13BVW I have pics of the brakes but they arn't on the car yet, im still stripping the car back to the chassis so it can be soda blasted and painted before it goes to the pannel shop.
Anthony, will be running the standard comp untill everything is ironed out then later on still planning on using the apexi power FC at this stage, They are still available on fleabay... The main thing is to get it on the road first, and i've still got a long way to go.

This front brake conversion is a copy of what I have on my Daily Driver Squareback.... Works very well.... But I thinking about upgrading the master cylinder to a golf deal and upgrading the rear discs to some of Neils Falcon jobbies.... The current Magna rears are a little under powered compared to the fronts... IMHO.
We will be pulling down these brakes soon to make some copies of my adapters and then we will need to modify them to suit Lukes car and the drop spindles on my LP beam (63 Notch) and Neils LP beam (Dragon).... Yes thats right.... I have a narrowed LP beam in my Notch!
Stay tuned.....

Hi
Those headers look pretty nice, but maybe a bit low.

Steve, You are right, it has been difficult to find a set that 'hug' the motor enough, they will probably have to be modified, as well as shortening the sump, as well as moving the motor back in towards the car a couple of inches bit. The airfilter isn't going to be haning out like that, it will be plumbed back into the engine bay with venting to allow fresh cool air.

Old turbo TD05 and the new VF34
PUNCH_BUG ·
vintage vee dub, uses the bug nose cone on the bus box.... built with a super diff and albins gears.
PUNCH_BUG ·
Gene Berg mid mount which at the moment has been welded in, however I think im going to modify this as well as the factory nose cone mount to allow the motor to go back a couple of inches.

wanna sell me that TD05? PM me

Sold a long time ago sorry.

And I think it was me.... Thanks to Seagull.... So when you gonna let me see this thing Luke?..... And those brakes I'm doing for you are going on the proto project list in the next month hopefully....

Simon, come around anytime. Although it's not much to look at the moment. Beer will be cold. 🙂
seagull ·
No you have a TD04 simon , the TD05H is on the blue wrx race car
bugdv8 ·
bell housing to fit subaru engine to kombi gearbox ,
not cheap though. allows use of subaru flywheel ,
pull to realease subaru clutch and the better subaru starter motor , would go great with that nose cone adapter.
hey nice job so far. Two questions for you: those front calipers are they rx7 or possibly skylines? The 091 adapter you got, is that a local berg copy, it looks cast is that right? what sort of coin is one worth? I was going to get a cnc one from Canada but they are 500.
Cheers for you time
Stephen
seagull ·
lukes keeping the bad guys off the street
The front calipers are Rx7 correct , these are compact & work very well
The 091 is a beg unit $350.00 ish + shipping , however the burg units are only made for 1800 boxes , so we had lazer cut a adapter plate to space it out 8mm , this also helps keep the box from spreading apart .The box has been built by chris ( country ) in Perth , there is many tricks in side this box with further selector slides fitted on the shift rods .Chris builds all the off road buggy race boxes & does alot for Albins when they need some thing done right .
PUNCH_BUG ·
G'day Stephen, Only just read your post, the adaptor was from vintage vee dub in the states, took months to get here, it is a cast but some of the wait was for the CNCing to be done. The bloke makes them for drag bugs in the states. According to him the geneberg ones have much thinner walls and tend not to last long and end up failing. I can hunt down the details of where I got it from if you want, if you are going to get one, pay the extra and get it posted by air.
Its still a pretty big job to get the 2lt box with the EJ20 in the back though, will be good in the long run but a lot easier to use a SSP 1600 box, Ill put some more photo's up soon, I've modified the mounts a fair bit, moved the gearbox back 100mm and also rasied the motor up so the clearence should be fine with the standard sump and the headers that I have on (I hope).

Hey Luke....Have you got a complete strut and spindle you can chuck my way.... I've done all the other project stuff for other peeps and I'm ready to start on those RX calipers for you... I have made the brackets for my LP beam equipped Notch and it should be a simple process to mod them for your car...
Give us a call when you can...

cheers for the reply, i've got lots of goodies for my 091 and lots more on the way when funds are available. Nice job with the fd3 calipers, i have adapted wrx calipers but they are to big so I was considering this as a more cost effective option.
Stephen

Simon the struts & spindels are here as well as the calipers & hubs

Cool.... I'll be over on the weekend Neil.... Have you machined some discs down for the hubs or is he planing on using something else?
PUNCH_BUG ·
Finally after shortening the horns 100mm's plus refabricating the mounts, the engine clears the body.
Hopefully when I fit up the new fenders up it will all come together and the decklid will be able to close.
PUNCH_BUG ·
Side on view showing the MUCH better clearence.
humpty ·
Looks good Luke.... You trial fitted the engine cover yet?
seagull ·
I am getting stub sleves done on the NC , this way you just press the sleve on & fit the RX7 hub with the mazda bearings .Saving around 30 % on the VWcool set up & giving you a OEM fitment + the over all set up is a very fast conversion for some one that wants to do it at home in there drive way .
I have placed an order for 6 sets of RX7 brakes & hubs & disks
PS : how about we remove the air con pump & fit a super charger ! thinking here we need more power
PS : I will be looking for some thing vw based to run this 2.2 subaru turbo motor 🙂 what shit you got laying around that could handle a 12/9 sec pass with out all the pannels & rust falling out of it cojack ?
PS: 😏

that car is now very light ! & god is looking at you saying its now getting fixed ( better than biging in stock & rusting away at your place )
yes ther adaper will work & yes I will get a lazer braket made up when the adapter comes back from the machinest

I have done my template for the bracket already you know... But mine uses the Supra rotor.... Dunno how different that is to your Mazda rotor.... Must compare me thinks....
