Yes its a 4 pot the 996 turbo ran 4 pots front and rear unless it had the motorsport 6 pot upgrade on the front, I've had the callipers lying for the last 4 years so made this a fairly cheap brake upgrade.
STILL waiting on getting the car back so made a start on the front brakes.
Im using the spead.co.uk 280mm mounts with Porsche 996 turbo rear calliper ,they mount up fine now after a bit trimming.
I'm using a 16mm spacer but may try a 10mm on as it looks like it may clear, it also looks like a...
Nicely done Fraser .
On the rack in that picture the two small 6mm pipes at the right get linked together, at the end where the column fits i just grease packed it and made up blanking plugs for the holes.
Another new set of wheels bought :tonguewink: I think these will be going white and the 6 x 2118's I have will be going anthracite.
Graphics wise i was thinking of something simple like this
The spoiler on the Fiesta actually works well , its such a fun little car to drive. For the limited mods that have been done to it , it flys on track and still reliable and useable.
Cupman are you still running the standard ecu to power the fuel pump and using the crank sensor for both ecu's? Sounds like a similar problem I had which turned out to be the crank signal to the original ecu. I switched to a ford sensor as it gives a better signal.
Thanks a lot its been good fun to build if a little stressful at times , but when out on track it makes it worthwhile.
Was hoping to get the car back today from paint but looks like its going to be mid week now, ideally want to get out on track to test the car before i go back to work at the end...
Would it be worth converting to hydraulic activation James, with a external slave we use to do that on the cosworths to give better paddle clutch life and made them alot more drivable
Nope not breaking was just messing around, its off to get the roof sorted and get paint.
Im wanting to race in SLS at Knockhill , or at least the rounds I'm at home for. Its basically a time attack style series , ran in classes or power to weight.
Got the my oil cooler kit through from JJC along with a sticker kit. Really hopping that the Electric steering parts arrive this week, if anyone knows SkidMarx off of here could you give him a nudge.
Well after the bonnet/roof incident and a delay in parts for a eps conversion , I had got a bit pissed off with the clio, so a deal was done last week and today its bye bye to the blue clio ...
I have found a few threads on this but , I'm not sure how to wire the pin2 circuit as I'm running a omex ecu along with the standard one .
My thinking is that if i wire the constant feed for the omex to the kill switch when it is activated it will kill the ecu and the spark, so no need to tap...
Pulled the car into the garage yesterday and made a start on fitting the kill switch and lifeline kit.
What wire do I connect the kill switch into from the ignition ?
Also decided to move the omex ecu inside the car and moved the standard ecu towhee the power steering resivour was as I'm going...
I think the one that cracked in half was one of the original ones that were on the car when I bought it so genuine I think. The thing is it was never designed to take the force it did with the other clip not being shut properly, but the way it did split in half is scary.
I have two new sets of...
