Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

Haha!!!

Thy turn up on Monday. Do I stick them in before EC or totally destroy the 2500's?

When it comes to beers, Paulie knows

My 2c, I use the 29s and love them, 2500s I really don't like - upsets many when you say it, they feel like blocks of wood compared to the pagids. Have a heap of bite and feel all through the temp range.

This is track car only though, for the street the pagids are much better behaved though, the 2500 need temp before they quieten down and brake properly.

The pagids for me when cold only make a little tinkle - very quiet, 2500s on our Evo you see people winding up windows and peds hands over ears!

I believe the 29s are an evolution of the 19 or am I mistaken?

[levinboy]

Put them in for Tuesday and lean on them and see what they are like

[Piggaz]

Paul,

I didn't think the 2500's were an issue on the street. Worked straight out of the driveway. I was a little concerned about the RS19's being a bit annoying when cold but you say the opposite si that's great!

The guy I spoke to said the RS29's offer a bit more initial bite but all in all they're the same pad.

I will report back.

Not coming to DECA?

[paulR32gtr]

Nah they keep organising it same weekend as targa high country so can't make it. Was looking forward to drooling over you car! Spewin

On the 2500s, now I think about it they were actually better with that Alcon kit you have - I had the same kit on my 32, not so nice on the evo. Still pagids all the way for me!

[Piggaz]

Ah damn .

Interesting about the pads with that kit. They don't seem to like too much heat. I have left the rears as is considering the size of the rear rotor (350 mm). I can always change them later on if it feels unbalanced.

[Aggroman]

yeah 350 rears... doing it tough!

leave the 2500's in so i can inch closer to that bet!

[Piggaz]

Whales belly is full of E84. Bring on Tuesday!!

[Aggroman]

Didn't now E85 looked like a rainbow

[Piggaz]

Lol. That's what steveo has as my "profile photo" on his phone.

Sigh

[fatz]

400 for a decent set of front pads is nothing for a circuit car

bargain

[Piggaz]

So, after Tuesday, it looks like I have broken or bent a tooth in second gear.

Time for another aftermarket gearbox.

PPG straight cut dog box? The OS 5 speed doesn't cut it!

[Marko R1]

Did u pull it apart to confirm yet? I thought your symptoms were 3rd gear? Unless you're already on the turps and not thinking straight

[Piggaz]

Definately second mr Marko

[Marko R1]

When u pulling it out? Fingers crossed it's a quick fix

it doesn't cut it????

How or more importantly why dud it break

[Piggaz]

Dunno why it broke.

I pulled the boost down to 1.5 bar (minimum I can run). Came in second session and second gear was knocking. Terry at award thinks its a bent or broken gear.

Dunno when I'm gonna pull it out. I'm a bit heart broken ATM.
