Sounds like a set of pads you have there then lol

Pm me price please if you dont mind so i can start saving ha

 

[joehirth]

Decided to rebuild my Brembos as I was getting imbalance in the brakes, old pads look shot from track time:



Can't really see but the dust seals had a lot of contamination from the oxidising surrounding the piston pot



Now freshened up





New fluid and dust seals

Nice to get some responses on the thread again, it's been a while.

Ah brilliant Gav, nice to hear I can inspire others. I hope to get mine out on track and insure it as my second car, for the first time, this year. Also good to see some old names/ face coming back.

Very nice car. Can see a lot of work has gone into this but all looks so good
Top work bud

 

[lexyy]

Awesome car! Nice to see some familiar cars still on the go from when I had mine I'll be joining back in shortly, buying mine back

 

[joehirth]

Thanks for the good words guys.

Been a little slow recently whilst I wait for some revised bells to be made up.

Anyway, that aside we have upgraded from a set of garages to a unit, fairly large one at that:







Finally tucked away

 

[joehirth]

Finally got my disks back after they were redesigned due to a incorrect offset. Calipers bolted in place, pads installed to check fitment:



P.MU look nice with the red

Still ringing around to get some insurance quotes but I think in May I will have it on the road.

 

[pigeon fancier]

Cracking car,enjoyed reading about it.
Looks like all your hard work has been worth it.

Great thread. A lot of info that IV been looking for. I have an ibiza running 252bhp that I use only as a track day car.
1 question. I don't know if I missed. Your baffled sump. Is that a forge sump ur baffle plates welded in?

Only this morning was I considering selling up. But this has given motivation to keep going. Need to book another track day now.

 

[JayFR150]

lovely car you must be very proud !

I'm happy it's inspirational for others, I nearly sold about a year ago... then decided it was too far to turn back. Let me know if you fancy a track session together. As for the sump I believe it's a BDM one made by Alex, he now does these via AKS Tuning

lovely car you must be very proud !

Thanks Jay, I'm itching to get it back on the road now so I can listen to the gearbox properly.

 

[joehirth]

Heavy day at the unit today, first nice day so tome for a clean!

You can see the tailpipe adapter I made to silence the car on static noise tests!








Can sort of see the new bells





Chuck in a couple of these too, mates Capri coming along nicely:





Had the car running for a good half hour or so since I had to start it to move it outside, so I decided to leave it get up to temps properly. Everything sounds OK but I think the brakes need a bit more of a bleed.

 

[Luke ED30]

loving this

 

[Luke ED30]

bet its a ripper lol

I have now insured the car for the road.

Something that has taken my fancy, is the GT3 style/ race look. A few reasons really:

1. Some rust is re-appearing in the rear arch
2. The rear looks lost compared to the front
3. Potential handling/ larger wheels (easier to find pre owned slicks for)
4. It's in keeping with the rest of the car, at this stage
5. Why not I think it looks mad

The next question is what do I go for, what do you guys think? Fibre glass style, mould/ get them sprayed and blended with body. Metal alternatives (potentially)

Also how far do I go, I was thinking something maybe up to 50mm or so.

Anyone good with photoshop, could you help me out?

This is my inspiration:

 

[cupra.al]

that would be pretty cool im interested to see.
there was a guy on here who built a 4wd mk3 who recently said he cant afford the project anymore and was thinking of selling up might be worth giving him a message he had the rare wide arch kit as well.
