Scott's '95 Convertible BEAMS, Just a thread about misc. upgrades and progress Options

[scotttyb]

I just wanted to start a thread about the miscellaneous upgrades I'll be doing to my 1995 white vert. She already has a BEAMS swapped in so there won't be any interesting posts on that unfortunately. But I do have a few other interesting things in mind! One of the biggies will be painting it since the paint is looking a bit worn. I plan on going with a super white color.

Well here she is so far.



Notice the Curren tails and the awesome Borla exhaust!



Momo Course Rev 18" wheels and Crystal Clear side markers



And the BEAMS...



First order of business: upgrade the brakes/calipers/rotors and throw on some new tires!

nice job btw on celica so far.

The single piston caliper specs (SS-II) same as GT Celica:
Piston Diameter: 57mm
Piston Count: 1
Total Piston Area: 2551.76mm2 (25.5176cm2)

The twin piston caliper specs (SS-II/SS-III superstrut and beams model):
Piston Diameter: 40.4mm
Piston Count: 2
Total Piston Area: 2563.79mm2 (25.6379cm2)

Basically they cover the same area, but you should get even distribution of pressure on the pads with the 2 pots.


MR2 calipers
Piston Diameter: 36mm
Piston Count: 2
Total Piston Area: 2035.75mm2 (20.3575cm2)

1996 Toyota Camry/Avalon/ES300
Piston Diameter: 43.5mm
Piston Count: 2
Total Piston Area: 2902.93mm2 (29.0293cm2)
