AE86 drum to disc conversion.
Read that somewhere there is some dramas around the emergency brake and stuff, not a straight over swap.
Can some one elaborate.

From what I understand, you must change the whole axle from a Trueno rear end.
Cant attach disc brakes to the rear because there is no where to attach the calipers without getting something engineered. If you somehow manage this you wont have a handbrake anymore except if you use hydralic and they are apparently illegal.
Not sure if I got it all correct?

Yep, you'll need the handbrake cables to suit the disc brakes, on top of having to modify lots of points and pickups for the callipers, while still retaining that marvel of overstressed engineering: the S series diff centre and axles!
