Look at me: actually talking about "driving" a car that's still scattered all over the shop (two floors even).
Ciao!

: Hi Jim,
:
: You are talking about disks so the pads
: are right at the rotor most the time
: (not retracted). Therefore the only
: increase in pedal travel will be from
: the increased volume attributed to
: larger diameter piston bores. What
: should not be significant since the
: pads are already "right
: there".
:
: The PDWA works on pressure differences,
: not flow. You would have to have a
: very significant volume difference for
: the pressure to be so off that it will
: shuttle the valve in the PDWA. I would
: not anticipate a problem.
:
: There should be a lot of background on
: Toyota calipers on sites more focused
: on the TR6 so you may want to visit
: some of those sites. I have a friend
: whose Chump Car team was considering
: the Toyota caliper conversion but I
: don't think they carried it out but
: with with better brake pads instead.

: Hi All,
:
: I'll be fitting the Toyota four piston
: brake calipers to the
: "Franken-6" (catchy, ain't
: it?).
:
: Question: I have to assume that the
: Toyo brakes will use a bit more brake
: fluid, which will mean further pedal
: travel. Won't that cause the rear
: brakes to lock-up early and continually
: give me a differential pressure warning
: light?
:
: If anyone has the answers to these,
: please let me know of a good
: mitigation(s). (TR6 rear cylinders,
: maybe?). I'm thinking of designing a
: diagonal braking system to avoid the
: differential light problem (messy - it
: would probably make Medusa look like
: she needed a perm)
:
: Ciao Y'awl - Jim M
