I know some guys were talking about this conversion a while ago but i was wondering if anyone had an article or any information on converting the drums to discs on the rear end of a TA22?

I'd like to know why as well. The stock drums are perfectly adequate for street use... if you want better brakes it's the fronts you need to worry about!

I have a Celica RA23 diff assembly in my Corolla, with standard drum brakes. And after doing a few hard laps, I think I was understeering into the corners a bit due to poor rear brakes, and I was holding the handbrake a bit (at 100kph) to get a bit a of rear bias.
I don't like to modify my car too much, but I will be looking at rear disks soon. (Got 266 x 20 disks with hilux 4 spots on the front).
I don't think there are many well written articles on this. Its still a case of find whatever brakes you can, and adapt them any way you can. Just remember that you need a working handbrake.
The easiest thing is to get a whole AE86 GT-Apex rear end. They have LSD and disk brakes, and often 4.3:1 gears. They are not imposiable to get, I think Yahoo or Option1 have one now for $900. There is a couple for sale on Yahoo Auctions Japan also, but you have to get it here somehow.

Have you seen the rear brakes on AE86's? I've seen pushbikes with bigger brakes!

Jonny2tg I am hurt. Well written articles indeed!!
If you have a look in Articles (rear disc brake conversion on 23/28)here on your one and only toymods site there is a step by step guide to converting your T series rear end to disc brake. It is a bolt on and gives you the same rear brakes as a rt141/2, and as it turns out v8 dunnydoor.
Obviously I need to take some lessons on writing sometime in the future.
