Glanza_cl Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 are you going to roll and flair the rear arch? personally i think it looks a bit odd, but with a nice flair it would work soo much better.plus i would want to get it done and out the way in case pulling the arch cracks the paint and you have to rub it down and touch it up again.just my opinion of course haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 the wheels give her a savage stance bro! looks ace!!!!also, never knew samco did an oil return pipe! i keep learning with these cars!lookin good man, can't wait to see it all painted up!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks guys, appreciate all the nice comments!The rear arches are going to be flared or fully blown using fibreglass (similar way to the fronts) - it's just time required that I don't have. Braided lines are from TM-D, and yes I'm 90% sure it's a proper oil line, it has a Blue lining inside if that helps at all?Another small update..The Wilwoods brakes are once again fitted, along with a new master cylinder. The brakes need bleeding once over again, and I also need some very small spacers as the Rotas don't clear the Wilwoods. The running in process should start soon, however there are several small things that need completing before that. It's just things like vacuum hoses, refitting interior panels and fitting a new bonnet with pins. Pictures soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 good to see ma filter put to good use i put on some 3mm spacers so i have some clearance for ma wms brakes most pathetic spacers ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Good news buddy, so was your master cylinder fucked? Dont tell me I need a non ABS mater cylinder now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I changed the master cylinder to a non-ABS one when I removed the ABS, but that was buggered. Not sure if it was different to the ABS one though, so yeah I've fitted another non-ABS one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
