<-- try some of this

 

4mm thick caliper spacers required, unless they are 1 piece jobbies.

Kev,

Car's looking great (even with those blue mudflaps ). I'm amazed it's keeping so clean - but then again, there appears to be little time to drive it at the moment??

Keep up the good work!

 

gets driven once every other weekend atm ....oh, i went to blockbuster in it last night


brake piccies

can you guess what they're off?







you can see where my problem is getting 28mm discs in, can't you?



the discs, gone a bit rusty already




think i'm going to need something more than 4mm spacers to get these to fit Paul

 

MGR V8?
Why didn't you simply buy some AP's for the right disc? (apart from the crazy cost)
Why not contact AP see if they have spacers to suit, this is how most of the applications are made up anyway, standard cylinder sides and space to suit.

Last night my picture test drove me made, but worked (eventually) and this morning they don't!


911.

 

get yourself an account here http://photobucket.com/ alot easier


they're off a MGF Trophy believe it or not and the calipers are bespoke for MG so AP won't have spacers for them they were alot cheaper than buying the right ones

 

Photobucket is not taking new members at the moment

A good machine shop should be able to make up the spacers to suit
IIRC the MG/AP pads are really cheap

 

hope you're right about the pads, or are you joking?


my weekend involved lots of this



wish i'd been outside in the rain fitting my exhaust instead........not!

 

That was a shock! They have them like that at Hill climbs too.
Lost for (sensible ) words..............................

Hubba
So? Whats her phone number?

IIRC they use the same calipers in the MGF cup cars.
I think I read on here that the pads were pretty cheap because of that (serious)

 

she's modelling my car next week........i wish!

 

got a free weekend just need to get my project Ka out the way first

half thinking of ditching the AC, it's all plumbed in but it's never been recharged and i got through the summer without it

might try the exhaust first off this weekend

 

Ditch AC!!! yeah yeah! :dance:

You just reminded me, I have somewhere at home a picture of Colin Mcraes Classic with a similar exhaust fitted.. I'll try and dig it out this arvo if I get time and post it for you.

just not sure how the hell im going to hang it

 

under the car..

Are there no hangers on it?

 

nope lol i know that they use a strap around the back box, but further up i have no idea, i have some pics from autosports this year i might dig out (remember taking pics underneath the car).....autosports is a month away already!!

 

zip ties wonder how well the ceramic coating does its job

 

Can you not weld on hangers?

I just checked and it looked like I did up load the pictures but not much to go on..

looks more like what backbox? it was loud but not THAT load

hmmmm, wrong side too i'm hoping it's not going to be stupid loud this one, plus i'll be catted up and legal again

 

slower, quieter and legal..

are you unwell???

 

slower?!

 

Just looking at some previous posts regards the cel with apexi pfc fitted.
The constant cel is a high boost warning.
I had Andy F set mine up at 1.2 bar..
My boost peaks at 1.3 midrange so it comes on, when prolonged use over 1.2 bar(ie more than 1 or 2 seconds)

Just thought it may help.

PS.. thanks for the time and effort keeping this thread going.It makes top reading.

 

certainly does, i was only thinking of asking about it the other day, now how do i go about clearing the memory?



no exhaust fitted today, had chance to offer the new brakes up though, got some more measurements, looks like they may fit, just need the brackets making up

 

Andy F...he said if he`s near me he`ll reset the boost warning a touch higher...
I`m sure for a few quid he will do it or even advise how to move the warning limit.

guess what i fitted today might need a bit of tweeking though, i appear to of lost what little ground clearance i had lol sounds good though, not as loud as i thought which is a good thing turbo whistle is more apparent and spool up seems a little better

 

Pic's Kev pic's

 

it's kind of dark out maybe in the morning

 

Will it pass the MoT? Just how low is that RA?
Need more pics.

i'll just bung the old system back on if it doesn't i worked out the clearance is about 50-60mm, but that's over the axle so normal speed bumps won't be a problem (famous last words )

 

and the ground clearance...






need to adjust the backbox bracket, seems to of slipped after my test drive
