So bought a ma61 from the bay of E and loved it straight away. So chucked it in for MOT and it failed on blocked washer jet and a bit of rust inside one of the arches. So after 15mins it had mot lol. Attachments:

One of my employees used to do body repair so i got him to start work on the supra to see if he can get it looking respectable. Haven't seen the damn thing for about a month but he says he is ready to apply the primer so now looks like this.   Hopefully will be painted soon. Also bought this for spares so have loads of bits knocking around.  Got 2 of my guys to strip it in one day and fork lifted the shell onto a scrapper and sent it on its way to car heaven. |

Ooh, got some Revo's off Stu then  Cool. Actually i'm looking at another possibility with using the Discs and Brembo 4 pot Calipers from a Peugeot 406 coupe.  Discs are the Same height, and still 4 stud, so easy for me to Modify, but they are 26mm thick and come in a choice of 283mm for 15" wheels, or 305mm for 16" wheels. Calipers are Brembo 4 Pot aluminum and at the moment look like having a better fitment than what i had to Do to make the RX7 calipers fit. I was alerted to this by good Friend, Chaydon Ford of the Corolla Brotherhood and i am looking into producing kits for both Ma61's and Ae86's once i have sourced prototypes for comparison testing. It atcually will work out a bit cheaper to stick with all 406 Coupe parts as average Ebay prices for 2nd hand Brembo Calipers are bloody low! Lots of choice with makes too, esp. from Alfa Romeo and Seat leons ect. Looksies  www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Vehicle-Parts-Accessories-/131090/i.html?LH_ItemCondition=4&_nkw=brembo+calipers |

I think it's more luck of the draw tbh mate,  Seen them as little as £60 a pair, and up to £200 for the Brembo 406 calipers & i paid £55 for my Rx7 ones, but usually are for sale for around £120 a pair. Want to get on with measuring them up soon on the Brembo's so hopefully managing to borrow a set off a friend soon so i can see in the flesh |

My car isn't ready yet anyway but I will defiantly be getting conversion once you have done brackets. |
