I wouldnt waste money on 6 pots matt

I don't consider it a waste of money... I'll decide if more stopping power is needed after seeing how well the brembo's pull up with the power increase. Will you be competing round 1?

U wont be pulling over 400rwkw will u???

I am getting car back from ICE today but couldnt tune it properly coz it was a sweat shop on the dyno today. Gotta play with the suspension still coz i wasent happy it it last time at calder so not 100% sure

What tyres are you looking at runing INASNT? Whatever they are, put them on the car and go see Geoff at Techsport

He is over your way, champion guy and knows how to set up cars. Tell him its not your daily driver, so you want your alignment to give you the best you can get out of what you have....The settings between street tyres and semis is different, so make sure you have your track rubber on the car

no but i like to brake late into corners :P calder is a little hard on the brakes... the brembo's will still do the job, but i dont mind a bit extra in the braking department so why not B)

Roy i am looking at running a set of 17 inch semi's with some enkei's I am looking to get off wayne.

How much different does the alignment need to be as I recerntly got the alignment done with the new camber, caster bushes went in

Im running 2.2neg front and it is nowhere near enough with the shocks/springs that i am running. I need to get it back up to -3.5. That sux daily driving.

I think i have -1.8 neg rear and 0 toe which works really well with the swaybars on full hard front and rear.

Castor can stay the same, but things like Toe etc, plus i have read repeatedlythat if you want it done properly, you shoudl get it all dont with the exact rimand tyre combo you plan on running.

Thats far from expert advice, but its what i like and seems to work with my car

Yeh, kinda works that way...and on street rubber my car is fine...But with the semis on i kill the outside shoulder. At Sandown the front right tyre took a hammering. I have a bad habit of trail braking into corners which i think tortures the front tyres more then need be?!?!?!?!?!

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
