what disks are you using?

If they're from a starlet, the setup should be the same as it is on the starlet, but that's the only drum-disk swap I've heard of that works. I also heard it was expensive. Does the starlet have abs? if not, then that's why your light's on.

If you're using something diff, you're probably on your own.

Have you got a digi-cam? Was any wires running to your old rear axle? I'm doing the same conversion on my 93 tercel and I found out the pads are expensive in the USA! :arrgg-matey:

The proportional valve is the same, no need to swap, but you will need the hand brake cables.

i have put the same sensor in

i don't know what happen

Was the starlet axle rusty or dirty? Pics would really help a lot.

the axle is good and the caliper too.

i ve got ABS

certainly the ABS is not compatible with the Rear disk Brake

since 4 months i cannot use my brakes

how have you done your conversion

Posted

i know it might be an expensive way of doing it but have you taken it to a toyota specilist? They may be able to sort it all out for you? ;)

Do you know where i live ????

in REUNION ISland !!! :eek:

do you think that in REUNION island there are some GT starlet : NO !!! :censor:

I bought the REAR DIsk BRAKE conv with EL PROTOTYPES (impossible to contact them , and by phone too...) in USA .....

:arrgg-matey:

a TOYOTA specialist they cannot help me ... :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

I saw that JOhn BARNES MOTORSPORT does this conversion impossible to contact him and certainly he doesn't want to reply to my mails....... :crybaby::crybaby:

If someone in this forum could contact him i will want some informations:

- is it necessary to use a VALVE???

-why the ABS light is on ......

thanx

$i am very disapointed with my SEO ,there are 4 monthqs that i cannot use my car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as I was concerned, rear brakes are largely interchangable.

Most cars with ABS already have disks all round - certainly Seras with ABS had rear discs, Seras without didn't have ABS.

Are you trying to add ABS as well?

my PASEO is a ABS model

Our conversion on Matt's Paseo went very smoothly, that's because I ensured that I sourced the correct parts from my colleague in Malaysia before doing the conversion.

Myself, Matt and my supplier did a lot of research about the setup before even attempting the conversion. :bookworm:

I made sure I was sent an EP82 complete rear disc setup without the ABS.

Then fitted it to Matt's EL54 Paseo after machining a hole for the ABS Sensor.

Then we took 20 hours meticulously installing the kit and checking that everything functioned as it should.

That was it! Sorted! :thumbsup:

No need for a new proportioning valve either, Matt has probably done near 5K miles now and everything has been perfect. :P

The reason that I have not been willing to help you out is because you were not willing to buy the conversion kit from us in the first place. :cacker:

Instead you took the info that I gave you and you then went and purchased the parts from another company.

If you had purchased the kit from us then you would have received all the parts for your specific setup, and the technical support that you may have needed, should you have encountered any problems. :blink:

Anyway, good luck. ;) Hope you get it sorted. :beer:
