Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
Hey GT and everyone,
I have just ordered a brand new set for me so I will get those pics posted as soon as they are collected.
I should have mentioned that I was/am going away on my honeymoon so just so everyone is aware I am happy to take orders from people (just PM me with what you would like) Dont worry about payment as yet, I can send emails to grab that from people when I return.
I am currently in sunny America and will be returning on the 15th May. I can order discs the same day I am back and turn around is 24 hours, I then get the machine shop to do their magic within 4 days shipped to you. Budget about 1 week from payment to delivery.
I hope this is o.k. with everyone, I better get off imoc before my wife catches me as I am supposed to be on holiday.....
Thanks everyone,
Wayne

Sounds good Wayne. Enjoy the sunshine cos its crap back here!!
All payments have now been received for the adapter kits, so I will be endeavoring to get to the machine shop before they close at lunch to place the order. Failing that I will do it Monday.

Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
Hey all, I placed the order this morning before work. They've advised a couple weeks turn around due to current work load, but in the past they have squeezed me in so fingers crossed they will be able to do the same this time round.

If someone needs cheap front discs and also dont want to add any rotational weight:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA- ... 0748457807
I got these and they work fine. I actually got these for the rear to. Took them to a machine shop to have material removed to allow fitment for the rear calipers.

Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
How did you get on with the rears in the end?
Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
What i did?
I think i removed 2.5mm on the back on the whole surface.
and 2.5mm on the front face but not all the way to the center where you mount the center aluminum adapter, closer to the center where you mount the adapter to the disc i think i only removed 1 or 1.5mm to get the correct offset, and also there is less material on the disc closer to the center.
If anyones interested i can go check the rear measurements more precisely.

Sounds great, but i'll wait a little longer before I place an order. My bank account has to restore from the past few weeks (invested quite a lot in the MR2). I will contact you somewhere at the end of the month to place an order.

Ah well, there's no haste (at least not from my side). As long as I got them before the next MOT i'm fine(somewhere in Feb. 2013). So far this groupbuy is going very nice and smooth! Thanks for that!

Yes sorry this GB is closed as all parts are on order.
Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
Hi everyone,
As promised I am back from my honeymoon and after my unpacking and putting the first of many wash loads on I have gone and collected my new discs and have taken pictures this evening to show you the finished article.
These discs above have been grooved, drilled and nickle plated to help prevent rust, remember the nickle will come off of the disc surface where your pads make contact. These discs are the ones required for this adapter kit.
Price for all 4 discs standard with no drilling, grooves or plating is £195.
If you want a front set, rear set or both sets you can have them drilled, grooved and nickel plated on ALL 4 discs for an additional £50. People can mix and match on these additions so maybe just nickel plating or just grooves no drilling, etc.
Just send me a PM if your interested. Thanks for your patience, Im think delivery will be about 1 week from me placing an order to get them to your door.
Kind regards,
Wayne

Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
Thanks for posting up Wayne. Can't see the pics from work, but I'm sure they will look great.
I collected the adapters yesterday, and have chased the bolts today as some of them were on back order. With a bit of luck, everything should be with me next week

Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
Hi, yes sorry for the lack of update. I'm still waiting on a call from Toyota to say they've got stock of the bolts. I will be chasing again first thing in the morning as I'm hoping they have just misplaced my contact number or something. Adapters are all here, and the other bolts/fittings too. Just waiting on the Toyota ones and then I can package it all up. Will update in the morning once I've spoken to the parts desk.
Thanks everyone for your patience. I hate keeping you all waiting.

Bolts are due in tomorrow. That will give me the long weekend to get them all packaged up and sent out

Re: 7th Official SW20 Big Brake Adapter Kit Group Buy!!
There will be another GB if the demand is there. I'll set up a 'name catcher' thread soon so people can put their names down to show interest. I'll message you once that's done mate.
I don't physically have a copy of the file, that's held at the machine shop.
Cheers
