Artic Silver 2.8 track car project

Got the car up in the air today. Just as seller had said, fully poly bushed and a twin ear diff carrier fitted.

Gave her a quick oil change, although what came out was very clean.

Go forth and race young Andy! Any more thoughts on those calipers as I'd rather see them used as opposed to pi$$ing the wife off sitting in our living room!! lol. JIM

New front brakes on today.

Old ones,loads meat, but all 4 pads cracked

Brembo discs from ECP and EBC blue stuff pads direct from EBC

Got a week to bed in before the track day

 

[oldcarman]

I guess I can sell those calipers then @spurs fan in a coupe?? JIM

Subtle mid-track day modding

Oh dear. doesn't look serious though, if it was the other side it would be a cold air intake.

 

[Brian H]

Have a great day.

Was a good day.

Brakes cooked very quickly.

Had to replace the callipers when I got home!

Work to be done.

Car did well.

Even got my schnitzer wheels on!

Finally opened up a box from @Brian H

Bigger (3.0) brakes going on soon, and custom cooling ducts.

You can see the slight increase in disc size here.

 

[spurs fan in a coupe]

Got a few essential jobs done today.

New brakes (3.0) from @Brian H - many thanks

Also as you can see some of Brian's handy work on the fog light cooling ducts too.

Braided hoses on.

Subtle 'trimming' of the hub backing plate!

Brakes bled and high temp fluid in.

Got about 150 miles to bed in, hopefully there will be some bite before Saturday at 9:20am!
