  • Thanks mate

    In other news, had some key parts arrive so strapped them together finger-tight for a quick fit test.
    This is before anything is cleaned up / refurbed so excuse the feral state of things.
    • Mk3 uprights and 4 stud hubs
    • 280x22mm rotors from a G60 corrado
    • Porsche Boxster Brembo calipers
    • Small Spacers
    • Extended lugbolts (taper head)
    • Epytec Porsche Boxster caliper adaptors
    • Bolt them altogether and drop them into my OZ rally 15x7s.. Plenty of room!
    • HEL lines for this specific setup are on the shelf.








    The other machined stuff is the Epytec 02M 2wd conversion kit. (I've got a mk2/mk4 r32 conversion parts collection underway)
