98 v5 type r

 

Like you and many others, Simon was my go to mapper. Top bloke who'll be deeply missed. As for the car, just go lower with the Rays

 

Going to swap the cusco coilovers for some KW variant 3's, will see what simon at chevron thinks as there needs to be some travel in the coilovers for optimum setup rather than hitting the bump stops for the sake of looks

 

One day I will have a white type r parked next to my blob Sti! !

 

Good choice on the swap Agreed, function over form, but that's not to say scooby-wrx's car doesn't handle well. I've been meaning to head over to Chevron. What costs are involved and how long does he need the car for?

 

Im popping down in the morning will ask the question for you

 

 

Yhpm and some new pics, KWs still need to go on yet







Favourite mod bar none

V6 Type R Track machine, at Bedford Autodrome in May.

 

Cheers, I had already bought them before you put your pics up but your pics reminded me how awesome they look. You also made my mind up to get the OEM 1/4 panel stickers again. Spoken to Japan parts and couple of other places and waiting on a reply

 

Perfect.... Love the type r's banny love the wheels on yours

Heres mine

 

A few of mine had it nearly 7 years now

 

Love that first pic

 

You can tell that it's been taken with a quality camera and a man with a keen eye

 

This will be mine in a few weeks time the holy grail of the type r's . The first made 1997 v3 sti type r in white .

 

Love it, but I am biased. The only thing I would change is the rear brakes to 2 pots.

 

No need it's fitted with brembos all round

 

Cool. Bought some Brembos for mine but decided I wanted to fit the oe 16" rims for winter use so its a no go due to wheel size. With decent discs and pads the 4f2r oe setup is really good.

Enjoy it mate!

 

need some of these,,,



hahaha

 

I agree Tidgy (old car but same combo on the new one)

 

hehe, o and thee on the back,



only thing is the screech like a **** at low speeds

 

Are they my old ones by chance? When a subsequent owner sold all the good bits.




There were very few cars fitted with the 308mm kit, back in the day.

Fantastic brakes though. I never ever suffered brake fade on track.

 

TVR Cerberra pads fit 308mm AP's perfectly as well

 

no mate, this is the 330mm kit, got receipt from when it was fitted at the time it came into the uk. over £2k new paid by previous owner

 

I had a Newage with Brembos when I sold the R.

The brakes were woeful in comparison to the APs.
In fairness, I think a lot of that is down to the two piece discs.

 

this is outstanding!
