Yeh once the car is finished i will be buyibg some 18" rims for the street. Will be either satin black FR18s or bronze TC105s. If the TC05s i have fit then the new RE30s i have at my desk in Melb will get flogged off. :) I regret buying new rims which before i have had a chance to fit have become common :(

Opps OT. How about a well designed wheel will cool brakes better then a 18" chromie wheel :)

yeah I think the weds we have troy are the TC05. not the 005.

these are the 005s. (i like them too. weds are the goods. all of them! just a shame not all of them are forged, like the XD9s etc, look nice but cast...).

I think they should be ok. When I insert the spigot part of the drawing into the gap in the wheel up to around half way there is clearance, but if I push it in all the way the 'caliper' touches on the rim slightly.

I'd check it out in person to be 100% sure

Thanks for checking. I'll get the brakes fitted and trial fit as everyone is suggesting.

Well, my brakes turned up today. Pics attached but I'm sure we all know what they look like. Rear hat is aluminium which is nice. Everything came as it should have done. Now for the fitting next Monday and then 1000kms of normal driving before they get onto the track. I've got 2 weeks to do this in before I'm at Sandown.......

Funnily enough, the recommended (by the vendor) run-in procedure is simply 1000kms of raod driving. No hard stops. No getting them hot etc.......Seems contrary to what I've heard, but his view is that only old pads needed this approach and that only old blokes still advocate it.....Hope that's not too controversial.

Got to get the coils changed too. Hopefully get them tomorrow from Slide.

In my dreams. They're in the sanctuary and sanctity of my office. I'm wondering if she'll notice once they're fitted. The irony is she has absoluitely no interest in my bogan-mobile but she seems to spot stuff with a hawk eye........ :) and keeps mentioning some 'secret fund' she thinks I have..... :D

Must be brake week.

My stuff went in on the weekend. Can't say if it works yet as I haven't done the other end. Just the M/C & front rotors & callipers. They will shortly be hiding behind these puppies..... :)

So your stuff has gone to a good home, Troy.

Not sure if it helps in the braking stakes but the brand whore count is heading North. :D

Im running Project MU single piece slotted rotors with Project Mu Titan Kai Front Pads and Project Mu HC+ Rear Pad's. No troubles pulling it up on the street with 400 KW at the treads at my disposal. Abit noisy though :)

9 pages later here they are. Funily enough I'm more excited about how they look than feel right now. Pedal is slightly softer than was (probably more piston area with the 4 pot rears) but they seem to work great on light and medium application. No sqeal so far.......Obviously not had the chance to stand on them from high speed so news on that is TBC.

I feel like a kid who had too much cake at the party. Over-indulged, but completely satisfied......

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
