Hey Everyone,

I know I'm a little hard at times on my brakes, but the constant shimmer I have (they have been skimmed twice at service) leads me to believe that the Stivo brake discs are too small.

I priced an A.P. setup for my car, $3200 :lol::ph34r:

Would anyone have an Idea if there is a reasonably priced way to upgrade the front discs to something larger, perhaps with twin pot front calipers.

I'm not after a full race setup, just a good set to cope with the odd mountain charge and the like.

I have tried PBR, and they don't do discs to suit our cars (original spec they do, but no high performance).

I know brakes aren't cheap to upgrade, but if I could find something for even a bit under 2k$, I'd be interested...... any suggestions??

I hope your getting them faced under warranty.. :) I ve had mine done once already due to disc runout and have been told they will be replaced if they have issues again.. B) Factory rotors are never made outta the best stuff.. Some slotted rotors will fix this issue just nicely I reckon.. If you feel the brakes are poo on the Stivo, cane a stocker round for a few days.. That will soon change ya mind.. :D

I hired an auto Ascent in Cairns, and flogged it up the road to Kuranda (10 minute each-way fang), and it held together pretty well- :lol: authough, I had the auto locked into second.. ;) for the engine braking as well :P :P

But fundamentally, the ascent has less power & skinnier tyres.... my corner speeds, and critically- my corner arrival speeds.... were much lower.

And yes, under warranty :D

DBA have been advertising their new "Kangaroo Paw" discs on Melbourne telly on the weekend.

There's a completely different casting pattern inside the disc, giving hugely improved heat dissapation compared with their regular ventilated discs....

Gotta be worth a try ??

Depends on how hardcore you want to go... on my AE112, I reckon the brakes are pretty **** (twin pot, but both pistons are on the same side = effectively a powerful single piston caliper).

I have just ordered Brembo 4-pot calipers for it, with custom zinc 315mm rotors (stock size is 255mm), cross-drilled and slotted (purely for aesthetic appeal :D), with slotted pads so as to reduce the effectiveness of the brakes to prevent lock-up.

Cost me $2560.

um.....

instead of changing the rotors why dont you try the little things first?

- Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines (ADR approved ~ $100/corner)

- Upgraded Brake Fluid (I recommend Redline Oils)

- Upgraded Brake Pads

my 3.9764730021 cents worth

They will DEFINITELY make a big difference before you start going to the expensive upgrades. New brake fluid makes a big difference - I have a can of TRD DOT5 brake fluid if anyone's interested :P haha

Also, you might want to see if Cusco or someone similar makes a brake stopper for the ZZ Corolla.

Definately try a set of decent brake pads before spending a truck load of cash on new rotors. i am currently investigating with a company I deal with about making semi race and a full race pad for the Sportivo. The semi race pad will work from cold so street application is fine but works under extreme braking conditions as well.

I should have something in concrete to tell you about hopefully before christmas if not early in the new year.

Cheers SILVABULLIT.

PS. prices haven't been set as yet so when I know you'll know :D

done done and done.

i asked for disc's, not fluids.

any other brands available for cross and cross-drill?

there is no such thing as a cross rotor

not that u asked for this but i am going to say it anyway

using a cross-drilled rotor will be problematic (unless u are getting brembos) and overkill for the streets. unless u are after the pimp/race factor.

Slotted discs would also work a treat as another option, as opposed to cross drilled, probably a little cheeper too

So...you guys & gals would pick slotted over a slotted+cross drilled?

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
