BANG! June 2016

well the i took the pistons out my rear caliper because they been sat for ages and they have corroded on both of them in the middle so there not smooth think i should buy new pistons and sills for both rear calipers

This should work a treat,
new disks vs Old

old brakes

new brakes

all fitted up behind 15 inch wheels

just waiting on 90 degree elbow for brake hose and redrill mounting screw in hub holes to complete


Cheers

Alrigth buddy nice set up, what discs did you get for the wilwoods? im doing the same but unsure which discs to use as heard a few different ones fit. and did u get your callipers from rally design? if so do u knw the part No. for the ones on there site that i need?
Regards Aaron

Im using 285mm rover 800 discs and new! second hand calipers.
Wilwood Part number is 120-7380 though these are larger pistons than the garndi setup uses and of course the bracket Im using is custom to suit the bigger discs and justy hub vs 262mm discs and GTi Hub

cheers

Bought myself some new konis in from Germany and got to fitting them today, also lowered it another 7mm so a total of 42ish mm drop, no photos but thought Id post it up. Car is firm and controlled now, feels better too.
the brakes have broken in amazingly, damn dusty brake pads though, begining to stain the wheels and they come of every week to be washed at the moment.
cheers,
GTP

were the konis much cheaper from germany?
do u mind me asking for a link if they were online..?

ebay from germany is where i got them. Do a GTi Koni search with worldwide turned on.
220 euro per end plus 20 euro DHL courier, 3 days from purchase to arriving.
best I was quoted here was 125 pounds per corner

On holidays so began the bodywork...also thought Id get creative with the guide coat.









so far have both rear quarters, drivers door rear bumper and middle of bonnet done, front arches are new so just need priming and topcoat, tiny dent in roof and below drivers mirror still to fix.

Cheers,

GTP

Not much an update but just some photos
brake brackets:

exhaust and konis


more lowering and smoothing body dents

looks good all patchy

despite having many cars for over 20 years this is the first time I have invested in real audio
Though I didnt spend a lot Im happy with the outcomes
Fusion CA-IP500 head unit 5x40 with woofer out ipod sits inside behind the face
2xFusion EN-AM56004 Amplifiers
95 Watts RMS per chanel at 4 Ohms
140 @2
270 Bridged @4
4 ALPINE 180W 2WAY 10cm/4" SXE Speakers in dash and rear 1/4
2 Fusion Encounter 6x9's 260watt @4 ohm in parcel shelf and finally
1 Fusion Encounter 10 inch 300 watt sub tube 30-250Hz





Also got a ripspeed 7 inch screen which Im toying with installing

Cheers,

oh dear now its turning into a austrilian swift build, next you will have 17" chrome wheels and neons

shit yeah...anyone got any for sale

Thats not real audio haha

Better than my first ever setup though!

real audio pah! more weight i got standard tape deck in 1 and shitty head unit in another with 1 speaker that you can't even hear over the engine rather save a few kilos plus its a scientific fact if you drive past jailbait with exhaust and induction your less likely to go to prison if you drive past playing bass

LOL!

Bass makes them wet quicker?

im glad to see you understand science lol

Remember Guys, I have this for going fast

in this


The subazuki is for fun and if your predictions are right for going to jail

GTP

shouldn't your ford be abit more australian and v8?

V8 would be slow in a straight line and slow around corners wouldnt fit without massive firewall mods and put me in the wrong class, the cossie is built for 400HP as is and the bottom end will handle 800 if I can afford the headwork and big ass turbo and motec. in the future maybee.

GTP

niceee! what do you do with it

Very nice!

Still if you want a really loud setup you can have mine for £180.00

WIll need a smaller box making maybe though haha!
