Gareth
its a chargespeed nose...got it off a mate...
thanks for the comments.
I must say the brakes are exceptional.......and the master cylinder upgrade is a must...believe me....i cannot explain what these brakes are like...honestly.
saw the car at reworx brakes are very nice..ed can u tell me who supplied ur single a pillar pod need one for my car
Looks amazing.
Just wondering, does the porsche cylinder replace the clutch unit too, or are they seperate ??!?
My clutch line was replaced recently and they said both both brakes and clutch used the same reservoir (so assuming it is a combined unit)
Exscuse my ignorance if wrong. :Santa
Looking good Ed! Haven\'t been up J\'s for awhile so I\'ve missed out on your progress!
Should be getting some big brakes too at some point so I wouldn\'t mind a butchers at your setup sometime.
Will be interesting to see how much we can beat Laeeq by eh! ;)
Initial-D - What beat him under braking??!
Ed - How much for the master cylinder upgrade? I\'ve got my 6 pot AP\'s now, same as J\'s. Does this give you better pedal feel/response??
Why is everyone gangin up at me for...what have i done? blame (Jay for porting) or your tubs may be....hehehe :2Rolleyes
Not ganging up fella........just have to see when you\'re man enough to plant it in 3rd....... :WaveBye
Coming from the man who loves tinning his car in roundabouts........ :driving
Off Topic.
Chico, the council has had to raise local taxes cause of you!
They have now made a 12 inch curb last week right around \'your\' roundabout. :D
Ed, didn\'t think the car could get any better mate.. looking good... the Pics don\'t do this car justice! Sweet.... :Thumbs-up
:Santa :Laugh LOL!! :rollin :rollin :rollin
Subaru drivers and their off road machines!! :Hammer
It\'s all about A-B and whatever you can do inbetween.......
In my case.......mounting roundabouts..........in Dre\'s case.....making you car make as many different noises as possible.....
Sorry to hijack the thread....
Laeeq....Whats this I hear of shying away from a certain K?? :flamed
Ed the car looks amazing......big difference since when I saw it with Dre last....
Not shying away from no one....it was wrong time with frreezing roads and childish behavior by some so there time will come....lol :flamed
True, it is a bit slippery out there at the moment as some of us have found out already!! :driving :2eek
But when driving conditions are better i\'m sure we can all come out and play nicely!! :flamed :burnout
Its better to be safe then sorry.....people will just keep on goin so let them... :Talking1 :Talking1 :rollin
Road conditions??
What are these?? :burnout
Dre- can\'t even remember wher i got it from...some guy in america but lost his number.....i\'ll see if i can find it.
rx7 veilside- call tim on 08702406657
Pointman- Changed master cylinder which is bigger. not resevoir. Its a mazda item not porsche
Laeeq- don\'t you worry about my turbo. ;) .....when yours is screaming for dear life mine was like its out on a sprightly jog... ;)
incidently ours cars were making about the same power at the same rpm....but then my restriction came into play........ :Grrr ....either way you must love the way it drives ....i know i do...yours must go bonkers when you get into the upper rev range....make sure you take it easy though.
Went for a blat with K yesterday.......once he gets his fuelling sorted out i think our cars will be about equal.....
God will it ever end!!!!!!!!! :3gears-rh .
Nice one Ed.
So not much in it between you and K at the moment??
i\'d say about a car length but once he gets it sorted we will probably be about even stevens.....oh i am also running a little bit more boost than him on low (1.5 psi). but then i have restrictions (exhaust and rear housing) and he hasn\'t so once all is done we should be even
I must say your motor is looking very nice and very nicely sorted all round. You\'ll have to take us out in it when i see you next.
Went out in K\'s on Saturday and thought it was a bit of an animal especially when it\'s only running 0.85 boost and mega rich top end.
When it comes to racing against other high powered cars for the sake of 30-40bhp difference the driver can make the difference.
Did you and K do a rolling start?? If so what gear??
Ask laeeq........think it was third gear....
Maybe J should drive it if road conditions get in the way Laeeq?
Just playing fella..........i\'d love to come play if my car was ever out of the body shop :Hammer
I\'d like to see how mine compares to K\'s.......but if he\'s pulling the same as you Ed........I think i\'ll wait
Out of curio......theres a scoob meet early next year and was wondering if you gents fancied coming down?
:Talking1 :Talking1 :Talking1 :Talking1 :Tongue1 :Tongue1
Chico - I\'m sure Laeeq, Ed and K would :InLove love :InLove to come play with the Scooby crew but you may not be that popular on your forum once they toast a few of the heavily modded Scooby\'s :flamed :flamed :flamed
I think you should have a little WOT with K - I\'m sure he\'ll be more than happy to come out and play :burnout :WaveBye
I\'m not popular on there anyway as all they like doing is having quizz nights.......not enough actual driving for me....then they love the stick on bits instead of actual power/mechanical parts.
You could come down too.........oh....thats if you\'re run in by then.....
and before you say it....no, you won\'t still be faster running in then all the scoobs :WaveBye
Dre- We Did 3rd And 4th Pulls
Nice :cool
Did the back end feel planted? :burnout
YUP.......solid!
Laeeq- don\'t you worry about my turbo. ;) .....when yours is screaming for dear life mine was like its out on a sprightly jog... ;)
incidently ours cars were making about the same power at the same rpm....but then my restriction came into play........ :Grrr ....either way you must love the way it drives ....i know i do...yours must go bonkers when you get into the upper rev range....make sure you take it easy though.
Nice to see you guys making some power :cool Seems we both have a problem with the turbos - my hot sides to big and me compressors to small?????
Laeeq, was only kidding fella! Only just got my car back this evening and I don\'t blame you for for not going all out, I\'m losing traction changing gear!
chill out big boys one will end up in a ditch proving mine is bigger then yours..u all have fast cars. nothing to prove
