    Cheers guys, will be great to hear it once its on

    Well i managed to find a set of calipers through a top dude that should just about do the trick. You can see in the picture there are 2 of calpiers both porsche items. The small of the pair is commonly found on things like the evo's and scoob's. The larger ones are mine and are from the porsche turbo range. Bigger pistons and larger pads. I'll marry these up to a set of 2 peice brembo rotors in the future.

    just read this from the start - great build and it looks like you'll have a few spare exhausts left over at the end of it!

    Cheers guys

    Yeah you'd think so! I tend to recycle as much as I can so as not to be wasteful.


    The good thing about the car is that it's got so much adjustment I can set it up for either.

    Cheers dude, sometimes you just can't find what you want on the shelf. Skirts and bumper may change once it's all together but we'll see how that pans out!


    Guess what just o up

    Righty now. The bremos. I'm helping a chap with S62 V8 E30 at the moment so took advantage of the brake discs he's using (M3 CSL) to come to conculsions about what size i'm going to be with the Brembos. These are 345mm x 27mm. The pad sweep is perfect but i think i can get away with a 345mm x 30mm set up. Which brembo conviently do a 2 peice set up. So thats just super. Here is the brembos with the CSL dics.

    Back to the fueling,

    Was going to start with the fuel cell but decided to get the swirl pot done first. Its a 1.5 (ish) liter pot. Was just going to buy one but.....

    I'd like to say it was perfectly round and glorious but its not. However it holds fuel, doesn't leak and does the job. I'm going to be painting all the fuel componants black. Will look better than the plan ally against the candy green. Not sure about satin or gloss black yet but we'll see.

    I reckon just a matt or satin black, maybe with a hint of green pearl will be just the ticket. Will make a nice contrast to the high gloss candy green.
