Clinternational Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Very nice 1 for the intercooler mounting and radiator Looks very clean and proffesional!I think you'll need to change the hydraulic oil. As there is moisture into the dot4. En the radiator heat will cook the water in the hydraulics that's why it fails... boiling water produce air. Air can be pressed, oil not.The hydraulic pusher/lever on the gearbox are very weak.. Were's did you left the rubber for the vork on the gearbox ? Quote
shorty Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Hes on dot5 iirc not 4, and once the slave and a bit of the pipe was covered with heat reflective tape it was spot on. Quote
turbo Grant Posted May 27, 2014 Author Posted May 27, 2014 Pic of the simple fix for the clutch hydrolic faultAnd got some old school greddy gauges in Still need to do the final trim on this plate. Will be handy for mounting a few switches in as well Quote
fiddlersport Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 nice car, had two of these years ago, first car, great fun Quote
turbo Grant Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 I've started on a rear brake upgrade. The stock GT rear discs and callipers aren't doing it for me. I'm going fit a bias adjuster last if needed. So watch this space Quote
Clinternational Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Hey grant, What kind of brake's do you use at the front of the car. Im also looking for an upgrade. But discs on the rear doesnt do alot i think. 20% 30% ?? You want them to achive 40% 50 % ? Quote
shorty Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Its got 4pot wilwoods upfront, 280mm midilight caliper style kit iirc. the breaks where epic on track tbh! But with some bias and bigger rears it will be better as the rear was a little twichey under very heavy breaking. Quote
turbo Grant Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 I'm going to test the brake weight on the rollers before and after the rear brake upgrade. Callipers turned up today.... Hey grant, What kind of brake's do you use at the front of the car. Im also looking for an upgrade. But discs on the rear doesnt do alot i think. 20% 30% ?? You want them to achive 40% 50 % ?I had GT brakes on the front. But they didn't cut it for me. So stuck the wilwoods on. Now when you brake hard the back doesn't do a lot. Much better when you pull the hand brake on whilst braking. So going to fit larger discs to increase the effort. Then fit a bias adjuster if I need to dial it in better Quote
mech5107 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 What caliper and disk combo will you use at the rear... Quote
turbo Grant Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 I will reveal all when I've got it all fitted and tested. I'm going to use vented discs tho lol Quote
Clinternational Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Cool Show me what u got... Also Is your oem bias/splitter on the firewall in proper condition ? It's a common problemen that they get stuck sludge up.Did you test the brakes at the MOT ? Quote
turbo Grant Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Cool Show me what u got... Also Is your oem bias/splitter on the firewall in proper condition ? It's a common problemen that they get stuck sludge up.Did you test the brakes at the MOT ?The oem valves working. I've had them come in at work with the bias valve blocked up. Makes the car pull well bad lol We the other week my fan melted. So I fitted some new one. Quote
5e colin Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I will reveal all when I've got it all fitted and tested. I'm going to use vented discs tho lol that would be great man i have been doing research on bigger calipers with disks for the rears but got stuck on the al in 1 disk/hub combo ( starlet ) so i gave up on that 1 Quote
turbo Grant Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 I'm just going to cut the disc off and true it back up in the lathe. Then you will be left with a nice hub to mount a disc on. I started cutting the disc off but had no oxygen pressure. Will finish it later now I've got some more gasthat would be great man i have been doing research on bigger calipers with disks for the rears but got stuck on the al in 1 disk/hub combo ( starlet ) so i gave up on that 1 Quote
