Yeah, that is the bits that didn't really come off too well, will be getting some sanding disks onto that before it goes in for the cage

It will just clog up your sanding disks, use a hairdryer or heat gun and a small scraper. Once you have 99% of it all off use some thinners and wipe down the inside and it will come up a treat.

Haha, I read this after spending an hour or so clogging up my buffing disk, it just smears the stuff around. I also tried the thinners and it works a treat at cleaning it up. A few more hours with a heat-gun, scraper and thinners should have it looking good Thanks for the advice

GO SLOW BITS

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought some bigger, and hopefully better brakes. All the bits arrived this week, but won't get fitted until the car is back from the cage builder, and I have bought some rims to suit, unfortunately the RPF01 Enkei's won't take the bigger rotor/caliper.

The existing brake setup was R33 GTR Brembo's, DBA5000 Rotors, PFC01 Pads, and Earls braided brake lines. Was pretty darn good, especially once I changed to the PFC01's, however I still think with a stronger brake setup that there is another second to be had at the track (Wanneroo).

The new brake setup is the AP 6Pot 355mm rotor, with ProjectMu H18 pads. I got a pretty good deal on all of it, and aslong as is works as well as it looks then I'm sure it will be up to the job. The plan is to try and squeeze these brakes under a 17" rim, which should be possible with a few different rim choices (i.e. LMGT4, TE37's, Buddy Club P1's etc).

INTERIOR DESIGN

Well I've finally had enough of cleaning sound deadening from the car, it's not perfect but its already consumed more hours than I care to think about. So I went to the local auto-store and bought some Holts Duplicolour in Dark Metallic Grey (as close a match to the factory paint as I could fine), and I started to paint the interior parts which didn't have any factory paint on them. The colour matches well, but the 150g can didn't last too long, so hopefully the paint comes in a bigger size can

Does anyone know what the switches on the clutch and brake pedal do, and whether I need to keep them ?

[TiTAN]

The clutch pedal, no you dont need to keep it, but it can be useful for setting up launch control/flat shifting should your ecu support it. As far as the brake pedal goes i am not sure, i have never had a play with that one.

[Boss-zilla]

As above for clutch, brake is for the stop lights.

:( I think that was about the best option if you could pony up the cash. They will last take a punding year after year.

Good to hear you like the PFC01 pads too. They are about to release the compund i have been waiting for in a Porsche pad so finally going to get to try them....cant wait

Thanks for the advice on the brakes

The PFC01's are awesome, only reason to try the PMu was simply the price, got two sets for the price of one thanks to there sale

Car goes off to get its cage on Saturday

Quick question about the rocker covers, Paul. Who painted them, and what sort of paint did they use? A mate and I are both getting ours done soon.

Cheers mate.

A guy called Ross painted them (but was many years back, so don't think he still does it), but no idea what type of paint it was to be honest. Checkout some of the stuff that Craved does, will give you some ideas http://www.cravedcoatings.com/gallery/gallery.html

The car is still getting the rollcage installed, hope to pop out there over the weekend to find out how it's progressing.

Me driving this thinking it had to4 when it really had GT3076 = lolz

What actual rwhp have you got with that turbo?? I was under the impression the GT30 series would make about the mid-400's before running out of puff, but I recall you saying it still had around 500. Just interested to know because once I get the 044 installed (only thing stopping the car running more boost) I don't know whether to stay with my GT3076 or get a GT35, not much point getting everything done & re-tuned for an extra 20hp lol

Didn't realise you finally got another sticker, but remembered you saying when it did only then would it become full-on race car. Will be good to see this down at Barbs soon

Yeah, the TO4Z was much more insane to drive than with the GT3076R. When it had the TO4Z Brad turned it around within 30meters of leaving the start line at AHG

With the GT3076R we're currently pushing out 486rwhp, but that is fairly pushing the turbo/engine. For most street applications I wouldn't expect as much. Hoping that when we convert to E85 we can easily get 500rwhp but without having to work the engine as hard.

Hoping to get it to Barbs within the next month, as I just spoke to the cage fabricator and he said I could probably pick it up on Thursday

What ever happened to this car! I know the thread is old but i was getting into it..
