable at that sort of speed apparently,160-170mph that is, not sure about 200+ though! With the right gearing, torque and 4WD, 0-60 in the 4s is very possible. Just make sure you brace the strut towers otherwise you'll end up ripping them apart....they are 10+ years old after all! Your target to beat is the Porsche 911 (996) twin-turbo's 0-100 of 8.8 seconds :shock: K I will keep that strut brace idea in mind. I think getting a sub 10 secs to 100 will be a challenge let alone 8.8!! What I have to keep reminding myself is that although my corrado will be quick, its also going to be almost a daily driver, therefore I can't go over board. 360bhp is the target hp (which to most people is major overboard as it is), perhaps getting the bottom end re-built to a higher spec to handle 400bhp with a little more boost but I think thats it. To go further with the 20v in my view is going to start to get expensive and it will become unrealible. Therefore I'm looking to build up another engine over the next year to a much higher spec, like a VR6 for example or maybe something a little different and then uprate the running gearto cope. I don't know, ideas change daily, but regardless I can't wait to get mine on the road..hope to get it started this weekend!!! yeeppiiie...

aparently that UPS brown Turbo VR6 does 202MPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine won't be as quick but I hope to see 160-170mph top speed and in the 4's for 0-60 and a good time around the track due to the 4wd!
-
i'm looking into it for mine..
-
good stuff mate, hoping to get mine mapped by Mike soon on their new 4wd rollers!
-
