Brake upgrades, seats, seat mounts.

[G@NDY]

To try and keep my mind off not having my car back, thought I would buy some more stuff for it:rolleyes:
Looking for a nice bucket seat, any ideas on a good make?? There is a place is wales that makes carbon/kevlar seats. But they arent covered, where would I get this done and how much would it cost. They advertise on electronic bay:

Then where would I get a runner from? do FD ones fit:confused:

Then I will have to look at upgrading the brakes, do I just get some good pads and discs, and save for some AP racing big lots of pot jobbies???

Thanks in advance:yes

Would I have to buy these runners??

young stu .. i like that matey

i have NO idea about buckets - so i cant really comment

is there a reason for getting them covered ?? i assume that it doesnt benefit them in anyways ?

Or you could up-grade to FD brakes for Grinder money for now! Something to think about if your abit skint after buying all these carbon bit etc.

[grinder]

you can only fit FD calipers - you cant use the discs

[G@NDY]

Need the seat covering because.... they dont have any covers



Been thinking about the FD calipers, but heard that its not to much benefit tho.
What about the 330mm 6pot D2 brakes. not cheap tho at £800!!

[g.miller]

I always thought the brakes on a T11 were good. So why not just upgrade the disc\'s and pads? These seem a good buy but i have no knowage of them but at £230 for a set of four vented/drilled/grooved disc\'s it might be worth a try.

If they are any good let me know as i was considering changing mine.

^ They look good, might go for a full set of mintex

Thanks

Mine has FD calipers up front and I thought they were up-graded (Vented and grooved) FD discs too. I could be wrong though they might be FC discs they were on the car when I got it.
How come the FD disc\'s don\'t fit Stu? Different offset or something?

[grinder]

errr not sure - something to do with the hub size ( i think )

I put FD calipers on the FC last week along with braided hoses.  Braking is the same but the biggest difference i found was that the FC calipers weigh a tonne compared to the FD calipers.:Nono!

The FD calipers scrub up a million times better with some caliper paint and also less prone to seizing :2Mad  which is the most common fault with FC calipers which is the reason why I changed mine.

Never thought of that. Is it a straight swap?? might have to get me some painted up then. Now where is that pink paint

[paul3944]

Not a complete straight swop you need to take the brake pipe off the FC caliper and install it to the FD caliper you might want to get new pipes for this.
When i done it i found the pipes where in bad order and they only cost a couple of quid from mazda.
