Definitely sounds better, still not 100% though. It's not our fault things kept breaking. Lol thanks for the help though dude it was much appreciated. I think we ironed a few bits out. Shame about the battery/charging/holding charge issue. Something not right somewhere. Once that's sorted I can start figuring out the rest of the wiring issues.

kidV Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Mr Rob, have you changed the starter/alternator since the positive/earthing wire issue?Possible it's made one shat it's self?Just an idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 No that's my next venture, starter must be ok as it does start just the battery either isn't charging or holding charge. Or at least that's where my train of thought is heading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Disc pads calipers or big upgrade?Ill be looking for something a little more substantial. Currently running glanza grooved discs and project mu pads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ahh yeah i had to uprate from them after a short track session, unfortunately big brakes are a fair whack but so far my WMS seem well worth the money, but i guess the real test will be when i get it back on the track!All the best with the hunt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I would definitely recommend single pot GT4s as a budget but very effective upgrade! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
