Re: E36 Track Day Hack (v2) All that grief because of ring lands on one piston :/

Have you tried the Yellow Stuff?

No I haven't Mark, so they squeal sometimes! Why's that Ollie? Ok thanks for the feedback :) The bells and rotors I'm doing will be £135 posted for a pair of rotors from Hi-Spec. What are the RC6 like? From what I've read they're a bit noisy, dusty and hard on discs. Great! thanks for...

I've got braided lines and ATE blue fluid. Did you try the pads with normal Brembo HC discs? As for your 4 pots, which ones did you have, what pads and what size/type discs?

That's one way of putting it. The other one is the pads weren't man enough :P

I do all that but yesterday the car was going well so I stayed out longer than normal and started braking heavier and later.

How do you find them compared with the standard callipers? What master cylinder and abs/non abs setup have you got? I have a bit of brake cooling nothing amazing but better than nothing.

I'm having some brake bells made up to go bells and rotors which should help with the heat a bit. I looked at the Pagid blues and the brake coefficient and operating temperature weren't as good as the RC5+. Just can't decide whether to fit the 4 pots or not.

Killed my DS2500 at Outlton yesterday, I now have some shiney glazed pads and discs which need replacing. They've been fine until now but after a session of getting used to the better tyres and suspension I've been carrying more speed, which means less slowing down to some degree but I'm also...

The Megane chasing was great fun :D

Nice one Scott! Well deserved!

I love mine :D

You would be better off working the 1.6 head than trying to make a 2.0 head fit that will never fit.

Yes, that reminds me. If anyone ever needs help setting theirs up I would rather drink my own urine than set up the shifter. It is a genuine ball ache because it's so sensitive to adjustments. It didn't help that it was pissing down throughout so I had to wear full waterproofs under my dirty...

Re: Road/Track 172 Iirc I went for arp bolts as they were cheap enough

Well I got my PMS shifter the day after ordering. I was a little put off by the price but I stumped up anyway and got it fitted. Fitting was easy enough but the setup was a little trying, got it perfect in the end and I must say I'm quite impressed although I'd have felt about £100 cheaper...

Turbo jacket and ceramic coating the manifold and downpipe will help temps.

Want!

Whatever I got cheap in Asda

Tbf there's not a lot to go wrong with a bit of pipe and flanges. Ask for pictures, if it looks no good and the steel looks cheap then don't bother.

I'd change the rear spacers for ones that go behind the stub axle. With the spacers you have now you will put extra load on the bearings.

I can't get the Yanoo stuff in time to do it. I don't trust my soup stirrer on track anymore, it's a bit sloppy. Hopefully what I've got in mind will keep the noise to a minimum

It's much easier having separate spacers and shims.

Cheers lads! Just ordered a PMS shifter, also having a few ideas of how to remove the rattle before I fit it. See if they work...

Thanks Andy. I need to sort out the diamond on the front, it's been tatty since I got the bonnet.

Lol! They're out rain or shine, or in this case a gale. Yeah the bumper would end up the closest part to the tyres then. Might be possible to push the part where the bumper fits out too.

It was blowing a gale! So up front over a standard phase 1 I've got a cup subframe (+10mm each side), roll centre kit (+5mm each side), ET35 wheels (+8mm each side) and 10mm spacers. So a 66mm wider front track. On the back I've got the ET35 wheels and 7.5mm hub spacers. But after rolling the...

Interior has come back out for Oulton on the 27th, tracking has been set and I've put my spacers back on the front with the studs and nuts. It looks wide :) With the tracking set it drives better than ever, can't wait to get it out on track and see what it can do. Gave it a wash and a polish too.

Not had an issue with Flux, never had to claim mind. But they've always been the cheapest for me and beaten other best prices which other companies, some on here, couldn't beat. My other insurer is Adelaide through the IAM, they're very good on standard cars so my daily is with them.
