trying to motor on with this as i'm really wanting to get it finished now. 

 

bought some new brake discs, these are alcon rotors and im designing the bells and getting them made up. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

some quick man maths tells me that i should save about 14kg of unsprung weight from what i had with the old discs, and you can see why, look how small the vanes are on the old discs.

 

still got a tonne of stuff to sort out, but im at the stage now where the engine is going to be re-built and the interior can also be put back together. 

 

fingers crossed it will be ready for the next years national ! lol

Quite sure they will crack if used on track... they are too thin like the EP ones!

[The Batman]

They are the same thickness as the AP ones

 

pull your finger out Chris, almost there!

its the reflection, i wouldn't ever paint my tyre logos.

What about engine plans ( b207 )

[pete-r]

Are you designing floating or fixed bells Impressive weight savings too, 3.5kg per disc is over 50% the original isn't it?

Is it 14kg saving over oem discs or the 308mm boat anchors?

[pete-r]

Are the 308s 9kg+? Blimey!

[chris_uk]

yea the weight saving is from my old setup. 308 & 288

Like the stone guards Chris - seen those somewhere else ???

exhaust is all back in and connected up, all lambdas are back in too. 

 

 

 

had to make a pair of new intake gaskets. 

 

 

 

 

Finally stuck my replacement window in, its a twin layered piece with foam core, on the inside i have stuck some alacantara on to make it slightly more comfortable inside.

 

 

 

also, got the supports done in gold, for no other reason than the original paintwork on them was gash, so they needed to be re-done so i figured gold.

 

removed the rubber and replaced with 1mm carbon sheet, much stronger and it wont bend when air hits it.

 

 

 

i used a 3mm camber shim to crudely attached my water pump for the CC system to the bulkhead, its only temporary atm until i figure something better to use to mount it.. Im going to use some rubber to keep vibrations to a minimum.

decided to re-do my calipers so they all look somewhat decent. 

 

 

i bought new caliper pins and plates etc which i will put in at the end. 

 

i had to pull it right down to metal for the paint to properly adhere.
