Westory Progress.

Haha, I bought a shed to put my wheels in, it\'s was just convenient that the garden stuff also happens to fit in there too.

Along with my front wings, need to out the bonnet in there but it\'s quite heavy and awkward to carry up a narrow path.

Shed was £500 and a day building it. Best thing for storing car parts, it\'s dry and retains warmth which is a bonus.

What breaks have you got in the car?

Ive half dug the footings out for the shed..lol! Got bored of that very quickly but needs to be done! We have an empty spare room that i\'m filling...what ever space you have you fill!

Brakes on front are Willwood Dynamite 11 with unknown grooved and dimpled discs with mintex 1155 pads... rear is Ford sierra caliper conversion onto the live axle with unknown pads. Braided throughout and Tilton clutch and brake pedal box. original rx8 throttle pedal retain for fly by wire.
No servo got to press hard but once warm lovely feel to them.There is a bias knob did not seem to make any different when playing ! left it in the middle !

Iv got a proportional valve, but I doubt I will need it in my car. It\'s a good one too. From what I understand you keep turning it up until you can lock the rear brakes under hard breaking then turn it back a little

I think that\'s the way togo todo it properly. Mine has 2 master cylinders are rear is smaller . the Knob turns a rotary bar to divide the pressure between the 2 cylinders....stuck it all the way to the rear and still did not lock due to smaller size. Leave in the middle and erase from memory no room in there:Hammer

Handbrake needs sorting though....or im just gonna remove.save some weight!

Some more updates...

Found that the gearbox is stuck IN the tunnel...well wedged in there so only way out is engine out then box slide out. Prop cant be dropped from the tunnel either its free but no way out...but in good condition.

Started looking at fuse box and wiring spent a lot of time under dash pulling cable down working out whats what. reckon i can relocate this to under dash on passenger side.

No rubbing at mo i think in the past the handbrake cables/ links have rubbed on it as when i got not attached and cable tied up out the way. It turns fine with no
contact.

Lol HA HA. Just got back from Picking up the Race trailer....or Rust trailer lol. Nervous wreck, If not a school night would be having a beer.

But for £410.00 for a covered 4 wheel braked trailer with ramps, ratchet straps and winch you gets what you pay for.

Has a hand brake issue the spring on the ratchet is missing so handbrake has an issue of coming on!...Cooupls of cable ties sorted that on the hard shoulder in the wing n rain!

Bit of a scrub, wire wheel and lick o paint will look million dollars better!. Ratchet handbrake easy peasy mend. Happy!

And its got storage in the front and a wooden work bench.
