Oh cool! Thanks for the heads-up... :redface: You read so many threads and I get confused on what is needed.

I know exactly what you mean. So many conflicting views on what parts are needed.

Basically on the PD130 you pretty much need the lot. Carriers, calipers, pads, disks, brake fluid. The only thing you can re-use, are the hoses.

Cheers for all the good comments.

Stef. Im not sure on the wheel colour yet. One plan may be to have two sets of wheels, one for the road that are just plain silver, then a second in an extremely bright colour for track.
Brakes work really well, although ABS kicks in a lot more now. No issues with balance weights.

Ash. Yep should have a very BIG update coming May/June, all being well.

Mike. Found them in the for sale section on here. Paid £90 for carriers, calipers, hoses and pads, then the disks were £80 from crnproducts.com.


mine came this morning just got to sort out discs and pads now.

i carryed them to work today in my back pack about killed me :cry:

If you ring up the TT shop, they sell calipers, carriers and hoses for £100.

Then all you will need is disks and pads.

Slight update.

Nothing really been done lately, due to spending on other things.

Just got some serious dollar though, and should have a major update over the next month or so hopefully.

Also, its going in for a custom turbo back system tomorow.

De-cat, with a small silencer.

Bit of preparation work ;)

Ssssshhhhhh.

Was keeping it quiet.

Not telling anyone when its being done.

Just gonna turn up one day, and unleash a mass raping of all cars.

Will try get some videos tomorow once the exhaust is on.
May take some time to get sooted up.... Or maybe not if the ambient temperatures are as high as today.

Stefan;
Yeh went with custom pipes again. Paid £300 for the lot, and i wanted a small silencer. Bit too loud for everyday IMO with straight pipes. Is 2.5" bore all the way back.


Ash; Your silencer is actually a bit smaller than the one i got. Sounds so different to mufflerectomy though.


Gonna nip out and get some videos in a bit.

Dunno about yours fella but mine is loud, but nice loud. Theres a lad around here just had a decat and has no silencers whatsoever, just a straight pipe and i reckon mine sounds so much nicer! How'd you rate your new system against mufflerectomy?

Mine hasnt got the woo noise at the moment, but my old one didnt either until it bedded in, so might do eventually.

Id say yours will still have it no matter what Stef.

Didnt get chance to get videos last night, but should be off out for a ride later with my mate, so will get one then.

As for how it rates against mufflerectomy, there in a complete different league. The mufflerectomy has nothing on this system. Complete different sound altogether.
