lol...patience. We just had a new draftie start so i lost my CAD licence on my laptop. Just waiting for the new licence so i can open the files and find which one it is Maybe i shoudl label files better then shit, good latest, fiddle, play etc etc

u must be an Engineer

[Ronin 09]

nah he's a CAD monkey.

Engineering monkeys cost too much...

[Scooby]

No I was pretty much resigned to having to cough up for some 18" LM's or similar.

Just trying to figure out a way of buying some F50 callipers & matching them to some rotors without having to pay stupid money for Brembo rotors. It looks like Stoptech will work as well as Biot. I just need some calliper bracket drawings to make some progress.

what about using 355mm GT-P discs from RDA / DBA? same pcd, but bigger studs and centre / hub hole. different offset but if you're making brackets anyway it doesn't matter unless the offset interferes with something. make up a few bushes and you're away.

Just as long as they are stamped "For information only" or "Not for construction" so no dumb arsed engineer goes & builds the things....

[Duncan]

Yeah the guys running 355 under 17s are mostly doing it because of regs....targa requiers stanfard wheel sizes but any brakes that can fit under them

[craked]

how are they for cold braking on the street? there was someone further up in the post that had the g4 ones, done any cold braking tests?

i have personal driven the boss car and have had no problems with them when they are cold

[Duncan]

At the start of every targa stage the brakes and cold and they worked fine with both race and street pads. I've also used them on the streets no problems.

[Ronin 09]

mmm biot

[Roy]

No good, the slots ruin the symmetry of the car...the go backwards

[djr81]

Nah they are the right way around. I think only DBA do them backwards.

Can we have a pretty photo of the front end?

[Ronin 09]

djr81, done.

that's me, the good lookin guy in the reflection lol

[Beer Baron]

you are a pretty handsome guy I must say. what a shame for your girlfriend that you're gay.

and at least all your slots are going the same way!

[djr81]

Ok, now I am confused (doesn't take much)

Obviously you have an AP caliper on the front. What is this teamed up with? Oh and which caliper is it exactly?

[Ronin 09]

It's an AP CP-5555 just with a different sticker arrangement to the standard ones you see. this is a 36mm caliper.

It's a custom hat and bracket done here by a guy in Melb, running AP 36mm x 355mm rotors (they were farkin expensive)

[Ronin 09]

erm roy which way are they meant to run?? this is from the AP website

edit - aha

[Scooby]

Ronin can you please PM the name of the guy who did your hats and what it cost?

Cheers

I was being silly. It doesnt really matter which way the slots are going provided the vanes of the rotor are going the right way.

Personally i prefer when the slots are the same direction as the vanes. this means centrifugal forces actually fling the pad material out of the slot rather then encourage the slots to get clogged up. Anal? Probably. Woudl it makes a difference? Probably not, especially since so many run the slots in the opposite direction to the vanes.

I want those front brakes mudafarker!
