Jobs fucked basically mate. You have to strip the box to replace the selector shaft seal and the cause of the leakage - the bushes.
There are no gaskets on the casing either. It's just sealant between the 2 casing halves.
Yes mate I have. That's a set of 300mm brackets and 295x28 discs on a rotor and bell setup. The calipers have been machined by 2.5mm to drop them down to suit the 295's.
You can fit 300mm scenic discs and the brembos, but you can't run any wheel weights as there's not enough clearance. There's...
Fill it with some silicone sealant mate. You don't need to blank them for any other reason than to stop the s**t getting in there. It doesn't actually do anything once the pipes are removed.
I'm not making any mate. I've not made any from the start, so I'll just wait and see what it does.
The kit *should* do 230hp, but anything over 200hp and I'll be happy tbh, as that's all I originally set out to aim for.
Thanks mate, although I'll struggle to have some pics with the bonnet open - it's got no hinges and it's secured with 4 aerocatches! Lol!
Cheers buddy! Yeah no problem. Providing it's not raining (and it's not gone away for mapping) I'll push it out on the drive for you to have a proper look in...
Yes mate. They're the new r888r as well.
I've gone with 16's for a couple of reasons tbh - the ability to run the brembos and 295's wasn't actually a deciding factor either tbh! Lol! They're more of an afterthought!
The decision was made to go for 16's as I've got the Megane 5th gear ratio, so...
Time for another little update. The dog is pretty much back to full health now, so I'm relaxed again!!
I got the call to say the superleggeras were done and ready for collection. I went to collect them yesterday evening, and to say I'm happy is an understatement!!
Today I managed to get the...
It all comes with experience mate. I used to race bikes at cadwell, so I know it very well.
I found that I could take various corners at the 'ring flat out because I had no brakes! Lol! Pressed the pedal for a confidence application and found out that they'd overheated and fucked off...
Do you know what oil he specifies/uses mate? It's better to use the oil the builder recommends so as to hopefully avoid any warranty issues.
My running in will be done over........................no wait, it's run........................that'll do. It's run in. Lol!
Caldwell is an awesome circuit mate - they don't call it the mini ring for nothing!! Coppice should be pretty much flat as well for reference mate. :up:
Just make sure the running in procedure he specified has been done and documented and any associated oil changes are done mate.
I'd hate to see you left up s**t creek because it's not been followed to the letter if you get me.
Good luck for the mapping mate! Fingers crossed for a nice power...
That dog is the only thing that kept me going through some pretty dark times mate. Love her to bits! The ex reckoned I loved the dog more than her. She was right! Lol
