More than welcome chap. Just come and grab me. A few friends are driving it at Bedford, so if I'm not driving it, someone else will be :smile:

Nice one cheers mate
Any idea when you are going to be fitting the brakes, interested to know what you do to get them under some 15's

Car is going into these boys (I use them for my general race / track stuff, and they're top notch) on the 15th Dec, so trial fitting, testing and machining will begin :smile:

Plan is to try to get them to fit under;

- Oz F1s
- Speedline Williams Wheels
- 2118s

If they only fit under one set, I'll sell the other ones I have and get 2x whatever they fit under.

Whilst there it will be getting it's MOT, the speedlines powdercoated and the brakes (once machined) re-painted / powdercoated. Brakes will also be completely rebuilt.

Dibs williams if you sell

Well, I missed a whole lot of awesome whilst I was away!

I can't wait to go out in it! Excite!

Video of it on the rollers at RS Tuning. A lot of ambient noise as to be expected on an iphone and with the fan going tbh. You hear it better at the end :smile:

 

[Cub.]

Brake set up is coming together. Big thanks to @G 172 and @chris powell - top service chaps, cheers.

Calipers, plan is to get them rebuilt and machined to fit. Then they'll be professionally repainted in black with a white brembo logo.

Mounting brackets and custom HEL lines - excellent quality and build, thanks Chris.

Grooved Brembo HC's and Ferodo DS1.11s to try a new combination, from George, along with some ATE Superblue which he threw in for free. Hero!

I have also bought a Brand new 23.8mm non ABS master cylinder with 2 x 12x1.00mm and 2 x 10x1.00mm ports. This is the Clio upgrade master cylinder from a V6 406. Standard is 22.8mm. Bought from @Ph1 Tom - Cheers bud, although Hermes (being retards) have sent the parcel back to you, so unless I can stop them on Monday we'll need to sort a repost that i'll cover the cost of 😧

And then a few smaller things, flushfit lockable aerocatches;

And a tyre pen. To allow me to swap the tyres without forgetting which corners they came from...

The car is going along to the Oxfordshire meet tomorrow, so hopefully catch up with some people there :smile:

Money pit!

But a f*cking cool, quick, money pit!

 

[Cub.]

Money pit!

But a f*cking cool, quick, money pit!

Lol! The cost of the Brembo's will come in about the same as an off the shelf product, so thought I may aswell give it a whirl!

It hasn't moved since I got it back from RS Tuning, so it is a stationary money pit at the moment

 

[Christopher.]

You had best turn up tomorrow chumly

 

[Cub.]

I'll be there bud.

[Tony Hunter]

Simply the best.

 

[Mr R.]

Looking forward to seeing the 4 pots fitted mate. Be good to know how much needs to be machined off. :wink:

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

No worries Oli! Looking and sounding great this mate :up:

 

[TimR26]

I'll be there bud. :smile:

Really? :tonguewink:

 

[Cub.]

Really? :tonguewink:

Yeah, sorry chaps. Bad day.

 

[Tony Hunter]

As I said.

Took 5mm off mine and they're bang on. I also took 1.5mm off the where the nuts sit to give more thread protrusion.

Might as well ask here.. are brembos for Cupra's etc the same as meganes?

No idea I'm afraid bud. @Dan@SJM may know...

 

[NorthloopCup]

I'm pretty sure that the cupra ones are lug mount whereas the meggy/Clio brembos are radial mount.

Not much to update. The flamer went on a good run upto Red Bull racing and back, had a good chance to put it through it's paces :smile: I love it!

I tidied the garage up a bit, and acquired a few little bits to make life easier;

Then the flamer got moved out onto the drive as over winter we're doing some work to my brother in laws mustang;

Started to strip the engine back. It's much easier working in this engine bay as opposed to the clio one!!

Then I got bored and started stickering stuff and trying out the tyre pen I bought. Gay.

For those interested, I'll update mustang progress over the winter in here :smile:

 

[Cub.]

Couple more of the mustang;

Oh, and I finally got my new window put in after the break in....

 

[welshname]

Lovely. Look forward to seeing the updates.

I'll take the mustang, clio and the F1's.

 

[Rob]

Erm, dude, stain glass window? wtf?

 

[Cub.]

Got smashed in the burglary. That's how they got in Replaced it with a timber frame jobby as it's double glazed and more secure, and better on the heating front!

I know it got broke you mook, but I assumed you'd be a real man and have a replica made up of similar! :-(

Ha! That's a long story which involves the insurers saying their glass company could do it for £750, yet me finding the cheapest quote from reputable stained glass companies coming in at £2700.

So, I basically didn't trust the insurers glazier (uPVC outfit) and settled for cash which I used to get the nice timber jobby you see here. Mookface!

 

[Cub.]

So, small update on this. The car is at the garage getting the Brembos machined and fitted, and some aerocatches put on.

The calipers have had 6.3mm shaved off them, for a trial fit, which will be tomorrow. See if any more needs to come off. Going for black calipers with white Brembo logos which I got from Ady on here - top man! I'll update with photos / progress when I get it back, hopefully next week!

 

[NorthloopCup]

Just a shame that you need spacers to fit these otherwise I'd have been interested in getting a set!!

Yeah, although because I've been running spacers for so long it won't make much difference to mine bud.

You good? Sorry I haven't rung back yet mate, proper manic over christmas with decorating and work.

Remember your hub kit will push your track width out another 5mm per wheel, so 10mm overall mate.

Yeah I'm good thanks mate - it's alright I'm used to your empty promises now! Lol!
You?

 

[Addicted]

That Mustang looks awesome!

So I can drop to 10mm spacers from the current 16mm I run?

It is epic. Albeit currently it is in a thousand pieces in the garage 😂
