Wheels, tires, wheels… — logbook Toyota Caldina 2000
The machine was purchased on a regular casting on the 15th radius. With Bridgestone summer tires and Nokian Hakkapelita winter tires.
Agree, she looks too ordinary on them.
Therefore, the first thought after the advent of kaldinochki was to replace the discs with a more beautiful and larger radius.
Further operation of the car showed that its brakes are not effective for it, which by the way is very often mentioned in the relevant thematic forums. The fact is that they are so-called "hardware" (that is, the working cylinder of the caliper on one side, and the other side of the caliper is a bracket) and poorly cooled. As a result, the force is less weak than we would like, plus, with active driving, after a couple of good brake releases, the brakes overheat, begin to “swim†and braking efficiency drops sharply and strongly.
The solution to this problem is the installation of brakes from the Toyota Celica in the back of the ST205, which get up almost like native ones and are devoid of all these shortcomings.
And that's where it all comes down to disks. If the brakes from the "seeder" are installed on the machine, then the regular 15th casting simply will not fit, since it will not fit in size and reach.
In this regard, all were found and "obtained" alloy wheels of the 17th radius. Tires 215/45/R17. The casting is called TMW (Techno Motor Works) and is made at the Enkei plant in Japan. Dimension 17r x 7j ET38. They were trial installed on a car, they drove for a couple of weeks, until winter came. It seems to look okay. So, tires for them will be purchased for the summer, and with the departure of ice from our roads, the car will be transformed due to new shoes.
Quarrel for the quality, filmed on the phone and at the car wash ...
PS The first photo on the regular 15th casting ...
And in winter, there is still the 15th casting, what is on the top photo.
It's just that the seventeenth one appeared already at the end of autumn, with bad summer tires, so I put it in just a couple of weeks, so that the tags could be easily changed into winter tires. At the same time, I checked how the seeds look on the car and whether they are hard to ride ...
Many people say that it is very hard to drive seeds with low profile tires. I pumped 2.4 atmospheres into these places, only 2.0 atmospheres, the flight is normal. Not very hard and pits in the fifth point do not give.
Let me clarify a little. 15 discs are original, but not from GT-T, but from ED/Exiv :) Seeds look good. Will you drop in the summer?
Click on "reply" next time, otherwise I don't see it differently right away. But somehow I didn’t think about the spare wheel, this summer the yolk came in handy once. So you need to look for a spare tire from the Seeder) This winter I drive on stock 15, but gently more or less :)
Yes. I think I'll take used tires in good condition, and I'll cut through the whole summer on the eighteenth. Well, part of the spring and autumn too ...
Although, if you still stick the brakes from the 205 Selick, you will always have to ride these seeds.
Basically, I don't mind. Only the question remains with the spare wheel. Will she get on the 205th brake. And then I like to go somewhere far away, and it’s not very good, as it were, when there is no spare wheel. And throwing a full-fledged 17th wheel into the trunk is a waste of car space, while a good dokatka quietly lies in a niche under the trunk floor.
Understood. I'll remember.
Thought the same. I'll have to get a spare for the seed drill somewhere.
If only she got into a regular place in the trunk of Kalda.
