"i have escort gt calipers on mine :iconbiggrin: but you cant fit 13 inch steel wheels anymore :sad: only 13 inch aluminum wheels... "
Really !?, that's new to me. Good to know for future reference, thanks. Im planning on using these 14"s for this project.

even with the bigger calipers i have on my car with the 15's my breaks look TINY
i hate it... im gonna talk to my friends friend and see how much it would be to make a "caliper mount extension bracket" to bring the caliper out as far as it will go before it hits the inside of the rim so i can fit a HUGE rotor in there 
maby ill get a set of brackets made for some willwood or brembo calipers bling BLING

No rebuild kit, just a good inspection some parts swapping plus a good cleaning. Some rust removal on the caliper pistons with very fine ( 2500 grit ) sanding. Cleaned the seals with denatured alcohol then lubed with brake fluid. Same on the other seals and boots. Used brake grease where needed. Took my time. Same process I did with Frankenstiva. Hopefully the results will be the same.Originally posted by FestYboy View PostLast edited by freshtiva; 03-14-2010, 01:19 AM.sigpic

Some 13" steelies might still fit. I put the 13s from my blue Festy on my 323, which has Aspire-size brake components. The Metro 13s wouldn't fit in front, but two others would. One was from a Datsun 310, and the other might have been from a Honda but I'm not sure.Originally posted by sasquatch View Posti have escort gt calipers on mine but you cant fit 13 inch steel wheels anymore only 13 inch aluminum wheels...90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

Swap part two the rear
What can you do on a snowy day ? Fire up the wood stove and work on the aspire swap. Everything is all finished now ( except putting them on Fantativa ). Might wait for a nice day to do that, if we ever have one.

Hey Fresh,
Fatativa was the name you were going to give that sweet 90 LX you had talked about,have you found another LX or was this project car pulled from the heard.
Whats the status on LINDA BLUE did you sell her.Great looking brakes.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment

No I havent found a new LX. The Fantastiva concept car may be culled from the herd. No, I couldnt part with Linda , shes part of the family.sigpic
