[Dutchaccord]

Awaiting my tax refund....

If you're going to CNC machine those brackets, you should chop me up a set. $$

a few teaserpic's:






DAUMENDICK !! ghehe 32mm a tad overkill?.....


Finally i can proceed....... aditional steup CAN be made.....

[xScott]

Damn, that is over kill! I like your DOHC VTEC sticker too, its tasteful.

[cp[mike]]

finally got those discs in!! look great man.

why do i remember seeing a pic of a caliper mount bracket already made...?

anyway good luck with it, ive been following all of your porsche brake threads since the beginning.

btw i want your sidemouldings

[Dutchaccord]

got some more work done, finally getting somewere (sorry for the bad pic's... it was getting dark, had to take them quick)

I decided to go with porsche 964 (4 piston) calipers, they had the best fitment and wil fit ANY rotor thickness



sitting in the trunk



the calipers need to be widened 3mm to fit the willwood disk



the old rotors are used to fab a temp. test heart..... ultimatly it will be machined out of 7075 aircraft grade aluminium


more updates SOON (atleast that's what i hope)

feel free to comment-flame-ask

i've seen your caliper bracket made as well. i'm sure it was you since you are the only one crazy enough to put porshe brakes on a 4th gen. you sure your DIY hands didn't tell you that you made a bracket?! hehe jk! good job on the brakes. just like cpmike, i've been following your thhreads since the beginning. dang i want it to be done already. the ultimate DIYer strikes again!

[pwrusr]

This is going to be awsome when it's all done

[accordzoom]

the ultimate DIYer strikes again!

That's the truth.

Hey dutch i have a question, will the wagon rotor wit on my 92 coupe hub? I want to install them and im not worried about the caliper i have ones that will fit. But just wondering if the rotor and caliper is the only thing I need to swap.

[Dutchaccord]

yes the wagon rotor wil fit the hub, the only thing u need to check is the caliper bracket... T23 or T25... not shure wich one dont remember, u'd have to look into that, the rest bolts right up... goodluck

[Dutchaccord]

did some more work today

did some research on the caliper bracket. I need to remove the original mounting points and drill/tap some new ones perpendicular to the original mounting points (caliper). There is plenty aluminium to do this

the caliper clears the wheel by bout 12-15 mm in diameter, but needs some more room to clear the spokes..... the disk needs to be bit further back in ----> to far and it'l be hitting the lower arm

Too bad the rim's blocking the vieuw to the caliper.... let say it ads to the sleeper look
