2 pages with no pics. not good enough

Yes they do. Much softer springs (300f/450r if I remember correctly) with front and rear ARB. I have CF spec springs but couldn't afford their ARBs and now have a 1' ARB from the group buy ready to go on. What shocks you running Joe?

 

now you've done it, that 3 times rear ARB has been mentioned in this thread, Beetlescuffers will now appear

2 ways are easy to set up Joe. Email blink motorsport and they will send you a guide. Ps: cheeky fecker with that stiff comment.

Well had a problem with brakes lately, even if I moved the car 100yards I basically lost the brakes twice...foot to the floor Bled the brakes today, had to do it without the use of a easibleed because of the stupid reservoir cap. Anyways, had a slight air bubble in the drivers front caliper and the fluid in the rear brakes was black! Put the new motul stuff in it and my brakes are now alive again! so.. Just need a geo now...

[ArticMonkey]

The Geo will be the hardest things to get sorted.

2nd page of projects... Jeez that's not good

So better make a few updates:

New front splitter



New front mud guards



Although they got ripped off when driving into the mot station

New harness's



Also got a MBR geo done. Some fancy brackets to make my droop better

Some other stuff aswell.

Me weighed it on the corner weights aswell. Thing is a fatty though 810kgs... It needs a diet..

Are you not running normal seatbelts at all then atm?

[The Batman]

Nope

New harness's

Your ASM shoulder strap on the drivers side is on the wrong side, should be the inboard shoulder strap. Or you got two identical harness sets and not a LH and RH set.

[The Batman]

I got 2 LH or 2 RH ones.. Annoyingly

Just mounted wrong...  RTFM and put the green dot near the shiftertunnel.

You can't as the latch pins for the buckle are handed.  

 

I don't think many suppliers understand the ASM system or whether it's just because they don't really bother to check whether they send LH or RH ones, as when I bought mine I got sent two of the same ones as well.

[Exmantaa]

Thought you can change the latch pin (for the fixed lower belt). At least on my Schroth ASM's, but these have a different type press buckle.

Upper straps and metal fixing on mine are identical, besides the ASm part and a different colored dot....

so after the brakes failed at zandvoort ruining my day, managed to get it home by just pumping the brakes every time I wanted to use em. Jacked it all up and checked all brake lines and calipers, found no issue. Whilst I was there I swapped the standard nitron springs 400/450 for the eibach springs with helpers 600/700 that came with the car. Got the ride height pretty much where I want it. Dmwebt to look at the reservoir tank and removed both the pipes feeding the 2 master cylinders (one at a time) to test to see if the internal one way valves have gone but all seems fine. Decided to take it for a spin and my brakes are perfect again? Now either I did something unknowingly or my car can fix itself Either way I now need a test day. Am still going to fit the Vx reservoir tank and pipe work as atleast then I can use a easibleed setup

[vocky]

sounds like a duff master cylinder to me 

[The Batman]

That's what I thought and is why I bought replacements However why is the brakes working perfectly fine now?

[vocky]

the seals inside the Master Cylinder are failing, you will eventually get total brake failure 

 

Had this on a Mk2 RS2000 many moons ago 

[The Batman]

I have 2 master cylinders so least I will have front or back brakes Looks like dash out then!
