allymcmurdo Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Supragal and gents, Before i get hassled to "use the search button" I have for the last hour to no avail. Basically I've cracked one of my rear discs and I need another std one.This happened because the caliper got all sticky,smoked the pad on a 200mile journey and the heat generated by the metal to metal contact (that hot I couldn't touch the wheel) cracked the disc.I think! I ve checked with my local parts guru who gets my pads etc and his supplier hasn't got any in the uk and they'll be few months before the slow boat rocks up from Japan.My local Toyota Garage weren't intersted and now I haven't got a Supe I can drive. So does anyone know where can I get one or am I condemned to driving my missus Gay Apricot Golf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 This is a long shot, but have you tried fensport? they may supply standard japanese disc's there phone no is Tel: +44 (0) 1354 696968 or +44 (0) 7000 336776 http://www.fensport.co.uk they used to be pretty good for supplying parts for MR2 (imports) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Have you tried the guys from here? Envy, Paul Whifbitz? Or JPS Motorsport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 You should also try TDI Powertuning, they have uprated ones for a very resaonable price. I am thinking of getting some of their fronts. Whiffbitz may also be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I suggest a post in For Sale Wanted. Many owners have upgraded brakes and may have a spare set. I kept mine for almost a year and they are now on two other cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 If your actual wheel, i.e. the alloy rim, got too hot to touch you may need a new wheel bearing or at least the grease repacking. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstormer Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Abbey Toyota got me a front pair of disks in 4 days. Most stuff available is less than 7 days. All genuine Toyota too. ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Mate bought a rear pair of brand spankers from Chris Wilson £104 for the two. They're wicked. So he might be able to do you one disc. I would replace the pair if you can afford it not just one. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allymcmurdo Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 £104 for the pair? Really? My local parts bloke said 125each plus vat! Woohoo!!! My Supe is running again.....almost! Thanks Justin!! I owe you a few Wets mate:) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I am now stocking German rebuilt jap spec rear calipers, as so many of them are seizing. They are indistiguishable from new Toyota ones, plated, new pistons, new seals, new dust rubbers, new nipples. Pricing available shortly. I hope to front ones available very soon.
