'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
'90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

This car didn't have working brakes, so let's fix that.
Rear brake caliper was ****ting brake fluid everywhere. This seems to have blown out the wheel seal and cooked the wheel bearing. Got to remove it all with hand tools only. YAY. Got a new one pressed in for $32.

Sport brakes don't really fit with the non-sport brake shields. Mild customization required.

A whole lot of FML. I think i need to get a proportioning valve and stop trying to integrate race parts into a street car system. So stupid.

Anyways, car still doesn't have working brakes. I have two leak points right now caused by faulty hardware. Front wheel bearings actually turned out to be fine, but my driver's front upper balljoint is toast. Le sigh.

Mis-matched wheels, some big ass tires, and a performance alignment after work tonight for the NB! -1* camber, 6* caster and -.05 toe for the front. -2* camber and .05 toe for the rear. Drives so nice now. The 205/55/16's help tone down the Rs from that damn 4.30 Torsen.
Now I need to sell some parts, so I can buy another pair of Enkei Compe's for the front. I might also try to find some Kosei K1's for AutoX tires.
