Ollie's Silver Cup
Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
The Yokohama Parada's were only £160 for the 4 tyres in that size
2118's from Speedline are pretty reasonably priced also and the service was fantastic!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Decided on and ordered the 295mm Wilwood 4-pot kit from Jam-Sport
I was thinking the PF97 pads, but decided on Ferodo DS2500, as advised by Mark
Should be here and fitted mid-week!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Never had a problem with them as such; I was going to just replace the discs and pads with Brembo HC and DS2500s and add braided lines
However, I've always quite fancied some 4-pots, so thought why not

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I have Ferodo DS2500 fitted to my 4 pots, so much better then the previous Hawk (fast road track pads) I had fitted before.

That's good to hear!
It's the compbrake calipers you're running isn't it?

I have a few days off this week, so brakes will be fitted Friday all being well!
Just got to decide on and get the brake fluid! Any recommendations would be most appreciated!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Is that DOT 4 or 5.1?
Not sure if it makes any difference to what's best with them being 4-pots
i use ATE blue brake fluid and its pretty awesome!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I ordered a litre of ATE blue last night I'm assuming a litre will be more than enough? How much do are you wanting for your spare litre? :rasp:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Thought I'd give it a clean this morning, as waiting in for brakes being delivered!
I don't care if it rains now (which it probably will)...car's clean, shiny and in the garage :rasp:
Poorly framed photo...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Thanks!
ATE brake fluid arrived today...
Just awaiting the brake kit to arrive now; it was expected yesterday or today, but sadly hasn't turned up yet.
A little set-back as they were booked to go on tomorrow morning, which I've had to cancel, but Mark @ Jamsport has been great in keeping me up to date with the order and trying to chase it up with the courier today! :star:
Fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Update from today; the couriers appear to have lost the delivery, they don't know it is or where it's gone :dead:
Bit of an annoyance, as the car was booked in to get them fitted today
However, Mark / Jamsport are sorting out a replacement kit, which should be with me early next week
Cannot fault Mark or Jam-Sport at all; they have been fantastic as far as dealing with the order and chasing what's going on with the courier over the past couple of days! Would highly recommend them!
Obviously, what's happens to the kit while it's been with the courier is completely out of their control, but the way they've sorted it so promptly is great customer service imo!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Update; brakes arrived today!
Wilwood midilite 4-pot callipers:
Rather tasty looking mounting brackets and braided lines:
Ferodo DS2500 pads:
295mm Brembo HC discs:
Bit of a wait in getting them, following an issue with the courier, but they look to have been worth the wait!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I agree; had a nightmare with the courier (they lost the first kit that was sent out!! and didn't collect the second on the day they were supposed to!!) but Mark and Matt at Jam-Sport were always very helpful and did their best to sort it as soon as possible!!
Excellent customer service tbh!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Updates from the past week or so; although, these photos have been posted elsewhere in the media section
The Wilwood 4-pots went on last Friday, just over a week ago.
After bedding them in and using them over the past week, I believe they were money well spent! For the price, I think you'd be hard pushed to match the kit; I'm very impressed by it!
I went from the standard Renault set-up to these Wilwood's with Ferodo DS2500's, so the difference feels night and day! Pedal feel is nice and progressive too :approve:
Again, as posted elsewhere, the service from Jam-Sport was great; customer service was second to none!
I gave the car a clean over the weekend too, and went out for a few photos down the road. Again, these have been posted elsewhere on the site.
MOT is due this month; hoping it won't be a problem! :dead:
Once that's out the way, the next thing I'll be focusing on is ITB's and making a start on collecting bits and pieces
I've briefly spoke to Mark @ Jam Sport about the AT-Power kit and I think this will most likely be the bodies I'll be using!
If I can get everything bought and get the car running and mapped by next summer at the latest I'll be more than happy! (however, I'm hoping it will be done much sooner!)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
I have just had a read of this whole thread and I am very impressed by the attention to detail to your car. It looks stunning! In my opinion the new Speedline's look imense and suit the ride height. 15 inch and cheap tyres is a bonus. How do the Parada Spec 2's perform compared to the t1-r's? Any chance of some engine bay and interior w**** pics and maybe another video of the exhaust system? Keep it up and keep us posted. I'm sure the MOT will be fine as it look extremely well looked after

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Your car is so inmaculate that I wouldnt go the ITB path. better the RS2 manifold as you keep it "standard", bodies just require cutting and messing, and this is such a nice sample that would be a sin IMO, besides the difference in performance is so minimal.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project
Thanks; I prefer the 15" 2118's over the 16" Turinis Personally, I think the Parada's are better that the T1'R's; feels a lot grippier in the dry
Wet performance is mediocre, but so were the T1R's!
