Do you know if a 15 inch wheel will fit over those calipers? Or did you have to go 17inch to fit them??

yeah they are the same calipers as jacks, possibly the same pads but iv got different rotors. his are sv5000 rotors and they have a built in hub, same as the vl front rotors where as with mine, the hub and the rotor are separate like on a vt

90 10s + bigger brakes. kind of begs the question why? drag suspension yet not a drag wheel friendly setup.
i have a set of good qfm pads (brand new) with very high temp rating (750 c +) to suit r33 fronts and std vlt rears if anyone wants them, i got them cheap and will sell them cheaper.

just got the car started. wired it up with another body loom and it started straight away. exhaust dumped off the turbo FTW. now just got to rip out the dash and install the new loom and find a way to give power to the electric windows as iv only got an sl loom now
so if anyone has a calais body loom let me know!!

finally, cos here i was thinking that maybe because ur fuel is export that maybe u thought the calais could also survive on it.. octane rating is too low
