Thank you 😎

Lol I knew I recognised it in Bens latest photos. 😅

Small update tonight. After 2 weeks driving on the RP1s I’d decided they just weren’t feeling the way I wanted the car to feel. I used Pagid RSL 29s in the OEM calipers and I’ve used 29s in all my cars. I just like the way the Pagids feel so I’ve opted to just pull the trigger on a new set...

I too swapped mine with no issues. Sorry to hear you’re having issues mate.

Been following your progress on IG mate. This is looking absolutely fantastic, you’ve done a great job. 👌🏼

Next time Steve 100%. Just can’t get the stars to align for tomorrow I’m afraid. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Whoop!!

My Orbisoud had a silenced decat that fitted up fine but the cup racers had a Sadev with a different linkage.

Run it in on at least a bar. The fun begins at at 2 bar :D

Will be so nice knowing it’s all been refitted correctly and as reliable as possible.

Reminds me of the time I was coming back from the ring in the Impreza on a set of RE070s that I had trashed out there. They’re not wonderful in the wet even when new, leave alone after a hot weekend out there. Was running late for our ferry and ran into a monsoon in Belgium. I could feel the car...

Just photoshop my car blue. Job jobbed. 😂 The weight saving from wheels alone is huge vs 2118s. 2118 = 9.6kg X3MA = 6.5kg. So you’ll save 12kg in rotational weight before you get to the calipers and 2 part discs.

You're welcome to try before you buy mate. You'll need a 20mm spacer for the 2118s to clear though.

Popped back to Alex last night after work to give the brakes another bleed after a week of driving. Hooked up to Clip with the ABS module priming and another healthy dose of Castrol SRF, he proceeded to bleed the whole system again twice. I'd have to drive a drive a stock car back to back but i...

Lol, i did tell you about the Cups in less than 8 degrees C ha. Great pics and trip mate, looks like a fantastic gathering. Gutting for your mate though, i hope he can get back on his feet as painlessly as possible. Looks like he could have come off a lot worse.

Yup, i guess they were designed as a genuine competition wheel so i was quite relieved when they fitted as id hoped. Id really like to try a set of the Braid Fullrace on there too to see if they allow even greater clearance than what i have, just to have a different set of wheels to play with...

No use other than to help others, i measured the clearances on the X3MAs. EVO Corse X3MA 15x7 ET38 PMS 285mm Brembo kit with 285mm 2 piece discs. 5mm spacers (purely for aesthetics) Caliper to barrel clearance approx 3mm Caliper to spoke clearance 13mm (inc 5mm spacer) this would reduce to...

It’s a heap of work mate. You’re doing bloody well. 🙂

Lol, its been known as the oil pan in my industry for the whole 22 years ive been here. Im also guilty of calling petrol gas as im just used to it. lol

Driven it to work today and now covered about 50 miles all in. Still some squish at the top of the pedal due to needing another bleed (I've not re bled them yet) but Christ they feel mighty. The rate at which it scrubs speed and the stability in doing so, and the pedal feedback is impressive...

Yep, those PAS switches are shite, they're common for weeping and you don't need much of it to create quite a mess. As @Daniel said, get some brake cleaner on it all, wash and dry it. A clean dry engine will soon show it up. I had my oil pan cleaned and re sealed late 2019 and its already...

Indeed there aren’t many wheels that drop over big calipers without spacers. The X3MA that I have here and the Braid Fullrace and Fullrace C are 3 I know of that go straight on in a 15” fitment.

I hope so too mate. Just got a lot on to commit to it at the moment. There are loads of people I’d like to catch up with too.

Even the sexy ones? 😘

I doubt it mate. Got too much on at home at the moment with kids and house works. If I go, it’ll be a last minute decision if tickets are available.

I’d love to but I’m working Sunday unfortunately. ☹️

Well I’ve driven it home and initial impression which I was fully prepared for was they are initially far from earth shattering, as you would expect from an all new setup. The whole system has been off including a master cylinder swap so I’m well aware that they will want a good bedding in and...

Good things are coming fella. :)

Ive not seen them on yet but the thicker discs are significantly larger than OEM and should make a huge improvement to cooling when pushed hard. Im certainly looking forward to seeing how they feel with the correct master cylinder in place too.

Lol, Jon you just sold a perfect track car with all the right bits. Ha. To be honest i really liked my previous setup with the 29s but i found at Snetterton i was never 100% confident in standing on the brakes at the end of the back straight after a few laps. The pedal never went on me and the...
