So I was up till 4AM thursday taking advantage of the beautiful warm weather we had. Brought the car to my pop’s garage and utilised his air tools to add my latest mod. A 4 piston Wilwood Big Brake kit with 2pc fast brakes rotors. I previously fitted one side to see if my 18" rims wouls clear these immense calipers, and much to my disappointment, no where close. So you can imagine how large the calipers really are. I, therefore, ordered a pair of 15mm hubcentric spacers from Ichiba and waited patiently…and yesterday, with perfect timing, the spacers arrived. I quickly shot down to mississauga where the work then began. Please excuse the dirty rims and car. Here are some before shots… ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_before.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_before.jpg) Original rotors with original calipers…sitting under my 18" Phantoms. ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_before_angle.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_before_angle.jpg) Another before shot… ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_before_rotor.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_before_rotor.jpg) Original rotors and calipers sans rim(notice the purple suspension peeking out? D2 baby!) I then proceeded to remove all the nessecary components. But I left the original caliper attached so the lines wouldn’t fill with air while I was working. Removed the rotors and removed the studs. Had to modify and reshape the back rotor splash shield considering I was going from a 10" rotor to a 12.5" rotor. Fitted the mounting bracket and new caliper…and it didn’t fit! The caliper was hitting the neck of the suspension…so out came the grinder. Modified the suspension so everything fit snug and secure…installed the new studs. Mounted the rotors and calipers. Then the spacers… ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/spacer_flush.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/spacer_flush.jpg)The 15mm spacers pushed the wheel right to the edge. Once the car was dropped back on the ground. the rim sat perfectly flush with the fender. I think I will still do the wide body mod. ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after_angle.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after_angle.jpg) My pops inquired about rubbing, but I have 7kg and 9 kg springs…so I wasn’t really worried.😃 And the final product! Please note the before and after shots were of different sides. The before shots were of the drivers side, and the after shots were the passengers. Incase you were wondering why the calipers were in different positions. ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after_straight.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after_straight.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after_close.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after_close.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f376/bohead/bbk_after.jpg) ---

They probably weigh about 2 or 3lbs without pads. I kid you not. I can pick up the calipers with one finger. 2. Kits are built in house in the US. 3. They’ve been around for over 2 decades and have developed a serious reputation in the racing industry. 4. 4th Gen maxima calipers and 2pc rotor kit retails for 2000US…let say I got it at a VERY good deal. ---

> [@A Classic!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-classic/639/8): > > any other mods you going to be putting on??? well… its winter so a lot of my mods are on hold. but here is a list of things I’m working on during the inter months… 1. redoing LED tails…utilizing superflux LEDs in stock housing. But I am am now creating LED signals and reverse lights. 2. redoing my HID Projectors. Creating Demon eyes and considering a foglight projector inside the housing to double as a signal light. Similar to the Jettas 3. Sourcing Carputer components to integrate my car into my home wireless network. 4. Skirt kit sitting in my garage awaiting painting and installation. I guess that’s it for now…But I’m also looking for a STS, Stage 1 clutch and keeping my eyes peeled for a V2 SC… But financially, it might ALL have to go on hold as my pops and I are looking at a used 911 targa right now…oh what to do, what to do. ---

project wise… 99 maxima 89 944 turbo 63 GTO in Vancouver waiting to be shipped potential 89 911 targa…if vendor accepts our offer and my winter beater 93 protege GT is always a project car. Other than that…daily driver cars include 2001 Jeep Liberty Ltd. 2004 Infinity G35 Sedan 2001 Civic coupe And a Classic 1980 Ford Extended Clubwagon in mint condition…still running too! That’s why the GTO is still in Vancouver…no where here to store it. I guess you could say my pops and I are addicts. Heck, we’re attending racing classes together as members of the Porsche club. ---

We’re not rich…just found good cars at good prices and fix them up ourselves… And that’s another problem…we don’t have much time. During the summer its different, but in the Winter, we only get a couple warmish hours during the weekend. And you can never have enough cars. We;re thinking of converting the garage into a tandem garage so we can store everything. Either that or I sell my house downtown and buy a farm up north with a heated barn…that would be the sh!t! ---
