Got the centre out of wheel number 2 going to see if i can fit the band off a spacesaver onto it as they are just way to wide

Also got the second hub trimmed to fit the bluebird disc so now they are in both sides .will get it up on stands tomorrow and get a strut out and start making the bracket to fit the Mazda calipers on there I've lost my cardboard template so starting from scratch again

The familia calipers should be the same as the TX3 turbo KF lasers and the 323 BG's, Maybe even the NA and nb Mx5's

For pads if you can get them for these try forsa's I run these in the VL circuit car and they are awesome. IF for drag though you might have a butt clench moment until the pads get heat into them, although they are pretty good when cold still. I used to run the QFMA1RM's and these were good as well (high end street pad $119) BUT the forsa are even better and make the qfm's feel like cardboard

cheers
