This is a long story, take your time 
Whell... thought about opening this topic a bit, and I decided to do it. Although it is not a racing nachine, I am planing to do some serious work around it and make a proper road-fun-ass kicking car of it. Also I am documenting everything that I do around it so...
Let's start:
I found my Hachi in the midle of town, which is mission impossible because Zax, Hrc, Dodo, Kas and the rest of the crew already bought every single one of them
Anyways, I bought my car from a man that was in a hurry, he was going to Germany by bus. We did the premeral paymant and wrote a confirmation on a peice of paper. He was of by bus and I was off with my new car... Right then I was a proud owner of a neet and tidy Celica mk4 (ok, a bit rusty but not bad at all)
and now I had to get rid of it because I needed the money to get this:
in driving and MOT legal state...
That was realy fast. Celica was sold in just a couple of days for 1 500€. People said that I could get more, but I didn't want to drag the sale for a year...

Welcome to the club
Looks not that bad. Has it got any major rust spots?
ZaX might have missed this one because he's been too busy drifting his 200sx around europe

Meshin lookin' what went in front of his nose... I feel sorry for him, he did most of the work about finding the owner... he left the note on the windsheeld of the car and the dude called him first.. But I saw the car before him and let him know... Better luck next time Mesh... we will find another one... 
FORD cass inside... blaaargh- away with that..
You can get the picture what kind of jerk drowe this car...

Got the car to Sole (the best exhaust sistem firm in Croatia and wider, expencive but the best of the best... )- got my self that sweet gift, I wanted it to be as it is suposed to be...
From header down is left stock (Sole said that standard is RESPECT done... equal lenght, 4-2 2-1 neetly done for stock exhaust- TOYOTA RULZ!)
How neet is this
The job was done and I transported the car to my girlfrend house (she has a biggass yard and a proper garage... )
first test!
looks like LSD is working...
work started imediatley..
my garage sponsor- Maria and Jura (labrador) and her Starlet EP70 (rally training car- beast)
he carpets were filled with water
taken out to dry them
while on the subject- allmost everything was taken out- my frend Mario- man with steel will and golden hands (owns a Supra mk4 turbo- lives on beer, good jokes and cigarets)

front right brake was blocking... so I started there...
No wonder... they didn't put ceramic or copper grease on the skiders of the caliper... but standard lithyum that melts it self on like 100degrees celsius... It was almost impossible to get it off
I manage to do that, again with a little help of my friends- Rio Cyber did this... respect!!
Bought new rubbers in Toyota and repaired all brakes on the car, including the main brake cilinder and clutch cilinders... Peice of cake, only the main brake cilynder was done with ae92 rubbers that were not Toyota original so it got stuck, had to buy new one (used) from Hrc- thanks HRC!!
Here's how it's done:
get the piston out- I used the compressor (be careful, put good amount of cloth or somethig and hands away from the piston- it pops out like a rifle)
detail cleaning of every brake caliper
if something gets stuck use these tools from left to right
this is one bad mother... 3m penetrant- wonder oil!
dry the caliper housing thingy
clean and polish the piston
clean and polish the sliders
put new rubbers on and use glycol-sylicon based grease that Toyota provides in the kit
the sliders and inside the rubbers put enough copper or ceramic grease (not too much)

on front calipers one slider is fixed (bolted in)... Check that bolt, if it is not tight take it out, put some Locktite on it and screw it back
rear calipers are complete story for them selfs: DO NOT REMOVE THE THREAD THAT HOLDS THE PISTON IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SSTool
you have to rotate the piston counter clockwise, take it out...
than you have to remove the ring that secures the spring...
you can do it easely if you have the pliers for removing the rings (they are widening when you pres them), or with a screwdriver (carefully)
than just remove the threaded thingy out with pliers (careful, dont grip it too much because you will damage the thread)
if your piston looks like this:
Polish it... it is verry easy if you (by chance) have a milling machine
When you did all this, replace all rubbers with new ones, grease them whell and star reasimbling the calipers...
this is not the way to do it:
you need to push the spring and tin part down and put the security ring back in... Not easy because there is poor space and you have to get it just right...
first off you need a SST...
I found mine in old rear brake caliper piston of AE92. The thread is M8 but with 5 step threads... not standard and easy to find. So you brake the old piston that you don't need any more (buy used, in a poor state), and take out this part:
then it goes like so:
and screwed to the end...
put all in and put the ring back...
woula!!! Done...
I repeat- use this kind of grease for the sliders:
and you can use the glycol silicon based red one for the piston and rubber rings in the caliper...
You just screw the piston in to the ende and you're left with putting everything on the car
I used Textar pads and new Delphi oil...
Main brake caliper did't go so well so I better not talk about it
cluch calipers are so easy that it's not even worth talking about it
Ah, yes, take down the brake booster, youre life will be a lot easyer when taking down the main clutch cilinder

Cheers

Making good process, though I feel that the garage sponsors deserve more publicity
PS: You never replied about those Keizer wheels..you need me to check with the team? i'm going over there this afternoon.

Whow, that body really looks in good shape even with the water damage on the carpets. I'd expected the whole thing to be rusted underneath!
Good work on the calipers! nice writeup! amazing you got those pistons in shape again though...

update:
Whell to continue the story...
I bought the car from a fraud... The car was not his at all... found out that later... The car was bought from the owner and than re selled on... The original owner didn't get his money so he sued the buyer... When the car came to me it went trough 4-5 people... I found the owner (don't ask me how) and changed his mind. He canceled the sue and sold me the car (so I bought my Hachi twice ).
So I now hawe clean papers, MOT! JIPIIII
Long story short... It was raining sunday so I went and did some traning...

Now, I am going in debts... have to borow 80€ of my girlfriend to buy a lamp that is broken (it was broken before I bought Chiro)...
Hope not to get it in habit...

here...
Today temperature got realy low... about 0 degrees... So we are waiting for snow...
I went and bought 4 Barum Polaris tyres... we had a form of group buy (Hrc organised it )... Got the tires, put them on steel rims, got them in the trunk and on my first right curve punkcured the right back tire... Got sideways and noticed an old lady crossing the street, leveled the car front and hit a big hole on the road...
It was a good chance to change to new winter tyres...
Also Chiro has a mind of it's own...
Yesterday the starter was working like a clock. Yeasterday evening, after traning some in the rain (and getting 10L of water in the passanger side) turned off the engine, got to the store, came out, tryed to start it again and it was dead... Pushed the car to start, got home.
In the morning it started like a clock, no problems with the starter... It fixed it self...
Today after getting new tyres, it started fucking with me all over again... Again, It won't start... no clicking from the starter... obviously it has some contact problems... but I can't emagine what it is... I cleand it and remounted it some week ago... It was working fine...
What could it be...
