Can't wait for this to be done. You have done an excellent job AllianceAutoSport

I can't wait to order. Under $800 is a pretty good price.

 

This is fantastic! Now I gotta start standing on the street corner to scrape up the money.

 

Under 8 bills sounds great. better than I hoped.

Thanks

 

I'd like a shot at quoting these. If i can't beat your price, i have several small shops that we offload work to that have a much lower shop rate.

 

I want the mounting brackets asap and any other things that aren't buyable at napa/wrecking yard/toyota

 

My plans are to sell this as a complete conversion. I have to much R&D in it to just sell the brackets and other custom made pcs. Besides every part in the kit, bought or made has been modified in some way.

 

- to selling the kit as a whole. Your work is highly appreciated and when it is all said and done, I'm going to want the entire kit, myself.

Keep up the good work.

 

^^ X2

I mean you did all of the leg work and we just sat here buggin the S out of you for updates.Keep it as a whole kit, because you designed and fabed a full kit.

Congrats Mike. I know how long and hard you've worked on this project and it's great to see you finish it FINALLY! Umm...now we need to talk about discounts for your fellow club members...LOL

 

It's nice to see this is nearing completion Mike. Great job man.

 

Ok, this install and testing is officially done. I do have to replace the brake lines still, but that is minor. The kit has done what I wanted it to, so its time to move on to the next project. For those that are interested, please PM me for more information, as I am about to start running the parts on the machining centers. Thanks for following along and being so patient.

 

OK, the conversion will include:

All mounting hardware (bolts, washers, nuts, etc..)
CNC Machined Caliper Brackets
E-Brake Cable End Mounts
Cable Clevis’
Clevis Pins
Cable Stops
New Toyota Brake Rotors
New/ Remanufactured Loaded Toyota Brake Calipers (modified)
New E-brake Cable Mounts at Caliper (not the same as the stock one)
Rotor masks (so the inside and outside of the un-used portion of the rotor can be painted before installing it)
Brake Adapters for Stainless Line at the Chassis
Chassis Adapter Clips
Banjo Adapters for the Stainless Line at the Caliper
Stainless Brake Lines

The stock xA/xB rear hubs have to be modified for this conversion. So I am going to offer two different kits. One without hubs, so the DIY’er can mod their own (which I will post on here what has to be done and there will be instructions included with the installation instructions on how to mod them)

The second kit will include already modified/exchanged hubs, with a core charge. Then the core charge will be credited when I receive the unmodified customers hubs back and they have been tested. This kit will be a little more, but you’ll get a portion of it back with the returned hubs.

Note:
New E-brake Cable Mounts at Caliper (not the same as the stock one)
I had to have these laser cut. The new calipers don’t come with them, and Toyotas warehouse in America and Japan no longer carry them. The few I did end up buying from salvage yards were badly rusted!! So I just ended up making some new ones.

I think I’ve included everything about the conversion, except the price. Because I am not a supporting sponsor yet, please PM me for more information. I wasn't able to get below the $800 goal, but I tried. I just couldn't make it happen. Comparing it to another conversion on the market that runs $900.00, that utilizes the brake shoes inside the rotor hat for the e-brake (which is why I wanted to do this, to get away from the shoe set-up), and using used salvaged parts for their conversion. I think this will be vary competitive with all new parts, and a shoeless design!
Thanks,

After someone mentioned something to me and speaking with a few people about this. I do not think I will offer this second kit the way I was planning to. I will modify anyones hubs who purchases a kit for a fee. The reason behind this decision, and it makes sense, is. Some guys run camber which has put a load on the bearings in the hub. Lets say I get someones hubs that have 55,000 miles on them, and they were used on a cambered ride. So I modify them and send them out with the next kit. And 2500 miles down the road a hub fails. I would be the blame for selling a bad hub, and I don't want that.

So rather than an exchange I will offer the un-modified conversion (where you would modify the hubs) and a modified version that would include new modified hubs! This would eliminate anyone getting someone elses abused hubs. And then as stated above, if you want me to modify your hubs, I can do that for a fee. I would only need the hubs for one day, so they would have a fast turn around if any of you decided to go that route. Sorry for the change-up, I just want to do this right for everyone.

Mike

 

Smart decision Mike. As soon as you mentioned an exchange program those very thoughts ran through my mind.

 

Great job Mike on the kit looks very good. Weapon-R will be purchasing on of these kits as well for their Weapon-R XB. Rear Disc Conversion FTW!

 

Although I appreciate the amount of effort, design, etc... I can't see paying 900 for something that really doesn't benefit the car much if any...

 

There are alot of items we install on our rides that some say aren't beneficial or needed, but we still install them. Because we want something no one else has! Honestly, I have had two people that didn't know anything about an xB, besides it looking like a box, and they actually said they've never seen one of those cars (xB's) with 4 wheel disc brakes! Then I had explained to them, they didn't. I personally thought it was pretty cool that a non-scion owner noticed it.

 

Yes you are correct. Many xB owners put things on there car that are not beneficial or needed. Most items though are not 900 bucks.

Hey I understand you need to be compensated for your time & effort. I hope this project pays off for you.

 

does it fit the xA? i really am interested, and would like to know
