Nice workmanship there. Strengthened original or have you fabricated it yourself?

For the looks

 

[Tony Hunter]

Very nice, but so not needed. PM kit is good though, we have one fitted to ours.

Wilwood calipers have two opposite pistons, so they brake better then standard. And they are very light - this is important for race car!!!

Front calipers are Wilwood 4-pot:

With a FWD car there is so little rear brake force used it seems a bit of a pointless upgrade. I can see the need for the fronts but surely you'll be forever locking the rear wheels up under hard braking.

brake bias valve. i pressume he will set the braking to something like 60F-40R or 70-30.

The very reason for not bothering really.

Still a nice set up though.

[Tony Hunter]

hero brakes

Our old car had the rear brakes disconnected, it was spot on.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

how the hell did you use the hand brake to keep it stationary? or left in gear?

Because race car

Handbrake cables work wonders.

Handbrake cables work wonders.

LOL'd at that

 

[Tony Hunter]

Missed that one.

Cables.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Think I've learnt something new lol. Rear disk braked cars have cables to the calipers.

I only thought drum brakes had cables lol

Such an amature ( sp )

Tandem with two master cylinders with brake bias proportioning. Vacuum brake booster is removed, as well as ABS and ESP. Hydraulic handbrake.

And yes, this is race-only car

 

[Dave..]

That explains the race exhaust.

Yes

 

[Austin-182]

Legend!

How much has the rear set up cost in total? Who cares if it isn't needed, looks so cool.
