Twinky wrote on Mon, 15 September 2003 21:58 | Hey, im really keen on ke20's now and wanna start building one up. I have a few questions though.
(1)Easiest/best front brake upgrade
(2)The best diff to use (has to be lsd)with disc brakes
(3)Im gonna run a 4agte, I know the mods to get the motor in, but wat gear box??? I dont wanna keep smashing t-50's. Supra sounds expensive and would include tunnel smashing??
(4) Hard to convert to hydrolic clutch?
(5) did the autos have a larger tunnel then manual?
Thanx

1) easiest is KE30-KE70 discs. only a step from 200 to 218mm discs, so only 10% gain. after that, you can put on vented ones (from some holden) with volvo 4 spots, but really it will take a little imagination, as there are not many bolt ons. you could always just whack in a rx7 strut, has been done..
best? brembos. got the $$ 
start by deciding what size rims you want to run, then what calipers, then fit the biggest god-damn disc that will clear the rim 
2) Hilux. LSD'd, good ratios, very solid, needs to be abused to kill it. rumoured to good for 600hp race cars (but they get treated a lot better than most much lower powered street cars;) )
3) W box. T will not hold up. afaik W box wil not git in KE20 tunnel. a T could last, but you would have to drive nicely, ie no slides, no burnouts, no abuse.
4) use early celica bits. should be easy. has been done a few times with different gear, just needs some measuring.
5) afaik, no. the KE10's had a wider auto tunnel, but that is only at the top, so the tunnel has straighter sides. afaik the KE20 is the same floorpan. will need to be widened to fit a W box.
hope this helps.
Cya, Stewart
