Default Cheers Mocom.... :)

Well the car is finished!!!!!!!!

That gaping hole in the front is filled and today the boys at Mocom fixed the new brake set-up I've accquired.

But that's the final piece finished

All I need to do now is turn up the boost (Zak said 4 bar would be fine!)

Anyway, thanks Mocom and thanks to Sean... What an episode but it's a happy ending

No worries mate!!!!

It's a set-up that I saw a couple of the WRC teams use. Pop up anytime for some advice

It's all about weight distribution ......

Oh I hope he didn't spill the beans about the other areas I'm working on? Like a replacement for brake fluid!!!

No mate, that's all wrong....

If you want to take it to the next level..... the words on the caliper need to be the other way up!!!

Ian, you forgot to mention you cooling system only runs on Highland spring, for that little bit of Extra Pure Power.


Hope Ali was OK with the sleep-over at Seans.

That would make bleeding the air out of the system fun...

Those Bremsport Calipers look just like the CompB4 kit I had installed, I wasn't happy with them at all, hope you have better luck...

That's all part of the idea!!!!! You see air is lighter than brake fluid!!!!!

As for brakes.... well initially I thought they were not as good as the one's I'd taken off!!!! (then we made a few tweeks..... ) and although they are a completely different package to std brakes, they have 100% more feel and stop great as Zak will tell you from the mapping session we had yesterday

Can't believe you guy's are giving all my tips away!!!!!

At this rate I might as well have a "ask Bibo" section here!

I find that running the cooling system on a mix of coolant and Highland spring mineral water gives a little back to the environment and as a result actually costs less to tax!!!!!!
