"Should be right he's running them on smaller discs so won't be as much force on them. Smaller leverage and all that. Its quite a nice setup."

the size of disc has no bearing on the forces that the caliper experiences.
the caliper mounts will experience the same forces no matter what size disc you run. (give or take)
The problem with machining the calipers is that the caliper probably flexes during operation. The material on the caliper is there for a reason. Thhe machining done may end up weakening the caliper or acting like a stress raiser. The other major reason that machining the caliper is not a good idea, is that it is probably illegal..

The work space..

Out with old and in with the not quite so old

Was glad to see previous owner hadent just slaped the old stuff back together.






Much Nicer..







Get'n There...

If I was going to do a transplant, I think Id rather go Ither a little mazda or suzuki all alloy twin cam things, with flat slides or quad throtlebody injection?

edit: and the next motor plan is an early a12 with a14 crank, gx head, absolutly retarded cam, flat slides.....

same, just a bit more than a stock a15 is enough. Go l series, you know you want to ;)

Yeah I hav driven it a little, beffor it came of the road. I thought it went pretty quick, but dont realy hav any good comparisons, as I never realy driven a performance road car?? I had a liittle squirt against my mate 2.0TDI golf beat him up to 80kph, witch made me smile as it still realy only a verry mild motor. allso put some prespective on CA and SR's I think it would not be in my best intrests to hav something not much heavyer and three time's(at least) more powerfull!?

notice he doesnt use a seat still, just pole!

so how hard does this motyor go? should be ok.

Thanks NZdatman, yeah just sorta thought I'd giv it a bash.

And estyre, I ride an S&M stricker at the moment, slam bars, pitch forks, profile hubs/cranks, and 7K rims. and hav a new S&M 38 race bike on its way. you?

nice work on the brakes. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they fit inside 13s. should piss in with 14s. superlites are a #OOPS#e wheel for big brakes as the deep well part of the rim is on the inside not the outside so this reduces the ID of the rim where the calipers are. I changed to superlites and had to space the wheels out a bit as they touched the calipers. I looked at fitting R32/Z32 calipers but with the bolt spacing it would have been a fair bit of dicking around to get them inside 13s. I thought about looking into the mazda/mitsubishi calipers with the wider spacing, but never got around to it. Good to see someone has done it!

hey wat bike do you ride (what frame ,forks ,rims)
