    Race Ready 7M

    The new Wilwood BBK, from Revolution Brake, isn't a bolt on affair. Rather, it requires grinding of the hub! The shop won't have it completed and ready to use until Friday evening. The next time I can get a Track Day is June 21st. Additionally, Revolution Brake sent the wrong rotors. I ordered...

    lightened flywheel questions

    I've had the Fidanza FW since 2005, with a lot of hard use, then this year, I had the friction surfaces replaced and there were no stress fractures noticed by neither the machinist during the lightening process... Nor the mechanic during the clutch rebuild this year.

    I had a local shop make mine. It is a "performance" shop, one that the local SCCA club racers go to. Look in your area for one, see if they have the expertise to make yours.

    Race Ready 7M

    Crisp, No, I don't know what pad the kit comes with, besides that, I ordered my favorite pad for all around use, Porterfield R4-1. High coefficient of friction for race day, but comes up to ops temp at 200 degrees, so it has good modulation even when OAT is below freezing. Still rotor friendly...

    stage 2 clutch?

    Look into the Action clutch kit offered for sale on the Driftmotion site. I have the stage 2 that includes the uprated PP and the stock disc. Works great. Last one lived five years with heavy use.

    Until 3p and John S are through working out the bugs, do as I have... EBC, AFC Neo, Aeromotive AFPR kit, and a Lex AFM w/adj screw. Take it to get dyno tuned and make more power than the stock PP can handle, then start down that road... ;) Where your headed can get expensive. Just saying from my...

    lightened flywheel questions

    Hello, Welcome to SM! You are going to use your Supra as I do. I purchased the Fidanza aluminum flywheel, then had it lightened further around the ring gear, and it does require me to pay attention to the revs to keep the motor from stalling. That's it! It doesn't perform reliably as well as the...

    It is an AE92 Corolla, w/a 162whp JDM engine and EMS. Thanks for the comment on the build. I'm working on the brake cooling ducts for Friday's track day. Pictures are on the way. I'll be joined by an '85 Supra, that is bone stock. Crisp, Thanks! I see this upgrade like a manufacturer's...

    Divorced Down Pipes

    I ordered mine; Randy is still making them, with a 4-6 week lead time. I understand that with less back pressure in the exhaust, I may get better gas mileage... Nah!

    Race Ready 7M

    Oh Yeah! It will be modified at the shop to include a recirc tube back near the exit flange, like this when it's done:. It won't have a collector, but instead have a 3 inch dia., DOM, 45 degree bend tube that transitions from round to oval, that bolts up to the exit flange of the down pipe...

    Getting more 7M revs...

    Hey Kenny! Welcome back... So, on the turbosupras.com website,Toyota was turning their 7MGTEs at 7500 RPMs, but it was for a dedicated track car. Shims under buckets, 288 cams, 100 Lbs springs, modified combustion chamber, Mahle forged, short skirt pistons, etc. The guys who built my 7MGTE did...
