alfalfa Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Race brakes are top notch, have mean yarns to the old guys there. What material did you get? Bedding them in is the best part, once you get the resins in the pads cooking it smells so awesome! Better than tyres i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glancn Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 1166? Can't remember >_< also getting a litre of decent elf/pennzoil brake fluid. Mad deep into corners like WTF SON!

alfalfa Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 For brake fluid, motul rbf600 is a mean deal. Its race spec, pretty much the same wet/dry boiling points (couple of deg) as the elf/brembo stz, but BNT sell it for ~$35 trade! Which is a steal! 1166 is a mean material, love braking mega hard. Last trackday i was braking reeeal deep into one particular hairpin, change down to second, lose the engine braking on back wheels, fronts would lock up for a fraction till clutch was back out! Awesome! Scaring passengers with braking is mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenyearguarantee Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 hey ive got some pretty nice chrome bumpers, came off a tt132 corona wagon, should look pretty good on yours. Except that one end cap aint so good and they're in chch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glancn Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 Not sure if they will fit straight on. But the plastic bumpers can stay, mid 80's stz hard heh. Cheers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 RBF600 = win Just a thought, I've been recommended to use Mintex 1144s over the 1166s as my car sees a lot of daily and weekend street use. The 1144s are a lot less destructive to the rotors, more forgiving for normal everyday braking etc. Might be worth considering if you use the car as your primary mode of transport and only go to trackdays twice or three times a year. the track hack TX3 that I'm building will def have 1166s equipped tho.

Glancn Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 I'm just guessing that it is 1166, could well be 1144. Can't remember! Got some 10" vented cressida discs off Mike's (Mr Dori) mate. Will see if they fit without changing anything else tomorrow. My other intake mani/adapter/32-36 hasn't arrived yet so just putting new head in with valve springs, cam, head gasket and oil. Rear spring leaves will come out tomorrow then taking them to Snells on Monday for resetting. Haven't tracked down some nolathanes for the rears yet, also don't know much about the adaptability of the bushes i.e. skim them down so will probably just go with new standard bushes.

peteretep Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 looking good man, if only we got timed laps at taupo, next time you could see the difference! what did you think of woolf mufflers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glancn Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Cheers! They were pretty good ay. Forgot the guys name (might be David) but they are pretty efficient and do a REAL tidy job. I'll take some under car pics soon to show the work. Exhausts are a piece of piss to them. My mate Darrin who is also my mechanic recommended Woolf to me.

mikuni Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 yours = needs to be that low davey boy. Agreed. Don't know about weight differences but strip the fucker owt yo. Then things won't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glancn Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 ^^ Pretty much. What shit can I strip out? I still want to be able to drive it around in almost full trim during weekends but will def take shit out for trackdays. And yes, I'll get it lowered more. Cheers Rich for the pic, thats my inspiration kinda. So gonna get fender mirrors. Might get rid of plastic trims along the sides (you can see a groove on the side of the wagon where the trim used to be) should I get rid of mine? Only thing is, on the drivers side where I fixed the trim up over the weekend has had mega exposure to moisture/water so has mean surface rust bubbles along the inner of that WHOLE strip :@ Would look pretty gay. Don't wanna respray really $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 leave strips on IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 my mark 2 looks better without strips, but it doesnt have the groves for them so it has a much smoother look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
