They did at castle comb but I'm pretty sure everyone ignored themHaha reminds me of the end of one of those track sessions were it got knocked mid corner, no-one saw it until it was nearly too late *Update*Ok guys finally a proper update! I refitted the interior, along with the Optional 3-Point Rear brace and C-Pillar brace. The C-Pillar brace needs a bit more tightening when I can find a big spanner, but so far it's a big improvement even unlowered, it's very point and go The springs and clutch will go along soon, as well as these bad boys which turned up today!Late Spec ST185 single piston calipers & carriers, the piston are the calipers themselves are massive! I know the calipers are being held out a lot further than the ones on the car, but they seem a LOT bigger. So much so, that with the 275mm discs, I'm worrying that they won't fit under the wheels lolAnd a picture of my new clutch Also need to get my parts off James@CJ which I keep forgetting about lolC&C welcome as alwaysAmjad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTnomez Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Your rims in the picture are similar to my TOMs where the go into the wheel with an outside lip. Due to that i found it REAL hard to get any clearance at all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Aw no don't say that! Was it just offset, an sorting it by using spacers on the wheels?I have got my MR2 wheels to go on instead I guess, the NA rims are just on there because the MR2s are bare metal atm!

GTnomez Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 ^ Speaking of different wheels, i put on my BK temp alloys which are flat multispokes and dont go into the wheel like yours above or my Toms.There were more clearance issues with them too, the inside diameter of the 15" wheel was catching on the caliper so out came the grinder again and i had to shave two parts of caliper off. On the caliper you will see R or L, some numbers and an MOT triangle sign on the inner of the caliper, this had to be ground down.I took pictures for you yesterday too. The bare metal is the parts that need grinding. You will see once you mock it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gauges looks sweet, you getting a boost gauge in BAR or PSI?Thanks Dan, I've already got a cheap one in Bar You fitting the clutch before jf2, you thought about were youre going to mount the gauges yet?Yeah I think one of my mates has found someone who might do it for £50 so hopefully getting it sorted next week at the latest! I think I'll just put the gauges in the middle of the dash-top. I thought about a pillar pod but it's more un-necessary cost and obviously access to the touch panel would be nice!
