Guest Conan Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 257mm single piston ventilated disc brake and caliper from AE101 or AE111 Corolla along with 55mm ventilated disc specific wheel hub to make it all work. This would replace the naff 243mm solid disc setup with 54mm hub. Nice. Maybe a steering wheel too if one pops up. tooSavvy and Parky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'd quite like to spend a bit of time over the festive period working on my van and my beetle if I'm honest. I've got to the point I've had totally enough of having cars I don't really like hanging around, so I might do a bit of a session getting rid of stuff too, new year, new chod and all that. Aside from wanting to replace the Pug with something larger and a bit more reflective of my looming mid life crisis, I guess tools and stuff never really go amiss. In all honesty though, I'm not even sure if there's much I do need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispian_J_Hotson Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Nothing. If i explained to any member of the family what they should get me for the car for Christmas, they'd stare straight through me and start dribbling because it's not for kidz and doesn't involve food.

mercrocker Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If I get my Christmas bonus it is going on a back box and tail pipes for the Merc and possibly a window surround repair on the T25 If I don't get one it will be some Gun Gum and a tube of sealant. robinmasters and Tickman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordperv Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I know Mrs fp has got me a new low entry high lift trolley jack and a sandwich plate for in between my yb and t5 gearbox, my mum has got me a new cone filter for the yb (Mrs fp got the right one and passed it on) Other than that I don't know I might treat myself to a brand new super duper braided wiring loom but I'm indecisive at the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I have asked for a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. Green. No vinyl roof, no leather seats. I am expecting a (good) bottle of port.

Guest Conan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 2004 Corolla T Sport Calipers any good? Not if it's halfway across the world! They gotta be from E100 or E110 anyhow as only E80-E110 are interchangeable. They went with entirely new design on E120. tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetleysmooth Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Now that I'm getting to be a knackered out grumpy old git, I wouldn't mind a portable electric compressor with some air ratchets.
