Want to put AW11 manual rack in TE72

Re: Brake problems
My mechanic told me that I had not put on the calipers properly and that it was barely loosely fitted. He wasn't able to show me but he says when i change the pads again or do something with the brakes to call him and he'll tell me exactly what i need to do to have the brakes put on properly.

Re: Brake problems
Finally fixed the problem guys. It was because the way i put on the front caliper. Apparently it was only a mm off and it caused my whole system to go bonkers. >_< apparently the ae86 front calipers are like that.

Re: Brake problems
No it doesn't sink all the way. But it's not as stiff as when I pumped it up a few minutes ago

Re: Brake problems
So what happens when I pump the pedal when the engine is off is that it stays firm. Only when the engine is running is when the sinking happens. The check valve works so i assume that the booster is fine.

Re: Brake problems
Ok I'll go ahead and try that out. Another problem that I'm having though is that the pedal slowly sinks to the floor. I have been led to believe that its the MC but I have replaced that at least 4 or 5 times now and still to no avail. Do you think I just keep getting a bad cylinder?

Re: Brake problems
The TE72 and Ae86 have the same master cylinder. 13/16 bore size. Many people have done the swap to ae86 struts and im pretty sure they got the brakes working fine otherwise they would note it somewhere that I would need to upgrade the master. But would the proportioning valve be a possible cause to...

Re: Brake problems
its towards the top of the caliper. And we even bled it the old fashion way with 2 people. Nothing was seen that was flexing, ballooning or such.

Brake problems
Hi all. I converted my te72 front struts to ae86 struts, resulting in me upgrading my front brakes to ae86 calipers. When this happened My master gave out and replaced that. However after replacing that, along with the booster, the brakes were still too spongy that it would go all the way to the flo...

Here are some shots of the e7 with new wheels! Sadly...it doesn't fit...yet. But the fitment was a lot more crazy than I had originally anticipated. Not sure exactly how I will attack this road block but rest assured that I will make it fit. Whether it be fender flares or some crazy fender roll/pull...

My shifter shakes like crazy when i maintain speed in gear usually 3-5. I'm guessing thats the transmission mount thats the cause however I am open to more suggestions. Any idea guys? Also if it is the mount will the ae86 tranny mount work? Its for a TE72 and same t50 tranny. Thanks guys!
