As luck …

Yeah I felt much better and less intimidated about the possibilities after I did this story. Really excited to start digginginto this car as soon as the MR2 is up and running.

Nope. You're my engineer for this whole rolling clusterberkeley of scope creep!
Speaking of which.....
Just shared this on social, but figured it would be applicable here as well.
I'm in. Basically converting an early 80's style Trans Am thinking to something more in line with its potential.
Step 1: Ask GRM.
Step 2: Wait for AngryCorvair to chime in.
Step 3: Bask in information
I can't help but note the similarities between that picture and my JAGUAR's brakes.
or should I say the weird way the rotor is installed behind the hub?
