Hey, Gang - I've got plenty of winter projects to do (including, as of last night, a clutch master and slave rebuild), so I'm not really looking for more stuff to do. But I saw that Moss has a four-p

Normally, When you increase HP, you would want to build better brakes. Also, just replacing the rear drums would be good idea, since 4 wheel disc would always be better. But I'm not sure what would

Don't know about the Moss upgrade, but you can do the same with Toyota calipers...check out Lee Janssen's web site...lots of good stuff http://www.cs.du.edu/~ljanssen/ Todd Bermudez CF25768UO CD198L

If you want to help your braking, the first thing is to upgrade the tires. The best brakes in the world won't matter if the contact patch can't handle the load. If you've upgraded the tires, the nex

I read a very interesting article concerning Brake Improvement, before you go buying stuff check what you have. Friction from disk brakes (or drums for that matter) is a direct function of the total

The braking power is actually a combination of the surface area and the coefficient of friction between the friction material and the rotor. It's not just swept area - it's the whole package. If you

Bob Lang is correct as usual with what he wrote above. The absolute first thing anyone should think of upgrading on their TR6s are the tires. A good set of tires will maximize the potential of your

Bob, Here is the data on the conversion. I did it last year and I believe my cost was just under $250. The vented rotor conversion uses rotors from a Toyota Cressida. The inner hole of the Toyota rot

Anaemic braking? Bob, I'd say there is something seriously amiss in your braking department. Admittedly, it's a long time since TR's were new but the US spec TR had the same brakes as the fuel inject

Aloha Great Minds, I've just recently replaced the pistons in my front calipers and replaced the pads. After bleeding the brakes, all seems fine until I go through a couple of good hard stops and the

I would first rebleed the brakes as it sounds like air is back in the lines. When you rebleed notice which, if any, corner is giving out the most air bubbles. Then do a thorough inspection of the br

I had the pistons done by a friend so I'm not sure of the condition. Seals were replaced and they were not unbolted. When I bled, I just did the front. Thanks, lines. floor, for might your Were repl

You said that this happens after a few good stops... Does it also happen if the car is stationary and you pump the pedal. If not I wonder if perhaps the calipers are hanging up a little and causing t
